Embedded Battery Management

A Notebook "out of the box"

The world has become increasingly more mobile. The functionalities of current notebooks are geared towards high mobility. This "luxury" has also become more and more important for specialized applications as well. Typical uses are, for example, patient monitoring in the medical field, different kinds of mobile measuring instruments, computers with special robustness that is required for harsh environments such as surveying or for use in automotive engineering for vehicle diagnosis where special functions are usually needed. Applications within these or similar fields require high flexibility and are therefore frequently created through the use of COMs (Computer On Modules), such as those based on the current XTX™ standard. The power supply system needed for these types of solutions should be easily implementable and highly flexible. For this reason congatec has developed an Embedded Battery Management concept that fulfills these requirements.
