DEMO MANUAL DC1496B

DESCRIPTION

LTC2941/LTC2942:

Battery Gas Gauge with I2C

Interface and 14-Bit ADC

Demonstration circuit 1496B-A (Figure 1) features the

LT C

2941. Demonstration circuit 1496B-B features the

LTC2942. Demonstration circuit 1496B-C features the

LTC2941-1. Demonstration circuit 1496B-D features the

LTC2942-1. The C, D options have parts that use an internal

sense resistor while the A, B options rely on an external

precision sense resistor. All four devices measure battery

charge state in handheld PC and portable product applica-

tions. The operating range is perfectly suited for single

cell Li-Ion batteries. A precision analog coulomb counter

integrates current through a sense resistor between the

battery’s positive terminal and the load or charger. The

LTC2942 adds battery voltage and on-chip temperature

measurement 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/I2C interface.

The LTC2941/LTC2941-1 has programmable high and

low thresholds for accumulated charge. The LTC2942/

LTC2942-1 has programmable high and low thresholds for

all three measured quantities. If a programmed threshold

is exceeded, the device reports an alert using either the L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and

SMBus alert protocol or by setting a ﬂag in the internal

status register.

The LTC2941 and LTC2942 require only a single low value

sense resistor to set the measured current range. The

LTC2941-1 and the LTC2942-1 have their own 50mΩ inter-

nal resistor. The default value assembled on the DC1496 is

100mΩ for a maximum current measurement of 500mA.

Both parts have a software-conﬁgurable charge complete/

alert pin. When the pin is set for charge complete, a jumper

connects the pushbutton whichsimulates a logic highinput

to indicate a full battery. When the pin is conﬁgured for

alert, the same jumper is used to connect a red LED that

indicates an alert is present. A change was made between

DC1496A and DC1496B to ﬂoat the exposed pad under

the LTC2941/LTC2942 in accordance with the data sheet

recommendations.

The DC1496B is a part of the QuikEval system for quick

evaluation with a host controller through a PC.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1496B is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC2941/LTC2942/LTC2941-1/

LTC2942-1. Refer to Figure 2 for proper measurement

equipment setup and follow the procedure below.

1. Connect a 1-cell Li-Ion battery across V_BAT and

GND.

2. Connect a load across V_CHRG/LD and GND for battery

discharge measurement. Up to 500mA supplied from

the battery can be measured with the board default

100mΩ sense resistor or 50mΩ internal resistor. Use

SENSE+and SENSE–test points to read voltage across

the sense resistor.

3. Connect a 2.7V to 5.5V battery charger supply across

V_CHRG/LD and GND. Up to 500mA supplied to the

battery can be measured with the board default 100mΩ

sense resistor. Use SENSE+and SENSE–test points to

read voltage across the sense resistor.

4. Connect a DC590 to 14-pin connector J1 for evaluation

with QuikEval, or connect a host controller I2C bus to

the SDA, SCL and GND test turrets.

5. Set JP1 to QuikEval if a DC590 is present. Otherwise

set JP1 to Bat/Chrg for bus pull-up to the battery, or

ﬂoat JP1 and supply a bus pull-up voltage to VP.

6. Read and write to the LTC2941/LTC2942 through I2C.

7. Through I2C, configure the AL/CC pin. Set JP2

accordingly.

8 If AL/CC is set for charge complete, use pushbutton

switch S1 to simulate a logic high from a controller to

indicate a fully charged battery.

QuikEval INTERFACE

The DC1496B can be connected to a DC590 and used

with the QuikEval software. The DC590 connects to a PC

through USB. QuikEval automatically detects the demo

board and brings up the LTC2941/LTC2942 evaluation

software interface (Figure 3).

Compact and Detailed Form

When the interface is brought up, a compact form is ﬁrst

shown with a display for the accumulated charge register

(ACR), voltage ADC and temperature ADC. To expand the

form for a more detailed display of the LTC2941/LTC2942/

LTC2941-1/LTC2942-1registers andboard conﬁgurations,

click on Detail. To go back to the compact form, click on

Hide.

Start/Refresh

Click on Start to begin a polling routine that refreshes the

interface every 1 second. Click on Stop to halt the poll-

ing. For a single update, click on Refresh. Each refresh

scans through the internal I2C registers and updates the

respective displays.

LTC2941 and LTC2942 Display

On a refresh or poll, the software reads Status bit A[7]

to determine communication with an LTC2941, LTC2942,

LTC2941-1 or LTC2942-1. When an LTC2941 is detected,

the voltage and temperature ADC and threshold displays

are not shown. Control bits B[7:6] conﬁgure VBAT Alert

for the LTC2941 and ADC Mode for the LTC2942.

ACR Display

The data in the ACR (registers C and D) is displayed in one

of three selected formats: Counter in coulombs, Counter

in mA • hour, battery gas gauge in mA • hour, and battery

gas gauge in charge percentage of battery. The two gas

gauge displays correspond to the battery gas gauge full

battery conﬁguration set in the detailed form.

Voltage and Temperature ADC (LTC2942, LTC2942-1)

Data from the Voltage ADC (registers I and J) and the

Temperature ADC (registers M and N) is displayed here

in Volts and Celsius.

Address/I2C Status

The write address for the LTC2941/LTC2942/LTC2941-1/

LTC2942-1 is C8h and the read address is C9h. The

alert response address (ARA) is 19h. If an error occurs

while reading from the LTC2941/LTC2942/LTC2941-1/

LTC2942-1, the I2C status will read as an error. Otherwise,

the status is good. If the LTC2941/LTC2942/LTC2941-1/

LTC2942-1 AL/CC pin is set for alert mode and an alert

has been latched, the device will pull down this pin. Click

on ARA to send out an ARA on to the bus lines and the

device will respond with its address. The Alert pin will then

be cleared if the alert is no longer present.

Status

The individual status bits A[0:7] and their states are shown

here. A red indicator next to bits A[0:5] indicates the re-

spective alert is currently present and will latch the Alert

pin if conﬁgured for alert. Bit A[7] shows if an LTC2941,

LTC2942, LTC2941-1 or LTC2942-1 is detected.

Sense Resistor

Enter here the sense resistor value used in the application.

The default for the DC1496B is a 100mΩ sense resistor.

Check LTC2941-1/LTC2942-1 if one of these devices is

used in place of the default IC. This sets the sense resistor

value to 50mΩ, the value of the internal sense resistor

in these devices. The sense resistor can only be changed

when not polling. The software only accepts sense resis-

tors between 0.1mΩ to 5Ω.

Battery Gas Gauge

The battery capacity in the application is entered here. The

ACR full scale (FFFFh) is set to this value and affects the

two Gas Gauge ACR display options. Instead of counting

up from 0 as in the Coulomb Counters, the Gas Gauge

is used to count down from a full battery. The battery

capacity can only be entered when not polling. The data

in the ACR when a battery should be empty is calculated

based off of RSENSE, and pre-scaler M, and displayed in

hexadecimal below the ACR full scale.

Control

Conﬁgurations done in the Control section write to the

Control register (register B). For the LTC2941, the Control

bits B[7:6] enables a battery monitor to one of three set

voltage thresholds (2.8V, 2.9V, or 3V) or disables this

battery voltage alert. The ADC mode with the LTC2942 is

default to Sleep where both Voltage and Temperature ADCs

(LTC2942) are disabled. Setting ADC Mode to Automatic

Mode enables full-time the Voltage and Temperature ADC.

Selecting Manual Voltage or Temperature mode enables

the respective ADC once and returns the ADC to Sleep

mode.

Select a pre-scaler M value to scale the ACR according

to battery capacity and maximum current. Changing the

pre-scaler will halt the poll. A calculator tool is provided

in the tool bar under Tools to assist in calculating a pre-

scaler value and sense resistor (Figure 4).

The AL#/CC pin can be conﬁgured for Alert mode, Charge

Complete mode, or disabled. Select the corresponding

settings on the DC1496B jumper J2.

The Shutdown Analog Section is checked to disable the

Analog portion of the LTC2941/42/41-1/42-1 and set the

device in a low current state.

Data in the internal registers of the LTC2941/LTC2942/

LTC2941-1/LTC2942-1 is displayed here in hexadecimal

or appropriate units. Data can also be entered and written

to the write registers. Enter data to be written in hexa-

decimal, or select Unit and enter data in decimal form.

Data in decimal scale is auto corrected if the maximum

or minimum full scale is exceeded. Select the ACR display

in Counter (Coulombs) to be able to write to the ACR and

charge thresholds in Coulombs, or select Counter (mAh)

to be able to write to the ACR and charge thresholds in

mA • hour. Voltage and Temperature High thresholds are

rounded down in the calculations to the nearest lower

count, while the low thresholds are rounded up to nearest

higher count. Switching back and forth between Hex and

Unit can be used as a conversion tool.

The LSB value for the 16-bit ACR and charge thresholds

is displayed on the bottom. This value is adjusted with the

sense resistor and pre-scaler M. The units are in mAh or

mC depending on the selected ACR display. Shown for the

LTC2942/LTC2942-1 is the LSB for the 14-bit voltage ADC,

10-bit temperature ADC, and 8-bit high and low thresholds

for voltage and temperature.

Calculator Tool

A calculator tool is available in the tool bar options under

Tools. In this calculator (Figure 4), enter the maximum cur-

rent passed through the sense and the maximum battery

capacity. Click on Calculate to calculate a recommended

sense resistor and pre-scaler (M) value. The display shows

the battery capacity in comparison to ACR full scale and

provides an LSB value in mAh. Also shown is the recom-

mended equation to use to determine an appropriate sense

resistor as a function of the maximum battery charge and

maximum current.
