Device and method for monitoring a battery in a mobile communication terminal

摘要

A battery monitoring device for a mobile communication terminal having a display. A current sink consumes a traffic mode current in response to a control signal output from a microprocessor. An analog-to-digital converter converts a voltage signal output from the current sink to a digital signal. The microprocessor compares the output signal of the analog-to-digital converter with threshold values stored in an internal memory to determine the remaining capacity of the battery. The remaining capacity of the battery is then displayed on the display.
