IC protects battery backup systems from too much voltage and current

By Redding Traiger | May 10, 2024

Backup power is essential in numerous settings, but lithium-ion batteries’ limited temperature tolerance often restricts their application. In response, Littelfuse engineered the LS0502SCD33S, leveraging supercapacitor technology to deliver a solution that excels in a broad temperature range and offers superior power/energy density. This single-cell approach ensures a reliable and compact backup option.

A standout feature of the LS0502SCD33S is its proficiency in effortlessly managing high operational voltages (above 3 V), eliminating the necessity for intricate power management arrangements. The LS0502SCD33S protects against potential system impairments with its integrated input overvoltage and current protection mechanisms. It offers an adaptable, all-in-one, and space-efficient solution for storage capacitors or capacitor banks. Additionally, it incorporates an ideal diode for reverse blocking to maintain performance and efficiency when the input voltage drops.

The LS0502SCD33S Single Cell Super Capacitor Protection IC is ideally suited for various SuperCap uses, such as: Automotive dash cameras; Smart utility meters; IoT gadgets; Industrial handheld devices; Portable electronics with removable batteries.

The LS0502SCD33S stands out by supporting an extensive array of protection functionalities, such as Over-Current Protection (OCP) and Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), while also being energy-efficient and facilitating automatic primary/backup switchover, distinguishing it from competing products.

Beyond its protective capabilities, the LS0502SCD33S offers numerous advantages. It enhances reliability and extends the lifespan, helping manufacturers lower maintenance costs. Moreover, it promotes extended battery durability and minimizes the end-products’ size due to its compact design, an essential feature for devices that require prolonged standby times.

The LS0502SCD33S is a comprehensive backup storage capacitor system solution that integrates input overvoltage, overcurrent protection, a reverse blocking switch, and supercapacitor charging control circuits. It ensures balanced charging for two-cell supercapacitor configurations, operates with a minimal 2.5 μA current draw after the storage component is fully charged, and signals the disconnection of the input supply, allowing the primary system to react swiftly.

The eFuse Single Cell Protection ICs are available in tape and reel format in quantities of 5,000.
