3 Description

The BQ2970 battery cell protection device provides

an accurate monitor and trigger threshold for

overcurrent protection during high discharge/charge

current operation or battery overcharge conditions.

The BQ2970 device provides the protection functions

for Li-ion/Li-polymer cells, and monitors across the

external power FETs for protection due to high

charge or discharge currents. In addition, there is

overcharge and depleted battery monitoring and

protection. These features are implemented with low

current consumption in NORMAL mode operation.
