Hello guys!
New topic from me, I have a question about lithium ion charger IC. My first post here was about the LCR measurement device we are working on.
Right now I have selected a microcontroller (ATxmega128A3U) but I am a bit stuck on the BMS.
The battery that we will be using is a 18500 lithium ion (Samsung ICR18650-26).
Therefor I have come up with some requirements:
- Need for some kind of communication between the uC and the BMS (SPI, I2C, etc.)
- Buildin output regulator, like a buck convertor or regulator (the system runs on 3,3 Volt)
- 1 lithium cell controller
- input will be 5 volt (USB)
- output current will not be higher than 300mA
If it has some kind of LED interface, that would be great but it is not a must.
I already have looked at Maxim and TI. But it is possible that I didn't searched well.
So guys can you please help me the right battery management IC. Any tips are also welcome.
