Overview
Power consumption of recent smartphones, tablets and other devices is increasing in recent years due to the higher functionality of these devices. FETs that are used to control charging and discharging are increasingly moving toward models with low-ON resistance to minimize electrical loss of the battery itself, leading to a greater number of battery products with a lower impedance.
Circuits with a lower impedance need to keep the overcurrent detection voltage low.
The <MM3724> is a protection IC that allows the overcurrent detection voltage to be set down to a minimum of 20mV.
If a low-ON resistance FET had been used, the appropriate adjustment for the overcurrent detection level becomes difficult, leading to generation of more heat than expected. Using the <MM3724> allows the appropriate overcurrent detection to be set, making measures to protect against battery heat easier.
