The MAX17058/MAX17059 ICs are tiny fuel gauges for
lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equip-
ment. The MAX17058 operates with a single Li+ cell and
the MAX17059 with two Li+ cells in series.
The ICs use the sophisticated Li+ battery-modeling
algorithm ModelGauge™ to track the battery relative
state-of-charge (SOC) continuously over a widely varying
charge/discharge conditions. The ModelGauge algorithm
eliminates current-sense resistor and battery-learn cycles
required by other fuel gauges. Temperature compensa-
tion is implemented using the system micro-controller.
On battery insertion, the ICs debounce initial voltage
measurements to improve the initial SOC estimate,
allowing them to be located on system side. SOC and
voltage information is accessed using the I
2
C interface.
The ICs are available in a tiny 0.9mm x 1.7mm, 8-bump
wafer-level package (WLP) or a 2mm x 2mm, 8-pin TDFN
package.

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.

Specifications are tested 100% at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating range are guaranteed by design and
characterization.
Note 2:
All voltages are referenced to GND.
Note 3:
Test is performed on unmounted/unsoldered ports.
Note 4:
The voltage is trimmed and verified with 16x averaging.
Note 5:
This current is always present.
Note 6:
The IC enters sleep mode after SCL < V
IL
and SDA < V
IL
for longer than 2.5s.
Note 7:
Timing must be fast enough to prevent the IC from entering sleep mode due to bus low for period > t
SLEEP
.
Note 8:
f
SCL
must meet the minimum clock low time plus the rise/fall times.
Note 9:
The maximum t
HD:DAT
has to be met only if the device does not stretch the low period (t
LOW
) of the SCL signal.
Note 10:
This device internally provides a hold time of at least 100ns for the SDA signal (referred to the V
IH,MIN
of the SCL signal)
to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
Note 11:
Filters on SDA and SCL suppress noise spikes at the input buffers and delay the sampling instance.
