General Description
The DS2788 measures voltage, temperature, and cur-
rent, and estimates available capacity for rechargeable
lithium-ion (Li+) and Li+ polymer batteries. Cell charac-
teristics and application parameters used in the calcu-
lations are stored in on-chip EEPROM. The available
capacity registers report a conservative estimate of the
amount of charge that can be removed given the cur-
rent temperature, discharge rate, stored charge, and
application parameters. Capacity estimation is reported
in mAh remaining and percentage of full.
LED display drivers and a debounced input make dis-
play of the capacity information easy. The LED pins can
directly sink current, requiring only a resistor for setting
the current in the LED display, thus reducing space and
cost.

DS2788
Detailed Description
The DS2788 operates directly from 2.5V to 4.5V and
supports single-cell Li+ battery packs. As shown in
Figure 2, the DS2788 accommodates multicell applica-
tions by adding a trim resistor for calibration of an
external voltage-divider for VIN. NV storage is provided
for cell compensation and application parameters.
Host-side development of fuel-gauging algorithms is
eliminated. On-chip algorithms and convenient status
reporting of operating conditions reduce the serial
polling required of the host processor.
Additionally, 16 bytes of EEPROM memory are made
available for the exclusive use of the host system
and/or pack manufacturer. The additional EEPROM
memory can be used to facilitate battery lot and date
tracking and NV storage of system or battery usage
statistics.
A 1-Wire interface provides serial communication at the
standard 16kbps or overdrive 140kbps speeds, allow-
ing access to data registers, control registers, and user
memory. A unique, factory-programmed, 64-bit regis-
tration number (8-bit family code + 48-bit serial number
+ 8-bit CRC) assures that no two parts are alike and
enables absolute traceability. The 1-Wire interface on
the DS2788 supports multidrop capability so that multi-
ple slave devices can be addressed with a single pin.
Power Modes
The DS2788 has two power modes: ACTIVE and
SLEEP. On initial power-up, the DS2788 defaults to
ACTIVE mode. While in ACTIVE mode, the DS2788 is
fully functional with measurements and capacity esti-
mation continuously updated. In SLEEP mode, the
DS2788 conserves power by disabling measurement
and capacity estimation functions, but preserves regis-
ter contents. SLEEP mode is entered under two differ-
ent conditions and an enable bit for each condition
makes entry into SLEEP optional. SLEEP mode can be
enabled using the power mode (PMOD) bit or the
undervoltage enable (UVEN) bit.
The PMOD type SLEEP is entered if the PMOD bit is set
and DQ is low for tSLEEP (2s nominal). The condition of
DQ low for tSLEEP can be used to detect a pack discon-

nection or system shutdown, in which no charge or dis-
charge current flows. A PMOD SLEEP condition transi-
tions back to ACTIVE mode when DQ is pulled high.
The second option for entering SLEEP is an undervolt-
age condition. When the UVEN bit is set, the DS2788
transitions to SLEEP if the voltage on VIN is less than
VSLEEP (2.45V nominal) and DQ is stable at a low or
high logic level for tSLEEP. An undervoltage condition
occurs when a pack is fully discharged, where loading
on the battery should be minimized. UVEN SLEEP
relieves the battery of the IACTIVE load until communi-
cation on DQ resumes.
Note: PMOD and UVEN SLEEP features must be dis-
abled when a battery is charged on an external charger
that does not connect to the DQ pin. PMOD SLEEP can
be used if the charger pulls DQ high. UVEN SLEEP can
be used if the charger toggles DQ. The DS2788
remains in SLEEP and therefore does not measure or
accumulate current when a battery is charged on a
charger that fails to properly drive DQ.
Initiating Communication
in Sleep
When beginning communication with a DS2788 in
PMOD SLEEP, DQ must be pulled up first and then a
1-Wire reset pulse must be issued by the master. In
UVEN SLEEP, the procedure depends on the state of
DQ when UVEN SLEEP was entered. If DQ was low,
DQ must be pulled up and then a 1-Wire reset pulse
must be issued by the master as with PMOD SLEEP. If
DQ was high when UVEN SLEEP was entered, then the
DS2788 is prepared to receive a 1-Wire reset from the
master. In the first two cases with DQ low during
SLEEP, the DS2788
does not respond
to the first rising
edge of DQ with a presence pulse.
Voltage Measurement
Battery voltage is measured at the VIN input with
respect to VSS over a range of 0 to 4.5V, with a resolu-
tion of 4.88mV. The result is updated every 440ms and
placed in the Voltage (VOLT) register in two’s comple-
ment form. Voltages above the maximum register value
are reported at the maximum value; voltages below the
minimum register value are reported at the minimum
value. Figure 3 shows the format of the Voltage register.
VIN is usually connected to the positive terminal of a
single-cell Li+ battery by a 1kΩresistor. The input
impedance is sufficiently large (15MΩ) to be connected
to a high-impedance voltage-divider in order to support
multiple-cell applications. The pack voltage should be
divided by the number of series cells to present a sin-
gle-cell average voltage to the VIN input. In Figure 2,
the value of R can be up to 1MΩwithout incurring sig-
nificant error due to input loading. The VMA pin is dri-
ven high tPRE before the voltage conversion begins.
This allows an external switching element to enable the
voltage-divider, and allows settling to occur before the
start of the conversion.

Temperature Measurement
The DS2788 uses an integrated temperature sensor to
measure battery temperature with a resolution of
0.125°C. Temperature measurements are updated
every 440ms and placed in the Temperature (TEMP)
register in two’s complement form. Figure 4 shows the
format of the Temperature register.
Current Measurement
In the ACTIVE mode of operation, the DS2788 continu-
ally measures the current flow into and out of the bat-
tery by measuring the voltage drop across a low-value
current-sense resistor, RSNS. The voltage-sense range
between SNS and VSS is ±51.2mV. The input linearly
converts peak signal amplitudes up to 102.4mV as long
as the continuous signal level (average over the con-
version cycle period) does not exceed ±51.2mV. The
ADC samples the input differentially at 18.6kHz and
updates the Current (CURRENT) register at the com-
pletion of each conversion cycle.
The Current register is updated every 3.515s with the
current conversion result in two’s complement form.
Charge currents above the maximum register value are
reported at the maximum value (7FFFh = +51.2mV).
Discharge currents below the minimum register value
are reported at the minimum value (8000h = -51.2mV).

Average Current Measurement
The Average Current (IAVG) register reports an aver-
age current level over the preceding 28 seconds. The
register value is updated every 28s in two’s comple-
ment form, and is the average of the eight preceding
Current register updates. Figure 6 shows the format of
the Average Current register. Charge currents above
the maximum register value are reported at the maxi-
mum value (7FFFh = +51.2mV). Discharge currents
below the minimum register value are reported at the
minimum value (8000h = -51.2mV).
Current Offset Correction
Every 1024th conversion the ADC measures its input
offset to facilitate offset correction. Offset correction
occurs approximately once per hour. The resulting cor-
rection factor is applied to the subsequent 1023 mea-
surements. During the offset correction conversion, the
ADC does not measure the sense resistor signal. A
maximum error of 1/1024 in the Accumulated Current
(ACR) register is possible; however, to reduce the
error, the current measurement made just prior to the
offset conversion is displayed in the Current register
and is substituted for the dropped current measure-
ment in the current accumulation process. This results
in an accumulated current error due to offset correction
of less than 1/1024.
Current Offset Bias
The Current Offset Bias (COB) register allows a pro-
grammable offset value to be added to raw current mea-
surements. The result of the raw current measurement
plus COB is displayed as the current measurement
result in the Current register, and is used for current
accumulation. COB can be used to correct for a static
offset error, or can be used to intentionally skew the cur-
rent results and therefore the current accumulation.
COB allows read and write access. Whenever the COB
is written, the new value is applied to all subsequent
current measurements. COB can be programmed in
1.56µV steps to any value between +198.1µV and -
199.7µV. The COB value is stored as a two’s comple-
ment value in nonvolatile memory.
Current Measurement
Calibration
The DS2788’s current measurement gain can be
adjusted through the RSGAIN register, which is factory-
calibrated to meet the data sheet specified accuracy.
RSGAIN is user accessible and can be reprogrammed
after module or pack manufacture to improve the cur-
rent measurement accuracy. Adjusting RSGAIN can
correct for variation in an external sense resistor’s nom-
inal value, and allows the use of low-cost, nonprecision

current-sense resistors. RSGAIN is an 11-bit value
stored in 2 bytes of the parameter EEPROM memory
block. The RSGAIN value adjusts the gain from 0 to
1.999 in steps of 0.001 (precisely 2-10). The user must
program RSGAIN cautiously to ensure accurate current
measurement. When shipped from the factory, the gain
calibration value is stored in two separate locations in
the parameter EEPROM block: RSGAIN, which is repro-
grammable, and FRSGAIN, which is read only. RSGAIN
determines the gain used in the current measurement.
The read-only FRSGAIN (address B0h and B1h) is pro-
vided to preserve the factory value only and is not used
in the current measurement.
Sense Resistor Temperature
Compensation
The DS2788 is capable of temperature compensating
the current-sense resistor to correct for variation in a
sense resistor’s value over temperature. The DS2788 is
factory programmed with the sense resistor temperature
coefficient, RSTC, set to zero, which turns off the tem-
perature compensation function. RSTC is user accessi-
ble and can be reprogrammed after module or pack
manufacture to improve the current accuracy when
using a high temperature coefficient current-sense
resistor. RSTC is an 8-bit value stored in the parameter
EEPROM memory block. The RSTC value sets the tem-
perature coefficient from 0 to +7782ppm/°C in steps of
30.5ppm/°C. The user must program RSTC cautiously to
ensure accurate current measurement.
Temperature compensation adjustments are made
when the Temperature register crosses 0.5°C bound-
aries. The temperature compensation is most effective
with the resistor placed as close as possible to the VSS
terminal to optimize thermal coupling of the resistor to
the on-chip temperature sensor. If the current shunt is
constructed with a copper PCB trace, run the trace
under the DS2788 package if possible.
Current Accumulation
Current measurements are internally summed, or accu-
mulated, at the completion of each conversion period
with the results displayed in the ACR. The accuracy of
the ACR is dependent on both the current measure-
ment and the conversion time base. The ACR has a
range of 0 to 409.6mVh with an LSb (least significant
bit) of 6.25µVh. Additional read-only registers (ACRL)
hold fractional results of each accumulation to avoid
truncation errors. Accumulation of charge current
above the maximum register value is reported at the
maximum register value (7FFFh); conversely, accumu-
lation of discharge current below the minimum register
value is reported at the minimum value (8000h).
Read and write access is allowed to the ACR. The ACR
must be written MSB (most significant byte) first, then
LSB (least significant byte). The write must be complet-
ed within 3.515s (one ACR register update period). A
write to the ACR forces the ADC to perform an offset
correction conversion and update the internal offset
correction factor. Current measurement and accumula-
tion begins with the second conversion following a write
to the ACR. Writing the ACR clears the fractional values
in ACRL. ACR’s format is shown in Figure 8, and
ACRL’s format is shown in Figure 9.
To preserve the ACR value in case of power loss, the
ACR value is backed up to EEPROM. The ACR value is
recovered from EEPROM on power-up. See the memo-
ry map in Table 3 for specific address location and
backup frequency.

Current Blanking
The current blanking feature modifies the current mea-
surement result prior to being accumulated in the ACR.
Current blanking occurs conditionally when a current
measurement (raw current + COB) falls in one of two
defined ranges. The first range prevents charge cur-
rents less than 100µV from being accumulated. The
second range prevents discharge currents less than
25µV in magnitude from being accumulated. Charge-
current blanking is always performed, however, dis-
charge-current blanking must be enabled by setting
the NBEN bit in the Control register. See the register
description for additional information.
Accumulation Bias
The Accumulation Bias (AB) register allows an arbitrary
bias to be introduced into the current-accumulation
process. The AB can be used to account for currents
that do not flow through the sense resistor, estimate
currents too small to measure, estimate battery self-dis-
charge, or correct for static offset of the individual
DS2788 device. The AB register allows a user-pro-
grammed positive or negative constant bias to be
included in the current accumulation process. The
user-programmed two’s complement value, with bit
weighting the same as the Current register, is added to
the ACR once per current conversion cycle. The AB
value is loaded on power-up from EEPROM memory.
Figure 10 shows the format of the AB register.

Capacity Estimation Algorithm
Remaining capacity estimation uses real-time mea-
sured values and stored parameters describing the cell
characteristics and application operating limits. Figure
11 describes the algorithm inputs and outputs.
Modeling Cell Stack
Characteristics
To achieve reasonable accuracy in estimating remain-
ing capacity, the cell stack performance characteristics
over temperature, load current, and charge termination
point must be considered. Since the behavior of Li+
cells is nonlinear, these characteristics must be includ-
ed in the capacity estimation to achieve an acceptable
level of accuracy in the capacity estimation. The
FuelPack™ method used in the DS2788 is described in
general in Application Note 131:
Lithium-Ion Cell Fuel
Gauging with Maxim Battery Monitor ICs
. To facilitate
efficient implementation in hardware, a modified ver-
sion of the method outlined in AN131 is used to store
cell characteristics in the DS2788. Full and empty
points are retrieved in a lookup process that retraces
piece-wise linear model consisting of three curves

FuelPack is a trademark of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
named full, active empty, and standby empty. Each
model curve is constructed with five line segments,
numbered 1 through 5. Above +50°C, the segment 5
model curves extend infinitely with zero slope, approxi-
mating the nearly flat change in capacity of Li+ cells at
temperatures above +50°C. Segment 4 of each model
curves originates at +50°C on its upper end and
extends downward in temperature to +25°C. Segment
3 joins with segment 2, which in turn joins with segment
1. Segment 1 of each model curve extends from the
junction with segment 2 to infinitely colder tempera-
tures. Segment slopes are stored as µVh ppm change
per °C. The two junctions or breakpoints that join the
segments (labeled TBP12 and TBP23 in Figure 12) are
programmable in 1°C increments from -128°C to
+25°C. They are stored in two’s complement format,
TBP23 at 7Ch, and TBP12 at 7Dh. The slope or deriva-
tive for segments 1, 2, 3, and 4 are also programmable.
Full: The full curve defines how the full point of a given
cell stack depends on temperature for a given charge
termination. The charge termination method used in the
application is used to determine the table values. The
DS2788 reconstructs the full line from cell characteristic
table values to determine the full capacity of the battery
at each temperature. Reconstruction occurs in one-
degree temperature increments. Full values are stored
as ppm change per °C. For example, if a cell had a
nominal capacity of 1214mAh at +50°C, a full value of
1199mAh at +25°C, and 1182mAh at 0°C (TBP23), the
slope for segment 3 would be:
((1199mAh - 1182mAh) / (1214mAh / 1M)) /
(25°C - 0°C) = 560ppm/°C
1 LSB of the slope registers equals 61ppm so the full
segment 3 slope register (location 0x6Dh) would be
programmed with a value of 0x09h. Each Slope register
has a dynamic range 0ppm to 15555ppm.

Active Empty: The active empty curve defines the tem-
perature variation in the empty point of the discharge
profile based on a high-level load current (one that is
sustained during a high-power operating mode) and
the minimum voltage required for system operation.
This load current is programmed as the active empty
current (IAE), and should be a 3.5s average value to
correspond to values read from the Current register
and the specified minimum voltage, or active empty
voltage (VAE) should be a 250ms average to corre-
spond to values read from the Voltage register. The
DS2788 reconstructs the active empty line from cell
characteristic table values to determine the active
empty capacity of the battery at each temperature.
Reconstruction occurs in one-degree temperature
increments. Active empty segment slopes are stored
the same as described for the full segments.
Standby Empty: The standby empty curve defines the
temperature variation in the empty point in the dis-
charge defined by the application standby current and
the minimum voltage required for standby operation.
Standby empty represents the point that the battery
can no longer support a subset of the full application
operation, such as memory data retention or organizer
functions on a wireless handset. Standby empty seg-
ment slopes are stored the same as described for the
full segments.
The standby load current and voltage are used for
determining the cell characteristics but are not pro-
grammed into the DS2788. The DS2788 reconstructs
the standby empty line from cell characteristic table
values to determine the standby empty capacity of the
battery at each temperature. Reconstruction occurs in
one-degree temperature increments.
Cell Stack Model Construction
The model is constructed with all points normalized to
the fully charged state at +50°C. The cell parameter
EEPROM block stores the initial values, the +50°C full
value in mVh units, and the +50°C active empty value
as a fraction of the +50°C value. Standby empty at
+50°C is by definition zero and therefore no storage is
required. The slopes (derivatives) of the 4 segments for
each model curve are also stored in the cell parameter
EEPROM block along with the break point temperatures
of each segment. Table 1 shows an example of data
stored in this manner.

Application Parameters
In addition to cell model characteristics, several appli-
cation parameters are needed to detect the full and
empty points, as well as calculate results in mAh units.
Sense Resistor Prime (RSNSP)
RSNSP stores the value of the sense resistor for use in
computing the absolute capacity results. The value is
stored as a 1-byte conductance value with units of
mhos. RSNSP supports resistor values of 1Ωto
3.922mΩ. RSNSP is located in the parameter EEPROM
block.
Charge Voltage (VCHG)
VCHG stores the charge voltage threshold used to
detect a fully charged state. The value is stored as a
1-byte voltage with units of 19.52mV and can range
from 0 to 4.978V. VCHG should be set marginally less
than the cell voltage at the end of the charge cycle to
ensure reliable charge termination detection. VCHG is
located in the parameter EEPROM block.
Minimum Charge Current (IMIN)
IMIN stores the charge current threshold used to detect
a fully charged state. The value is stored as a 1-byte
value with units of 50µV and can range from 0 to
12.75mV. Assuming RSNS = 20mΩ, IMIN can be pro-
grammed from 0 to 637.5mA in 2.5mA steps. IMIN
should be set marginally greater than the charge cur-
rent at the end of the charge cycle to ensure reliable
charge termination detection. IMIN is located in the
parameter EEPROM block.
Active Empty Voltage (VAE)
VAE stores the voltage threshold used to detect the
active empty point. The value is stored in 1 byte with
units of 19.52mV and can range from 0 to 4.978V. VAE
is located in the parameter EEPROM block.
Active Empty Current (IAE)
IAE stores the discharge current threshold used to
detect the active empty point. The unsigned value rep-
resents the magnitude of the discharge current and is
stored in 1 byte with units of 200µV and can range from
0 to 51.2mV. Assuming RSNS = 20mΩ, IAE can be pro-
grammed from 0mA to 2550mA in 10mA steps. IAE is
located in the parameter EEPROM block.
Aging Capacity (AC)
AC stores the rated battery capacity used in estimating
the decrease in battery capacity that occurs in normal
use. The value is stored in 2 bytes in the same units as
the ACR (6.25µVh). Setting AC to the manufacturer’s
rated capacity sets the aging rate to approximately
2.4% per 100 cycles of equivalent full capacity dis-
charges. Partial discharge cycles are added to form
equivalent full capacity discharges. The default estima-
tion results in 88% capacity after 500 equivalent cycles.
The estimated aging rate can be adjusted by setting
AC to a different value than the cell manufacturer’s rat-
ing. Setting AC to a lower value, accelerates the esti-
mated aging. Setting AC to a higher value retards the
estimated aging. AC is located in the parameter
EEPROM block.
Age Scalar (AS)
AS adjusts the capacity estimation results downward to
compensate for cell aging. AS is a 1-byte value that
represents values between 49.2% and 100%. The LSB
is weighted at 0.78% (precisely 2-7). A value of 100%
(128 decimal or 80h) represents an unaged battery. A
value of 95% is recommended as the starting AS value
at the time of pack manufacture to allow learning a larg-
er capacity on batteries that have an initial capacity
greater than the nominal capacity programmed in the
cell characteristic table. AS is modified by the cycle-
count-based age estimation introduced above and by
the capacity learn function. The host system has read
and write access to AS, however caution should be
exercised when writing AS to ensure that the cumula-
tive aging estimate is not overwritten with an incorrect
value. Typically, it is not necessary for the host to write
AS because the DS2788 automatically saves AS to
EEPROM on a periodic basis. (See the
Memory
section
for details.) The EEPROM-stored value of AS is recalled
on power-up.
Capacity Estimation Utility
Functions
Aging Estimation
As previously discussed, the AS register value is
adjusted occasionally based on cumulative discharge.
As the ACR register decrements during each discharge
cycle, an internal counter is incremented until equal to
32 times AC. AS is then decremented by one, resulting
in a decrease in the scaled full battery capacity of
0.78%. See the AC register description for recommen-
dations on customizing the age estimation rate.
Learn Function
Since Li+ cells exhibit charge efficiencies near unity, the
charge delivered to a Li+ cell from a known empty point
to a known full point is a dependable measure of the
cell capacity. A continuous charge from empty to full
results in a “learn cycle.” First, the active empty point
must be detected. The learn flag (LEARNF) is set at this
point. Second, once charging starts, the charge must

DS2788
continue uninterrupted until the battery is charged to
full. Upon detecting full, LEARNF is cleared, the charge-
to-full (CHGTF) flag is set, and the age scalar (AS) is
adjusted according to the learned capacity of the cell.
ACR Housekeeping
The ACR register value is adjusted occasionally to
maintain the coulomb count within the model curve
boundaries. When the battery is charged to full (CHGTF
set), the ACR is set equal to the age-scaled full lookup
value at the present temperature. If a learn cycle is in
progress, correction of the ACR value occurs after the
age scalar (AS) is updated.
When an empty condition is detected (AEF or LEARNF
set), the ACR adjustment is conditional. If AEF is set
and LEARNF is not, the active empty point was not
detected and the battery is likely below the active
empty capacity of the model. The ACR is set to the
active empty model value only if it is greater than the
active empty model value. If LEARNF is set, the battery
is at the active empty point and the ACR is set to the
active empty model value.
Full Detect
Full detection occurs when the voltage (VOLT) readings
remain continuously above the VCHG threshold for the
period between two average current (IAVG) readings,
where both IAVG readings are below IMIN. The two
consecutive IAVG readings must also be positive and
nonzero. This ensures that removing the battery from
the charger does not result in a false detection of full.
Full detect sets the charge-to-full (CHGTF) bit in the
Status (STATUS) register.
Active Empty Point Detect
Active empty point detection occurs when the Voltage
register drops below the VAE threshold and the two
previous current readings are above IAE. This captures
the event of the battery reaching the active empty
point. Note that the two previous current readings must
be negative and greater in magnitude than IAE, that is,
a larger discharge current than specified by the IAE
threshold. Qualifying the voltage level with the dis-
charge rate ensures that the active empty point is not
detected at loads much lighter than those used to con-
struct the model. Also, active empty must not be
detected when a deep discharge at a very light load is
followed by a load greater than IAE. Either case would
cause a learn cycle on the following charge-to-full to
include part of the standby capacity in the measure-
ment of the active capacity. Active empty detection
sets the learn flag bit (LEARNF) in STATUS.
Result Registers
The DS2788 processes measurement and cell charac-
teristics on a 3.5s interval and yields seven result regis-
ters. The result registers are sufficient for direct display
to the user in most applications. The host system can
produce customized values for system use or user dis-
play by combining measurement, result, and user
EEPROM values.
FULL(T): The full capacity of the battery at the present
temperature is reported normalized to the +50°C full
value. This 15-bit value reflects the cell model full value
at the given temperature. FULL(T) reports values
between 100% and 50% with a resolution of 61ppm
(precisely 2-14). Though the register format permits val-
ues greater than 100%, the register value is clamped to
a maximum value of 100%.
Active Empty, AE(T): The active empty capacity of the
battery at the present temperature is reported normal-
ized to the +50°C full value. This 13-bit value reflects
the cell model active empty at the given temperature.
AE(T) reports values between 0% and 49.8% with a
resolution of 61ppm (precisely 2-14).
Standby Empty, SE(T): The standby empty capacity of
the battery at the present temperature is reported nor-
malized to the +50°C full value. This 13-bit value
reflects the cell model standby empty value at the cur-
rent temperature. SE(T) reports values between 0% and
49.8% with a resolution of 61ppm (precisely 2-14).
Remaining Active Absolute Capacity, RAAC [mAh]:
RAAC reports the capacity available under the current
temperature conditions at the active empty discharge
rate (IAE) to the active empty point in absolute units of
milliamp/hours (mAh). RAAC is 16 bits. See Figure 14.
Remaining Standby Absolute Capacity, RSAC [mAh]:
RSAC reports the capacity available under the current
temperature conditions at the standby empty discharge
rate (ISE) to the standby empty point capacity in
absolute units of mAh. RSAC is 16 bits. See Figure 15.
Remaining Active Relative Capacity, RARC [%]:
RARC reports the capacity available under the current
temperature conditions at the active empty discharge
rate (IAE) to the active empty point in relative units of
percent. RARC is 8 bits. See Figure 16.
Remaining Standby Relative Capacity, RSRC [%]:
RSRC reports the capacity available under the current
temperature conditions at the standby empty discharge
rate (ISE) to the standby empty point capacity in rela-
tive units of percent. RSRC is 8 bits. See Figure 17.

Fuel-Gauge Display
The DS2788 provides five open-drain drivers capable
of sinking 30mA. These can be used to directly drive
either 4 or 5 LEDs to display Remaining Active Relative
Pack Capacity (RARC). The LEDs are enabled when
the PIO is configured as an input and the PIO pin rec-
ognizes a rising edge. The display lights for 4s and
then is disabled regardless of the state of the PIO pin.
Further presses or releases of the button connected to
the PIO pin after the 100ms debounce delay causes
the display to be enabled (the display does not light
continuously if the button is held down).
Table 2 summarizes how the LEDs are enabled. B sig-
nifies that the LED is blinking at a 50% duty cycle, 0.5s
on, 0.5s off, to be repeated for the display time of 4s. L
signifies the pin is pulled low, and the LED is lit. X signi-
fies the pin is high impedance, and the LED is unlit.

Memory
The DS2788 has a 256-byte linear memory space with
registers for instrumentation, status, and control, as well
as EEPROM memory blocks to store parameters and
user information. Byte addresses designated as
“Reserved” return undefined data when read. Reserved
bytes should not be written. Several byte registers are
paired into two-byte registers in order to store 16-bit val-
ues. The MSB of the 16-bit value is located at a even
address and the LSB is located at the next address
(odd) byte. When the MSB of a two-byte register is read,
the MSB and LSB are latched simultaneously and held
for the duration of the Read-Data command to prevent
updates to the LSB during the read. This ensures syn-
chronization between the two register bytes. For consis-
tent results, always read the MSB and the LSB of a
two-byte register during the same Read Data command
sequence.
EEPROM memory consists of the NV EEPROM cells over-
laid with volatile shadow RAM. The Read Data and Write
Data commands allow the 1-Wire interface to directly
accesses only the shadow RAM. The Copy Data and
Recall Data function commands transfer data between
the shadow RAM and the EEPROM cells. To modify the
data stored in the EEPROM cells, data must be written to
the shadow RAM and then copied to the EEPROM. To
verify the data stored in the EEPROM cells, the EEPROM
data must be recalled to the shadow RAM and then read
from the shadow RAM.
User EEPROM
A 16-byte user EEPROM memory (block 0, addresses
20h–2Fh) provides NV memory that is uncommitted to
other DS2788 functions. Accessing the user EEPROM
block does not affect the operation of the DS2788. User
EEPROM is lockable, and once locked, write access is
not allowed. The battery pack or host system manufac-
turer can program lot codes, date codes, and other
manufacturing, warranty, or diagnostic information and
then lock it to safeguard the data. User EEPROM can
also store parameters for charging to support different
size batteries in a host device as well as auxiliary model
data such as time to full charge estimation parameters.
Parameter EEPROM
Model data for the cells and application operating
parameters are stored in the parameter EEPROM mem-
ory (block 1, addresses 60h–7Fh). The ACR (MSB and
LSB) and AS registers are automatically saved to EEP-
ROM when the RARC result crosses 4% boundaries.
This allows the DS2788 to be located outside the pro-
tection FETs. In this manner, if a protection device is
triggered, the DS2788 cannot lose more that 4% of
charge or discharge data.

1-Wire Bus System
The 1-Wire bus is a system that has a single bus mas-
ter and one or more slaves. A multidrop bus is a 1-Wire
bus with multiple slaves. A single-drop bus has only
one slave device. In all instances, the DS2788 is a
slave device. The bus master is typically a micro-
processor in the host system. The discussion of this
bus system consists of four topics: 64-bit net address,
hardware configuration, transaction sequence, and
1-Wire signaling.
64-Bit Net Address
Each DS2788 has a unique, factory-programmed
1-Wire net address that is 64 bits in length. The first
eight bits are the 1-Wire family code (32h for DS2788).
The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last
eight bits are a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the
first 56 bits (see Figure 22). The 64-bit net address and
the 1-Wire I/O circuitry built into the device enable the
DS2788 to communicate through the 1-Wire protocol
detailed in the
1-Wire Bus System
section.
CRC Generation
The DS2788 has an 8-bit CRC stored in the MSB of its
1-Wire net address. To ensure error-free transmission
of the address, the host system can compute a CRC
value from the first 56 bits of the address and compare
it to the CRC from the DS2788. The host system is
responsible for verifying the CRC value and taking
action as a result. The DS2788 does not compare CRC
values and does not prevent a command sequence
from proceeding as a result of a CRC mismatch. Proper
use of the CRC can result in a communication channel
with a very high level of integrity.
The CRC can be generated by the host using a circuit
consisting of a shift register and XOR gates as shown
in Figure 23, or it can be generated in software.
Additional information about the Maxim 1-Wire CRC is
available in Application Note 27:
Understanding and
Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks with Maxim iButton
Products
.
In the circuit in Figure 23, the shift register bits are ini-
tialized to 0. Then, starting with the LSb of the family
code, one bit at a time is shifted in. After the 8th bit of
the family code has been entered, then the serial num-
ber is entered. After the 48th bit of the serial number
has been entered, the shift register contains the CRC
value.
Hardware Configuration
Because the 1-Wire bus has only a single line, it is
important that each device on the bus be able to drive
it at the appropriate time. To facilitate this, each device
attached to the 1-Wire bus must connect to the bus
with open-drain or three-state output drivers. The
DS2788 uses an open-drain output driver as part of the
bidirectional interface circuitry shown in Figure 24. If a
bidirectional pin is not available on the bus master,
separate output and input pins can be connected
together.

______________________________________________________________________________________ 25
The 1-Wire bus must have a pullup resistor at the bus-
master end of the bus. For short line lengths, the value
of this resistor should be approximately 5kΩ. The idle
state for the 1-Wire bus is high. If, for any reason, a bus
transaction must be suspended, the bus must be left in
the idle state to properly resume the transaction later. If
the bus is left low for more than 120µs (16µs for over-
drive speed), slave devices on the bus begin to inter-
pret the low period as a reset pulse, effectively
terminating the transaction.
The DS2788 can operate in two communication speed
modes, standard and overdrive. The speed mode is
determined by the input logic level of the OVD pin with
a logic 0 selecting standard speed and a logic 1
selecting overdrive speed. The OVD pin must be at a
stable logic level of 0 or 1 before initializing a transac-
tion with a reset pulse. All 1-Wire devices on a multin-
ode bus must operate at the same communication
speed for proper operation. 1-Wire timing for both stan-
dard and overdrive speeds are listed in the
Electrical
Characteristics: 1-Wire Interface
tables.
Transaction Sequence
The protocol for accessing the DS2788 through the
1-Wire port is as follows:
Initialization
Net Address Commands
Function Command
Transaction/Data
The sections that follow describe each of these steps in
detail.
All transactions of the 1-Wire bus begin with an initial-
ization sequence consisting of a reset pulse transmitted
by the bus master, followed by a presence pulse simul-
taneously transmitted by the DS2788 and any other
slaves on the bus. The presence pulse tells the bus
master that one or more devices are on the bus and
ready to operate. For more details, see the
1-Wire
Signaling
section.
Net Address Commands
Once the bus master has detected the presence of one
or more slaves, it can issue one of the net address
commands described in the following paragraphs. The
name of each ROM command is followed by the 8-bit
op code for that command in square brackets.
Figure 25 presents a transaction flowchart of the net
address commands.
Read Net Address [33h or 39h]. This command allows
the bus master to read the DS2788’s 1-Wire net
address. This command can only be used if there is a
single slave on the bus. If more than one slave is pre-
sent, a data collision occurs when all slaves try to trans-
mit at the same time (open drain produces a
wired-AND result). The RNAOP bit in the Status register
selects the op code for this command, with RNAOP = 0
indicating 33h and RNAOP = 1 indicating 39h.

Match Net Address [55h]. This command allows the
bus master to specifically address one DS2788 on the
1-Wire bus. Only the addressed DS2788 responds to
any subsequent function command. All other slave
devices ignore the function command and wait for a
reset pulse. This command can be used with one or
more slave devices on the bus.
Skip Net Address [CCh]. This command saves time
when there is only one DS2788 on the bus by allowing
the bus master to issue a function command without
specifying the address of the slave. If more than one
slave device is present on the bus, a subsequent func-
tion command can cause a data collision when all
slaves transmit data at the same time.
Search Net Address [F0h]. This command allows the
bus master to use a process of elimination to identify
the 1-Wire net addresses of all slave devices on the
bus. The search process involves the repetition of a
simple three-step routine: read a bit, read the comple-
ment of the bit, then write the desired value of that bit.
The bus master performs this simple three-step routine
on each bit location of the net address. After one com-
plete pass through all 64 bits, the bus master knows
the address of one device. The remaining devices can
then be identified on additional iterations of the
process. See Chapter 5 of the
Book of iButton
Standards
for a comprehensive discussion of a net
address search, including an actual example
(www.maxim-ic.com/ibuttonbook).
Resume [A5h]. This command increases data through-
put in multidrop environments where the DS2788 needs
to be accessed several times. Resume is similar to the
Skip Net Address command in that the 64-bit net
address does not have to be transmitted each time the
DS2788 is accessed. After successfully executing a
Match Net Address command or Search Net Address
command, an internal flag is set in the DS2788. When
the flag is set, the DS2788 can be repeatedly accessed
through the Resume command function. Accessing
another device on the bus clears the flag, thus prevent-
ing two or more devices from simultaneously respond-
ing to the Resume command function.
Function Commands
After successfully completing one of the net address
commands, the bus master can access the features of
the DS2788 with any of the function commands
described in the following paragraphs. The name of
each function is followed by the 8-bit op code for that
command in square brackets. Table 5 summarizes the
function commands.
Read Data [69h, XX]. This command reads data from
the DS2788 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of
the data in address XX is available to be read immedi-
ately after the MSb of the address has been entered.
Because the address is automatically incremented after
the MSb of each byte is received, the LSb of the data at
address XX + 1 is available to be read immediately
after the MSb of the data at address XX. If the bus mas-
ter continues to read beyond address FFh, data is read
starting at memory address 00 and the address is auto-
matically incremented until a reset pulse occurs.
Addresses labeled “Reserved” in the memory map
contain undefined data values. The Read Data com-
mand can be terminated by the bus master with a reset
pulse at any bit boundary. Reads from EEPROM block
addresses return the data in the shadow RAM. A Recall
Data command is required to transfer data from the
EEPROM to the shadow. See the
Memory
section for
more details.
Write Data [6Ch, XX]. This command writes data to the
DS2788 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of the
data to be stored at address XX can be written immedi-
ately after the MSb of address has been entered.
Because the address is automatically incremented after
the MSb of each byte is written, the LSb to be stored at
address XX + 1 can be written immediately after the
MSb to be stored at address XX. If the bus master con-
tinues to write beyond address FFh, the data starting at
address 00 is overwritten. Writes to read-only address-
es, reserved addresses, and locked EEPROM blocks
are ignored. Incomplete bytes are not written. Writes to
unlocked EEPROM block addresses modify the shad-
ow RAM. A Copy Data command is required to transfer
data from the shadow to the EEPROM. See the
Memory
section for more details.
DS2788
Stand-Alone Fuel-Gauge IC with

______________________________________________________________________________________ 27
Copy Data [48h, XX]. This command copies the con-
tents of the EEPROM shadow RAM to EEPROM cells for
the EEPROM block containing address XX. Copy data
commands that address locked blocks are ignored.
While the copy data command is executing, the EEC bit
in the EEPROM register is set to 1 and writes to
EEPROM addresses are ignored. Reads and writes to
non-EEPROM addresses can still occur while the copy
is in progress. The copy data command takes tEEC time
to execute, starting on the next falling edge after the
address is transmitted.
Recall Data [B8h, XX]. This command recalls the con-
tents of the EEPROM cells to the EEPROM shadow
memory for the EEPROM block containing address XX.
Lock [6Ah, XX]. This command locks (write protects)
the block of EEPROM memory containing memory
address XX. The lock bit in the EEPROM register must
be set to 1 before the lock command is executed. To
help prevent unintentional locks, one must issue the
lock command immediately after setting the lock bit
(EEPROM register, address 1Fh, bit 06) to a 1. If the
lock bit is 0 or if setting the lock bit to 1 does not imme-
diately precede the lock command, the lock command
has no effect. The lock command is permanent; a
locked block can never be written again.

1-Wire Signaling
The 1-Wire bus requires strict signaling protocols to
ensure data integrity. The four protocols used by the
DS2788 are as follows: the initialization sequence (reset
pulse followed by presence pulse), write-0, write-1, and
read data. All these types of signaling except the pres-
ence pulse are initiated by the bus master.
Figure 26 shows the initialization sequence required to
begin any communication with the DS2788. A presence
pulse following a reset pulse indicates that the DS2788
is ready to accept a net address command. The bus
master transmits (Tx) a reset pulse for tRSTL. The bus
master then releases the line and goes into receive
mode (Rx). The 1-Wire bus line is then pulled high by
the pullup resistor. After detecting the rising edge on
the DQ pin, the DS2788 waits for tPDH and then trans-
mits the presence pulse for tPDL.
Write-Time Slots
A write-time slot is initiated when the bus master pulls
the 1-Wire bus from a logic-high (inactive) level to a
logic-low level. There are two types of write-time slots:
write-1 and write-0. All write-time slots must be tSLOT in
duration with a 1µs minimum recovery time, tREC,
between cycles. The DS2788 samples the 1-Wire bus
line between 15µs and 60µs (between 2µs and 6µs for
overdrive speed) after the line falls. If the line is high
when sampled, a write-1 occurs. If the line is low when
sampled, a write-0 occurs (see Figure 27). For the bus
master to generate a write-1 time slot, the bus line must
be pulled low and then released, allowing the line to be
pulled high within 15µs (2µs for overdrive speed) after
the start of the write-time slot. For the host to generate a
write-0 time slot, the bus line must be pulled low and
held low for the duration of the write-time slot.
Read-Time Slots
A read-time slot is initiated when the bus master pulls
the 1-Wire bus line from a logic-high level to a logic-low
level. The bus master must keep the bus line low for at
least 1µs and then release it to allow the DS2788 to
present valid data. The bus master can then sample
the data tRDV from the start of the read-time slot. By the
end of the read-time slot, the DS2788 releases the bus
line and allows it to be pulled high by the external
pullup resistor. All read-time slots must be tSLOT in
duration with a 1µs minimum recovery time, tREC,
between cycles. See Figure 27 for more information.
