end-of-charge and endof-discharge determination
►On-board integrated current accumulator facilitates fuel gauging
Elapsed time meter in binary format 40-byte nonvolatile user memory
available for storage of battery-specific data
►Operating range -40ºC to +85ºC
►Applications include portable computers, portable/cellular phones,
consumer electronics, and handheld instrumentation
DESCRIPTION The DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor provides several functions that
are desirable to carry in a battery pack: a means of tagging a
battery pack with a unique serial number, a direct-to-digital
temperature sensor which eliminates the need for thermistors in the
battery pack, an A/D converter which measures the battery voltage
and current, an integrated current accumulator which keeps a
running total of all current going into and out of the battery, an
elapsed time meter, and 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM memory for
storage of important parameters such as battery chemistry, battery
capacity, charging methodology and assembly date. Information is
sent to/from the DS2438 over a 1-Wire interface, so that only one
wire (and ground) needs to be connected from a central
microprocessor to a DS2438. This means that battery packs need only
have three output connectors: battery power, ground, and the 1-Wire
interface.
