The SAA1504T is manufactured in a BCD Power Logic 70 process and is intended to be used as a protection circuit for single cell Li-ion battery packs. The current and voltage ratings are especially designed for use in battery packs for portable telephones such as GSM.
The circuit continuously monitors the battery voltage, current and junction temperature and will disconnect the battery in case of an overload situation:
· Overdischarge protection prevents deep discharge of the cell; deep discharge of a Li-ion cell degrades the life cycle
· Overcharge protection for safety reasons
· Overcurrent protection on charge or discharge current rate
· Temperature protection for preventing charge or discharge at high temperatures
· Short circuit protection.
It must be stated that this is a safety IC to be integrated inside a battery pack. It is not primarily intended as an end
of charge provision.

· Zero voltage start-up
· Discharge and charge overcurrent protection
· Automatic release of current protection at removal of charger or load
· Low current consumption in normal operating mode
· Very low current consumption when battery voltage is lower than 2.3 V
· Accurate voltage detection levels
· Continuous monitoring of battery voltage and charge or discharge current
· External power FETs are driven with an elevated supply voltage, reducing the on-resistance
· Able to accommodate 20 V charge voltage
· Read out of charge (disable) status
· Small package (SO8)
· Low external components count
· Temperature protection
· Charger reverse connection protection.
