DESCRIPTIO
U
The DC101 board is a standalone Smart Battery charger
that receives Charging Voltage(), Charging Current() and
AlarmWarning() commands from the Smart Battery via
the System Management Bus (SMBus) and sets charging
current and voltage accordingly. The charger continu-
ously monitors the built-in thermistor in the battery. The
thermistor information is used by the software to inhibit
charging at temperature extremes and to set charging
strategy for different battery chemistries.
