[Rajendra’s] car had just about all the bells, whistles, and gauges he could dream of, but he thought it was missing one important item. In an age where cars are heavily reliant on intricate ...

This Design Idea describes a 9V battery-voltage monitor whose total parts cost less than 34 cents (Figure 1). You configure transistor Q 1 as a 10-mA current sink. LED 1, a Kingbright WP7104IT, is on ...

When management decided to purchase and install a new, vented lead-acid battery system at the Dogwood power plant, decision-makers also investigated the benefits of adding a continuous ...

Multiple LTC6804 devices can be connected in series, permitting simultaneous cell monitoring of long, high voltage battery strings. Each LTC6804 has an isoSPI interface for high speed, RF-immune, ...

In today’s boats, electric power rivals the importance of engine horsepower. Even the electronic control unit on today’s marine engines—that brain that makes outboards and inboards do what we want ...

The LTC6801 is a high-voltage battery-stack fault-monitor that operates without a microprocessor and without the need for optocouplers or isolators. Each monitor device monitors up to 12 ...

released the benchmark software ' PerformanceTest ' and the load test software 'BurnInTest'. When the remaining battery level / voltage falls below the specified value or the temperature / discharge ...

Linear Technology's LTC 6803 is a second generation highvoltage battery monitor for hybrid/electric vehicle (HEVs), electric vehicles(EVs) and other high voltage, high performance battery systems. The ...

Despite the increasing popularity of Lithium-ion battery technology, valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries remain the most widely used in data center UPSs today. However, they must be managed ...

This circuit solved a problem encountered in developing a portable device with an ARM Cortex-M0 processor. The power supply consisted of two AA batteries (2 × 1.5 V), and I needed to signal the user ...
