GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The DS2784 operates from 2.5V to 4.6V for integration
in battery packs using a single lithium-ion (Li+) or Li+
polymer cell. Available capacity is reported in mAh and
as a percentage. Safe operation is ensured with the
included Li+ protection function and SHA-1-based
challenge-response authentication.

Precision measurements of voltage, temperature, and
current, along with cell characteristics and application
parameters are used to estimate capacity. The
available capacity registers report a conservative
estimate of the amount of charge that can be removed
given the current temperature and discharge rate.

In addition to the nonvolatile (NV) storage for cell
compensation and application parameters, 16 bytes of
EEPROM memory is made available for the exclusive
use of the host system and/or pack manufacturer. This
facilitates battery lot and date tracking or NV storage of
system or battery usage statistics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The DS2784 functions as an accurate fuel gauge, Li+ protector, and SHA-1-based authentication token. The fuel
gauge provides accurate estimates of remaining capacity and reports timely voltage, temperature, and currentmeasurement data. Capacity estimates are calculated from a piecewise-linear model of the battery performance
over load and temperature, and system parameters for full and empty conditions. The algorithm parameters are
user programmable and can be modified in pack. Critical capacity and aging data are periodically saved to
EEPROM in case of loss of power due to a short circuit or deep depletion.
The Li+ protection function ensures safe, high-performance operation. nFET protection switches are driven with a
9V charge pump that increase gate drive as the cell voltage decreases. The high-side topology preserves the
ground path for serial communication while eliminating the parasitic charge path formed when the fuel gauge IC is

located inside the protection FETs in a low-side configuration. The thresholds for overvoltage, overcurrent, and
short-circuit current are user programmable for easy customization to each cell and application.
The 32-bit wide SHA-1 engine with 64-bit secret and 64-bit challenge words resists brute force and other attacks
with financial-level HMAC security. The challenge of managing secrets in the supply chain is addressed with the
compute next secret feature. The unique serial number or ROM ID can be used to assign a unique secret to each
battery.

DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
POWER MODES
The DS2784 has two power modes: Active and Sleep. On initial power-up, the DS2784 defaults to Active mode. In
Active mode, the DS2784 is fully functional with measurements and capacity estimation registers continuously
updated. The protector circuit monitors the battery voltages and current for unsafe conditions. The protection FET
gate drivers are enabled when conditions are deemed safe. Also, the SHA-1 authentication function is available in
Active mode. When a SHA-1 computation is performed, the supply current increases to IDD3 for tSHA. In Sleep mode,
the DS2784 conserves power by disabling measurement and capacity estimation functions, but preserves register
contents. Gate drive to the protection FETs is disabled in Sleep. And the SHA-1 authentication feature is not
operational.
Sleep mode is entered under two different conditions: bus low and undervoltage. An enable bit makes entry into
Sleep optional for each condition. Sleep mode is not entered if a charger is connected (VPLS > VDD + 50mV) or if a
charge current of 1.6mV / RSNS is measured from SNS to VSS. The DS2784 exits Sleep mode upon charger
connection and VIN ≥ VUV or a low to high transition on DQ.
The bus-low condition, where the DQ pin is low for tSLEEP, indicates pack removal or system shutdown in which the
1-Wire bus pullup voltage, VPULLUP, is not present. The Power mode (PMOD) bit must be set to enter Sleep when a
bus-low condition occurs. After the DS2784 enters Sleep due to a bus-low condition, it is assumed that no charge
or discharge current will flow and that coulomb counting is unnecessary.
The second condition to enter Sleep is an undervoltage condition, which reduces battery drain due to the DS2784
supply current and prevents over discharging the cell. The DS2784 transitions to Sleep if the VIN voltage is less
than VUV (2.45V typical) and the undervoltage enable (UVEN) bit is set. The 1-Wire bus must be in a static state,
that is, with DQ either high or low for tSLEEP. The DS2784 transitions from UVEN Sleep to Active mode when DQ
changes logic state.
The DS2784 has the “power switch” capability for waking the device and enabling the protection FETs when the
host system is powered down. A simple dry-contact switch on the PIO pin or DQ pin can be used to wake up the
battery pack. The power switch function is enabled using the PSPIO and PSDQ configuration bits in the control
register. When PSPIO or PSDQ is set and a Sleep condition is satisfied, the PIO and DQ pins pull high weakly,
then become armed to detect a low-going transition. A 100ms debounce period filters out glitches that can be
caused when a sleeping battery is inserted into a system.

CONTROL REGISTER FORMAT
All control register bits are read and write accessible. The control register is recalled from parameter EEPROM
memory at power-up. Register bit values can be modified in shadow RAM after power-up. Power-up default values

the power-switch input function on DQ pin. This control is independent of the PSPIO state.
X—Reserved Bit.
Li+ PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
During Active mode, the DS2784 constantly monitors SNS, VIN, and VPLS to protect the battery from overvoltage
(overcharge), undervoltage (overdischarge), and excessive charge and discharge currents (overcurrent, short
circuit). Table 1 summarizes the conditions that activate the protection circuit, the response of the DS2784, and the
thresholds that release the DS2784 from a protection state.

If VIN < VUV when charger connection is detected, release is delayed until VIN ≥ VUV. The recovery charge path provides an internal
current limit (IRC) to safely charge the battery. If the device does not enter sleep mode for an UV condition (UVEN=0) then the
FETs will turn on once VIN > VUV.

flowing from VDD to PLS (pullup on PLS).
Overvoltage. If the voltage on VIN exceeds the overvoltage threshold (VOV) for a period longer than overvoltage
delay (tOVD), the CC pin is driven low to shut off the external-charge FET, and the OV flag in the protection register
is set. The DC output remains high during overvoltage to allow discharging. When VIN falls below the charge enable
threshold, VCE, the DS2784 turns the charge FET on by driving CC high. The DS2784 drives CC high before
VIN < VCE if a discharge condition persists with VSNS ≥ 1.2mV and VIN < VOV.
Undervoltage. If VIN drops below the undervoltage threshold (VUV) for a period longer than undervoltage delay
(tUVD), the DS2784 shuts off the charge and discharge FETs and sets the UV flag in the protection register. If UVEN
is set, the DS2784 also enters Sleep mode. The DS2784 provides a current-limited recovery charge path (IRC) from
PLS to VDD to gently charge severely depleted cells. The recovery charge path is enabled when
0  VIN < (VOV - 100mV). Once VIN reaches 2.45V (typ), the DS2784 returns to normal operation. The DS2784
transitions from Sleep to Active mode and the CC and DC outputs are driven high to turn on the charge and

discharge FETs. . If the device does not enter sleep mode for an UV condition (UVEN=0) then the FETs will turn
on once VIN > VUV.
Overcurrent, Charge Direction (COC). Charge current develops a negative voltage on VSNS with respect to VSS. If
VSNS is less than the charge overcurrent threshold (VCOC) for a period longer than overcurrent delay (tOCD), the
DS2784 shuts off both external FETs and sets the COC flag in the protection register. The charge current path is
not re-established until the voltage on the PLS pin drops below VDD - VTP. The DS2784 provides a pulldown current
(ITST) from PLS to VSS to pull PLS down in order to detect the removal of the offending charge current source.
Overcurrent, Discharge Direction (DOC). Discharge current develops a positive voltage on VSNS with respect to
VSS. If VSNS exceeds the discharge overcurrent threshold (VDOC) for a period longer than tOCD, the DS2784 shuts off
the external discharge FET and sets the DOC flag in the protection register. The discharge current path is not reestablished until the voltage on PLS rises above VDD - VTP. The DS2784 provides a test current (ITST) from VDD to
PLS to pull PLS up in order to detect the removal of the offending low-impedance load.
Short Circuit. If VSNS exceeds short-circuit threshold VSC for a period longer than short-circuit delay (tSCD), the
DS2784 shuts off the external discharge FET and sets the DOC flag in the protection register. The discharge
current path is not re-established until the voltage on PLS rises above VDD - VTP. The DS2784 provides a test
current of value (ITST) from VDD to PLS to pull PLS up in order to detect the removal of the short circuit.

PROTECTION REGISTER FORMAT
The protection register reports events detected by the Li+ safety circuit on bits 2 to 7. Bits 0 and 1 are used to
disable the charge and discharge FET gate drivers. Bits 2 to 7 are set by internal hardware only. Bits 2 and 3 are
cleared by hardware only. Bits 4 to 7 are cleared by writing the register with a 0 in the bit position of interest. Writing
a 1 to bits 4 to 7 has no effect on the register. Bits 0 and 1 are set on power-up and a transition from Sleep to
Active modes. While in Active mode, these bits can be cleared to disable the FET gate drive of either or both FETs.
Setting these bits only turns on the FETs if there are no protection faults.

UV—Undervoltage Flag. UV is a read-only mirror of the UVF flag located in the status register. UVF is set to
indicate that VIN < VUV . The UVF bit must be written to 0 to clear UV and UVF.
COC—Charge Overcurrent Flag. COC is set to indicate that an overcurrent condition has occurred during a charge.
The sense-resistor voltage has persisted above the VCOC threshold for tOC. COC remains set until written to a 0,
cleared by a power-on reset, or transition to Sleep mode.
DOC—Discharge Overcurrent Flag. DOC is set to indicate that an overcurrent condition has occurred during a
discharge. The sense-resistor voltage has persisted above the VDOC threshold for tOC. DOC remains set until written
to a 0, cleared by a power-on reset, or transition to Sleep mode.
CC—Charge Control Flag. CC indicates the logic state of the CC pin driver. CC flag is set to indicate CC high. CC
flag is cleared to indicate CC low. CC flag is read only.
DC—Discharge Control Flag. DC indicates the logic state of the DC pin driver. DC flag is set to indicate DC high.
DC flag is cleared to indicate DC low. DC flag is read only.
CE—Charge Enable Bit. CE must be set to allow the CC pin to drive the charge FET to the on state. CE acts as an
enable input to the safety circuit. If all safety conditions are met AND CE is set, the CC pin drives to VCP. If CE is
cleared, the CC pin is driven low to disable the charge FET.
DE—Discharge Enable Bit. DE must be set to allow the DC pin to drive the discharge FET to the on state. DE acts
as an enable input to the safety circuit. If all safety conditions are met AND DE is set, the DC pin drives to VCP. If
DE is cleared, the DC pin is driven low to disable the charge FET.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
Battery voltage is measured every 440ms on the VIN pin with respect to VSS. Measurements have a 0 to 4.6V range
and a 4.88mV resolution. The value is stored in the voltage register in two’s complement form and is updated every
440ms. Voltages above the maximum register value are reported at the maximum value; voltages below the
minimum register value are reported at the minimum value.

Note: Temperature and battery voltage (VIN) are measured using the same ADC. Therefore, measurements are a 220ms average updated
every 440ms.
CURRENT MEASUREMENT
The DS2784 continually measures the current flow into and out of the battery by measuring the voltage drop across
a low-value current-sense resistor, RSNS. The voltage-sense range between SNS and VSS is ±51.2mV. The input
linearly converts peak-signal amplitudes up to 102.4mV as long as the continuous signal level (average over the
conversion cycle period) does not exceed ±51.2mV. The ADC samples the input differentially at 18.6kHz and
updates the current register at the completion of each conversion cycle (3.52s). Charge currents above the
maximum register value are reported as 7FFFh. Discharge currents below the minimum register value are reported
as 8000h.

CURRENT OFFSET CORRECTION
Every 1024th conversion, the ADC measures its input offset to facilitate offset correction. Offset correction occurs
approximately once per hour. The resulting correction factor is applied to the subsequent 1023 measurements.
During the offset correction conversion, the ADC does not measure the sense-resistor signal. A maximum error of
1/1024 in the accumulated current register (ACR) is possible; however, to reduce the error, the current
measurement made just prior to the offset conversion is retained in the current register and is substituted for the
dropped current measurement in the current accumulation process. Therefore, the accumulated current error due
to offset correction is typically much less than 1/1024.
CURRENT OFFSET BIAS
The current offset bias (COB) value allows a programmable offset value to be added to raw current measurements.
The result of the raw current measurement plus COB is displayed as the current measurement result in the current
register, and is used for current accumulation. COB can be used to correct for a static offset error, or can be used
to intentionally skew the current results and, therefore, the current accumulation.
Read and write access is allowed to COB. Whenever the COB is written, the new value is applied to all subsequent
current measurements. COB can be programmed in 1.56V steps to any value between +198.1µV and -199.7µV.
The COB value is stored as a two’s complement value in EEPROM. The COB is loaded on power-up from
EEPROM memory. The factory default value is 00h.
The difference between the CAB and COB is that the CAB is not subject to current blanking. Offset currents
between 100µV and -25µV are not accumulated if the offset is made by the COB. Offset currents between 100µV
and -25µV are accumulated if they are made by the CAB.

CURRENT BLANKING
The current blanking feature modifies current measurement result prior to being accumulated in the ACR. Current
blanking occurs conditionally when a current measurement (raw current + COBR) falls in one of two defined
ranges. The first range prevents charge currents less than 100V from being accumulated. The second range
prevents discharge currents less than 25V in magnitude from being accumulated. Charge current blanking is
always performed; however, discharge current blanking must be enabled by setting the NBEN bit in the control
register. See the register description for additional information.

DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
CURRENT MEASUREMENT CALIBRATION
The DS2784’s current measurement gain can be adjusted through the RSGAIN register, which is factory calibrated
to meet the data sheet-specified accuracy. RSGAIN is user accessible and can be reprogrammed after module or
pack manufacture to improve the current measurement accuracy. Adjusting RSGAIN can correct for variation in an
external sense resistor’s nominal value, and allows the use of low-cost, nonprecision, current-sense resistors.
RSGAIN is an 11-bit value stored in 2 bytes of the parameter EEPROM memory block. The RSGAIN value adjusts
the gain from 0 to 1.999 in steps of 0.001 (precisely 2-10). The user must program RSGAIN cautiously to ensure
accurate current measurement. When shipped from the factory, the gain calibration value is stored in two separate
locations in the parameter EEPROM block: RSGAIN, which is reprogrammable, and FRSGAIN, which is read only.
RSGAIN determines the gain used in the current measurement. The FRSGAIN value is provided to preserve the
factory calibration value only and is not used to calibrate the current measurement. The 16-bit FRSGAIN value is
readable from addresses B0h and B1h.

SENSE RESISTOR TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The DS2784 can temperature compensate the current-sense resistor to correct for variation in a sense resistor’s
value overtemperature. The DS2784 is factory programmed with the sense-resistor temperature coefficient, RSTC,
set to zero, which turns off the temperature compensation function. RSTC is user accessible and can be
reprogrammed after module or pack manufacture to improve the current accuracy when using a high-temperature
coefficient current-sense resistor. RSTC is an 8-bit value stored in the parameter EEPROM memory block. The
RSTC value sets the temperature coefficient from 0 to +7782ppm/ºC in steps of 30.5ppm/ºC. The user must
program RSTC cautiously to ensure accurate current measurement.
Temperature compensation adjustments are made when the temperature register crosses 0.5oC boundaries. The
temperature compensation is most effective with the resistor placed as close as possible to the VSS terminal. This
optimizes thermal coupling of the resistor to the on-chip temperature sensor.

CURRENT ACCUMULATION
Current measurements are internally summed, or accumulated, at the completion of each conversion period and
the results are stored in the ACR. The accuracy of the ACR is dependent on both the current measurement and the
conversion time base. The ACR has a range of 0 to 409.6mVh with an LSb of 6.25Vh. Additional registers hold
fractional results of each accumulation to avoid truncation errors. The fractional result bits are not user accessible.
Accumulation of charge current above the maximum register value is reported at the maximum value; conversely,
accumulation of discharge current below the minimum register value is reported at the minimum value.
Charge currents (positive current register values) less than 100V are not accumulated in order to mask the effect
of accumulating small positive offset errors over long periods. This limits the minimum charge current, for coulombcounting purposes, to 5mA for RSNS = 0.020 and 20mA for RSNS = 0.005.
19 of 43
DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
Read and write access is allowed to the ACR. The ACR must be written MSB first then LSB. Whenever the ACR is
written, the fractional accumulation result bits are cleared. The write must be completed in 3.5s (one ACR update
period). A write to the ACR forces the ADC to perform an offset correction conversion and update the internal offset
correction factor. The current measurement and accumulation begin with the second conversion following a write to
the ACR.
The ACR value is backed up to EEPROM in case of power loss. The ACR value is recovered from EEPROM on
power-up. See Table 8 for specific address location and backup frequency.

ACCUMULATION BIAS
In some designs a systematic error or an application preference requires the application of an arbitrary bias to the
current accumulation process. The current accumulation bias register (CAB) allows a user-programmed constant
positive or negative polarity bias to be included in the current accumulation process. The value in CAB can be used
to estimate battery currents that do not flow through the sense resistor, estimate battery self-discharge or estimate
current levels below the current measurement resolution. The user programmed two’s complement value, with bit
weighting the same as the current register, is added to the ACR once per current conversion cycle. The CAB is
loaded on power-up from EEPROM memory.
The difference between the CAB and COB is that the CAB is not subject to current blanking. Offset currents
between 100µV and -25µV are not accumulated if the offset is made by the COB. Offset currents between 100µV
and -25µV are accumulated if they are made by the CAB.

MODELING CELL CHARACTERISTICS
To achieve reasonable accuracy in estimating remaining capacity, the cell performance characteristics
overtemperature, load current, and charge-termination point must be considered. Since the behavior of Li+ cells is
nonlinear, these characteristics must be included in the capacity estimation to achieve an acceptable level of
accuracy in the capacity estimation. The FuelPack™ method used in the DS2784 is described in general in
Application Note 131: Lithium-Ion Cell Fuel Gauging with Dallas Semiconductor Battery Monitor ICs. To facilitate
efficient implementation in hardware, a modified version of the method outlined in AN131 is used to store cell
characteristics in the DS2784. Full and empty points are retrieved in a lookup process which retraces a piece-wise
linear model consisting of three model curves named full, active empty, and standby empty. Each model curve is
constructed with 5-line segments, numbered 1 through 5. Above 40°C, the segment 5 model curves extend
infinitely with zero slope, approximating the nearly flat change in capacity of Li+ cells at temperatures above 40°C.
Segment 4 of each model curves originates at +40°C on its upper end and extends downward in temperature to the
junction with segment 3. Segment 3 joins with segment 2, which in turn joins with segment 1. Segment 1 of each
model curve extends from the junction with segment 2 to infinitely colder temperatures. The three junctions or
breakpoints that join the segments (labeled TBP12, TBP23, and TBP34 in Figure 4) are programmable in 1°C
increments from -128°C to +40°C. The slope or derivative for segments 1, 2, 3, and 4 are also programmable over
a range of 0 to 15,555ppm, in steps of 61ppm.

Full—The full curve defines how the full point of a given cell varies over temperature for a given charge termination.
The application’s charge termination method should be used to determine the table values. The DS2784
reconstructs the full line from the cell characteristic table to determine the full capacity of the battery at each
temperature. Reconstruction occurs in one-degree temperature increments.
Active Empty—The active-empty curve defines the variation of the active-empty point over temperature. The
active-empty point is defined as the minimum voltage required for system operation at a discharge rate based on a
high-level load current (one that is sustained during a high-power operating mode). This load current is
programmed as the active-empty current (IAE), and should be a 3.5s average value to correspond to values read
from the current register. The specified minimum voltage, or active empty voltage (VAE), should be a 220ms
average value to correspond to the values read from the voltage register. The DS2784 reconstructs the active
empty line from the cell characteristic table to determine the active empty capacity of the battery at each
temperature. Reconstruction occurs in one-degree temperature increments.
Standby Empty—The standby-empty curve defines the variation of the standby-empty point over temperature. The
standby-empty point is defined as the minimum voltage required for standby operation at a discharge rate dictated
by the application standby current. In typical handheld applications, standby empty represents the point that the
battery can no longer support DRAM refresh and thus the standby voltage is set by the minimum DRAM voltagesupply requirements. In other applications, standby empty can represent the point that the battery can no longer
support a subset of the full application operation, such as games or organizer functions. The standby load current
and voltage are used for determining the cell characteristics but are not programmed into the DS2784. The DS2784
reconstructs the standby-empty line from the cell characteristic table to determine the standby-empty capacity of
the battery at each temperature. Reconstruction occurs in one-degree temperature increments.
CELL MODEL CONSTRUCTION
The model is constructed with all points normalized to the fully charged state at +40°C. All values are stored in the
cell parameter EEPROM block. The +40°C full value is stored in µVhr with an LSB of 6.25µVhr. The +40°C active
empty value is stored as a percentage of +40°C full with a resolution of 2-10. Standby empty at +40°C is, by
definition, zero and, therefore, no storage is required. The slopes (derivatives) of the 4 segments for each model
curve are stored in the cell parameter EEPROM block as ppm/°C. The breakpoint temperatures of each segment
are stored there also (see Application Note 3584: Storing Battery Fuel Gauge Parameters in DS2780 for more
details on how values are stored). An example of data stored in this manner is shown in Table 6.

APPLICATION PARAMETERS
In addition to cell model characteristics, several application parameters are needed to detect the full and empty
points, as well as calculate results in mAh units.
Sense Resistor Prime (RSNSP[1/])—RSNSP stores the value of the sense resistor for use in computing the absolute
capacity results. The resistance is stored as a 1-byte conductance value with units of mhos (1/. RSNSP supports
resistor values of 1 to 3.922m. RSNS is located in the parameter EEPROM block.
RSNSP = 1/RSNS (units of mhos; 1/)
Charge Voltage (VCHG)—VCHG stores the charge voltage threshold used to detect a fully charged state. The
voltage is stored as a 1-byte value with units of 19.5mV and can range from 0V to 4.978V. VCHG should be set
marginally less than the cell voltage at the end of the charge cycle to ensure reliable charge termination detection.
VCHG is located in the parameter EEPROM block.
Minimum Charge Current (IMIN)—IMIN stores the charge current threshold used to detect a fully charged state. It
is stored as a 1-byte value with units of 50V (IMIN x RSNS) and can range from 0 to 12.75mV. Assuming RSNS =
20m, IMIN can be programmed from 0mA to 637.5mA in 2.5mA steps. IMIN should be set marginally greater than
23 of 43
DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
the charge current at the end of the charge cycle to ensure reliable charge termination detection. IMIN is located in
the parameter EEPROM block.
Active Empty Voltage (VAE)—VAE stores the voltage threshold used to detect the active empty point. The value
is stored in 1-byte with units of 19.5mV and can range from 0V to 4.978V. VAE is located in the parameter
EEPROM block. See the Modeling Cell Characteristics section for more information.
Active Empty Current (IAE)—IAE stores the discharge current threshold used to detect the active empty point.
The unsigned value represents the magnitude of the discharge current and is stored in 1-byte with units of 200V
and can range from 0 to 51.2mV. Assuming RSNS = 20m, IAE can be programmed from 0mA to 2550mA in 10mA
steps. IAE is located in the Parameter EEPROM block. See the Cell Model Construction section for more
information.
Aging Capacity (AC)—AC stores the rated cell capacity, which is used to estimate the decrease in battery
capacity that occurs during normal use. The value is stored in 2 bytes in the same units as the ACR (6.25Vh).
When set to the manufacturer’s rated cell capacity the aging estimation rate is approximately 2.4% per 100 cycles
of equivalent full capacity discharges. Partial discharge cycles are added to form equivalent full capacity
discharges. The default aging estimation results in 88% capacity after 500 equivalent cycles. The aging estimation
rate can be adjusted by setting the AC to a value other than the cell manufacturer’s rating. Setting AC to a lower
value, accelerates the aging estimation rate. Setting AC to a higher value, retards the aging estimation rate. The
AC is located in the parameter EEPROM block.
Age Scalar (AS)—AS adjusts the cell capacity estimation results downward to compensate for aging. The AS is a
1-byte value that has a range of 49.2% to 100%. The LSb is weighted at 0.78% (precisely 2-7). A value of 100%
(128 decimal or 80h) represents an unaged battery. A value of 95% is recommended as the starting AS value at the
time of pack manufacture to allow the learning of a larger capacity on batteries that have an initial capacity greater
than the rated cell capacity programmed in the cell characteristic table. The AS is modified by aging estimation
introduced under aging capacity and by the capacity-learn function. The host system has read and write access to
the AS, however caution should exercised when writing it to ensure that the cumulative aging estimate is not
overwritten with an incorrect value. The AS is automatically saved to EEPROM (see Table 7 for details). The
EEPROM value is recalled on power-up.
Full capacity estimation based on the learn function is more accurate than the cycle-count-based estimation. The
learn function reflects the current performance of the cell. Cycle count based estimation is an approximation
derived from the manufacturer’s recommendation for a typical cell. Batteries are typically considered worn-out when
the full capacity reaches 80% of the rated capacity, therefore, the AS value is not required to range to 0%. It is
clamped to 50% (64d or 40h). If a value of 50% is read from the AS, the host should prompt the user to initiate a
learning cycle.

As discussed above, the AS register value is adjusted occasionally based on cumulative discharge. As the ACR
register decrements during each discharge cycle, an internal counter is incremented until equal to 32 times the AC.
The AS is then decremented by one, resulting in a decrease of the scaled full battery capacity by 0.78%
(approximately 2.4% per 100 cycles). See the AC register description above for recommendations on customizing
the age-estimation rate.
Learn Function
Since Li+ cells exhibit charge efficiencies near unity, the charge delivered to a Li+ cell from a known empty point to
a known full point is a dependable measure of the cell capacity. A continuous charge from empty to full results in a
learn cycle. First, the active empty point must be detected. The learn flag (LEARNF) is set at this point. Then, once
charging starts, the charge must continue uninterrupted until the battery is charged to full. Upon detecting full,
LEARNF is cleared, the charge to full (CHGTF) flag is set, and the age scalar (AS) is adjusted according to the
learned capacity of the cell.

DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
ACR Housekeeping
The ACR value is adjusted occasionally to maintain the coulomb count within the model curve boundaries. When
the battery is charged to full (CHGTF set), the ACR is set equal to the age scaled full lookup value at the present
temperature. If a learn cycle is in progress, correction of the ACR value occurs after the age scalar (AS) is updated.
When an empty condition is detected (LEARNF and/or AEF set), the ACR adjustment is conditional:
 If the AEF is set and the LEARNF is not set, then the active-empty point was not detected. The battery is likely
below the active-empty capacity of the model. The ACR is set to the active-empty model value at present temp
only if it is greater than the active-empty model value at present temp.
 If the AEF is set, the LEARNF is not set, and the ACR is below the active-empty model value at present temp
the ACR is NOT updated.
 If the LEARNF is set, then the battery is at the active-empty point and the ACR is set to the active-empty model
value.
Full Detect
Full detection occurs when the voltage (V) readings remain continuously above the charge voltage (VCHG)
threshold for the duration of two average current (IAVG) readings, and both IAVG readings are below terminating
current (IMIN). The two consecutive IAVG readings must also be positive and nonzero (> 16 LSB). This ensures
that removing the battery from the charger does not result in a false detection of full. Full detect sets the charge to
full (CHGTF) bit in the status register.
Active-Empty Point Detect
Active-empty point detection occurs when the voltage register drops below the VAE threshold AND the two
previous current readings are above IAE. This captures the event of the battery reaching the active-empty point.
Note that the two previous current readings must be negative and greater in magnitude than IAE, that is, a larger
discharge current than specified by the IAE threshold. Qualifying the voltage level with the discharge rate ensures
that the active-empty point is not detected at loads much lighter than those used to construct the model. Also, the
active-empty point must not be detected when a deep discharge at a very light load is followed by a load greater
than IAE. Either case would cause a learn cycle on the following charge to include part of the standby capacity in
the measurement of the active capacity. Active-empty point detection sets the learn flag (LEARNF) bit in the status
register. Do not confuse the active-empty point with the active-empty flag. The active-empty flag is set only when
the VAE threshold is passed.
STATUS REGISTER FORMAT
The status register contains bits that report the device status. All bits are set internally. The CHGTF, AEF, SEF, and
LEARNF bits are read only. The UVF and PORF bits can be cleared by writing a zero to the bit locations.

CHGTF—Charge-Termination Flag. CHGTF is set to indicate that the voltage and average current register values
have persisted above the VCHG and below the IMIN thresholds sufficiently long to detect a fully charged condition.
CHGTF is cleared when RARC is less than 90%. CHGTF is read only.
AEF—Active-Empty Flag. AEF is set to indicate that the battery is at or below the active-empty point. AEF is set
when the voltage register value is less than the VAE threshold. AEF is cleared when RARC is greater than 5%.
AEF is read only.
SEF—Standby-Empty Flag. SEF is set to indicate RSRC is less than 10%. SEF is cleared when RSRC is greater
than 15%. SEF is read only.

LEARNF—Learn Flag. LEARNF indicates that the current charge cycle can be used to learn the battery capacity.
LEARNF is set when the active-empty point is detected. This occurs when the voltage register value drops below
the VAE threshold AND the two previous current register values were negative and greater in magnitude than the
IAE threshold. See the Active-Empty Point Detect section for additional information. LEARNF is cleared when any
of the following occur:
1) Learn cycle completes (CHGTF set).
2) Current register value becomes negative indicating discharge current flow.
3) ACR = 0
4) ACR value is written or recalled from EEPROM.
5) Sleep mode is entered.
LEARNF is read only.
UVF—Undervoltage Flag. UVF is set to indicate that the voltage measurement of the VIN pin is less than VUV, and
must be written to a 0 to allow subsequent undervoltage events to be reported. UVF is not cleared internally.
Writing UVF to 0 is effective only when VIN is greater or equal to VUV, otherwise, UV remains set due to the
persistent undervoltage condition. UVF is set on power-up.
PORF—Power-On Reset Flag. PORF is set to indicate initial power-up. PORF is not cleared internally. The user
must write this flag value to a 0 to use it to indicate subsequent power-up events. If PORF indicates a power-on
reset, the ACR could be misaligned with the actual battery state of charge. The system can request a charge to full
to synchronize the ACR with the battery charge state. PORF is read/write-to-zero.
X—Reserved Bits.
RESULT REGISTERS
The DS2784 processes measurement and cell characteristics on a 3.5s interval and yields seven result registers.
The result registers are sufficient for direct display to the user in most applications. The host system can produce
customized values for system use or user display by combining measurement, result and user EEPROM values.
FULL(T) [ ]—The full capacity of the battery at the present temperature is reported normalized to the 40°C full
value. This 15-bit value reflects the cell model Full value at the given temperature. FULL(T) reports values between
100% and 50% with a resolution of 61ppm (precisely 2-14). The register is clamped to a maximum value of 100%
even though the register format permits values greater than 100%.
Active Empty, AE(T) [ ]—The active-empty capacity of the battery at the present temperature is reported
normalized to the 40°C full value. This 13-bit value reflects the cell model active-empty value at the given
temperature. AE(T) reports values between 0% and 49.8% with a resolution of 61ppm (precisely 2-14).
Standby Empty, SE(T) [ ]—The standby-empty capacity of the battery at the present temperature is reported
normalized to the 40°C full value. This 13-bit value reflects the cell model standby-empty value at the current
temperature. SE(T) reports values between 0% and 49.8% with a resolution of 61ppm (precisely 2-14).
Remaining Active Absolute Capacity (RAAC) [mAh]—RAAC reports the remaining battery capacity available
under the current temperature conditions to the active-empty point in absolute units of milliamp-hours (mAhr).
RAAC is 16 bits.

forcing the PIO pin low. Writing a 1 to PIOB disables the output driver, allowing the PIO pin to be pulled high or
used as an input. Reading PIOB returns the logic level forced on the PIO pin. Note that if the PIO pin is high
impedance/unconnected with PIOB set, a weak pulldown current source pulls the PIO pin to VSS. PIOB is set to a 1
on power-up. PIOB is also set in Sleep mode to ensure the PIO pin is high-impedance in sleep mode.
Note: Do not write PIOB to 0 if PSPIO is enabled.

EEPROM REGISTER
The EEPROM register provides access control of the EEPROM blocks. EEPROM blocks can be locked to prevent
alteration of data within the block. Locking a block disables write access to the block. Once a block is locked, it
cannot be unlocked. Read access to EEPROM blocks is unaffected by the lock/unlock status.

MEMORY
The DS2784 has a 256-byte linear memory space with registers for instrumentation, status, and control, as well as
EEPROM memory blocks to store parameters and user information. Byte addresses designated as “Reserved”
typically return FFh when read. These bytes should not be written. Several byte registers are paired into two-byte
registers in order to store 16-bit values. The most significant byte (MSB) of the 16-bit value is located at the even
address and the least significant byte (LSB) is located at the next address (odd) byte. When the MSB of a two-byte
register is read, the MSB and LSB are latched simultaneously and held for the duration of the Read Data
command. This prevents updates to the LSB during the read ensuring synchronization between the two register
bytes. For consistent results, always read the MSB and the LSB of a two-byte register during the same read data
sequence.
EEPROM memory consists of nonvolatile (NV) EEPROM cells overlaying volatile shadow RAM. The read data and
write data protocols allow the 1-Wire interface to directly accesses the shadow RAM only. The Copy Data and
Recall Data Function commands transfer data between the EEPROM cells and the shadow RAM. In order to
modify the data stored in the EEPROM cells, data must be written to the shadow RAM and then copied to the
EERPOM. To verify the data stored in the EEPROM cells, the EEPROM data must be recalled to the shadow RAM
and then read from the shadow. After issuing the Copy Data Function command, access to the EEPROM block is
not available until the EEPROM copy completes, which takes 2ms typically (see tEEC in the Electrical Characteristics
table).

USER EEPROM—BLOCK 0
A 16-byte user EEPROM memory (block 0, addresses 20h–2Fh) provides NV memory that is uncommitted to other
DS2784 functions. Accessing the user EEPROM block does not affect the operation of the DS2784. User EEPROM
is lockable; once locked, write access is not allowed. The battery pack or host system manufacturer can program
lot codes, date codes, and other manufacturing or warranty or diagnostic information and then lock it to safeguard
the data. User EEPROM can also store parameters for charging to support different size batteries in a host device
as well as auxiliary model data such as time to full charge estimation parameters.
PARAMETER EEPROM—BLOCK 1
Model data for the cells, as well as application operating parameters, are stored in the parameter EEPROM (block
1, addresses 60h–7Fh). The ACR (MSB and LSB) and AS registers are automatically saved to EEPROM when the
RARC result crosses 4% boundaries. This allows the DS2784 to be located outside the protection FETs.

DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
AUTHENTICATION
Authentication is performed using a FIPS-180-compliant SHA-1 one-way hash algorithm on a 512-bit message
block. The message block consists of a 64-bit secret, a 64-bit challenge and 384 bits of constant data. Optionally,
the 64-bit net address replaces 64 of the 384 bits of constant data used in the hash operation. Contact Maxim for
details of the message block organization.
The host and the DS2784 both calculate the result based on the mutually known secret. The result of the hash
operation is known as the message authentication code (MAC) or message digest. The MAC is returned by the
DS2784 for comparison to the host’s MAC. Note that the secret is never transmitted on the bus and thus cannot be
captured by observing bus traffic. Each authentication attempt is initiated by the host system by providing a 64-bit
random challenge by the Write Challenge command. The host then issues the compute MAC or compute MAC with
ROM ID command. The MAC is computed per FIPS 180, and then returned as a 160-bit serial stream, beginning
with the least significant bit.
DS2784 AUTHENTICATION COMMANDS
WRITE CHALLENGE [0Ch]. This command writes the 64-bit challenge to the DS2784. The LSB of the 64-bit data
argument can begin immediately after the MSB of the command has been completed. If more than 64-bits are
written, the final value in the challenge register will be indeterminate. The Write Challenge command must be
issued prior to every Compute MAC or Compute Next Secret command for reliable results.
COMPUTE MAC WITHOUT ROM ID [36h]. This command initiates a SHA-1 computation without including the
ROM ID in the message block. Since the ROM ID is not used, this command allows the use of a master secret and
MAC response independent of the ROM ID. The DS2784 computes the MAC in tSHA after receiving the last bit of
this command. After the MAC computation is complete, the host must write 8 write-zero time slots and then issue
160 read-time slots to receive the 20-byte MAC. See Figure 10 for command timing.
COMPUTE MAC WITH ROM ID [35h]
This command is structured the same as the compute MAC without ROM ID, except that the ROM ID is included in
the message block. With the ROM ID unique to each DS2784 included in the MAC computation, the MAC is unique
to each token. See White Paper 4: Glossary of 1-Wire SHA-1 Terms, for more information. See Figure 10 for
command timing.
SHA-1-related commands used while authenticating a battery or peripheral device are summarized in Table 9 for
convenience. Four additional commands for clearing, computing, and locking of the secret are described in detail in
the following section.

SECRET MANAGEMENT FUNCTION COMMANDS
CLEAR SECRET [5Ah]. This command sets the 64-bit secret to all 0s (0000 0000 0000 0000h). The host must
wait tEEC for the DS2784 to write the new secret value to EEPROM. See Figure 13 for command timing.
COMPUTE NEXT SECRET WITHOUT ROM ID [30h]. This command initiates a SHA-1 computation of the MAC
and uses a portion of the resulting MAC as the next or new secret. The hash operation is performed with the
current 64-bit secret and the 64-bit challenge. Logical 1s are loaded in place of the ROM ID. 64 bits of the output
MAC are used as the new secret value. The host must allow tSHA after issuing this command for the SHA
calculation to complete, then wait tEEC for the DS2784 to write the new secret value to EEPROM. See Figure 11 for
command timing.
COMPUTE NEXT SECRET WITH ROM ID [33h]. This command initiates a SHA-1 computation of the MAC and
uses a portion of the resulting MAC as the next or new secret. The hash operation is performed with the current 64bit secret, the 64-bit ROM ID and the 64-bit challenge. 64 bits of the output MAC are used as the new secret value.
The host must allow tSHA after issuing this command for the SHA calculation to complete, then wait tEEC for the
DS2784 to write the new secret value to EEPROM. See Figure 11 for command timing.
LOCK SECRET [60h]. This command write protects the 64-bit secret to prevent accidental or malicious overwrite
of the secret value. The secret value stored in EEPROM becomes “final”. The host must wait tEEC for the DS2784 to
write the lock secret bit to EEPROM. See Figure 13 for command timing.

1-Wire BUS SYSTEM
The 1-Wire bus is a system that has a single bus master and one or more slaves. A multidrop bus is a 1-Wire bus
with multiple slaves, while a single-drop bus has only one slave device. In all instances, the DS2784 is a slave
device. The bus master is typically a microprocessor in the host system. The discussion of this bus system consists
of five topics: 64-bit net address, CRC generation, hardware configuration, transaction sequence, and 1-Wire
signaling.
64-BIT NET ADDRESS (ROM ID)
Each DS2784 has a unique, factory-programmed 1-Wire net address that is 64 bits in length. The term net address
is synonymous with the ROM ID or ROM code terms used in the DS2502 and other 1-Wire documentation. The first
eight bits of the net address are the 1-Wire family code (32h). The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last
eight bits are a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the first 56 bits (see Figure 7). The 64-bit net address and the
1-Wire I/O circuitry built into the device enable the DS2784 to communicate through the 1-Wire protocol detailed in
this data sheet.

DS2784: 1-Cell Stand-Alone Fuel Gauge IC with Li+ Protector and SHA-1 Authentication
CRC GENERATION
The DS2784 has an 8-bit CRC stored in the most significant byte of its 1-Wire net address and generates a CRC
during some command protocols. To ensure error-free transmission of the address, the host system can compute a
CRC value from the first 56 bits of the address and compare it to the CRC from the DS2784.
The host system is responsible for verifying the CRC value and taking action as a result. The DS2784 does not
compare CRC values and does not prevent a command sequence from proceeding as a result of a CRC mismatch.
Proper use of the CRC can result in a communication channel with a very high level of integrity.
The CRC can be generated by the host using a circuit consisting of a shift register and XOR gates as shown in
Figure 8, or it can be generated in software using the polynomial X8 + X5 + X4 + 1. Additional information about the
Dallas 1-Wire CRC is available in Application Note 27: Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks with
Dallas Semiconductor iButton Products.
In the circuit in Figure 8, the shift register bits are initialized to 0. Then, starting with the least significant bit of the
family code, one bit at a time is shifted in. After the 8th bit of the family code has been entered, then the serial
number is entered. After the 48th bit of the serial number has been entered, the shift register contains the CRC
value.

INPUT

XOR
During some command sequences, the DS2784 also generates an 8-bit CRC and provides this value to the bus
master to facilitate validation for the transfer of command, address, and data from the bus master to the DS2784.
The DS2784 computes an 8-bit CRC for the command and address bytes received from the bus master for the
read memory, read status, and read/generate CRC commands to confirm that these bytes have been received
correctly. The CRC generator on the DS2784 is also used to provide verification of error-free data transfer as each
EEPROM page is sent to the master during a Read Data/Generate CRC command and for the 8 bytes of
information in the status memory field.
In each case where a CRC is used for data transfer validation, the bus master must calculate the CRC value using
the same polynomial function and compare the calculated value to the CRC either stored in the DS2784 Net
Address or computed by the DS2784. The comparison of CRC values and decision to continue with an operation
are determined entirely by the bus master. There is no circuitry in the DS2784 that prevents the command
sequence from proceeding if the stored or calculated CRC from the DS2784 and the calculated CRC from the host
do not match.
HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
Because the 1-Wire bus has only a single line, it is important that each device on the bus be able to drive it at the
appropriate time. To facilitate this, each device attached to the 1-Wire bus must connect to the bus with open-drain
or tri-state output drivers. The DS2784 uses an open-drain output driver as part of the bidirectional interface
circuitry shown in Figure 9. If a bidirectional pin is not available on the bus master, separate output, and input pins
can be connected together.

The 1-Wire bus must have a pullup resistor at the bus-master end of the bus. A value of between 2k and 5k is
recommended. The idle state for the 1-Wire bus is high. If, for any reason, a bus transaction must be suspended,
the bus must be left in the idle state to properly resume the transaction later. Note that if the bus is left low for more
than tLOW0, slave devices on the bus begin to interpret the low period as a reset pulse, effectively terminating the
transaction.
Figure 9. 1-Wire Bus Interface Circuitry
TRANSACTION SEQUENCE
The protocol for accessing the DS2784 through the 1-Wire port is as follows:

Initialization

Net Address Command

Function Command(s)

Data Transfer (not all commands have data transfer)
All transactions of the 1-Wire bus begin with an initialization sequence consisting of a reset pulse transmitted by the
bus master, followed by a presence pulse simultaneously transmitted by the DS2784 and any other slaves on the
bus. The presence pulse tells the bus master that one or more devices are on the bus and ready to operate. For
more details, see the Net Address Commands section.
NET ADDRESS COMMANDS
Once the bus master has detected the presence of one or more slaves, it can issue one of the net address
commands described in the following paragraphs. The name of each net address command (ROM command) is
followed by the 8-bit op code for that command in square brackets.
Read Net Address [33h]. This command allows the bus master to read the DS2784’s 1-Wire net address. This
command can only be used if there is a single slave on the bus. If more than one slave is present, a data collision
occurs when all slaves try to transmit at the same time (open drain produces a wired-AND result).
Match Net Address [55h]. This command allows the bus master to specifically address one DS2784 on the 1-Wire
bus. Only the addressed DS2784 responds to any subsequent function command. All other slave devices ignore
the function command and wait for a reset pulse. This command can be used with one or more slave devices on
the bus.
Skip Net Address [CCh]. This command saves time when there is only one DS2784 on the bus by allowing the
bus master to issue a function command without specifying the address of the slave. If more than one slave device
is present on the bus, a subsequent function command can cause a data collision when all slaves transmit data at
the same time.

Search Net Address [F0h]. This command allows the bus master to use a process of elimination to identify the
1-Wire net addresses of all slave devices on the bus. The search process involves the repetition of a simple threestep routine: read a bit, read the complement of the bit, then write the desired value of that bit. The bus master
performs this simple three-step routine on each bit location of the net address. After one complete pass through all
64 bits, the bus master knows the address of one device. The remaining devices can then be identified on
additional iterations of the process. See Chapter 5 of the Book of iButton® Standards for a comprehensive
discussion of a net address search, including an actual example (www.maxim-ic.com/iButtonBook).
FUNCTION COMMANDS
After successfully completing one of the net address commands, the bus master can access the features of the
DS2784 with any of the function commands described in the following paragraphs. The name of each function is
followed by the 8-bit op code for that command in square brackets. The function commands are summarized below
in Table 11.
Read Data [69h, XX]. This command reads data from the DS2784 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of the
data in address XX is available to be read immediately after the MSb of the address has been entered. Because
the address is automatically incremented after the MSb of each byte is received, the LSb of the data at address
XX + 1 is available to be read immediately after the MSb of the data at address XX. If the bus master continues to
read beyond address FFh, data is read starting at memory address 00 and the address is automatically
incremented until a reset pulse occurs. Addresses labeled “Reserved” in the memory map contain undefined data
values. The Read Data command can be terminated by the bus master with a reset pulse at any bit boundary.
Reads from EEPROM block addresses return the data in the shadow RAM. A Recall Data command is required to
transfer data from the EEPROM to the shadow. See Table 7 for more details.
Write Data [6Ch, XX]. This command writes data to the DS2784 starting at memory address XX. The LSb of the
data to be stored at address XX can be written immediately after the MSb of address has been entered. Because
the address is automatically incremented after the MSb of each byte is written, the LSb to be stored at address XX
+ 1 can be written immediately after the MSb to be stored at address XX. If the bus master continues to write
beyond address FFh, the data starting at address 00 is overwritten. Writes to read-only addresses, reserved
addresses and locked EEPROM blocks are ignored. Incomplete bytes are not written. Writes to unlocked EEPROM
block addresses modify the shadow RAM. A Copy Data command is required to transfer data from the shadow to
the EEPROM. See Table 7 for more details.
Copy Data [48h, XX]. This command copies the contents of the EEPROM shadow RAM to EEPROM cells for the
EEPROM block containing address XX. Copy Data commands that address locked blocks are ignored. While the
copy data command is executing, the EEC bit in the EEPROM register is set to 1 and writes to EEPROM
addresses are ignored. Reads and writes to non-EEPROM addresses can still occur while the copy is in progress.
The Copy Data command takes tEEC time to execute, starting on the next falling edge after the address is
transmitted.
Recall Data [B8h, XX]. This command recalls the contents of the EEPROM cells to the EEPROM shadow memory
for the EEPROM block containing address XX.
Lock [6Ah, XX]. This command locks (write protects) the block of EEPROM containing address XX. The lock bit in
the EEPROM register must be set to 1 before the Lock command is executed. To help prevent unintentional locks,
one must issue the Lock command immediately after setting the lock bit (EEPROM register, address 1Fh, bit 06) to
a 1. If the lock bit is 0 or if setting the lock bit to 1 does not immediately precede the Lock command, the Lock
command has no effect. The Lock command is permanent; a locked block can never be written again.

I/O SIGNALING
The 1-Wire bus requires strict signaling protocols to ensure data integrity. The four protocols used by the DS2784
are as follows: the initialization sequence (reset pulse followed by presence pulse), write 0, write 1, and read data.
The bus master initiates all these types of signaling except the presence pulse.
The initialization sequence required to begin any communication with the DS2784 is shown in Figure 14. A
presence pulse following a reset pulse indicates that the DS2784 is ready to accept a net address command. The
bus master transmits (Tx) a reset pulse for tRSTL. The bus master then releases the line and goes into Receive
mode (Rx). The 1-Wire bus line is then pulled high by the pullup resistor. After detecting the rising edge on the DQ
pin, the DS2784 waits for tPDH and then transmits the presence pulse for tPDL.

WRITE-TIME SLOTS
A write-time slot is initiated when the bus master pulls the 1-Wire bus from a logic-high (inactive) level to a logic-low
level. There are two types of write-time slots: write 1 and write 0. All write-time slots must be tSLOT in duration with a
1s minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles. The DS2784 samples the 1-Wire bus line between tLOW1_MAX and
tLOW0_MIN after the line falls. If the line is high when sampled, a write 1 occurs. If the line is low when sampled, a
write 0 occurs. The sample window is illustrated in Figure 15. For the bus master to generate a write-1 time slot, the
bus line must be pulled low and then released, allowing the line to be pulled high less than tRDV after the start of the
write time slot. For the host to generate a write 0 time slot, the bus line must be pulled low and held low for the
duration of the write-time slot.
READ-TIME SLOTS
A read-time slot is initiated when the bus master pulls the 1-Wire bus line from a logic-high level to a logic-low level.
The bus master must keep the bus line low for at least 1s and then release it to allow the DS2784 to present valid
data. The bus master can then sample the data tRDV from the start of the read-time slot. By the end of the read-time
slot, the DS2784 releases the bus line and allows it to be pulled high by the external pullup resistor. All read-time
slots must be tSLOT in duration with a 1s minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles. See Figure 15 and the
timing specifications in the Electrical Characteristics table for more information.
