BATTERY MONITORING
An application where the low power, single-supply operation is
required is battery monitoring in portable equipment applications.
Figure 29 shows a block diagram of a battery monitor using the
AD7705 and an external multiplexer to measure differentially
the voltage across a single cell.
The second channel on the AD7705 is used to monitor current
drain from the battery. The AD7705, with its dual-input
channel, is ideally suited for measurement systems requiring
two input channels, as in this case, to monitor voltage and
current.

Because the AD7705 can accommodate very low input signals,
R
Operating with a gain of 128, a ±9.57 mV full-scale signal can
be measured with a resolution of 2 μV, giving 13.5 bits of flicker-
free performance in such a system.
To obtain specified performance in unbuffered mode, the
common-mode range of the input is GND to V
the absolute value of the analog input voltage lies between
GND − 100 mV and V
GND − 200 mV can be accommodated on the AD7705 at 25°C
without any degradation in performance, but with significantly
increased leakage at elevated temperatures.
