The X3102 is a protection and monitor IC for use in battery packs consisting of 3 series Lithium-Ion battery cells. The device provides internal over-charge, over-discharge, and overcurrent protection circuitry, internal EEPROM memory, an internal voltage regulator, and internal drive circuitry for external FET devices that control cell charge, discharge, and cell voltage balancing.
Over-charge, over-discharge, and overcurrent thresholds reside in an internal EEPROM memory register and are selected independently via software using a 3MHz SPI serial interface. Detection and time-out delays can also be individually varied using external capacitors.
