Product details
Overview
MAX17806ETI+T from Maxim Integrated is an advanced smart battery pack controller IC featuring an 8-bit RISC microcontroller core, Coulomb-counter-based fuel gauge with <1µV input offset, ±50mV individual cell voltage measurement accuracy, integrated LDO (4V–28V input), and dual-interface support (SPI + SMBus master/slave). It directly supervises 2–4 series Li-ion cells in portable SMBus battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17806ETI+T datasheet, MAX17806ETI+T pinout, MAX17806ETI+T application, or MAX17806ETI+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its on-chip protection MOSFET drivers, 1nA shutdown current, 3.5MHz instruction oscillator, 144-byte data RAM, and hardware SMBus arbitration for multi-master battery systems.
Technical Context
The MAX17806ETI+T implements a Harvard-architecture 8-bit RISC CPU with 1.5KB on-chip ROM and 0.5KB program RAM, executing instructions at up to 3.5MHz via internal oscillator. Its analog front end includes dual voltage-to-frequency converters for precision Coulomb counting and a 12-channel analog multiplexer supporting cell voltage, stack voltage, and temperature sensing.
Protection logic integrates programmable overcharge/discharge current comparators with direct gate drive outputs for external N-channel MOSFETs, eliminating need for discrete primary protection ICs. The device operates from 4V–28V input and regulates its own 3.4V supply via integrated LDO.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of Li-ion cells supported by the MAX17806ETI+T?
The MAX17806ETI+T supports up to four series-connected Li-ion cells. Its analog front end provides dedicated sense inputs (B1P–B4P and BN) for individual cell voltage monitoring within this range. It does not support 5+ cell configurations or stacked architectures beyond 4S, and no external multiplexing is implied in the datasheet for extended cell counts.
Does the MAX17806ETI+T include built-in protection MOSFET drivers?
Yes, the MAX17806ETI+T includes two open-drain gate driver outputs: DIS for discharge path control and CHG for charge path control. These directly drive external N-channel MOSFETs, eliminating the need for a separate primary protection IC. Drive strength and timing are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Gate Driver Output Voltage" and "Turn-On/Turn-Off Delay".
Can the MAX17806ETI+T operate without an external crystal?
Yes, the MAX17806ETI+T operates using its internal 3.5MHz instruction oscillator and optional 32.768kHz watch crystal for real-time clock functions. External crystal is only required if precise RTC timing is needed; all core CPU, ADC, and communication functions run autonomously from the internal oscillator.
What memory resources are available for user programming on the MAX17806ETI+T?
The MAX17806ETI+T provides 1.5KB of on-chip ROM for firmware storage, 0.5KB of program RAM, and 144 bytes of data RAM. User code is loaded via SPI or SMBus into internal memory - no external EEPROM is required for execution, though external EEPROM may be used for non-volatile parameter storage per application design.
Is the MAX17806ETI+T SMBus interface compatible with Smart Battery Data Specification (SBS) v1.1?
Yes, the MAX17806ETI+T implements full SMBus 1.1 protocol compliance including packet error checking (PEC), alert response address (ARA), and standard SBS command set (e.g., ManufacturerAccess, RemainingCapacity, FullChargeCapacity). Its hardware SMBus engine handles START/STOP/RESTART and ACK/NACK generation per specification.
