Measure Charge, Voltage and Temperature
For applications requiring accurate battery gas gauging, the LTC®2941 and LTC2942 coulomb counters provide tiny and
easy-to-use solutions. The LTC2941/LTC2942 use a continuous-time analog integrator, resulting in minimal offset and gain error
and better overall charge accuracy. The bidirectional analog integrator accommodates both battery charge and discharge, and
a programmable prescaler allows for a wide range of battery capacities. The LTC2942 incorporates a 14-bit ∆∑ ADC to measure
battery voltage and die temperature. The LTC2941-1 and LTC2942-1 also integrate a 50mΩ sense resistor to provide up to ±1A
measurement range. Charge, voltage* and temperature* are all communicated to the host system over an I2C/SMBus
compatible interface.

Power Manager Products for Li-Ion Batteries
The LTC2941/LTC2942 battery gas gauges
are ideal companions to Linear Technology’s
extensive family of single-cell Li-Ion battery
chargers and USB power managers. Pairing
with the LTC4099 I2C controlled USB power
manager/charger provides a powerful
combination that enables I2C programmability of
charge functions and complete I2C monitoring of
battery state-of-charge information.

USB Power Managers for 1-Cell Li-Ion/Polymer Batteries
The LTC4099’s switchmode topology features
PowerPath™ control, which seamlessly manages
power flow between a wall adapter or USB port
and the device’s Li-Ion/Polymer battery, while
preferentially providing power to the system
load. This revolutionary input current-limited
switching regulator design allows higher charge
current than conventional linear approaches,
while meeting USB specifications.
