The NT1713C-QKEA6 with Battery Protection ICs SOT23-6 RoHS is a series of single-chip protection ICs that protect rechargeable Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs from overcharge, undercharge, overdischarge, and overtemperature hazards. Its SOT-23-6 footprint allows it to be used in a wide variety of industrial, consumer, and portable applications. It also complies with the RoHS directive. The internal circuit includes a number of functional blocks, such as a voltage comparator, a timer counter, a voltage reference, a signal comparator, and an over temperature protection circuit. The IC is designed to be robust and reliable and can operate in temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C. It supports a wide battery voltage range (2.5V to 7V) and has a load current capability of up to 5A. The IC also has an integrated soft start feature that limits the battery charging inrush current.
