The LTC1760 implements all elements of a version 1.1 "Smart Battery System Manager" except for the generation of composite battery information. An internal multiplexer cleanly switches the SMBus Host to either of the two attached Smart Batteries without generating partial messages to batteries or SMBus Host. Thermistors on both batteries are automatically monitored for temperature and disconnection information (SafetySignal). , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
