Stand-Alone Fuel-Gauge IC with
LED Display Drivers
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.

Specification.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

FUNCTION
Display Driver. Connect to an LED connected to V
DD
for display of relative pack capacity.
Display Driver. Connect to an LED connected to V
DD
for display of relative pack capacity.
Display Ground. Ground connection for the LED display drivers. Connect to V
SS
.
Power-Supply Input. Connect to the positive terminal of the battery cell through a decoupling network.
1-Wire Bus Speed Control. Input logic level selects the speed of the 1-Wire bus. Logic 1 selects overdrive (OVD)
and Logic 0 selects standard (STD) timing. On a multidrop bus, all devices must operate at the same speed.
Device Ground. Connect directly to the negative terminal of the battery cell. Connect the sense resistor
between V
SS
and SNS.
Data Input/Output. 1-Wire data line, open-drain output driver. Connect this pin to the DATA terminal of the
battery pack. This pin has a weak internal pulldown (I
PD
) for sensing pack disconnection from host or charger.
Voltage Measurement Active. Output is driven high before the start of a voltage conversion and driven low at
the end of the conversion cycle.
Sense Resistor Connection. Connect to the negative terminal of the battery pack. Connect the sense resistor
between V
SS
and SNS.
Voltage Sense Input. The voltage of the battery cell is monitored through this input pin.
Programmable I/O Pin. Can be configured as input or output to monitor or control user-defined external
circuitry. Output driver is open drain. This pin has a weak internal pulldown (I
PD
). When configured as an input,
upon recognition of a rising edge, the fuel-gauge display is enabled.
Display Driver. Connect to an LED connected to V
DD
for display of relative pack capacity. Leave floating in
LED4 configuration.
