Understanding the basics of charging and discharging circuits for lithium-ion battery cells is key to proper contacting system design as well as successful manufacturing and testing of cells.

The LP3946 is a stand-alone single cell Li-Ion charger with an integrated pass transistor and current sense resistor. In addition to its charging function, it can be used in low dropout (LDO) mode.

In general, battery technology advances at a glacial pace, and proposed new chemical makeups are rightfully met with skepticism. But this revelation's a little different. Instead of trying to coax ...

LinkSwitch-3 monolithic switching ICs from Power Integrations provide accurate primary-side regulation for chargers and adapters up to 10 W, suitable for smart phones, tablets, and other mobile ...
