Cell balancing FET driver output N (N = 1 to 6). An internal FET between the CBN and the VCELL(N - 1) can be
turned on to discharge CELLN more than other cells, or to shunt some of the charging current away from CELLN.
This function is used to reduce the voltage on an individual cell relative to other cells in the pack. The cell
balancing FETs are turned on or off by an external controller, using the I2C interface.

VSS
17
ISREF
Current sense reference. This input provides a separate reference point for the charge and discharge current
monitoring circuits. WIth a separate reference connection, it is possible to minimize errors that result from
voltage drops on the ground lead when the load is drawing large currents. If a separate reference is not
necessary, connect this pin to VSS.
18
DSENSE
Discharge current sense monitor. This input monitors the discharge current by monitoring a voltage across a
sense resistor, or across the discharge path FET, or by using a FET with a current sense pin. The voltage on this
pin is measured with reference to ISREF.
19
CSENSE
Charge current sense monitor. This input monitors the charge current by monitoring a voltage across a sense
resistor, or the voltage across the charge path FET, or by using a FET with a current sense pin. The voltage on
this pin is measured with reference to ISREF.
20
DFET
Discharge FET control. The ISL94208 controls the gate of a discharge path FET through this pin. The power FET
is an N-Channel device. The FET is turned on only by the microcontroller. The FET can be turned off by the
microcontroller, but the ISL94208 also turns off the FET in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit condition.
If the microcontroller detects an undervoltage condition on any of the battery cells, it can turn off the discharge
FET by controlling this output with a control bit.
21
CFET
Charge FET control. The ISL94208 controls the gate of a charge path FET through this pin. The power FET is an
N-Channel device. The FET is turned on only by the microcontroller. The FET can be turned off by the
microcontroller, but the ISL94208 also turns off the FET in the event of an overcurrent condition. If the
microcontroller detects an overvoltage condition on any of the battery cells, it can turn off the FET by controlling
this output with a control bit.
22
VMON
Discharge load monitoring. In the event of an overcurrent or short circuit condition, the microcontroller can
enable an internal resistor that connects between the VMON pin and VSS. When the FETs open because of an
overcurrent or short circuit condition and the load remains, the voltage at VMON will be near the VCC voltage.
When the load is released, the voltage at VMON drops below a threshold indicating that the overcurrent or short
circuit condition is resolved. At this point, the LDFAIL flag is cleared and operation can resume.
23
AO
Analog multiplexer output. The analog output pin is used to monitor the cell voltages and temperature sensor
voltages. An external microcontroller selects the specific voltage being applied to the output by writing to a
control register.
25
TEMP3V
Temperature monitor output control. This pin outputs a voltage to be used in a divider that consists of a fixed
resistor and a thermistor. The thermistor is located in close proximity to the battery cells. The TEMP3V output is
connected internally to the RGO voltage through a PMOS switch only during a measurement of the temperature,
otherwise the TEMP3V output is off. The TEMP3V output can be turned on continuously with a special control bit.
Microcontroller wake up control. The TEMP3V pin is also turned on when any of the DSC, DOC, or COC bits are
set. This can be used to wake up a sleeping microcontroller to respond to overcurrent conditions with its own
control mechanism.
24
TEMPI
Temperature monitor input. The voltage across a thermistor is monitored at this pin to determine the
temperature of the battery cells. When this input drops below TEMP3V/13, an external over-temperature
condition is reported. The TEMPI voltage can be fed to the AO output pin through an analog multiplexer to be
monitored by the microcontroller.
26
RGO
Regulated output voltage. This pin connects to the emitter of an external NPN transistor and works in
conjunction with the RGC pin to provide a regulated 3.3V. The voltage at this pin provides feedback for the
regulator and power for many of the ISL94208 internal circuits as well as providing the 3.3V output voltage for
the microcontroller and other external circuits.
27
RGC
Regulated output control. This pin connects to the base of an external NPN transistor and works in conjunction
with the RGO pin to provide a regulated 3.3V. The RGC output provides the control signal for the external
transistor to provide the 3.3V regulated voltage on the RGO pin.
28
WKUP
Wake up voltage. This input wakes up the part when the voltage crosses a turn-on threshold (wake up is edge
triggered). The condition of the pin is reflected in the WKUP bit (the WKUP bit is level sensitive).
WKPOL bit = “1”: the device wakes up on the rising edge of the WKUP pin. Also, the WKUP bit is HIGH only when
the WKUP pin voltage > threshold.
WKPOL bit = “0”, the device wakes up on the falling edge of the WKUP pin. Also, the WKUP bit is HIGH only when
the WKUP pin voltage < threshold.
29
SDA
Serial Data. This is the bidirectional data line for an I2C interface. This pin should be pulled up to 3.3V using a
resistor.
Ground. This pin connects to the most negative terminal in the battery string.

NOTES:
7. Compliance to data sheet limits is assured by one or more methods: production test, characterization and/or design.
8. Power-up of the device requires VBACK and VCC to be above the limits specified.
9. The device provides an internal hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal to bridge the unidentified region of the falling edge of SCL.
10. Maximum output capacitance = 15pF.
11. These are I2C specific parameters and are not production tested. However, they are used to set conditions for testing to validate specification.
12. Limits should be considered typical and are not production tested.

NOTES:
13. A “1” written to a control or configuration bit causes the action to be taken. A “1” read from a status bit indicates that the condition exists.
14. “Reserved” indicates that the bit or register is reserved for future expansion. When writing to addresses 2, 3, 4, and 8: write a reserved bit with the
value “0”. Do not write to reserved registers at addresses 09H through FFH. Ignore reserved bits that are returned in a read operation.
15. These status bits are automatically cleared when the register is read. All other status bits are cleared when the condition is cleared.
16. This SLEEP bit is cleared on initial power up, by the WKUP pin going high (when WKPOL = ”1”), by the WKUP pin going low (when WKPOL = ”0”), or by
writing a “0” to the location with an I2C command.
17. When the automatic responses are enabled, these bits are automatically reset by hardware when an overcurrent or short circuit condition turns off
the FETs. At all other times, an I2C write operation controls the output to the respective FET and a read returns the current state of the FET drive output
circuit (though not the actual voltage at the output pin).

Force Sleep
Setting this bit to “1” forces the device to go into a sleep condition. This turns off both FET outputs,
the cell balance outputs and the voltage regulator. This also resets the CFET, DFET, and
CB6ON:CB1ON bits. The SLEEP bit is automatically reset to “0” when the device wakes up. This bit
does not reset the AO3:AO0 bits (if the WKUP pin is Active, when attempting to put the device into

initiate sleep).

ISL94208
Device Description
Instructed by the microcontroller, the ISL94208 performs cell
voltage monitoring and cell balancing operations, overcurrent
and short circuit monitoring with automatic pack shutdown using
built-in selectable time delays, and automatic turn off of the
power FETs and cell balancing FETs in an over-temperature
condition. All automatic functions of the ISL94208 can be turned
off and the microcontroller can manage the operations through
software.
Battery Connection
The ISL94208 supports packs of 4 to 6 series connected Li-ion
cells. One recommended connection, with input filtering
components, for six cells is shown in Figure 2.

VBACK
System Power-Up/Power-Down
The ISL94208 powers up when the voltage on VBACK and VCC
both exceed their POR threshold. At this time, the ISL94208
wakes up and turns on the RGO output.
RGO provides a regulated 3.3VDC ±10% voltage at pin RGO. It
does this by using a control voltage on the RGC pin to drive an
external NPN transistor (see Figure 4). The transistor should have
a beta of at least 70 to provide ample current to the device and
external circuits and should have a breakdown voltage greater
than 30V (preferably 50V). The voltage at the emitter of the NPN
transistor is monitored and regulated to 3.3V by the control
signal RGC. RGO also powers most of the ISL94208 internal
circuits. A 500Ω resistor is recommended in the collector of the
NPN transistor to minimize initial current surge when the
regulator turns on.
Once powered up, the device remains in a wake up state until put
to sleep by the microcontroller (typically when the cells drop too
low in voltage) or until the VBACK or VCC voltages drop below their
POR threshold.

There are two ways to design a wake up of the ISL94208.

In an active Low connection (WKPOL = “0” - default), the device
wakes up when the WKUP pin goes Low when compared to a
reference based on the VBACK voltage. This normally happens in a
pack when a charger connects to the battery terminals.

To put the part to sleep, when configured as an active Low WKUP,
if the WKUP pin is High, then a single rising edge on the SLEEP
bit puts the part to sleep. However, if the WKUP pin is Low, the
device needs to see a falling edge of the SLEEP bit (or the WKUP
pin needs to be pulled High), before the rising edge of the SLEEP
bit can force the device into the Sleep mode. A WKUP/Sleep
Timing timing diagram for WKPOL = 0 is shown in Figure 7. See
an example wake up circuit in Figure 5.

In an active High connection (WKPOL = ‘1’) the device wakes up
when the WKUP pin is pulled high, normally by a connection
through an external switch.
To put the part to sleep, when configured as an active High
WKUP, if the WKUP pin is Low, then a single rising edge on the
SLEEP bit puts the part to sleep. However, if the WKUP pin is
High, the device needs to see a falling edge of the SLEEP bit, (or
the WKUP pin needs to be pulled Low), before the rising edge of
the SLEEP bit can force the device into the Sleep mode. A WKUP/
Sleep Timing timing diagram for WKPOL = 1 is shown in Figure 8.
See an example wake up circuit, using the microcontroller to
control wake up, in Figure 7.
In either active Low or active High wake up, there is a filter that
ignores WKUP pulses that are shorter than a tWKUP period. If the
device is in SLEEP mode when the WKUP signal goes active, then
the regulator turns on to power the wake up circuits. However, the
part is not fully awake, it is in a pseudo sleep mode, until the Wake
up condition is latched, after which the device is fully active.

ISL94208
Protection Functions
In the default recommended condition, the ISL94208
automatically responds to discharge overcurrent, discharge short
circuit, charge overcurrent, internal over-temperature, and
external over-temperature conditions. The designer can set
optional over-ride conditions that allow the response to be
dictated by the microcontroller. These are discussed in the
following.
Overcurrent Safety Functions
The ISL94208 continually monitors the discharge current by
monitoring the voltage at the CSENSE and DSENSE pins. If that
voltage exceeds a selected value for a time exceeding a selected
delay, then the device enters an overcurrent or short circuit
protection mode. In these modes, the ISL94208 automatically
turns off both power FETs and hence prevents current from
flowing through the terminals P+ and P-. See Figure 20 on
page 33.
The voltage thresholds and the response times of the overcurrent
protection circuits are selectable for discharge overcurrent,
charge overcurrent, and discharge short circuit conditions. The
specific settings are determined by bits in the Discharge Set
Configuration Register (ADDR:05H) on page 20, and the Charge/
Time Scale Configuration Scale Register (ADDR:06H) on
page 21. In addition, refer to “Registers” on page 16.
In an overcurrent condition, the ISL94208 automatically turns off
the voltage on CFET and DFET pins. The DFET output drives the
discharge FET gate low, turning off the FET quickly. The CFET output
turns off and allows the gate of the charge FET to be pulled low
through a resistor.
By turning off the FETs the ISL94208 prevents damage to the
battery pack caused by excessive current into or out of to the cells
(as in the case of a faulty charger or short circuit condition).
When the ISL94208 detects a discharge overcurrent condition, both
power FETs are turned off and the DOC bit is set. When the FETs are
turned off, the DFET and CFET bits are also reset. The automatic
response to overcurrent during discharge is prevented by setting the
DENOCD bit to “1”. The external microcontroller can turn on the FETs
at any time to recover from this condition, but it would usually turn
on the load monitor function first (by setting the LDMONEN bit) and
monitor the LDFAIL bit to detect that the overcurrent condition has
been removed.
When the ISL94208 detects a discharge short circuit condition, both
power FETs are turned off and DSC bit is set. When the FETs are
turned off, the DFET and CFET bits are also reset. The automatic
response to short circuit during discharge is prevented by setting the
DENSCD bit to “1”. The external microcontroller can turn on the FETs
at any time to recover from this condition, but it would usually turn
on the load monitor function first (by setting the LDMONEN bit) and
monitor the LDFAIL bit to detect that the overcurrent condition has
been removed.
When the ISL94208 detects a charge overcurrent condition, both
power FETs are turned off and COC bit is set. When the FETs are
turned off, the DFET and CFET bits are also reset. The automatic
response to overcurrent during discharge is prevented by setting the
DENOCC bit to “1”. The external microcontroller can turn on the FETs
26
at any time to recover from this condition, but it would usually wait
to do this until the cell voltages are not overcharged and that the
overcurrent condition has been removed (or the microcontroller
could wait until the pack is removed from the charger and then
re-attached).
An alternative method of providing the protection function, if desired
by the designer, is to turn off the automatic safety response. In this
case, the ISL94208 devices still monitor the conditions and set the
status bits, but takes no action in overcurrent or short circuit
conditions. Safety of the pack depends, instead, on the
microcontroller sending commands to the ISL94208 to turn off the
FETs.
To facilitate a microcontroller response to an overcurrent condition,
especially if the microcontroller is in a low power state, a charge
overcurrent flag (COC), a discharge overcurrent flag (DOC), or the
short circuit flag (DSC) being set causes the ISL94208 TEMP3V
output to turn on and pull high (see Figure 10). This output can be
used as an external interrupt by the microcontroller to wake-up
quickly to handle the overcurrent condition.

FIGURE 9. LOAD MONITOR CIRCUIT
Load Monitoring
The load monitor function in the ISL94208 (see Figure 9) is used
primarily to detect that the load has been removed following an
overcurrent or short circuit condition during discharge. This can
be used in a control algorithm to prevent the FETs from turning
on while the overload or short circuit condition remains.
The load monitor can also be used by the microcontroller
algorithms after an undervoltage condition on any cells causes
the FETs to turn off. Use of the load monitor prevents the FETs
from turning on while the load is still present. This minimizes the
possible “on-off-on cycles” that can occur when a load is applied
in a low capacity pack. It can also be part of a system protection
mechanism to prevent the load from turning on automatically i.e. some action must be taken before the pack is again turned
on.
FN8306.0
November 26, 2012
ISL94208
The load monitor circuit can be turned on or off by the
microcontroller. It is normally turned off to minimize current
consumption. It must be activated by the external microcontroller
for it to operate. The circuit works by internally connecting the
VMON pin to VSS through a resistor. The circuit operates as
shown in Figure 9.
In a typical pack operation, when an overcurrent or short circuit
event happens, the DFET turns off, opening the battery circuit to
the load. At this time, the RL is small and the load monitor is
initially off. In this condition, the voltage at VMON rises to nearly
the pack voltage.
Once the power FETs turn off, the microcontroller activates the
load monitor by setting the LDMONEN bit. This turns on an
internal FET that adds a pull down resistor to the load monitor
circuit. While still in the overload condition the combination of
the load resistor, an external adjustment resistor (R1), and the
internal load monitor resistor form a voltage divider. R1 is chosen
so that when the load is released to a sufficient level, the LDFAIL
condition is reset.
The diode in the VMON circuit is necessary to prevent the VMON
voltage from going negative with respect to VSS when a charger
connects between P+ and P- and the charger voltage is
significantly larger than the battery stack voltage.
Over-Temperature Safety Functions
EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE MONITORING
The external temperature is monitored by using a voltage divider
consisting of a fixed resistor and a thermistor. This divider is
powered by the ISL94208 TEMP3V output. This output is
normally controlled so it is on for only short periods to minimize
current consumption.
Without microcontroller intervention, and in the default state, the
ISL94208 provides an automatic temperature scan. This scan
circuit repeatedly turns on TEMP3V output (and the external
temperature monitor) for 5ms out of every 640ms. In this way,
the external temperature is monitored even if the microcontroller
is asleep.
When the TEMP3V output turns on, the ISL94208 waits 1ms for
the temperature reading to stabilize, then compares the external
temperature voltage with an internal voltage divider that is set to
TEMP3V/13. If the thermistor voltage is below the reference
threshold after the delay, an external temperature fail condition
exists. To set the external over-temperature limit, set the value of
RX resistor to the 12 times the resistance of the thermistor at the
desired over-temp threshold.
The TEMP3V output pin also turns on when the microcontroller
sets the AO3:AO0 bits to select that the external temperature
voltage. This causes the TEMPI voltage to be placed on AO and
activates (after 1ms) the over-temperature detection. As long as
the AO3:AO0 bits point to the external temperature, the TEMP3V
output remains on.
Because of the manual scan of the temperature, it may be
desired to turn off the automatic scan, although they can be used
at the same time without interference. To turn off the automatic
scan, set the ATMPOFF bit.
27
The microcontroller can over-ride both the automatic temperature
scan and the microcontroller controlled temperature scan by
setting the TEMP3ON configuration bit. This turns on the TEMP3V
output to keep the temperature control voltage on all the time, for
a continuous monitoring of an over-temperature condition. This
likely will consume a significant amount of current, so this feature
is usually used for special or test purposes.
PROTECTION
By default, when the ISL94208 detects an internal or external
over-temperature condition, the FETs are turned off, the cell
balancing function is disabled, and the IOT bit or XOT bit
(respectively) is set.
Turning off the FETs in the event of an over-temperature
condition prevents continued discharge or charge of the cells
when they are over heated. Turning off the cell balancing in the
event of an over-temperature condition prevents damage to the
IC in the event too many cells are being balanced, causing too
much power dissipation in the ISL94208.
In the event of an automatic over-temperature condition, cell
balancing is prevented and FETs are held off until the
temperature drops back below the temperature recovery
threshold. During this temperature shutdown period, the
microcontroller can monitor the internal temperature through the
analog output pin (AO), but any writes to the CFET bit, DFET bit, or
cell balancing bits are ignored
The automatic response to an internal over-temperature is
prevented by setting the DISITSD bit to “1”. The automatic
response to an external over-temperature is prevented by setting
the DISXTSD bit to “1”. In either case, it is important for the
microcontroller to monitor the internal and external temperature
to protect the pack and the electronics in an over-temperature
condition.
Analog Multiplexer Selection
The ISL94208 devices can be used to externally monitor
individual battery cell voltages and temperatures. Each quantity
can be monitored at the analog output pin (AO). The desired
voltage is selected using the I2C interface and the AO3:AO0 bits.
See Figure 11 and Table 5 on page 18. Remember to reset the
AO3:AO0 bits to ‘0000’ after measurements to minimize
unnecessary current draw from the cells.
Voltage Monitoring
Since the voltage on each of the Li-ion Cells are normally higher
than the regulated supply voltage, and since the voltages on the
upper cells is much higher than is tolerated by a microcontroller,
it is necessary to both level shift and divide the voltage before it
can be monitored by the microcontroller or an external A/D
converter. To get into the voltage range required by the external
circuits, the voltage level shifter divides the cell voltage by 2 and
references it to VSS. Therefore, a Li-ion cell with a voltage of 4.2V
becomes a voltage of 2.1V on the AO pin.
Temperature Monitoring
The voltage representing the external temperature applied at the
TEMPI terminal is directed to the AO terminal through a MUX, as
selected by the AO control bits (see Figures 10 and 11). The
FN8306.0
November 26, 2012
ISL94208
external temperature voltage is not divided by 2 as are the cell
voltages. Instead it is a direct reflection of the voltage at the
TEMPI pin.
A similar operation occurs when monitoring the internal
temperature through the AO output, except there is no external
“calibration” of the voltage associated with the internal
temperature. For the internal temperature monitoring, the
voltage at the output is linear with respect to temperature. See
“Electrical Specifications” on page 10 for information about the
output voltage at +25°C and the output slope relative to
temperature.
string. Without cell balancing, cells in a series string receive
nominally identical currents. A battery pack requires additional
components and circuitry to achieve cell balancing. For the
ISL94208 devices, the only external components required are
balancing resistors.

Cell Balancing
Overview
A typical ISL94208 Li-ion battery pack consists of four to six cells
in series, with one or more cells in parallel. This combination
gives both the voltage and power necessary for many battery
powered applications. While the series/parallel combination of
Li-ion cells is common, the configuration is not as efficient as it
could be, because any capacity mismatch between
series-connected cells reduces the overall pack capacity. This
mismatch is greater as the number of series cells and the load
current increase. Cell balancing techniques increase the
capacity, and the operating time, of Li-ion battery packs.
Definition of Cell Balancing
Cell balancing is defined as the application of differential
currents to individual cells (or combinations of cells) in a series

Cell Balance Operation
Cell balancing is accomplished through a microcontroller
algorithm. This algorithm compares the cell voltages (a
representation of the pack capacity) and turns on balancing for
the cells that have the higher voltages. There are many
parameters that should be considered when writing this
algorithm. An example cell balancing algorithm is available in
the ISL94208EVAL1Z evaluation kit.
The microcontroller turns on a specific cell balancing switch by
setting a bit in the Cell Balance Register. Each bit in the register
corresponds to one cell’s balancing control. When the bit is set,
an internal cell balancing FET turns on. This connects an external
resistor across the specified cell. The maximum current that can
be drawn from (or bypassed around) the cell is 200mA. This
current is set by selecting the value of the external resistor.
Figure 12 shows an example with a 200mA (maximum)
balancing current.
With lower balancing current, more balancing FETs can be turned
on at once, without exceeding the device power dissipation limits
or generating excessive balancing current that will heat the
external resistor.
External VMON/CFET Protection
Mechanisms
When there is a single charge/discharge path, a blocking diode
is recommended in the VMON to Pack- path in ISL94208
solution. See D1 in Figure 13. This diode is to protect against a
negative voltage on the VMON pin that can occur when the FETs
are off and the charger connects to the pack. This diode is not
FN8306.0

ISL94208
needed when there is a separate charge and discharge path,
because the voltages on Pack- (discharge) are always positive.
When the pack is designed with a single set of charge/discharge
FETs, the ISL94208 CFET pin should be protected in the event of
an overcurrent or short circuit shutdown. When this happens, the
FET opens suddenly. The flyback voltage from the motor windings
could exceed the maximum input voltage on the CFET pin.
Therefore, it is recommended that an additional external series
diode be placed between the CFET pin of the ISL94208 and the
gate of the Charge FET. See Diode D3 in Figure 13. This reduces
the CFET gate voltage, but not significantly.
Finally, to protect the Charge FET itself in the event of a large
negative voltage on the Pack- pin, zener diode D4 is added. A
large negative voltage can occur when the Pack- pin goes
significantly negative, while the CFET pin is being internally
clamped. The zener voltage of D4 should be less than the
VGS(max) specification of the FET.

User Flags
The ISL94208 contains four flags in the register area that the
microcontroller can use for general purpose indicators. These
bits are designated UFLG3, UFLG2, UFLG1, and UFLG0. The
microcontroller can set or reset these bits by writing into the
appropriate register.
The user flag bits are battery backed up (by the VBACK pin
voltage), so the contents remain even after exiting Sleep mode.
However, if the microcontroller sets the POR bit to force a power
on reset, all of the user flags are also reset. In addition, if the
voltage on VBACK ever drops below the POR voltage, the
contents of the user flags (as well as all other register values)
would be lost.
I2C Interface
Interface Conventions
The device provides an I2C communications interface. The
protocol defines any device that sends data onto the bus as a
transmitter, and the receiving device as the receiver. The device
controlling the transfer is called the Master and the device being
controlled is called the Slave. The Master always initiates data
transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and receive
operations. Therefore, the ISL94208 devices operate as slaves in
all applications.
When sending or receiving data, the convention is that the most
significant bit (MSB) is sent first. Therefore, the first address bit
sent is bit 7.
Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only while SCL is LOW.
SDA state changes while SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating
START and STOP conditions. See Figure 14.

Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the START condition, which is a
HIGH-to-LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The device
continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the START
condition and does not respond to any command until this
condition has been met. See Figure 15.

All communications must be terminated by a STOP condition,
which is a LOW-to-HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The
STOP condition is also used to place the device into the Standby
power mode after a Read sequence. A STOP condition is only
issued after the transmitting device has released the bus. See
Figure 15.

Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either Master
or Slave, releases the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the
ninth clock cycle, the receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to
acknowledge that it received the eight bits of data. See
Figure 16.

The device responds with an Acknowledge after recognition of a
START condition and the correct Slave byte. If a Write operation is
selected, the device responds with an Acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight bits. The device acknowledges
all incoming data and Address bytes, except for the Slave byte
when the contents do not match the device’s address.
In the Read mode, the device transmits eight bits of data,
releases the SDA line, then monitor the line for an Acknowledge.
If an acknowledge is detected and no STOP condition is
generated by the Master, the device continues transmitting data.
The device terminates further data transmissions if an
acknowledge is not detected. The Master must then issue a STOP
condition to return the device to Standby mode and place the
device into a known state.

Write Operations
Read Operations
For a Write operation, the device requires a Slave byte and a
Register Address byte. The Slave byte specifies the particular device
on the I2C bus that the Master is writing to. The Register Address
specifies one of the registers in that device. After receipt of each
byte, the device responds with an Acknowledge, and awaits the next
eight bits from the Master. After the Acknowledge, following the
transfer of data, the Master terminates the transfer by generating a
STOP condition (see Figure 17).
Read operations are initiated in the same manner as Write
operations with the host sending the address where the Read is
to begin (but no data). Then, the host sends an ACK, a repeated
START, and the Slave byte with the LSB = 1. After the device
acknowledges the Slave byte, the device sends out one bit of
data for each Master clock. After the slave sends eight bits to the
Master, the Master sends a NACK (Not acknowledge) to the
device, to indicate the data transfer is complete, then the master
sends a STOP bit (see Figure 18).
When receiving data from the Master, the value in the Data byte
is transferred into the register specified by the Register address
byte on the falling edge of the clock following the 8th data bit.
After sending the eighth data bit to the master, the device
automatically increments its internal address pointer. So the
master, instead of sending a NACK and the STOP bit, can send
additional clocks to read the contents of the next register without sending another Slave and Register Address byte.
SIGNALS
FROM THE
MASTER
After receiving the Acknowledge after the Data byte, the device
automatically increments the address. So, before sending the
STOP bit, the Master may send additional data to the device
without re-sending the Slave and Register Address bytes. After
writing to address 0AH, the address “wraps around” to address 0.
Do not continue to write to addresses higher than address 08H,
since these addresses access registers that are reserved. Writing
to these locations can result in unexpected device operation.

Register Protection
The Discharge Set, Charge Set, and Feature Set configuration
registers are write protected on initial power up. In order to write
to these registers it is necessary to set a bit to enable each one.
These write enable bits are in the Write Enable register (Address
08H).
1. Write the FSETEN bit (Addr 8:bit 7) to “1” to enable changes to
the data in the Feature Set register (Address 7).
3. Write the DISSETEN bit (Addr 8:bit 5) to “1” to enable changes
to the data in the Feature Set register (Address 5).
The microcontroller can reset these bits back to zero to prevent
inadvertent writes that change the operation of the pack.
Operation State Machine
Figure 19 shows a device state machine, which illustrates how
the ISL94208 responds to various conditions.
2. Write the CHSETEN bit (Addr 8:bit 6) to “1” to enable changes
to the data in the Feature Set register (Address 6).

PC Board Layout
Alternate VFET Power Supply
The AC performance of this circuit depends greatly on the care
taken in designing the PC board. The following are
recommendations to achieve optimum high performance from
your PC board.
The circuit in Figure 22 shows an alternate connection for
powering the Charge and Discharge FETs. If the designer is
concerned that the cells become unbalanced by supplying the
FET reference from only one or two cells, then a regulator can be
used that is powered by the full stack. In this case, the VFET 1 pin
needs a supply that is less than VFET2, but not zero. In the circuit
below, a 4.3V zener provides the desired reference.
• The use of low inductance components such as chip resistors
and chip capacitors is strongly recommended.
• Minimize signal trace lengths. This is especially true for the
CSENSE, DSENSE, and VCELL0-VCELL6 inputs. Trace
inductance and capacitance can easily affect circuit
performance.
• Match channel-channel analog I/O trace lengths and layout
symmetry. This is especially true for the DSENSE, CSENSE, and
ISREF lines, since their inputs are normally very low voltage.
• Maximize use of AC de-coupled PCB layers. All signal I/O lines
should be routed over continuous ground planes (i.e. no split
planes or PCB gaps under these lines). Avoid vias in the signal
I/O lines. Placing signal lines on internal layers with ground
planes on top and bottom of the board provides best immunity
to electromagnetic interference.
• When testing use good quality connectors and cables,
matching cable types and keeping cable lengths to a
minimum.
QFN Package
The QFN package requires additional PCB layout rules or the
Thermal Pad. The thermal pad is electrically connected to VSS
supply through the high resistance IC substrate. The thermal pad
provide heat sinking for the IC. If the design uses the RGO pin to
supply power to external components or if the device is balancing
significant current through the internal balance FETs, then the IC
can experience significant internal power dissipation. To deal
with this, careful layout of the thermal pad and the use of
thermal vias to direct the heat away from the IC is an important
consideration. Besides heat dissipation, the thermal pad also
provides noise reduction by providing a ground plane under the
IC.
35
This circuit provides another benefit. In the normal connection,
as the cells discharge, the voltages on VFET2 and VFET3 also
drop. When the difference between VFET2 nd VFET1 goes below
about 2.8V, the FET driver has a difficult time providing the
current to control the FETs. This limits the cell voltage to 2.8V.
However, by using the external regulator, the pack voltage can
drop to 8.6V (or a little below) and still provide adequate FET
drive. For a 6-cell pack, the minimum cell voltage is 1.4V per cell.
For a 4-cell pack, it is 2.15V per cell.
