GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAA1502ATS is manufactured in a Bipolar, CMOS and DMOS (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.

FEATURES
• Integrated power switches
• Temperature protection
• Zero voltage start-up
• Discharge and charge overcurrent protection
• Automatic release of current protection at removal of charger or load
• Extremely low current consumption when battery voltage is lower than 2.3 V
• Low current consumption in normal operation mode
• Accurate voltage detection levels
• Low resistance in current path
• Able to accommodate 17.5 V charge voltage
• Read out of charge disable status
• Small package (SSOP16)
• Low external components count
• Continuous monitoring of the battery voltage and (dis)charge current.
