ISL9208 ® Data Sheet November 2, 2007 Multi-Cell Li-ion Battery Pack OCP/Analog Front End The ISL9208 is an overcurrent protection device and analog front end for a microcontroller in a multi-cell Li-ion battery pack. The ISL9208 supports battery pack configurations consisting of 5-cells to 7-cells in series and 1 or more cells in parallel. The ISL9208 provides integral overcurrent protection circuitry, short circuit protection, an internal 3.3V voltage regulator, internal cell balancing switches, cell voltage monitor level shifters, and drive circuitry for external FET devices for control of pack charge and discharge. FN6446.1 Features • Software selectable overcurrent protection levels and variable protect detection times - 4 discharge overcurrent thresholds - 4 short circuit thresholds - 4 charge overcurrent thresholds - 8 overcurrent delay times (Charge) - 8 overcurrent delay times (Discharge) - 2 short circuit delay times (Discharge) • Automatic FET turn-off and cell balance disable on reaching external (battery) or internal (IC) temperature limit. Selectable overcurrent and short circuit thresholds reside in internal RAM registers. An external microcontroller sets the thresholds by setting register values through an I2C serial interface. Internal registers also contain the detection delays for overcurrent and short circuit conditions. • Automatic override of cell balance on reaching internal (IC) temperature limit. Using an internal analog multiplexer the ISL9208 provides monitoring of each cell voltage plus internal and external temperature by a separate microcontroller with an A/D converter. Software on this microcontroller implements all battery pack control functionality, except for overcurrent and short circuit shutdown. • Four battery backed software controlled flags.

This pin is used to monitor the voltage of this battery cell externally at pin AO. This pin also provides the operating voltage for the IC circuitry. VCELLN Battery cell N voltage input. This pin is used to monitor the voltage of this battery cell externally at pin AO. VCELLN connects to the positive terminal of CELLN and the negative terminal of CELLN + 1. CBN Cell balancing FET control output N. This internal FET diverts a fraction of the current around a cell while the cell is being charged or adds to the current pulled from a cell during discharge in order to perform a cell voltage balancing operation. This function is generally 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. VSS Ground. This pin connects to the most negative terminal in the battery string. DSREF Discharge 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. DSENSE Discharge current sense monitor. This input monitors the discharge current by monitoring a voltage. It can monitor the voltage across a sense resistor, or the voltage across the DFET, or by using a FET with a current sense pin. The voltage on this pin is measured with reference to DSREF. CSENSE Charge current sense monitor. This input monitors the charge current by monitoring a voltage. It can monitor the voltage across a sense resistor, or the voltage across the CFET, or by using a FET with a current sense pin. The voltage on this pin is measured with reference to VSS. DFET Discharge FET control. The ISL9208 controls the gate of a discharge FET through this pin. The power FET is a N-Channel device. The FET is turned on only by the microcontroller. The FET can be turned off by the microcontroller, but the ISL9208 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. CFET Charge FET control. The ISL9208 controls the gate of a charge FET through this pin. The power FET is a N-Channel device. The FET is turned on only by the microcontroller. The FET can be turned off by the microcontroller, but the ISL9208 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. 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. AO Analog multiplexer output. The analog output pin is used by an external microcontroller to monitor the cell voltages and temperature sensor voltages. The microcontroller selects the specific voltage being applied to the output by writing to a control register. 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 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. TEMPI Temperature monitor input. This pin inputs the voltage across a thermistor to determine the temperature of the cells. When this input drops below TEMP3V/13, an external over-temperature condition exists. The TEMPI voltage is also fed to the AO output pin through an analog multiplexer so the temperature of the cells can be monitored by the microcontroller. RGO Regulated output voltage. This pin connects to the emitter of an external NPN transistor and works in conjunction with the RGC pin to provides a regulated 3.3V. The voltage at this pin provides feedback for the regulator and power for many of the ISL9208 internal circuits as well as providing the 3.3V output voltage for the microcontroller and other external circuits. 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. 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. SDA Serial Data. This is the bidirectional data line for an I2C interface. SCL Serial Clock. This is the clock input for an I2C communication link. 3 FN6446.1 November 2, 2007 ISL9208 Absolute Maximum Ratings Thermal Information Power Supply Voltage, VCC . . . . . . . . . .VSS - 0.5V to VSS + 36.0V Cell voltage, VCELL VCELLN - (VCELLN-1), VCELL1-VSS . . . . . . . . . . . . . -0.5V to 5V Terminal Voltage, VTERM1 (SCL, SDA, CSENSE, DSENSE, TEMPI, RGO, AO, TEMP3V) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Device Description System Power-Up/Power-Down Design Theory Instructed by the microcontroller, the ISL9208 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 ISL9208 can be turned off and the microcontroller can manage the operations through software. Battery Connection The ISL9208 supports packs of 5 to 7 series connected Li-ion cells. Connection guidelines for each cell combination are shown in Figure 1. The ISL9208 powers up when the voltages on VCELL1, VCELL2, VCELL3, and VCC all exceed their POR threshold. At this time, the ISL9208 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 2.) The transistor should have a beta of at least 70 to provide ample current to the device and external circuits and should have a VCE of 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 ISL9208 internal circuits. A 500Ω resistor is recommended in the collector of the NPN transistor to minimize initial current surge when the regulator turns on. 7 CELLS 6 CELLS 5 CELLS VCELL7 VCELL7 VCELL7 CB7 VCELL6 CB7 VCELL6 CB7 VCELL6 CB6 VCELL5 CB6 VCELL5 CB6 VCELL5 CB5 VCELL4 CB5 VCELL4 CB5 VCELL4 CB4 VCELL3 CB4 VCELL3 CB4 VCELL3 CB3 VCELL2 CB3 VCELL2 CB3 VCELL2 CB2 VCELL1 CB2 VCELL1 CB2 VCELL1 RGC CB1 VSS CB1 VSS CB1 VSS RGO 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 VCELL1, VCELL2, VCELL3, or VCC voltages drop below their POR threshold.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUITS 17 FN6446.1 November 2, 2007 ISL9208 WKUP Pin Operation There are two ways to design a wake up of the ISL9208. In an active LOW connection (WKPOL = “0” - default), the device wakes up when a charger is connected to the pack. This pulls the WKUP pin low when compared to a reference based on the VCELL1 voltage. In an active HIGH connection (WKPOL = ‘1’) the device wakes up when the WKUP pin is pulled high by a connection through an external switch.

WAKE UP CONTROL CIRCUITS Protection Functions In the default recommended condition, the ISL9208 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 below. OVERCURRENT SAFETY FUNCTIONS The ISL9208 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 ISL9208 automatically turns off both power FETs and hence prevents current from flowing through the terminals P+ and P-. 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 15, and the Charge/Time Scale Configuration Scale Register (ADDR:06H) on page 16. In addition, refer to “Registers” on page 12. 18 In an overcurrent condition, the ISL9208 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 ISL9208 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 ISL9208 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 (by setting the LDMONEN bit) and monitor the LDFAIL bit to detect that the overcurrent condition has been removed. When the ISL9208 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 (by setting the LDMONEN bit) and monitor the LDFAIL bit to detect that the overcurrent condition has been removed. When the ISL9208 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 at any time to recover from this condition, but it would usually wait to do this until the cell voltages are not over charged 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 ISL9208 devices still monitor the conditions and set the status bits, but take no action in overcurrent or short circuit conditions. Safety of the pack depends, instead, on the microcontroller to send commands to the ISL9208 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 ISL9208 TEMP3V output to turn on and pull high. (See Figure 5.) This output can be used as an external interrupt by the microcontroller to wake-up quickly to handle the overcurrent condition. FN6446.1 November 2, 2007 ISL9208 P+ VSS RL 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. OPEN OVER-TEMPERATURE SAFETY FUNCTIONS P- POWER FETs R1 ISL9208 VMON VREF 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 ISL9208 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 ISL9208 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. LDFAIL = 1 if VMON >VVMONH = 0 if VMON ≤ VVMONL LDMONEN VSS FIGURE 4. LOAD MONITOR CIRCUIT LOAD MONITORING The load monitor function in the ISL9208 (see Figure 4) 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 “oscillations” 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. 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 shown as in Figure 4. 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 19 When the TEMP3V output turns on, the ISL9208 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. When the thermistor voltage is below the reference threshold after the delay, an external temperature fail condition exists. To set the external overtemperature limit, set the value of RX resistor to the 12 times the resistance of the thermistor at the 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. 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 As a default, when the ISL9208 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.

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 6. ATMPOFF R 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. CHARGE OC DISCHARGE OC DISCHARGE SC 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 OSC ISL9208 I2C OVERCURRENT PROTECTION CIRCUITS 508ms I2C REGISTERS 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 ISL9208. EXTERNAL TEMP MONITOR XOT VSS TEMP FAIL INDICATOR FIGURE 5. EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND CONTROL 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. SCL SDA I2C 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.

OVERVIEW A typical ISL9208 Li-ion battery pack consists of five to seven cells in series, with one or more cells in parallel. This combination gives both the voltage and power necessary for power tool, e-bikes, electric wheel chairs, portable medical equipment, and battery powered industrial 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 string. Normally, of course, cells in a series string receive identical currents. A battery pack requires additional components and circuitry to achieve cell balancing. For the ISL9208 devices, the only external components required are balancing resistors. 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 ISL9208EVAL1Z evaluation kit. The microcontroller turns on the specific cell balancing 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 shorts 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 7 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 P- path in ISL9208 solution. See D1 in Figure 8. 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 needed when there is a separate charge and discharge path, because the voltages on P- (discharge) are likely always positive. The diode also is not needed if the 21 When the pack is designed with a single set of charge/discharge FETs, the ISL9208 CFET pin should be protected in the event of an over-current 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. So, it is recommended that an additional external series diode be placed between the CFET pin of the ISL9208 and the gate of the Charge FET. See Diode D3 in Figure 8. This will reduce 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. The large negative voltage can occur when the P- pin goes significantly negative, while the CFET pin is being internally clamped at VSS. The zener voltage of D4 should be less than the VGS(max) specification of the FET. VC7/VCC ISL9208 21Ω 1W CB7 200mA CELL BALANCE CONTROL (REG 02H) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 VCELL1 21Ω 1W CB1 VSS FIGURE 7.

USE OF A DIODES FOR PROTECTING THE CFET AND VMON PINS FN6446.1 November 2, 2007 ISL9208 User Flags The ISL9208 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, so the contents remain even after exiting a sleep mode. However, if the microcontroller sets the POR bit to force a power on reset, all of the user flags will also be reset. In addition, if the voltage on cell1 ever drops below the POR voltage, the contents of the user flags (as well as all other register values) could be lost. Serial Interface 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 internal slave 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 will continues to transmit 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 INTERFACE CONVENTIONS The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. 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 ISL9208 devices operate as slaves in all applications. When sending or receiving data, the convention is the most significant bit (MSB) is sent first. So, the first address bit sent is bit 7. SCL SDA DATA STABLE DATA CHANGE DATA STABLE FIGURE 9. VALID DATA CHANGES ON I2C BUS . CLOCK AND DATA Data states on the SDA line can change only while SCL is LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. See Figure 9. SCL SDA 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 will not respond to any command until this condition has been met. See Figure 10. START STOP FIGURE 10. I2C START AND STOP BITS STOP CONDITION 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 10. ACKNOWLEDGE SCL FROM MASTER 1 8 9 DATA OUTPUT FROM TRANSMITTER DATA OUTPUT FROM RECEIVER 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 11. 22 START ACKNOWLEDGE FIGURE 11. ACKNOWLEDGE RESPONSE FROM RECEIVER FN6446.1 November 2, 2007 ISL9208 WRITE OPERATIONS Read Operations For a write operation, the device requires a slave byte and an address byte. The slave byte specifies the particular device on the I2C bus that the master is writing to. The 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 12. Read operations are initiated in the same manner as write operations with the host sending the address where the read is to start (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 13. When receiving data from the master, the value in the data byte is transferred into the register specified by the 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 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 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. S T A R T REGISTER ADDRESS .

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). Write the FSETEN bit (Addr 8:bit 7) to “1” to enable changes to the data in the Feature Set register (Address 7). 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 14 shows a device state machine which defines how the ISL9208 responds to various conditions. Write the CHSETEN bit (Addr 8:bit 6) to “1” to enable changes to the data in the Feature Set register (Address 6).
