Product details
Overview
DS2786G-C29+ from Maxim Integrated is a standalone OCV-based fuel gauge IC for Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery capacity estimation. It combines open-circuit voltage (OCV) lookup with coulomb counting, delivers 12-bit voltage (±10 mV accuracy), 11-bit bidirectional current (±3.4 A range with 15 mΩ sense resistor), and on-die temperature sensing (±3°C). It operates in host-side portable devices like 3G handsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the DS2786G-C29+ datasheet, DS2786G-C29+ pinout, DS2786G-C29+ application, or DS2786G-C29+ equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C interface compatibility, 10-pin TDFN-EP package constraints, OCV model programmability, coulomb counter resolution (25 µV/RSNS), and low-power sleep mode (1 µA typical).
Technical Context
The DS2786G-C29+ implements a hybrid state-of-charge algorithm: during system inactivity, it triggers dV/dt evaluation every 15 minutes to detect relaxed OCV conditions and correct coulomb count using a 9-point piecewise-linear EEPROM-stored cell model; during active discharge/charge, it performs continuous sigma-delta ADC sampling of VIN, SNS–VSS, AIN0, AIN1, and on-die temperature at fixed intervals (880 ms or 1760 ms per channel).
Its measurement architecture includes ratiometric auxiliary inputs driven by VOUT (eliminating supply dependency), programmable current offset bias (COBR, ±3.2 mV/RSNS), and dual power modes-Active (50 µA typ) and Sleep (1 µA typ)-with automatic transition triggered by I²C bus activity or timeout (1.5–2.2 s bus-low detection).

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS2786G-C29+ in a battery management system?
The DS2786G-C29+ serves as a standalone fuel gauge IC that estimates remaining battery capacity (%) using a hybrid method: open-circuit voltage (OCV) lookup during system idle periods and coulomb counting during active load. It reports voltage, current, temperature, and relative capacity over I²C - all without requiring host-side learning algorithms. Its design eliminates first-cycle inaccuracies and supports immediate SOC reporting after battery insertion.
Does the DS2786G-C29+ require an external thermistor for temperature measurement?
No. The DS2786G-C29+ includes an on-die temperature sensor with ±3°C accuracy and 0.125°C resolution, accessible via the Temperature Register (0Ah–0Bh) when the ITEMP bit is enabled. This eliminates the need for an external thermistor in many applications. However, AIN1 can still be used for external thermistor measurement if higher accuracy or remote sensing is required - the IC supports either mode, but not simultaneously.
How does the DS2786G-C29+ handle current-sense resistor variation across production units?
The DS2786G-C29+ accommodates sense resistor tolerance through its Current Offset Bias Register (COBR, address 60h), which allows adding or subtracting up to ±3.2 mV/RSNS in 25 µV/RSNS steps. This enables per-unit calibration to cancel static PCB-level offset errors. Additionally, the Initial Capacity Scaling Factor (7Ah) and Learned Capacity Scaling Factor (17h) registers scale accumulated current based on actual RSNS value - ensuring accurate Ah-to-% conversion regardless of resistor variance.
Can the OCV voltage-vs-capacity profile in the DS2786G-C29+ be customized for different battery cells?
Yes. The DS2786G-C29+ stores a 9-point piecewise-linear OCV model in EEPROM (addresses 61h–79h), with capacity breakpoints (0.5% resolution) and voltage breakpoints (1.22 mV resolution) fully programmable via I²C. The factory default model is modifiable to match specific Li-ion or Li-polymer cell characteristics, including aging effects - enabling accurate SOC estimation across diverse chemistries and vendors without hardware changes.
What is the role of the VOUT pin on the DS2786G-C29+ and why is it important?
The VOUT pin on the DS2786G-C29+ supplies a stable reference voltage to drive resistive dividers connected to AIN0 and AIN1. By using VOUT instead of VDD as the reference, ratiometric measurements eliminate errors caused by supply voltage drift or tolerance - achieving ±8 LSB accuracy for thermistor or pack ID resistor readings. This feature reduces BOM cost and improves measurement reliability in variable-input-voltage systems.
