SLVS504A – MARCH 2004 – REVISED JANUARY 2005
POWER AND BATTERY MANAGEMENT IC
FOR Li-ION POWERED SYSTEMS
Linear Charger Management for Single Li-Ion
The TPS65012 is an integrated power and battery
or Li-Polymer Cells
management IC for applications powered by one
Li-Ion or Li-Polymer cell and which require multiple
Dual Input Ports for Charging From USB or
power rails. The TPS65012 provides two highly

internal charge timer provides a safety backup for
charge termination. The TPS65012 automatically
restarts the charge if the battery voltage falls below
