MAX17320
2S-4S ModelGauge m5 EZ Fuel Gauge with
Protector, Internal Self-Discharge Detection,
and SHA-256 Authentication
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX17320 is a 38μA I stand-alone pack-side fuel
● Battery Health + Programmable Safety/Protection
• Overvoltage (Temperature Dependent)
• Overcharge/Overdischarge/Short-Circuit Current
• Over/Undertemperature
Q
gauge IC with protector, battery internal self-discharge de-
tection, and optional SHA-256 authentication for 2 to 4 se-
ries lithium-ion/polymer batteries.
• Undervoltage + SmartEmpty
The IC monitors the voltage, current, temperature and
state of the battery to provide protection against over/un-
dervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, over/undertempera-
ture, overcharge, and internal self-discharge conditions
using external high-side N-FETs, and provides charging
prescription to ensure that the battery operates under safe
conditions, thereby prolonging the life of the battery. The
IC balances the cells using internal FETs. During prequal
charging, the IC uses the CHGFET to linearly control
charging.
• Battery Internal Self-Discharge Detection
• Ideal Diode Discharge During Charge Fault
• Charging Prescriptions (JEITA)
• Prequal Charge Control with CHG FET
● ModelGauge m5 EZ Algorithm
• Percent, Capacity, Time-to-Empty/Full, Age
• Cycle+™ Age Forecast
● Precision Measurement Without Calibration
• Current, Voltage, Power, Time, Cycles
• Die Temperature, 4 Thermistors ±1˚C
To prevent battery pack cloning, the IC integrates
SHA-256 authentication with a 160-bit secret key. Each IC
incorporates a unique 64-bit ID.
● Cell Balancing with Internal FETs
● SHA-256 Authentication
● Nonvolatile Memory for Stand-Alone Operation
• History Logging, User Data (84 Bytes)
TM
The fuel gauge uses Maxim ModelGauge
m5 algorithm
that combines the short-term accuracy and linearity of a
coulomb counter with the long-term stability of a voltage-
based fuel gauge to provide industry-leading fuel gauge
accuracy. The IC automatically compensates for cell ag-
ing, temperature, and discharge rate, and provides accu-
rate state-of-charge (SOC) in milliampere-hours (mAh) or
percentage (%) over a wide range of operating conditions.
● Low Quiescent Current
• FETs Enabled: 38μA Active
● Pushbutton Wakeup—Eliminates System
Consumption Until Button Press
● Always-On LDO
● Dynamic Power—Estimates Power Capability
● SBS 1.1 Compatible Register Set
The IC provides a configurable always-on LDO that can
power small critical loads on the system side without over-
loading the cells even under fault conditions. Dynamic
power functionality provides the instantaneous maximum
battery output power which can be delivered to the system
without violating the minimum system input voltage.
