GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS2756 high-precision battery fuel gauge is a
data-acquisition and information-storage device
tailored for cost-sensitive and space-constrained 1-
cell Li+/polymer battery-pack applications. The
DS2756 provides the key hardware components
required to accurately estimate remaining capacity by
integrating low-power, precision measurements of
temperature, voltage, current, and current
accumulation, as well as nonvolatile (NV) data
storage, into the small footprint of a 3.0mm x 4.4mm
8-pin TSSOP package.
Through its 1-Wire interface, the DS2756 gives the
host system read/write access to status and control
registers, instrumentation registers, and general-
purpose data storage. Each device has a unique
factory-programmed 64-bit net address that allows it
to be individually addressed by the host system,
supporting multibattery operation.

DS2756: High-Accuracy Battery Fuel Gauge with Programmable Suspend Mode
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The DS2756 performs temperature, voltage, and current measurement to a resolution sufficient to support process-
monitoring applications such as battery charge control and remaining capacity estimation. Temperature is
measured using an on-chip sensor, eliminating the need for a separate thermistor. Bidirectional current
measurement supporting current accumulation (coulomb counting) is accomplished using an external current
sense resistor.
The host system can configure the DS2756 to signal critical conditions to reduce polling overhead. The alarm
interrupt fires when programmable upper and lower thresholds of temperature or coulomb count are crossed. The
user can select either the DQ pin or PIO pin as the alarm interrupt signal.
PIO can also function as a Suspend mode interrupt output to reduce idle current drain within a battery pack. In
Suspend mode, the DS2756 cycles between Active and Suspend power modes to reduce DS2756 supply current
and the PIO pin can be used to wake up a microcontroller or other pack circuitry if current flowing through the pack
exceeds programmable charge and discharge thresholds (See Figure 12). The interval between current
measurements can be programmed to achieve an average current as low as 10A (See Table 3).
As a general purpose I/O pin, PIO allows the host system to sense and control other electronics in the pack,
including switches, vibration motors, speakers, and LEDs.
Three types of memory are provided on the DS2756 for battery information storage: EEPROM, lockable EEPROM,
and SRAM. EEPROM memory saves important battery data in true NV memory that is unaffected by severe battery
depletion, accidental shorts, or ESD events. Lockable EEPROM becomes ROM when locked to provide additional
security for unchanging battery data. SRAM provides inexpensive storage for temporary data.

POWER MODES
The DS2756 has three power modes: Active, Suspend and Sleep. While in Active mode, the DS2756 continuously
measures voltage, temperature, current, accumulated current, and monitors for an under voltage condition. In
Suspend and Sleep modes, the DS2756 ceases these activities. During Suspend, the DQ input buffer is active and
a low power oscillator runs. In Sleep mode, only the DQ input buffer is active.
The DS2756 enters Suspend mode when PMOD = 1 AND all of the following conditions are true:
the DQ line is low for longer than tSLEEP
the Programmable Interval Enable (PIE) bits in the Status Register are set to a non-zero value
(PIE =01b, 10b or 11b)
Current register value is less than the Charge Suspend Threshold AND greater than the Discharge
Suspend Threshold
Periodically, when a Suspend Period time out occurs, the DS2756 temporarily cycles from Suspend to Active mode
in order to measure current. When the current measurement completes, the result is evaluated against the user
programmed Charge and Discharge Suspend Thresholds. If the Current measurement result does not cross either
threshold, the DS2756 transitions back to Suspend. If the measurement shows that more current is flowing than the
level of either threshold, the DS2756 signals a suspend interrupt by driving the PIO pin low, then remains in Active
mode continuing normal Active mode operation.
The DS2756 enters Sleep mode when PMOD = 1 AND either of the following conditions are true:
the DQ line is low for longer than tSLEEP (minimum 2.1s) AND PIE = 00b
the UVEN bit in the Status Register is set to 1 AND the voltage on VIN drops below undervoltage threshold
VUV for tUVD (VIN measurement and comparison to VUV, and tUVD timeout occur in normal Active mode and
temporary Active mode cycle from Suspend mode)
The DS2756 returns to Active mode from Suspend or Sleep mode whenever the DQ line is pulled from a low-to-
high state.
The factory default for the DS2756 is UVEN = 0, PMOD = 0 and PIE = 00b. The DS2756 defaults to Active mode
when power is first applied.
CURRENT MEASUREMENT AND ACCUMULATION
The DS2756 current measurement system is designed to provide timely data on charge and discharge current at a
moderate resolution level while simultaneously accumulating high resolution average data to support accurate
coulomb counting. Current is measured with an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) by sampling the voltage drop
across a series sense resistor, RSNS, connected between SNS and VSS. Individual current samples are taken every
687s (1456-1 Hz). Multiple samples are averaged to report Current and Average Current values, and accumulated
for coulomb counting.
Current Measurement
The voltage signal developed across the sense resistor (between SNS and VSS) is differentially sampled by the
ADC inputs through internal 10k resistors connected between VSSand IS1, and SNS and IS2. Isolating the ADC
inputs (IS1 and IS2 pins) from the sense resistor with 10k facilitates the use of an RC filter by adding a single
external capacitor. The RC filter extends the input range beyond ±64mV in pulse load or pulse charge applications.
The ADC accurately measures large peak signals as long as the differential signal level at IS1 and IS2 does not
exceed ±64mV.
The Current register operates in two modes, normal and snapshot. In normal mode, the Current register reports the
average of 128 individual current samples every 88ms. The reported value represents the average current during
the 88ms measurement period. The Average Current register reports the average of 4096 current samples and is
updated every 2.8s.
In snapshot mode, the Current register holds the current measured immediately following the snapshot trigger.
Current measurements resume immediately after the snapshot value is obtained, however, the SNAP bit must be
cleared to re-enable normal mode current reporting in the Current register. The Average Current register continues
to be updated while the SNAP bit is set. Current accumulation also continues while SNAP is set. Although a small
DS2756: High-Accuracy Battery Fuel Gauge with Programmable Suspend Mode
error is introduced into both the Average Current and Accumulated Current values by the current sample timing
discontinuity introduced with each trigger of the Snapshot mode, use of Snapshot once every 5s does not produce
a significant error.
The following register formats specify the update interval and units for the Current and Average Current registers.
Values are posted in two’s complement format. Positive values represent charge currents (VIS1 > VIS2) and negative
values represent discharge currents (VIS2 > VIS1). Positive currents above the maximum register value are reported
at the maximum value, 0x7FFF. Negative currents below the minimum register value are reported at the minimum
value, 0x8000.

CURRENT OFFSET CORRECTION
Continuous offset cancellation is performed automatically to correct for offsets in the current measurement system.
Individual values reported by the Current register have a maximum offset of ±0.5 LSb’s (±7.8125V). Individual
values reported in the Average Current register have a maximum offset of ±2 LSb’s (±7.8125V).
CURRENT ACCUMULATION
The DS2756 measures current for coulomb counting purposes, with an accuracy of ±2% (±3.9V) over a range of
±64mV. Using a 20m sense resistor, current accumulation is performed over a range of ±3.2A while measuring
standby currents with an accuracy of ±195A. Current measurements are internally summed, or accumulated, with
the results displayed in the Accumulated Current Register (ACR). The accuracy of the ACR is dependent on both
the current measurement and the accumulation timebase. The 16-bit ACR has a range of ±204.8mVh with an LSb
of 6.25Vh. Accumulation of charge current above the maximum register value is reported at the maximum value;
conversely, accumulation of discharge current below the minimum register value is reported at the minimum value.
Read and write access is allowed to the ACR. The ACR must be written MSB first then LSB. Whenever the ACR is
written, internal fractional accumulation result bits are cleared. In order to preserve the ACR value in case of power
loss, the ACR MSB and LSB are automatically backed up to EEPROM after incrementing or decrementing by
100Vh (5.0mAh for RSNS = 20m). The ACR value is recovered from EEPROM on power-up or by a Recall Data

command targeting the ACR register address. A write to the ACR results in an automatic copy of the new value to
EEPROM.

OFFSET ACCUMULATION BLANKING
In order to avoid the accumulation of small positive offset errors over long periods, an offset blanking filter is
provided. The blanking filter is enabled by setting the OBEN bit in the Status Register. When OBEN is set, charge
currents (positive Current register values) between 15.625V and 62.5V are not accumulated in the ACR.
Therefore, with RSNS = 0.020 positive currents between 0.78mA and 3.125mA are blanked from accumulation in
the ACR.
ACCUMULATION BIAS
Systematic errors or an application preference can require the application of an arbitrary bias to the current
accumulation process. The Accumulation Bias register is provided to allow a user programmed constant positive or
negative polarity bias to the current accumulation process. The Accumulation Bias value can be used to estimate
battery currents that do not flow through the sense resistor, estimate battery self-discharge, or correct for offset
error in the Current register and ACR register. The user programmed two’s complement value in the Accumulation
Bias register is added to the Current Register once per current sample. The register format supports the
accumulation bias to be applied in 1.95V increments over a ±250V range. When using a 20m sense resistor,
the bias control is 100A over a ±12.5mA range.
The Accumulation Bias register is directly read and write accessible. The user value is made non-volatile with a
Copy Data command targeting EEPROM block 0. The Accumulation Bias register is loaded from EEPROM
memory on power up and a transition from Sleep to Active mode.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
The voltage register operates in two modes, normal and snapshot. In normal mode, the DS2756 continually
measures the voltage between pins VIN and VSS over a 0 to 4.5V range, and the Voltage Register is updated in
two’s-complement format every 3.4ms with a resolution of 4.88mV.
In snapshot mode, the Voltage register holds the voltage measured immediately following the snapshot trigger.
Normal voltage measurements resume after the snapshot value is obtained, however, the SNAP bit must be
cleared to re-enable normal mode reporting of voltage measurement to the Voltage register.
Voltages above the maximum register value are reported as the maximum value.

PROGRAMMABLE I/O
The PIO pin can be configured as a general purpose programmable I/O pin, or as an interrupt output. To use the
PIO pin in the programmable I/O mode described in this section, the PIO interrupt method must not be enabled.
See the Interrupt Signaling section for information on disabling interrupts.
As a programmable I/O pin, PIO provides a digital input or an open drain digital output. Writing a 1 to the PIO bit in
the Special Feature Register disables the output driver. With the PIO pin Hi-Z, it can be used as an input. The logic
level of the PIO pin is reported in the Special Feature Register through the serial interface.
To use the PIO pin as an output, write the desired output value to the PIO bit in the Special Feature Register.
Writing a 0 to the PIO bit enables the PIO output driver, pulling the PIO pin to VSS. As stated above, writing a 1 to
the PIO bit forces the pin to a Hi-Z state. A pullup resistor or current source must be provided to force the pin high.
The PIO pin can be biased several volts above VDD allowing inter-operation with a system voltage which is higher
than the battery voltage. Consult the Absolute Maximum Ratings table when operating the PIO pin significantly
above VDD. The DS2756 turns off the PIO output driver and sets the PIO bit high when in Sleep mode or when DQ
is low for more than tSLEEP, regardless of the state of the PMOD bit.
INTERRUPT SIGNALING
The DS2756 interrupt can be configured as the Suspend interrupt that is signaled on the PIO pin, or as an Alarm
Comparator interrupt (based on Current Accumulator and Temperature Alarm Comparator thresholds) that is
signaled on either the PIO pin or DQ pin.
The Suspend interrupt is used to signal that the current level is greater than the user programmable Charge
Suspend Threshold or less than (more negative) than the Discharge Suspend Threshold. The Suspend interrupt is
enabled by setting one or both of the PIE bits in the Status Register. The PIE bits select one of three intervals for
the Suspend Period, tSUS. If either PIE bit is set, the Alarm Comparator interrupt is disabled. The Suspend interrupt
event is signaled by internally clearing the PIO bit in the SFR in order to force the PIO output from high to low. The
PIO output remains low in Active mode until the PIO bit in the SFR is written to a 1 by the host to disable the PIO
output. Note that the PIO output is disabled in Suspend mode, allowing the PIO pin to be pulled high and ensuring
the DS2756 can always signal a Suspend interrupt with a high to low transition.
The Temperature and ACR Alarm Comparator interrupt is enabled by setting the Interrupt Enable (IE) bit in the
Special Feature Register with PIE cleared. When IE is set and both PIE bits are cleared, an interrupt will be
signaled if the Alarm Comparator thresholds are crossed. A 1-Wire RESET always clears the IE bit. The host must
re-enable interrupts by setting IE in the last transaction on the bus. Note that when either PIE bit is set, the state of
IE has no effect.
The interrupt signal pin for the Alarm Comparator interrupt is selected by setting or clearing the Interrupt Output
Select (IOS) bit in the Status Register. When IOS is set, the DQ pin performs Alarm Comparator interrupt signaling,
when IOS is cleared, the PIO pin performs Alarm Comparator interrupt signaling. Note that when either PIE bit is
set, the state of IOS has no effect.
DQ signals an Alarm Comparator interrupt condition by driving the 1-Wire bus low for tIL. The DS2756 and all other
1-Wire devices present on the bus interpret this signal as a 1-Wire RESET. A Presence Pulse should be expected
from all 1-Wire devices, including the DS2756 following the alarm interrupt signal. The host system can sense the
alarm interrupt signal on the falling or rising edge of either the RESET or Presence Pulse.
PIO signals an Alarm Comparator interrupt by driving low. PIO remains low until the host clears the condition by
writing a 1 to the PIO bit (bit 6 in the Special Feature Register). A pullup resistor or current source must be
provided to force the pin high. The host must sense the alarm interrupt on the falling edge of PIO.

SUSPEND THRESHOLDS
The suspend thresholds set the current level to enter and exit Suspend mode. The threshold levels are
programmable with a magnitude range of 0 to 4mV, and are compared against the value in the Current register.
Values are programmed in two’s complement format with an implied sign bit in a virtual 9th bit position. The Charge
Suspend Threshold register is always a positive value. The Discharge Suspend Threshold register is always a
negative value.
The thresholds define an inclusive, continuous range of currents in which the DS2756 enters or re-enters Suspend
mode from Active mode. The Charge Suspend Threshold represents the minimum measured charge current which
will cause the DS2756 to transition modes. The Discharge Suspend Threshold represents the minimum discharge
current which will cause the DS2756 to transition modes.
The user values of the suspend thresholds are programmed into two bytes located within EEPROM block 0. These
memory locations serve as current threshold values only when either PIE bit is set, and can be used as general
purpose EEPROM if PIE = 00b. A copy command is required to save the byte values to EEPROM. See the
Memory section for information on copying shadow RAM to EEPROM.

ALARM COMPARATORS AND INTERRUPT THRESHOLDS
Alarm interrupt threshold values can be programmed by the user in the designated SRAM memory registers in the
formats and locations found in Figure 11. Since these thresholds are located in SRAM memory, they must be
reprogrammed if a loss of power to the DS2756 occurs. The DS2756 generates an alarm interrupt to indicate that
one of the following events has occurred:
Accumulated Current Current Accumulator Interrupt High Threshold
Accumulated Current Current Accumulator Interrupt Low Threshold
Temperature Temperature Interrupt High Threshold
Temperature Temperature Interrupt Low Threshold
The host may then poll the DS2756 to determine which threshold has been met or exceeded.

SNAPSHOT MODE
Measurement of the current and voltage can be synchronized to a system event with the Snapshot mode.
Triggering a Snapshot event causes the ADC to abandon the current conversion and capture one current and one
voltage sample. The Snapshot results are reported in the Current and Voltage registers for retrieval by the host.
Normal current, voltage and temperature measurements and current accumulation resume immediately following a
Snapshot event, though the Snapshot current and voltage values persist until the host system writes the SNAP bit
in the Special Function Register to a 0. Since the snapshot mode disrupts the continuity of the coulomb counting
process, it should be used sparingly.
The Sync Function Command [D2h] signals the ADC control to expect a Snapshot trigger on DQ. Following the
Sync command, the host can trigger a Snapshot event by toggling the DQ line. Synchronization occurs on the
rising edge of the DQ high to low to high pulse. The Snapshot mode can be abandoned by sending a 1-Wire Reset
instead of the synchronization pulse. The rising edge DQ trigger is formed by the first data bit after issuing the Sync
Function command. A full byte can be issued, but the rising edge of the first bit sets the trigger point. The SNAP bit
is set after the rising edge trigger. Timing is not critical and could be several 100s later since it cannot be read
quickly via 1-Wire. If a 1-Wire reset is issued instead of a data bit, then the Snapshot is abandoned (SNAP bit not
set).
The Snapshot Synchronization Timing in Figure 13 illustrates the timing of the Snapshot current and voltage
sample apertures relative to the DQ rising edge trigger and one timeslot GSM power amp load pulse. In the
diagram, tSAMP = 1/ fSAMP = 1456-1 = 687s. The current and voltage measurements are taken 343s apart but within
a single GSM timeslot.

DS2756: High-Accuracy Battery Fuel Gauge with Programmable Suspend Mode
MEMORY
The DS2756 has a 256-byte linear address space with registers for instrumentation, status, and control in the lower
32 bytes, with lockable EEPROM and SRAM memory occupying portions of the remaining address space. All
EEPROM and SRAM memory is general-purpose except addresses 31h, 33h, 34h and 35h, which should be
written with the default values for the Status Register, Accumulation Bias Register, Charge Suspend Threshold and
Discharge Suspend Threshold, respectively. If the Suspend interrupt is not used, addresses 34h and 35h can be
used as general-purpose EEPROM. When the MSB of any two-byte register is read, the MSB and LSB values are
latched and held for the duration of the Read Data command. This prevents updates during the read to ensure
synchronization between the two register bytes. For consistent results, always read the MSB and the LSB of a two-
byte register during the same Read Data command sequence. In describing register control and status bits, the
terms set and clear refer to internal operations which manipulate bit values. The terms read and write refer to 1-
Wire access to the bit values. Several bits are set internally but require the host system to write them to a 0 value.
EEPROM memory is shadowed by RAM to eliminate programming delays between writes and to allow the data to
be verified by the host system before being copied to EEPROM. The Read Data and Write Data protocols to/from
EEPROM memory addresses access the shadow RAM. The Recall Data function command transfers data from the
EEPROM to the shadow RAM. The Copy Data function command transfers data from the shadow RAM to the
EEPROM and requires tEEC to complete programming of the EEPROM cells. In unlocked EEPROM blocks, writing
data updates shadow RAM. In locked EEPROM blocks, the Write Data command is ignored. The Copy Data
function command copies the contents of shadow RAM to EEPROM in an unlocked block of EEPROM but has no
effect on locked blocks. The Recall Data function command copies the contents of a block of EEPROM to shadow
RAM regardless of whether the block is locked or not.

The desired default value should be set in bit 6 and bit 7 of address 31h. The factory default is 00b.
PMOD—Power Mode Enable. A value of 1 in this bit enables the DS2756 to enter Sleep mode or Suspend mode.
A value of 0 disables the DS2756 from entering the Sleep or Suspend mode. When PMOD is 0, only Active mode
operation is allowed. The desired default value must be set in bit 5 of address 31h. The factory default is 0.
RNAOP—Read Net Address Opcode. A value of 0 in this bit sets the opcode for the Read Net Address command
to 33h, while a 1 sets the opcode to 39h. This bit is read-only. The desired default value should be set in bit 4 of
address 31h. The factory default is 0.
UVEN—Undervoltage Sleep Enable. A value of 1 in UVEN along with a value of 1 in PMOD enables the DS2756 to
enter Sleep mode when the voltage on VIN drops below undervoltage threshold VUV for tUVD (cell depletion). A value
of 0 disables the DS2756 from entering the Sleep mode due to undervoltage events. The desired default value
must be set in bit 3 of address 31h. The factory default is 0.
IOS—Interrupt output select. IOS set to a 1 selects the DQ alarm interrupt signaling method for the Alarm
Comparator interrupt. IOS cleared to 0 selects the PIO alarm interrupt signaling method. The IE bit must be set and
PIE bits cleared to signal an Alarm Comparator interrupt using either method. The desired default value must be
set in bit 2 of address 31h. The factory default is 0.
OBEN—Offset Blanking Enable. A value of 1 in this bit location enables the offset blanking function described in
the Current Accumulation section. If set to 0, the offset blanking function is disabled. The desired default value
must be set in bit 1 of address 31h. The factory default is 0.
OVD—Overdrive Timing Enable. A value of 1 in this bit location enables the Overdrive 1-Wire timings. If set to 0,
the Regular mode timings are enabled. The desired bit value must be written to bit 1 of address 31h, (an EEPROM
block 0 location), then recalled before any change to the 1-Wire speed becomes effective. A power-on reset forces
a recall of settings from EEPROM block 0. The factory default in bit 1 of address 31h is 0 (Standard 1-Wire timing).

POR—POR Indicator bit. This bit is set to a 1 when the DS2756 experiences a power-on-reset (POR) event. To
use the POR bit to detect a power-on-reset, the POR bit must be set to a 0 by the host system upon power-up and
after each subsequent occurrence of a POR. This bit is read/write to 0.
PIO—PIO Pin Sense and Control. See the Program m able I/O section for details on this read/write bit.
IE—Interrupt Enable. A value of 1 in this bit location enables Alarm Comparator interrupt signaling to the host

available as SRAM and have no effect on device operation. IE bit is read/write to 1. IE is cleared to 0 by a 1-Wire
RESET on DQ.
SNAP—Snapshot Control. This bit is set to a 1 immediately after the DS2756 executes a Snapshot conversion
pair. SNAP = 1 indicates that the Current and Voltage registers contain Snapshot results. While SNAP = 1, the

DS2756: High-Accuracy Battery Fuel Gauge with Programmable Suspend Mode
1-Wire BUS SYSTEM
The 1-Wire bus is a system that has a single bus master 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 DS2756 is a slave device.
The bus master is typically a microprocessor 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 DS2756 has a unique, factory-programmed 1-Wire net address that is 64 bits in length. The first 8 bits are the
1-Wire family code (35h for DS2756). The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last 8 bits are a CRC of the
first 56 bits (see Figure 18). The 64-bit net address and the 1-Wire I/O circuitry built into the device enable the
DS2756 to communicate through the 1-Wire protocol detailed in the 1-Wire Bus System section of this data sheet.
Figure 18. 1-Wire Net Address Format
8-Bit CRC 48-Bit Serial Number 8-Bit Family
Code (35h)
MSb LSb
CRC GENERATION
The DS2756 has an 8-bit CRC stored in the most significant byte 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 DS2756. The host system is responsible for verifying the CRC value and taking
action as a result. The DS2756 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 19, or it can be generated in software. Additional information about the Dallas 1-Wire CRC is available in
Application Note 27: Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks with Dallas Semiconductor iButton
Products.
Figure 19. 1-Wire CRC Ge neration Block Diagram
20 of 27
In the circuit in Figure 19, the shift bits are initialized to 0. Then, starting with the least significant bit 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 number 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 tri-state output drivers. The DS2756 uses an open-drain output driver as part of the bidirectional interface
circuitry shown in Figure 20. If a bidirectional pin is not available on the bus master, separate output, and input pins
can be connected together.
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 5k. 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 in order to properly resume the transaction

later. If the bus is left low for more than 120s, slave devices on the bus begin to interpret the low period as a reset
pulse, effectively terminating the transaction.

BUS MASTER DS275x 1-WIRE PORT
The pullup must be disabled to allow the DS2756 to enter Suspend mode. The internal pulldown on the DS2756
DQ input ensures that DQ will be pulled to a logic low when the pullup is simply disconnected. With a
microcontroller, the pullup resistor can be connected between a general purpose port pin and the DS2756 DQ
terminal as shown in Figure 1. The GPIO pin, labeled Pullup Control, can be driven high for Active mode. The pin
labeled Data I/O is used bidirectionally for serial communication. When Standby mode is desired, the Pullup
Control pin can be driven low or floated in the high-Z state. If the current reading falls within the range of the
suspend thresholds, the DS2756 will enter Suspend if configured to do so (PMOD = 1 and PIE 00).
TRANSACTION SEQUENCE
The protocol for accessing the DS2756 through the 1-Wire port is as follows:
Initialization
Net Address Command
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 initialization sequence consisting of a reset pulse transmitted by the
bus master followed by a presence pulse simultaneously transmitted by the DS2756 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 I/O 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 command is followed by the 8-bit opcode for
that command in square brackets. Figure 21 presents a transaction flowchart of the net address commands.
Read Net Address [33h or 39h]. This command allows the bus master to read the DS2756’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 present, a data
collision occurs when all slaves try to transmit at the same time (open drain produces a wired-AND result). The
RNAOP bit in the Status Register selects the opcode 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 DS2756 on the 1-Wire
bus. Only the addressed DS2756 responds to any subsequent function command. All other slave devices ignore
21 of 27
DS2756: High-Accuracy Battery Fuel Gauge with Programmable Suspend Mode
22 of 27
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 DS2756 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 function 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 complement 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 complete 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 DS19xx iButton Standards for a comprehensive
discussion of a net address search, including an actual example. This publication can be found on the
Maxim/Dallas website at www.maxim-ic.com.
FUNCTION COMMANDS
After successfully completing one of the net address commands, the bus master can access the features of the
DS2756 with any of the function commands described in the following paragraphs. The name of each function is
followed by the 8-bit opcode for that command in square brackets.
Read Data [69h, XX]. This command reads data from the DS2756 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of the
data in address XX is available to be read immediately 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 master continues to read
beyond address FFh, the DS2756 outputs logic 1 until a reset pulse occurs. Addresses labeled “reserved” in the
memory map contain undefined data. The Read Data command can be terminated by the bus master with a reset
pulse at any bit boundary.
Write Data [6Ch, XX]. This command writes data to the DS2756 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of the
data to be stored at address XX can be written immediately after the MSb of the 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 continues
to write beyond address FFh, the DS2756 ignores the data. Writes to read-only addresses, reserved addresses
and locked EEPROM blocks are ignored. Incomplete bytes are not written. Writes to unlocked EEPROM blocks are
to shadow RAM rather than EEPROM. See the Memory section for more details.
Copy Data [48h, XX]. This command copies the contents of shadow RAM to EEPROM for the 32-byte 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 execution time, tEEC, is 2ms typical and starts after the last address bit is transmitted.
Recall Data [B8h, XX]. This command recalls the contents of the 32-byte EEPROM block containing address XX
to shadow RAM.
Lock [6Ah, XX]. This command locks (write-protects) the 32-byte block of EEPROM memory containing memory
address XX. The LOCK bit in the EEPROM Register must be set to l before the Lock command is executed. If the
LOCK bit is 0, the Lock command has no effect. The Lock command is permanent; a locked block can never be
written again.
Sync [D2h, XX]. This command allows the bus to be used to trigger current and voltage Snapshot readings.
Following the issue of the Sync command, the bus returns to the idle state awaiting the measurement trigger.
When the bus transitions high to low and then low to high on the first data bit issued after the command byte, the
Snapshot measurements are performed. Only one bit of the data byte is required to trigger the Snapshot
measurements. One Snapshot command must be issued for each Snapshot trigger event.

I/O SIGNALING
The 1-Wire bus requires strict signaling protocols to ensure data integrity. The four protocols or signaling types
used are:
1) Initialization sequence (Reset Pulse followed by Presence Pulse)
2) Write 0
3) Write 1
4) Read Data
All signaling is initiated by the bus master. Except for the Presence Pulse, all falling edges are created by the bus
master. The initialization sequence required to begin communication with the DS2756 is shown in Figure 22. A
presence pulse following a reset pulse indicates the DS2756 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 DS2756 waits for tPDH and then transmits 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
1s minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles.
The bus master generates a write 1 time slot by pulling 1-Wire bus line low for tLOW1 and then releasing it. The bus
must be pulled high within 15s in Standard mode or 2s in Overdrive mode after the start of the write-time slot.
The bus master generates a write 0 time slot by pulling 1-Wire bus line low and then holding it low for tLOW0, or up to
the end of the write-time slot.
The DS2756 samples the 1-Wire bus after the line falls, sampling occurs between 15s and 60s in Standard
mode and between 2s and 6s in Overdrive mode. If the line is high when sampled by the DS2756, a write 1
occurs, that is, the DS2756 accepts the bit value to be a 1. If the line is low when sampled, a write 0 occurs, that is,
the DS2756 accepts the bit value to be a 0. See Figure 23 for more information.
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 generated read-time slot results in a read 1 and read 0 depending on the data presented by the
DS2756. All read-time slots must be tSLOT in duration with a 1s minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles.
The bus master initiates a read-time slot by pulling the bus line low for at least 1s and then releasing it to allow the
DS2756 to present valid data. The DS2756 generates a read 0 by holding the line low. The line is held low for at
least the Read Data Valid time (tRDV) from the start of the read-time slot. The DS2756 releases the bus line and
allows it to be pulled high by the external pullup resistor some time after tRDV but before the end of the read-time
slot. A read 1 is generated by not holding the line low after the time slot is initiated by the master. The line is
allowing it to be pulled high as soon as it is released by the master. The bus master must sample the bus after
initializing the time slot and before tRDV to read the data value transmitted by the DS2756. Sampling should occur
as close to tRDV as possible to allow for the rise time of the passive pullup 1-Wire bus. See Figure 23 for more
information.
