DESCRIPTION
The bq29312A is a 2-, 3-, or 4-cell lithium-ion battery
pack protection analog front end (AFE) IC that
incorporates a 3.3-V, 25-mA low-dropout regulator
(LDO). The bq29312A also integrates an I2C compat-
ible interface to extract battery parameters such as
cell voltages and control output status. Other par-
ameters such as current protection thresholds and
delays can be programmed into the bq29312A to
increase the flexibility of the battery management
system.

•
Integrated Cell Balancing Drive
I2C Compatible User Interface Allows Access
to Battery Information
•
Programmable Threshold and Delay for
Overload and Short Circuit During Charge and
Discharge
•
•
System Alert Interrupt Output
Host Control Can Initiate Sleep Power Mode
and Ship Mode
The bq29312A provides safety protection for over-
charge, overload, short-circuit, overvoltage, and
undervoltage conditions with the battery management
host. In overload and short-circuit conditions, the
bq29312A turns the FET drive off autonomously
dependant on the internal configuration setting.
