The LS0502SCD33S, the newest eFuse Protection IC in Littelfuse’s lineup, has been unveiled. This innovative development establishes a new standard in the industry by introducing the Single Cell Super Capacitor Protection IC, which is specifically designed for charging backup power sources in harsh environments, released the official release. 
In many situations, backup power is crucial, but the low-temperature tolerance of lithium-ion batteries frequently limits their use. In response, Littelfuse designed the LS0502SCD33S, utilizing supercapacitor technology to provide an excellent power/energy density solution that works well across a wide temperature range.
This single-cell strategy guarantees a portable and dependable backup solution. The LS0502SCD33S is a comprehensive backup storage capacitor system solution that integrates input overvoltage, overcurrent protection, a reverse blocking switch, and supercapacitor charging control circuits.
A Standout Feature of the LS0502SCD33S is its:
- Proficiency in effortlessly managing high operational voltages (above 3 V).
- Eliminates the necessity for intricate power management arrangements.
- The LS0502SCD33S eFuse Protection IC protects against potential system impairments with its integrated input overvoltage and current protection mechanisms.
- Single Cell Super Capacitor Protection IC offers an adaptable, all-in-one, and space-efficient solution for storage capacitors or capacitor banks.
- It incorporates an ideal diode for reverse blocking to maintain performance and efficiency when the input voltage drops.
The LS0502SCD33S Single Cell Super Capacitor Protection IC is ideally suited for various SuperCap uses:
- Automotive dash cameras,
- Smart utility meters,
- IoT gadgets,
- Industrial handheld devices,
- Portable electronics with removable batteries.
“With the LS0502SCD33S Single Cell SuperCap eFuse, we provide electronic developers a supremely efficient supercapacitor charging protection IC solution integrated into a single component,” commented Bernie Hsieh, Assistant Product Manager for the Protection Semiconductor Division at Littelfuse. “This extension of the eFuse Protection ICs family broadens our offerings to include protection for portable battery-operated devices, positioning Littelfuse at the forefront of the fast-evolving SuperCap management and protection market.”
The LS0502SCD33S stands out by supporting an extensive array of protection functionalities, such as Over-Current Protection (OCP) and Over-Voltage Protection (OVP), while also being energy-efficient and facilitating automatic primary/backup switchover, distinguishing it from competing products.
Beyond its protective capabilities, the LS0502SCD33S offers numerous advantages. It enhances reliability and extends the lifespan, helping manufacturers lower maintenance costs. Moreover, it promotes extended battery durability and minimizes the end-products’ size due to its compact design, an essential feature for devices that require prolonged standby times.
