ON Semiconductor vice president of sales Lin Jianming China: the near future, sales of mobile phones and adapters will be completely separate, which will pose a mobile phone side of the test charge.Dell Inspiron 6000 battery

Lin Jianming: If there is no perfect internal overcharge protection circuit, the battery will overcharge may cause an explosion of serious consequences.

Charging the phone interface, over-voltage is undoubtedly the most dangerous. Poor quality in the adapter, failure or user error then a different device adapter can happen. In general, your phone charge management IC can control the charge current and voltage, to maintain the security charge the battery. However, if the rated current of the input voltage is too high while charging, over charging management circuit can withstand value, the circuit components will be adjusted because of charge-off or burned out of control power and role. The worst case, at this time if the user also uses low-cost lithium batteries, could not complete overcharge protection circuit, the battery will overcharge may cause serious consequences of such an explosion. To this end the provisions of the phone in YD/T1591-2006 in the side to contain over-voltage protection circuit to prevent such from happening. Overvoltage protection (OVP) circuitry detects over-voltage fault conditions, the detection circuit will be switch off, disconnect the phone and the adapter output.DELL Latitude E6400 Battery

Power Management Products National Semiconductor Senior Application Engineer Zhongjian Peng: charge management circuit functions normally charge by the management of single chip (Charger IC), or integrated charge-management functions of power management chip (PMU) to achieve. Rechargeable lithium battery management circuitry to support features for the trickle charge, constant current charging, constant voltage charging of the three charging process, and should have protection mechanisms to prevent overheating. Advanced charge management circuit also should have the input voltage over-voltage protection function. The protection of the safety of the product itself is very important. Some unqualified charge management circuit, often lack the protection of the design, the circuit itself may cause damage to the system overheating, or even more serious security issues.ACER TM00741 Battery

MPS Marketing Director Yuan Wenlin Asia: a new generation of rechargeable IC PMU have in addition to charging function through the highly integrated hardware to achieve high reliability, but also should have OVP (overvoltage protection), OCP (overcurrent protection) , NTC function, both a high input voltage, small size and simple external circuit. USB charger for battery management IC should be consistent with low standby power / charge current programmable switching / charging mode multiple input / can set the input power charger or USB port, and automatically charge the battery and cell phone distribution work be current; and in accordance with standard USB port of the limit.

LinkSwitch-II 5% voltage accuracy, current accuracy of 10%, for the adapter and charger is ideal. Also, it requires 20 components to build a complete AC power, which saves the cost of components itself, but also saves production time, assembly and inventory costs. “In China, labor costs have increased to around 0.003 U.S. dollars each component cost, for small patchy resistance and capacitor, in the cost of Shangzhangfuduo Gengda.” Doug Bailey of Road.

MPS full range of battery charging chips are produced using high pressure technology, have a minimum 20V, maximum 28V of voltage, and have been integrated over-voltage protection and meet the low standby power requirements. To comply with USB OTG low standby power requirements, a new generation of MP-2605X series also will reduce the standby current to 40uA, and increase the reverse input voltage protection (-16V) function, following the industry MPS charge chips widely used:

MP2605 standard charge applies to all chip general hand-held portable devices; MP26056 support USB / adapter pair of input interface for USB interfaces need to charge the portable device; MP2607 built pwr path, can be automatically assigned to charge the battery and the phone work current required for high-end hand-held portable devices such as smart phones, GPS navigation, PDA applications.

“Based on customer feedback, they are using MPS of charge chips, the great majority Yin Wei cost considerations Ercai Yong PMU / single chip charge management, but only to find defects line charge account all Ke Fan Xiu back the number of more than 20%, but cause the overall cost increase; but wants to be using external components to enhance the safety factor PMU, the additional cost and board area, also makes the industry difficult to sustain. At this point if the use of MPS battery charging chip, cost and product quality can be strikes a balance. “Yuanwen Lin said.

TIs bq24070 series and bq24032A series provides a separate charge path and system power path, effectively prevent the repeated charge and discharge system problems, battery life is greatly extended; resolve the cell phone a full charge the battery consumption issues began to extend the standby time 10 ~ 20%; effectively prevent the system out of control due to CPU crash and the risk of charge, to prevent the result of external pressure and breakdown voltage over the issue, greatly increasing the reliability of the system; eliminates the additional over-voltage protection, and path switching MOSFET and Schottky diode, reducing total system cost. The adapter current consumption in the system and charge redistribution between the automatic on-demand, using a small adapter, but greatly accelerated the charge time and reduce costs while improving the user experience.Acer Aspire 5000 battery

“TI advocates the path of dynamic power management in battery power management applications has been recognized by customers, such as dual-port (USB, AC adapter input, respectively) linear charge management chip bq24032A series, single-port bq24070 Series (USB, AC adapter to share an input), “Zhang was said.

Web Time Clock”>Managing employee time is major concern to modern business world. In the past, there were several disconnected components in time tracking, and an effective centralization of accumulated time data was a mess. With technological advances, today’s business has effective centralized tracking employee time system, which is a combination of hardware and software facilities. Time tracking now means keeping log of all big and small actions and assignments completed in any given periods of time. Time tracking automatically reduces overhead in other areas like payroll, processing or tracking employee productivity. A fully equipped time tracking software allows an employer to monitor the activities of employees on different projects. A software solution (like the one from WorkExaminer.com) designed for tracking employee time allows you accurately record billable hours and make necessary modifications in workflow for greater productivity. Employee time tracking and management software has different applications. If you hire out employees to a third party and bills the party based on human hours spent, you can give make accurate bills by reporting the human hours. Many businesses have special requirements in the area of security. There is employee tracking software available that has the capability of fingerprint verification. This feature helps an employer make sure that a staff member is actually on site when they log in. While these systems can be more expensive than other types of employee time tracking software, they provide important security confidence. Such applications work very simply. Rather than a password, staff members can only log in by fingerprint. The log in procedure involves an employee entering their username, followed by a fingerprint rather than a password. Special readers are generally attached to each personal computer using a USB connection and additional software is needed as well. If not all employees are required to use this extra security measure, these systems can generally be designed to accommodate that. One fingerprint reader can often be used to log in more than one staff member.

A number of other issues can also be addressed by employee tracking software. When employers wish to monitor the work activity of staff members, these programs can help them do this without the employee’s knowledge. Some applications will take random screenshots of the computer screens of staff members. These screenshots can either be saved or they can be viewed by managers using computers at another location and can be viewed in real time. The programs that staff members are using can be monitored as well. Some applications can generate automatic reports on all employees, or just a single worker. Key stroke recording is another valuable feature. Every key that a staff member presses can be logged for future examination, or can be seen in real time as well. Even the files and folders that workers open can be detected and monitored. If a particular staff member has a weakness for instant message chatting that is not related to the work environment, these chats can be recorded and monitored.
