DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
2941 measures battery charge state in battery-
supplied handheld PC and portable product applications.
Its operating range is perfectly suited for single cell Li-Ion
batteries. A precision coulomb counter integrates current
through a sense resistor between the battery’s positive
terminal and the load or charger. The measured charge
is stored in internal registers. An SMBus/I
2
C interface
accesses and configures the device.
The LTC2941 features programmable high and low thresh-
olds for accumulated charge. If a threshold is exceeded,
the device communicates an alert using either the SMBus
alert protocol or by setting a flag in the internal status
register.
The LTC2941 requires only a single low value external
sense resistor to set the current range.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SENSE
+
(Pin 1):
Positive Current Sense Input and Power
Supply. Connect to the load/charger side of the sense
resistor. V
SENSE+
operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V.
GND (Pin 2, Exposed Pad Pin 7):
Device Ground. Connect
directly to the negative battery terminal. Exposed pad may
be left open or connected to device ground.
SCL (Pin 3):
Serial Bus Clock Input.
SDA (Pin 4):
Serial Bus Data Input and Output.
AL/CC
(Pin 5):
Alert Output or Charge Complete Input.
Configured either as an SMBus alert output or charge
complete input by control register bits B[2:1]. At power-up,
the pin defaults to alert mode conforming to the SMBus
alert response protocol. It behaves as an open-drain logic
output that pulls to GND when a value in the threshold
registers is exceeded.
When configured as a charge complete input, connect
to the charge complete output from the battery charger
circuit. A high level at CC sets the value of the accumulated
charge (registers C, D) to FFFFh.
SENSE
–
(Pin 6):
Negative Current Sense Input. Connect
SENSE
–
to the positive battery terminal side of the sense
resistor. The voltage between SENSE
–
and SENSE
+
must
remain within ±50mV in normal operation.
