The bq2970 battery cell protection device provides an accurate monitor and trigger threshold for overcurrent protection during high discharge/charge current operation or battery overcharge conditions.

The bq2970 device provides the protection functions for Li-Ion/Li-Polymer cells, and monitors across the external power FETs for protection due to high charge or discharge currents. In addition, there is overcharge and depleted battery monitoring and protection. These features are implemented with low current consumption in NORMAL mode operation.
