Product details
Overview
DS2780E+ from Maxim Integrated is a standalone fuel gauge IC designed for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It measures voltage (0–4.992 V, ±50 mV error), temperature (±3°C error, 0.125°C resolution), and current (±51.2 mV full-scale, ±1% gain error), and estimates remaining capacity in mAh and % full using on-chip FuelPack™ algorithms. It embeds directly into battery packs for digital still cameras and 3G handsets.
For engineers reviewing the DS2780E+ datasheet, DS2780E+ pinout, DS2780E+ application, or DS2780E+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application roles, and two confirmed alternative fuel gauges - all grounded in Maxim's official DS2780 specification document (Rev. 19-4634, May 2009).
Technical Context
The DS2780E+ operates from 2.5V to 4.5V and integrates a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC for simultaneous voltage, temperature, and current sensing. Its on-chip EEPROM stores 24 bytes of calibrated cell parameters and 16 bytes of user data, enabling autonomous capacity estimation without host-side algorithm development.
It implements dual power modes (ACTIVE at 105 µA, SLEEP at 1–3 µA) triggered by DQ line state or VIN undervoltage (2.45 V threshold), and supports both standard (16 kbps) and overdrive (140 kbps) 1-Wire communication via a unique 64-bit ROM ID for multidrop bus operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +2.5 V to +4.5 V - powers directly from single-cell Li-ion pack; no external regulator needed. |

| Temperature Accuracy | ±3°C - enables reliable capacity derating across -40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Current Full-Scale Range | ±51.2 mV - supports sense resistors from 5 mΩ to 20 mΩ, yielding 312.5 µA to 1.25 mA LSB resolution. |
| Active Current Consumption | 105 µA - allows continuous monitoring without significant battery drain in portable devices. |
| SLEEP Current | 1–3 µA - extends shelf life during storage or system standby while preserving register state. |
| 1-Wire Interface Speed | Standard (16 kbps) or Overdrive (140 kbps) - selectable via OVD pin; enables fast host polling in high-throughput systems. |
| EEPROM Endurance | 50,000 write cycles at +50°C - ensures long-term reliability for parameter updates in production and field calibration. |
Pinout & Package
DS2780E+ uses an 8-pin TSSOP package (RoHS-compliant, lead-free). Pin functions are validated per Maxim's DS2780 datasheet (p. 4–5). NC pins must be left floating or tied to VSS; DQ and PIO feature weak internal pulldowns for pack-disconnection detection.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC (Pin 1) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; float or tie to VSS - no signal routing required. |
| VSS (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Must connect directly to battery negative terminal; serves as return path for SNS and RSNS. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Battery voltage sense input | Monitors cell voltage (0–4.992 V); high 15 MΩ input impedance enables use with voltage dividers for multicell packs. |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Power supply input | Connects to battery positive via decoupling capacitor; powers internal circuitry and EEPROM. |
| DQ (Pin 5) | 1-Wire bidirectional data | Open-drain I/O with weak pulldown; carries commands, status, and capacity data; detects pack removal. |
| OVD (Pin 6) | Bus speed select | Logic high enables 140 kbps overdrive mode; logic low selects standard 16 kbps timing - sets bus speed for all slaves. |
| SNS (Pin 7) | Current sense resistor connection | Differential input for RSNS; measures ±51.2 mV drop to compute charge/discharge current with coulomb counting. |
| PIO (Pin 8) | Programmable I/O | Configurable open-drain pin for host-defined control or monitoring (e.g., thermal alert, protection flag). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FuelPack™ capacity algorithm | Estimates mAh remaining and % full using temperature-, rate-, and history-compensated lookup models - eliminates host firmware complexity. |
| Auto-backup of ACR to EEPROM | Preserves accumulated charge value across power loss; recovers on power-up - prevents coulomb-count drift during storage. |
| Gain & tempco calibration registers | RSGAIN (11-bit) and RSTC (8-bit) allow post-manufacture tuning for low-cost sense resistors - reduces BOM cost without sacrificing accuracy. |
| Unique 64-bit 1-Wire ID | Enables absolute traceability and multidrop support on shared DATA lines - simplifies pack identification in multi-battery systems. |
| Dual SLEEP entry modes | PMOD (DQ-low timeout) and UVEN (VIN < 2.45 V) - minimizes quiescent current during disconnection or deep discharge without host intervention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fuel gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27426YZFT | TI device uses I²C interface (not 1-Wire); requires external microcontroller for gas gauging algorithm execution. | Designed for embedded host systems with I²C access; not suitable for direct pack integration without host coordination. | Choose when system already uses I²C and host firmware can manage impedance tracking; avoid if 1-Wire simplicity or standalone operation is required. |
| MAX17048G+T | Maxim device uses ModelGauge™ m3 algorithm; supports 2-cell configurations natively; no OVD pin or PIO. | Targeted at higher-voltage packs (up to 8.4 V) and applications needing advanced aging compensation - not pin-compatible. | Choose for 2-cell Li-ion packs or where enhanced cycle-life prediction is critical; DS2780E+ remains optimal for cost-sensitive, single-cell, 1-Wire–based designs. |
Compared with BQ27426YZFT and MAX17048G+T, the DS2780E+ uniquely combines true standalone operation, 1-Wire simplicity, and TSSOP packaging optimized for thin prismatic battery integration - making it the only choice for space-constrained, host-minimal fuel gauge implementations.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS2780E+ in a battery pack?
The DS2780E+ serves as a standalone fuel gauge IC that autonomously measures battery voltage, temperature, and current, then estimates remaining capacity in mAh and percentage of full using on-chip FuelPack™ algorithms. Unlike host-dependent gauges, the DS2780E+ performs all calculations internally and reports results via its 1-Wire interface - eliminating the need for external microcontroller firmware.
Does the DS2780E+ support multiple battery cells?
The DS2780E+ is designed for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer applications. While it can be adapted to multicell packs using external voltage dividers on the VIN pin (as shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet), it does not natively support >1 cell. For true 2-cell operation, Maxim recommends the DS2781, which includes an integrated voltage regulator and accepts up to 10 V on VIN - the DS2780E+ lacks this capability.
How does the DS2780E+ handle low-power states?
The DS2780E+ features two configurable SLEEP modes: PMOD (triggered by DQ line held low for ~2 seconds) and UVEN (triggered when VIN drops below 2.45 V). In SLEEP mode, current consumption drops to 1–3 µA while preserving register contents. The DS2780E+ automatically wakes on DQ activity or VIN recovery - enabling extended shelf life and energy-efficient operation in portable devices.
Can the DS2780E+ be calibrated after manufacturing?
Yes - the DS2780E+ supports post-manufacturing calibration via two user-accessible EEPROM registers: RSGAIN (11-bit) adjusts current measurement gain to compensate for sense resistor tolerance, and RSTC (8-bit) applies temperature coefficient correction. These values are stored in the 24-byte parameter EEPROM block and persist across power cycles - allowing fine-tuning for accuracy without factory reprogramming.
What is the role of the PIO pin on the DS2780E+?
The PIO (Programmable I/O) pin on the DS2780E+ is an open-drain, software-configurable terminal that can function as either an input or output. Typical uses include monitoring external thermistors, driving LED indicators, or signaling protection events to the host. Its weak internal pulldown enables robust detection of open-circuit conditions - adding flexibility for custom battery-pack functionality beyond core fuel gauging.
