Product details
Overview
DS2788E+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a standalone fuel-gauge IC for single-cell Li+ and Li-polymer batteries, measuring voltage (0–4.5V, ±50mV error), temperature (±3°C), and current (±51.2mV full-scale, 1.56μV/RSNS resolution), and estimating remaining capacity in mAh and % with FuelPack™ algorithm. It integrates five 30mA open-drain LED drivers and a 1-Wire interface for battery pack monitoring in power tools and e-bikes.
For engineers reviewing the DS2788E+T&R datasheet, DS2788E+T&R pinout, DS2788E+T&R application, or DS2788E+T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated LED display drivers, 14-pin TSSOP package, nonvolatile EEPROM storage for cell parameters, 2.5–4.5V supply range, and SLEEP mode current of 1–3μA for low-power battery management.
Technical Context
The DS2788E+T&R implements a hardware-based FuelPack™ capacity estimation engine using real-time coulomb counting, temperature-compensated current sensing, and piecewise-linear cell modeling across five temperature segments. Its ADC architecture supports differential current measurement at 18.6kHz sampling, with automatic offset correction every ~1 hour and programmable gain (RSGAIN) and temperature coefficient (RSTC) registers for sense-resistor calibration.
It features dual power modes-ACTIVE (105μA typical) and SLEEP (1–3μA)-triggered via DQ line timeout or VIN undervoltage detection (2.45V threshold). Communication occurs over a multidrop-capable 1-Wire interface supporting both standard (16kbps) and overdrive (140kbps) speeds, with factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID for traceability.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS2788E+T&R in a battery pack?
The DS2788E+T&R serves as a standalone fuel-gauge IC that autonomously measures battery voltage, temperature, and current; estimates remaining capacity in mAh and percentage; and drives up to five LEDs for visual state-of-charge indication. It eliminates the need for host MCU-based gauging algorithms by embedding the FuelPack™ capacity estimation engine and storing cell parameters in on-chip EEPROM. The DS2788E+T&R operates independently from system-level controllers and communicates via 1-Wire interface.
Does the DS2788E+T&R support multicell lithium-ion battery configurations?
Yes, the DS2788E+T&R supports multicell configurations through its high-input-impedance (15MΩ) VIN pin, which accepts voltage from an external resistor divider. The device measures the divided voltage and scales it internally using stored cell-count and divider-ratio parameters. Figure 2 in the official datasheet shows a verified 10-cell Li+ application using a precision trim resistor network. Calibration registers (e.g., RSGAIN, TBP12/TBP23) allow fine-tuning for multicell accuracy.
How does the DS2788E+T&R achieve accurate current measurement with low-cost sense resistors?
The DS2788E+T&R achieves accuracy with low-cost sense resistors via two programmable calibration registers: RSGAIN (11-bit, factory-set but user-reprogrammable) adjusts current-measurement gain in 0.001 steps from 0 to 1.999, compensating for resistor tolerance; and RSTC (8-bit) applies temperature compensation up to +7782ppm/°C in 30.5ppm/°C steps. These registers are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM and applied in real time during current accumulation - enabling ±1% gain error and effective thermal drift correction without precision resistors.
What power-saving features does the DS2788E+T&R offer for battery-powered systems?
The DS2788E+T&R offers two configurable SLEEP modes: PMOD SLEEP (entered after 2s of low DQ) and UVEN SLEEP (triggered when VIN falls below 2.45V). Both reduce current consumption from 105μA (ACTIVE) to 1–3μA while preserving register contents. During SLEEP, measurement and accumulation halt, but the device remains responsive to 1-Wire reset pulses. The VMA pin further conserves power by enabling external voltage-divider circuitry only during conversions - minimizing continuous loading on the battery.
Can the DS2788E+T&R be used without a microcontroller in the battery pack?
Yes, the DS2788E+T&R is explicitly designed for MCU-less operation. Its five integrated LED drivers provide direct visual fuel-gauge output; the debounced PIO pin enables display activation via mechanical switch; and the FuelPack™ algorithm runs entirely on-chip. Host interaction is optional - used only for advanced configuration (e.g., EEPROM writes, calibration) via 1-Wire. For basic SOC indication, the DS2788E+T&R functions fully autonomously with no external processor required.
