Abstract
Smart Batteries today are a requirement for the latest high performance por table laptop computers. These new machines must combine measured performanc e, smaller packages and increased battery life. To achieve those goals, the designer must incorporate new methods of managing system power consumption and available battery capacity. This feature discusses how new components such as the Xicor 3100 are helping to solve the problem.
