Visit All-About-Electronics' we have lots of electronic games including online casino games pages. Although these days there are many gaming websites available on the net, not all of them combine high quality service with incredibly exciting casino offerings. It takes a lot of valuable time to filter the ones that are actually worth a player's attention from the ones that have nothing to offer. We are absolutely positive that you've already happened to play casino games that turned out to be dull and exceptionally boring. To spare you the disappointment, we have created a list of several of the hottest online gaming websites offering their customers the golden opportunity to play bingo games of superb quality and a wide range of other highly-praised casino games. In addition, the rising popularity of online poker reflected by many players' uncontrollable urge to play poker games encouraged us to include in our list the most prominent online poker rooms. All you have to do is visit these online casinos and have the time of your life!

AnalogicTech Extends BatteryManager(TM) Product Family With Tiny USB/AC Adapter Battery Charger IC

9 May 2006

Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated (AnalogicTech) (Nasdaq: AATI), a developer of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronic devices, today announced the AAT3681, an extremely small, single-cell Lithium-ion/polymer battery charger IC designed to operate from either a USB or an AC adapter on the same input. This latest addition to AnalogicTech's rapidly growing battery charger IC product line supports the latest generation of space-constrained ultra-portable applications by supplying up to 300mA in a tiny SC70JW package.

"Many emerging portable applications -- such as Bluetooth(TM) headsets, high-end portable music players, and compact digital cameras -- use extremely small batteries that require tiny low-power battery chargers," said Bill Weiss, Product Line Director for AnalogicTech. "By offering a simple, complete USB/AC adapter battery charger in an ultra-small 2.0x2.1mm SC70JW package, the AAT3681 allows designers to meet tight space constraints, reduce development time, and quickly get their product to market."

Complete Solution

The AAT3681 integrates a charging device and reverse blocking diode to precisely regulate battery charge voltage and current for 4.2V Lithium- ion/polymer battery cells. It operates from a DC power source or USB port across a 4.0V to 6.5V input voltage range.

The device's adapter/USB charge input constant current level can be programmed up to 300mA for rapid charging. The AAT3681 includes a status monitor output pin capable of directly driving an external LED to indicate battery charge state. Other than optional decoupling capacitors, the device requires only a single external resistor for complete functionality.

Protection circuits in the AAT3681 continuously monitor the charge state for fault conditions. If an over-voltage, short-circuit, or over-temperature condition occurs, these circuits automatically shut down the AAT3681 to protect the charging device, control system, and battery under charge.

First ModularBCD(TM) Production Device

The AAT3681 is AnalogicTech's first production device developed in its proprietary new ModularBCD process technology. This new process differs from conventional BCD technologies by using a low-temperature, CMOS-like flow capable of achieving high yields while ensuring device performance and electrical isolation. By allowing AnalogicTech's designers to easily add or remove modules and devices with different supply voltages, this new highly modular process vastly simplifies analog and mixed-signal circuit reuse. The AAT3681 battery charger IC is a standalone product and is a key ModularBCD building block for upward integration into power systems-on-chip.

Price and Availability

Specified over the -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C temperature range, the AAT3681 is available in a Pb-free, 8-pin 2.0x2.1mm SC70JW package. The device sells for $0.76 in 1000-piece quantities.
