LTC2942-1
1A Battery Gas Gauge with
Internal Sense Resistor and
Temperature/Voltage
Measurement
DescripTion
The LTC
®
2942-1 measures battery charge state, battery
voltage and chip temperature in 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 an internal sense
resistor between the battery’s positive terminal and the
load or charger. Battery voltage and on-chip temperature
are measured with an internal 14-bit No Latency
∆Σ™
ADC. The three measured quantities (charge, voltage and
temperature) are stored in internal registers accessible via
the onboard SMBus/I
2
C interface.
The LTC2942-1 features programmable high and low
thresholds for all three measured quantities. If a pro-
grammed threshold is exceeded, the device communicates
an alert using either the SMBus alert protocol or by setting
a flag in the internal status register.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.

GND unless otherwise specified

Note 4:
The equivalent charge of an LSB in the accumulated charge
register depends on the setting of the internal prescaling factor M:

=
0.085mAh •
M

See Choosing Coulomb Counter Prescaler M section for more information.
1mAh = 3.6C (Coulombs).
Note 5:
Deviation of q

from its nominal value. Data is for a new device
and does not include long-term sense resistor aging. See the Internal
Sense Resistor section for more information.
Note 6:
The quantization step of the 14-bit ADC in voltage mode and
10-bit ADC in temperature mode is not to be mistaken with the LSB of the
combined 16-bit voltage registers (I, J) and 16-bit temperature registers
(M, N).
Note 7:
C
B
= Capacitance of one bus line in pF (10pF ≤ C
B
≤ 400pF). See
Voltage and Temperature Registers section for more information.
Note 8:
Guaranteed by design, not subject to test.
Note 9:
Value decreases if exposed pad is soldered to large copper area.
See Power Dissipation section for more information.
Note 10:
Use for scaling of temperature reading only. Do not use part
outside operating temperature range.
