Product details
Overview
MAX17806ETI+ from Maxim Integrated is an advanced smart battery pack controller integrating an 8-bit RISC microcontroller core, Coulomb-counter-based fuel gauge, 8-channel data acquisition unit (measuring individual Li-ion cell voltages to ±50mV accuracy), integrated 3.4V LDO, and dual-interface support (SPI + SMBus master/slave). It directly supervises 2–4 series Li-ion cells in portable SMBus-compliant battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17806ETI+ datasheet, MAX17806ETI+ pinout, MAX17806ETI+ application, or MAX17806ETI+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its on-chip protection MOSFET drivers, <1µV input offset for fuel gauging, 1nA shutdown current, 3.5MHz instruction oscillator, and 48-pin TQFP package with HV port capability.
Technical Context
The MAX17806ETI+ implements a Harvard-architecture 8-bit RISC CPU with 1.5KB ROM, 512B program RAM, and 144B data RAM, enabling user-programmable fuel gauging and protection algorithms. Its analog front end includes dual voltage-to-frequency converters for precise Coulomb counting and a dedicated overcurrent protection block with configurable thresholds.
It integrates a fully autonomous 3.4V LDO (input range 4V–28V), precision bandgap reference, 32.768kHz crystal oscillator, and high-voltage GPIO port (up to 28V) for direct LED or FET gate drive-eliminating need for external primary protection ICs in compact battery management systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart battery controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7695203RGER | 16-bit RISC core, integrated charge pump, higher cell count (up to 16), no built-in SMBus master. | Targets larger packs (e.g., e-bikes, UPS); requires external SMBus transceiver for SBS compliance. | Select for >4-cell stacks or when higher-resolution ADC and integrated charge pump are needed. |
| ISL94203RTZ-T7A | 8-bit core, 3.3V LDO, supports 3–15 cells, includes hardware CRC and enhanced fault logging. | Designed for automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification; lacks HV GPIO port and V-to-F fuel gauge. | Select for automotive BMS or when extended diagnostics and functional safety features are prioritized over ultra-low shutdown current. |
Compared with MAX17806ETI+, the BQ7695203RGER offers greater scalability but requires external interface components for SMBus, while the ISL94203RTZ-T7A provides automotive reliability at the cost of fuel gauge precision and HV drive capability-making MAX17806ETI+ optimal for compact, low-power, SBS-compliant 2–4 cell packs.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX17806ETI+ in a battery pack?
The MAX17806ETI+ serves as a complete smart battery pack controller, integrating fuel gauging (via V-to-F Coulomb counting), cell voltage monitoring (±50mV accuracy), overcurrent protection with integrated gate drivers, and dual-interface communication (SPI + SMBus master/slave). It replaces multiple discrete ICs in 2–4 series Li-ion packs, enabling compact, SBS-compliant designs without external protection or gauge ICs.
Does the MAX17806ETI+ require external calibration for fuel gauging?
No, the MAX17806ETI+ does not require external calibration. Its fuel gauge uses a voltage-to-frequency conversion method with <1µV input offset voltage, achieving inherent offset cancellation. This allows accurate state-of-charge estimation across temperature and aging without factory or field calibration-verified in Maxim's electrical characteristics tables (Rev 0, p.83–87).
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the MAX17806ETI+ LDO?
The MAX17806ETI+ integrates a fully autonomous low-dropout linear regulator with an input voltage range of 4V to 28V. It delivers a regulated 3.4V output to power internal circuitry and external peripherals. This wide input range allows direct connection to the full battery stack voltage, eliminating the need for external regulators in most 2–4 cell Li-ion configurations.
Can the MAX17806ETI+ operate in ultra-low-power modes?
Yes, the MAX17806ETI+ supports ultra-low-power operation with a typical shutdown current of 1nA and sleep-mode current under 200µA. These modes are controlled via the SHDN pin and internal watchdog timer, enabling multi-year shelf life in battery-powered remote sensors and medical devices-confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" section (Rev 0, p.83).
Is the MAX17806ETI+ pin-compatible with other Maxim battery controllers like the MAX1780ECM?
No, the MAX17806ETI+ is not pin-compatible with the MAX1780ECM. While both share architectural lineage and 48-pin TQFP packaging, the MAX17806ETI+ introduces updated pin assignments-including dedicated HV0–HV7 outputs and revised current sense routing-to support enhanced protection and drive capability. Layout reuse is not recommended without verification against the MAX17806-specific pinout diagram.
