Compact, Low-Cost 1S/2S Fuel Gauges
The MAX17040/MAX17041 are ultra-compact, low-cost,
host-side fuel-gauge systems for lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equipment. The MAX17040
is configured to operate with a single lithium cell and the
MAX17041 is configured for a dual-cell 2S pack.
The MAX17040/MAX17041 use a sophisticated Li+ battery-modeling scheme, called ModelGauge™ to track
the battery’s relative state-of-charge (SOC) continuously
over a widely varying charge/discharge profile. Unlike
traditional fuel gauges, the ModelGauge algorithm eliminates the need for battery relearn cycles and an external current-sense resistor. Temperature compensation
is possible in the application with minimal interaction
between a µC and the device.
A quick-start mode provides a good initial estimate of
the battery’s SOC. This feature allows the IC to be
located on system side, reducing cost and supply
chain constraints on the battery. Measurement and estimated capacity data sets are accessed through an I2C
interface. The MAX17040/MAX17041 are available in
either a 0.4mm pitch 9-bump UCSP™ or 2mm x 3mm,
8-pin TDFN lead-free package.

ModelGauge Theory of Operation
The MAX17040/MAX17041 use a sophisticated battery
model, which determines the SOC of a nonlinear Li+
battery. The model effectively simulates the internal
dynamics of a Li+ battery and determines the SOC. The
model considers the time effects of a battery caused by
the chemical reactions and impedance in the battery.
The MAX17040/MAX17041 SOC calculation does not
accumulate error with time. This is advantageous

MAX17040/MAX17041
Pin Description
MAX17040/MAX17041
Compact, Low-Cost 1S/2S Fuel Gauges
compared to traditional coulomb counters, which suffer
from SOC drift caused by current-sense offset and cell
self-discharge. This model provides good performance
for many Li+ chemistry variants across temperature
and age. To achieve optimum performance, the
MAX17040/MAX17041 must be programmed with configuration data custom to the application. Contact the
factory for details.
Fuel-Gauge Performance
The classical coulomb-counter-based fuel gauges suffer from accuracy drift due to the accumulation of the
offset error in the current-sense measurement. Although
the error is often very small, the error increases over
time in such systems, cannot be eliminated, and
requires periodic corrections. The corrections are usually performed on a predefined SOC level near full or
empty. Some other systems use the relaxed battery
voltage to perform corrections. These systems determine the true SOC based on the battery voltage after a
long time of no activity. Both have the same limitation: if
the correction condition is not observed over time in the
actual application, the error in the system is boundless.
In some systems, a full charge/discharge cycle is
required to eliminate the drift error. To determine the
true accuracy of a fuel gauge, as experienced by end
users, the battery should be exercised in a dynamic
manner. The end-user accuracy cannot be understood
with only simple cycles. The MAX17040/MAX17041 do
not suffer from the drift problem since they do not rely
on the current information.
IC Power-Up
When the battery is first inserted into the system, there is
no previous knowledge about the battery’s SOC. The IC
assumes that the battery has been in a relaxed state for
the previous 30min. The first A/D voltage measurement is
translated into a best “first guess” for the SOC. Initial error
caused by the battery not being in a relaxed state fades
over time, regardless of cell loading following this initial
conversion. Because the SOC determination is convergent rather than divergent (as in a coulomb counter), this
initial error does not have a long-lasting impact.
6
Quick-Start
A quick-start allows the MAX17040/MAX17041 to restart
fuel-gauge calculations in the same manner as initial
power-up of the IC. For example, if an application’s
power-up sequence is exceedingly noisy such that
excess error is introduced into the IC’s “first guess” of
SOC, the host can issue a quick-start to reduce the
error. A quick-start is initiated by a rising edge on the
EO pin when SEO is logic-low, or through software by
writing 4000h to the MODE register.
External Oscillator Control
When the SEO pin is logic-high, the MAX17040/
MAX17041 disable the 32kHz internal oscillator and rely
on external clocking from the EO pin. A precision external clock source reduces current consumption during
normal operation.
When the SEO pin is logic-low, the EO pin becomes an
interrupt input. Any rising edge detected on EO causes
the MAX17040/MAX17041 to initiate a quick-start.
Sleep Mode
Holding both SDA and SCL logic-low forces the
MAX17040/MAX17041 into Sleep mode. While in Sleep
mode, all IC operations are halted and power drain of
the IC is greatly reduced. After exiting Sleep mode,
fuel-gauge operation continues from the point it was
halted. SDA and SCL must be held low for at least 2.5s
to guarantee transition into Sleep mode. Afterwards, a
rising edge on either SDA or SCL immediately transitions the IC out of Sleep mode.
Power-On Reset (POR)
Writing a value of 5400h to the COMMAND register causes the MAX17040/MAX17041 to completely reset as if
power had been removed. The reset occurs when the last
bit has been clocked in. The IC does not respond with an
I2C ACK after this command sequence.
Registers
All host interaction with the MAX17040/MAX17041 is
handled by writing to and reading from register locations. The MAX17040/MAX17041 have six 16-bit registers: SOC, VCELL, MODE, VERSION, RCOMP, and
COMMAND. Register reads and writes are only valid if
all 16 bits are transferred. Any write command that is
terminated early is ignored. The function of each register is described as follows. All remaining address locations not listed in Table 1 are reserved. Data read from
reserved locations is undefined.

SOC Register
automatically adapts to variation in battery size since
the MAX17040/MAX17041 naturally recognize relative
SOC. Units of % can be directly determined by observing only the high byte of the SOC register. The low byte
provides additional resolution in units 1/256%. The
reported SOC also includes residual capacity, which
might not be available to the actual application because
of early termination voltage requirements. When SOC()
= 0, typical applications have no remaining capacity.
The first update occurs within 250ms after POR of the
IC. Subsequent updates occur at variable intervals
depending on application conditions. ModelGauge calculations outside the register are clamped at minimum
and maximum register limits. Figure 4 shows the SOC
register format.

Battery voltage is measured at the CELL pin input with
respect to GND over a 0 to 5.00V range for the
MAX17040 and 0 to 10.00V for the MAX17041 with resolutions of 1.25mV and 2.50mV, respectively. The A/D
calculates the average cell voltage for a period of
125ms after IC POR and then for a period of 500ms for
every cycle afterwards. The result is placed in the
VCELL register at the end of each conversion period.

The MAX17040/MAX17041 have a variety of configurations, depending on the application. Table 4 shows the
most common system configurations and the proper
pin connections for each.
DESCRIPTION
See the Quick-Start
description section.
Figure 5 shows an example application for a 1S cell
pack. The MAX17040 is mounted on the system side
and powered directly from the cell pack. The external
RC networks on VDD and CELL provide noise filtering of
the IC power supply and A/D measurement. In this
example, the SEO pin is connected to VDD to allow an
external clock and reduce power usage by the
MAX17040. The system’s 32kHz clock is connected to
the EO input pin.
VERSION Register
The VERSION register is a read-only register that contains a value indicating the production version of the
MAX17040/MAX17041.
RCOMP Register
RCOMP is a 16-bit value used to compensate the
ModelGauge algorithm. RCOMP can be adjusted to
optimize performance for different lithium chemistries or
different operating temperatures. Contact Maxim for
instructions for optimization. The factory-default value
for RCOMP is 9700h.
Figure 6 shows a MAX17041 example application using
a 2S cell pack. The MAX17041 is mounted on the system side and powered from a 3.3V supply generated
by the system. The CELL pin is still connected directly
to PACK+ through an external noise filter. The SEO pin
is connected low to allow the system hardware to reset
the fuel gauge. After power is supplied, the system
watchdog generates a low-to-high transition on the EO
pin to signal the MAX17041 to perform a quick-start.
COMMAND Register
The COMMAND register allows the host processor to
send special commands to the IC. Valid COMMAND
register write values are listed as follows. All other
COMMAND register values are reserved. Table 3

2-Wire Bus System
The 2-wire bus system supports operation as a slaveonly device in a single or multislave, and single or multimaster system. Slave devices can share the bus by
uniquely setting the 7-bit slave address. The 2-wire
interface consists of a serial data line (SDA) and serial
clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL provide bidirectional
communication between the MAX17040/MAX17041
slave device and a master device at speeds up to
400kHz. The MAX17040/MAX17041s’ SDA pin operates
bidirectionally; that is, when the MAX17040/MAX17041
receive data, SDA operates as an input, and when the
MAX17040/MAX17041 return data, SDA operates as an
open-drain output, with the host system providing a
resistive pullup. The MAX17040/MAX17041 always
operate as a slave device, receiving and transmitting
data under the control of a master device. The master
initiates all transactions on the bus and generates the
SCL signal, as well as the START and STOP bits, which
begin and end each transaction.

Bit Transfer
Data Order
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle, with the cycle defined by SCL transitioning low to
high and then high to low. The SDA logic level must
remain stable during the high period of the SCL clock
pulse. Any change in SDA when SCL is high is interpreted as a START or STOP control signal.
A byte of data consists of 8 bits ordered most significant bit (MSb) first. The least significant bit (LSb) of
each byte is followed by the Acknowledge bit. The
MAX17040/MAX17041 registers composed of multibyte
values are ordered MSB first. The MSB of multibyte registers is stored on even data-memory addresses.
Bus Idle
Slave Address
The bus is defined to be idle, or not busy, when no
master device has control. Both SDA and SCL remain
high when the bus is idle. The STOP condition is the
proper method to return the bus to the idle state.
A bus master initiates communication with a slave
device by issuing a START condition followed by a
Slave Address (SAddr) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
When the bus is idle, the MAX17040/MAX17041 continuously monitor for a START condition followed by its
Slave Address. When the MAX17040/MAX17041
receive a Slave Address that matches the value in the
Slave Address Register, it responds with an
Acknowledge bit during the clock period following the
R/W bit. The 7-bit slave address is fixed to 6Ch (write)/
6DH (read):
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates transactions with a START condition (S) by forcing a high-to-low transition on SDA while
SCL is high. The master terminates a transaction with a
STOP condition (P), a low-to-high transition on SDA
while SCL is high. A Repeated START condition (Sr)
can be used in place of a STOP then START sequence
to terminate one transaction and begin another without
returning the bus to the idle state. In multimaster systems, a Repeated START allows the master to retain
control of the bus. The START and STOP conditions are
the only bus activities in which the SDA transitions
when SCL is high.
Acknowledge Bits
Each byte of a data transfer is acknowledged with an
Acknowledge bit (A) or a No-Acknowledge bit (N). Both
the master and the MAX17040 slave generate acknowledge bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving
device must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the
acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep
it low until SCL returns low. To generate a no acknowledge (also called NAK), the receiver releases SDA before
the rising edge of the acknowledge-related clock pulse
and leaves SDA high until SCL returns low. Monitoring the
Acknowledge bits allows for detection of unsuccessful
data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer can occur if
a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has
occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer,
the bus master should reattempt communication.

Read/Write Bit
The R/W bit following the slave address determines the
data direction of subsequent bytes in the transfer. R/W
= 0 selects a write transaction, with the following bytes
being written by the master to the slave. R/W = 1
selects a read transaction, with the following bytes
being read from the slave by the master.
Bus Timing
The MAX17040/MAX17041 are compatible with any bus
timing up to 400kHz. No special configuration is
required to operate at any speed.
2-Wire Command Protocols
The command protocols involve several transaction formats. The simplest format consists of the master writing
the START bit, slave address, R/W bit, and then monitoring the Acknowledge bit for presence of the MAX17040/
MAX17041. More complex formats, such as the Write
Data and Read Data, read data and execute device-specific operations. All bytes in each command format
require the slave or host to return an Acknowledge bit
before continuing with the next byte. Table 5 shows the
key that applies to the transaction formats.

Basic Transaction Formats
Write: S. SAddr W. A. MAddr. A. Data0. A. Data1. A. P
A write transaction transfers 2 or more data bytes to the
MAX17040/MAX17041. The data transfer begins at the
memory address supplied in the MAddr byte. Control of
the SDA signal is retained by the master throughout the
transaction, except for the acknowledge cycles:
Read: S. SAddr W. A. MAddr. A. Sr. SAddr R. A. Data0. A. Data1. N. P
Write Portion
Read Portion
A read transaction transfers 2 or more bytes from the
MAX17040/MAX17041. Read transactions are composed of two parts, a write portion followed by a read
portion, and are therefore inherently longer than a write
transaction. The write portion communicates the starting
point for the read operation. The read portion follows
immediately, beginning with a Repeated START, Slave
Address with R/W set to a 1. Control of SDA is assumed
by the MAX17040/MAX17041, beginning with the Slave
Address Acknowledge cycle. Control of the SDA signal
is retained by the MAX17040/MAX17041 throughout the
transaction, except for the acknowledge cycles. The
master indicates the end of a read transaction by
responding to the last byte it requires with a no
acknowledge. This signals the MAX17040/MAX17041
that control of SDA is to remain with the master following
the acknowledge clock.
Write Data Protocol
The write data protocol is used to write to register to the
MAX17040/MAX17041 starting at memory address
MAddr. Data0 represents the data written to MAddr,
Data1 represents the data written to MAddr + 1, and
DataN represents the last data byte, written to MAddr +
N. The master indicates the end of a write transaction
by sending a STOP or Repeated START after receiving
the last Acknowledge bit:
The MSB of the data to be stored at address MAddr
can be written immediately after the MAddr byte is
acknowledged. Because the address is automatically
incremented after the LSB of each byte is received by
the MAX17040/MAX17041, the MSB of the data at
address MAddr + 1 can be written immediately after
the acknowledgment of the data at address MAddr. If
the bus master continues an autoincremented write
transaction beyond address 4Fh, the MAX17040/
MAX17041 ignore the data. A valid write must include
both register bytes. Data is also ignored on writes to
read-only addresses. Incomplete bytes and bytes that
are not acknowledged by the MAX17040/MAX17041
are not written to memory.
Read Data Protocol
The read data protocol is used to read to register from
the MAX17040/MAX17041 starting at the memory
address specified by MAddr. Both register bytes must
be read in the same transaction for the register data to
be valid. Data0 represents the data byte in memory
location MAddr, Data1 represents the data from MAddr
+ 1, and DataN represents the last byte read by the
master:
S. SAddr W. A. MAddr. A. Sr. SAddr R. A.
Data0. A. Data1. A... DataN. N. P
Data is returned beginning with the MSB of the data in
MAddr. Because the address is automatically incremented after the LSB of each byte is returned, the MSB
of the data at address MAddr + 1 is available to the
host immediately after the acknowledgment of the data
at address MAddr. If the bus master continues to read
beyond address FFh, the MAX17040/MAX17041 output
data values of FFh. Addresses labeled Reserved in the
memory map return undefined data. The bus master
terminates the read transaction at any byte boundary
by issuing a no acknowledge followed by a STOP or
Repeated START.
SAddr W. A. MAddr. A. Data0. A. Data1. A... DataN. A
