5.1μA Multi-Cell Fuel Gauge

with ModelGauge m5 EZ

General Description

The MAX17261 is an ultra-low power fuel gauge IC which

implements the Maxim ModelGauge™ m5 algorithm. The

IC monitors a multiple-series cell battery pack with an ex-

ternal resistor divider.

The ModelGauge m5 EZ algorithm makes fuel gauge im-

plementation easy by eliminating battery characterization

requirements and simplifying host software interac-

tion. The algorithm provides tolerance against battery di-

versity for most lithium batteries and applications.

The algorithm combines the short-term accuracy and lin-

earity of a coulomb counter with the long-term stability of

a voltage-based fuel gauge, along with temperature com-

pensation to provide industry-leading fuel gauge accura-

cy. The IC automatically compensates for cell-aging, tem-

perature, discharge rate, and provides accurate state-of-

charge (SOC) in percentage (%) and remaining capacity

in milliampere-hours (mAh) over a wide range of operat-

ing conditions. As the battery approaches the critical re-

gion near empty, the algorithm invokes a special correc-

tion mechanism that eliminates any error. The IC provides

accurate estimation of time-to-empty and time-to-full and

provides three methods for reporting the age of the bat-

tery: reduction in capacity, increase in battery resistance,

and cycle odometer.

The IC provides precision measurements of current, volt-

age, and temperature. The temperature of the battery

pack is measured using an internal temperature sensor or

external thermistor. A 2-wire I2C interface provides access

to data and control registers. The IC is available in a tiny

lead-free 0.4mm pitch, 1.5mm x 1.5mm, 9-pin WLP pack-

age and 3mm x 3mm, 14-pin TDFN package.
