DescripTion
The LTC
®
2942 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 a 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 ∆∑™ 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 features programmable high and low thresh-
olds for all three measured quantities. If a programmed
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 LTC2942 requires only a single low value sense resis-
tor to set the measured current range.

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).
