Preliminary
RT9541
Li-Ion Battery Protector
General Description
The RT9541 Series are protection ICs for over-
charge/discharge of rechargeable one-cell Lithium-ion
(Li+) batteries by CMOS process.
The RT9541 Series can detect over-charge/discharge
of Li+ one-cell and excess load current and charge
current, further include a short circuit protector for
preventing large external short circuit current.
Each of these ICs is composed of four voltage
detectors, a reference unit, a hysteresis circuit, and a
bidirectional short circuit protector. Package of SOT-
26 is available.
