Datasheet

General Description
The DS2786B estimates available capacity for recharge-
able Li-ion (Li+) and Li+ polymer batteries based on the
cell voltage in the open-circuit state following a relax-
ation period. The open-circuit voltage (OCV) is used to
determine relative cell capacity based on a lookup table
stored in the IC. This capability makes accurate capacity
information available immediately after a battery pack is
inserted. During periods of moderate to high rate dis-
charging, which preclude OCV measurements, the
DS2786B uses coulomb counting as a secondary
means of estimating relative capacity.
Remaining capacity is reported in percent, along with
cell voltage, current, and temperature information. Cell
characteristics and application parameters used in the
calculations are stored in on-chip EEPROM.
The DS2786B is intended for use on the host side of
portable devices, though it can also be mounted within a
battery pack. Measurement and estimated capacity data
are accessed through an I
2
C interface. Temperature
data is available from an on-die sensor. Resistance mea-
surements of a pack identification resistor and pack ther-
mistor are supported by ratiometric measurements on
two auxiliary inputs.
The DS2786B comes in a 10-pin, lead-free, TDFN 3mm
x 3mm package with an exposed pad (EP).
