The LTC2941 measures battery charge state in battery-supplied handheld PC and portable product applications. Its operating range is perfectly suited for single-cell Li-Ion batteries. A precision coulomb counter integrates current through a sense resistor between the battery’s positive terminal and the load or charger. The measured charge is stored in internal registers. An SMBus/I²C interface accesses and configures the device.

The LTC2941 features programmable high and low thresholds for accumulated charge. If a threshold is exceeded, the device communicates an alert using either the SMBus alert protocol or by setting a flag in the internal status register.

The LTC2941 requires only a single low value external sense resistor to set the current range.

LTC2941 Demo Board | 2.7V to 5.25V Battery Gas Gauge with I2C (Requires DC590B)

Buy Now View Details

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 1496C-A features the LTC2941, a battery gas gauge that measures battery charge and discharge with an external sense resistor (100mΩ sense resistor included), yielding a maximum current measurement of 500mA (±50mV current sense voltage range). The sense resistor can be changed; however the software only accepts sense resistors between 0.1mΩ to 5Ω. The 2.7V to 5.5V operating range is perfectly suited for single cell Li-Ion batteries.

A precision analog coulomb counter integrates current through the sense resistor between the battery’s positive terminal and the load or charger. The measured charge is stored in internal registers accessible via the on-board SMBus/I²C interface.
