Description
In our modern world, many of the products we use
every day are battery powered. The end user must know how much capacity is remaining
to complete their task without being interrupted by a dead battery. Texas
Instruments battery gauges provide the most accurate remaining capacity, state of
charge and state of health indicators for all of your battery powered applications.
Our newest battery gauge, BQ41Z50 with Dynamic Z-Track⢠technology is designed
specifically for applications with dynamic or unpredictable loads such as a laptop
or smartphone running facial recognition to unlock, a drone accelerating, or medical
patient monitor taking a blood pressure measurement. BQ41Z50 supports battery packs
with 2 to 4 cells in series and provides monitoring, protection and authentication
for a full battery pack management design.
