Stand-Alone OCV-Based Fuel Gauge
DS2786B
General Description
Features
♦ Relative Capacity Calculated from Combination
Coulomb Counter and Open-Circuit Cell Voltage
(OCV) Battery Model
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.
♦ Accurate Warning of Low-Battery Conditions
Even on First Cycle (No Learn Cycle Needed)
♦ 12-Bit Battery Voltage Measurement
±1ꢀmV Accuracy
1.22mV LSB, ꢀV to 4.5V Input Range
♦ 11-Bit Bidirectional Current Measurement
25µV LSB, ±51.2mV ꢁynamic Range
1.67mA LSB, ±±.4A (R
= 15mΩ)
SNS
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.
♦ Current Accumulation Measurement Resolution
±2ꢀ4.ꢂmVꢃ Range
±1±.65Aꢃ (R

♦ Internal Temperature Measurement
ꢀ.125°C LSB, ±±°C Accuracy
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 I2C 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.
