20V Battery Gas Gauge
The LTC
®
2943 multicell battery gas gauge makes direct measurements of 3.6V to 20V battery stacks. Absolutely no level shifting
circuitry is required to interface with multicell voltages, minimizing current consumption and preserving measurement accuracy.
The LTC2943 is a true high voltage gas gauge that measures charge, voltage, current and temperature to within 1% accuracy —
all of the essential parameters required to accurately assess battery state of charge (SOC).

The LT
®
3652 is a complete monolithic step-down battery charger that operates over a 4.95V to 32V input voltage range. The LT3652
provides a constant-current/constant-voltage charge characteristic, with maximum charge current externally programmable up to 2A.
The charger employs a 3.3V float voltage feedback reference, so any desired battery float voltage up to 14.4V can be programmed with
a resistor divider. The LT3652HV increases this range to 18V.
The LT3652 employs an input voltage regulation loop, which reduces charge current if the input voltage falls below a programmed level,
set with a resistor divider. When the LT3652 is powered by a solar panel, the input voltage regulation loop is used to maintain the panel
at peak output power.
