The MP2755GC-0000-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a Bi-Directional Battery Management IC that has been designed for 2-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer batteries. It requires an input voltage of less than 20 V. This IC utilizes an inductor-less switched-capacitor architecture, providing an output current of up to 10 A in forward mode and a charging current of 5 A in the reverse mode. It includes a shipping mode function that can shut down the output with minimal battery current consumption. This IC supports a system reset function for added flexibility. It incorporates I2C interface for remote operating control, charging/discharging parameter programming, and status monitoring of the IC.
This IC features an audio mode designed to eliminate audible noise during operation. It encompasses a dead battery activation power path and achieves efficiency levels of up to 99.3%, ensuring optimal performance and energy utilization. This battery management IC is available in a wafer package that measures 2.90 x 2.55 mm and is ideal for smartphones, and tablet PC applications.
