BATTERY CURRENT MONITOR APPLICATION
This application example shows how the LMP8601/LM-
P8601Q can be used to monitor the current flowing in and out
a battery pack. The fact that the LMP8601/LMP8601Q can
measure small voltages at a high offset voltage outside the
parts own supply range makes this part a very good choice
ADVANCED BATTERY CHARGER APPLICATION
The above circuit can be used to realize an advanced battery
charger that has the capability to monitor the exact net current
that flows in and out the battery as show in
output signal of the LMP8601/LMP8601Q is digitized with the

for such applications. If the load current of the battery is higher
then the charging current, the output voltage of the LMP8601/
LMP8601Q will be above the “half offset voltage” for a net
current flowing out of the battery. When the charging current
is higher then the load current the output will be below this
“half offset voltage”.
A/D converter and used as an input for the charge controller.
The Charge controller can me used to regulate the charger
circuit to deliver exactly the current that is required by the load,
avoiding overcharging a fully loaded battery
