IEEE 1625 Helps Promote Safety and Reliability

摘要

This IEEE standard's proven design methodologies help designers of Li-ion battery-powered systems achieve safety and reliability in their designs despite time-to-market pressures. As the number and variety of battery-powered products increases, the marketplace becomes an attractive target for design and manufacturing companies diversifying their product portfolios. With this diversification comes quick time-to-market demands and engineers inexperienced with the new applications. This, in turn, increases pressure on the system designer to "just get the job done." In response to these conditions, the IEEE 1625 standard was developed by manufacturers of Li-ion/ Li-ion polymer cells, battery packs, battery and power management semiconductors, and portable computing systems. The standard aims to offer design methodologies to facilitate development of reliable and safe battery-powered systems that still provide the desired features and functions.
