MAX17055 ModelGauge shortens portable device development time
MAX17055 ModelGauge shortens portable device development time: Maxim Integrated has released the MAX17055 ModelGauge m5 to speed time to market of portable devices, by eliminating need for battery characterisation, during development.
Developers of portable devices now have an easier way to design in the most accurate and low power host-side battery gauges, says Maxim Integrated, of the MAX17055 ModelGauge m5. Traditionally, fuel gauges require extensive characterisation of each battery type, used in specific applications, to attain good performance. The customer would have to perform complicated battery characterisation, a process which could add weeks to the design cycle. The ModelGauge m5 EZ configuration of the MAX17055, battery characterisation requirement is eliminated, shortening time to market.
