DESCRIPTION
The DS2751 multichemistry battery fuel gauge is a data-acquisition and information-storage device
tailored for cost-sensitive and space-constrained 1-cell Li+/polymer or 3-cell Ni battery-pack
applications. The DS2751 provides the key hardware components required to accurately estimate
remaining capacity by integrating low-power, precision measurements of temperature, voltage, current,
and current accumulation, as well as nonvolatile (NV) data storage, into the small footprint of a 3.0mm x
4.4mm 8-pin TSSOP package.
Through its 1-Wire interface, the DS2751 gives the host system read/write access to status and control
registers, instrumentation registers, and general-purpose data storage. Each device has a unique factory-
programmed 64-bit net address that allows it to be individually addressed by the host system, supporting
multibattery operation.
The DS2751 performs temperature, voltage, and current measurement to a resolution sufficient to support
process-monitoring applications such as battery charge control and remaining capacity estimation.
Temperature is measured using an on-chip sensor, eliminating the need for a separate thermistor.
Bidirectional current measurement and accumulation are accomplished using either an internal 25mW
sense resistor or an external device. The DS2751 also features a programmable I/O pin that allows the
host system to sense and control other electronics in the pack, including switches, vibration motors,
speakers, and LEDs.
Three types of memory are provided on the DS2751 for battery information storage: EEPROM, lockable
EEPROM, and SRAM. EEPROM memory saves important battery data in true NV memory that is
unaffected by severe battery depletion, accidental shorts, or ESD events. Lockable EEPROM becomes
ROM when locked to provide additional security for unchanging battery data. SRAM provides
inexpensive storage for temporary data.

POWER MODES
The DS2751 has two power modes: active and sleep. While in active mode, the DS2751 continuously
measures current, voltage, and temperature to provide data to the host system to support current
accumulation. In sleep mode, the DS2751 ceases these activities. The DS2751 enters sleep mode when
PMOD = 1 and either of the following occur:
§ the DQ line is low for longer than tSLEEP (2.2s) (pack disconnection).
§ the UVEN bit in the Status Register is set to 1 and the voltage on VIN drops below undervoltage
threshold VUV for tUVD (cell depletion)
The DS2751 returns to active mode when the DQ line is pulled from a low-to-high state and the voltage
on VIN is above VUV. The factory default for the DS2751 is UVEN = PMOD = 0.
The DS2751 defaults to active mode when power is first applied.

CURRENT MEASUREMENT
In the active mode of operation, the DS2751 continually measures the current flow into and out of the
battery by measuring the voltage drop across a current-sense resistor. The DS2751 is available in two
configurations: 1) internal 25mW current-sense resistor, and 2) external user-selectable sense resistor. In
either configuration, the DS2751 considers the voltage difference between pins IS1 and IS2 (VIS = VIS1 -
VIS2) to be the filtered voltage drop across the sense resistor. A positive VIS value indicates current is
flowing into the battery (charging), while a negative VIS value indicates current is flowing out of the
battery (discharging).
VIS is measured with a signed resolution of 12 bits. The Current Register is updated in two’s-complement
format every 88ms with an average of 128 measurements. Currents outside the range of the register are
reported at the limit of the range. The format of the Current Register is shown in Figure 3.
For the internal sense resistor configuration, the DS2751 maintains the Current Register in units of amps,
with a resolution of 0.625mA and full-scale range of no less than ±1.9A (see Note 7 on IFS spec for more
details). The DS2751 automatically compensates for internal sense-resistor process variations and
temperature effects when reporting current.
For the external sense resistor configuration, the DS2751 updates the measured VIS voltage to the Current
Register in units of volts, with a resolution of 15.625mV and a ±64mV full-scale range.

CURRENT ACCUMULATOR
The Current Accumulator facilitates remaining capacity estimation by tracking the net current flow into
and out of the battery. Current flow into the battery increments the Current Accumulator, while current
flow out of the battery decrements it. Data is maintained in the Current Accumulator in two’s-
complement format. The format of the Current Accumulator is shown in Figure 4.
When the internal sense resistor is used, the DS2751 maintains the Current Accumulator in units of amp-
hours, with a resolution of 0.25mAhrs and a ±8.2Ahrs full-scale range. When using an external sense
resistor, the DS2751 maintains the Current Accumulator in units of volt-hours, with a resolution of
6.25mVhrs and a ±205mVhrs full-scale range.
The Current Accumulator is a read/write register that can be altered by the host system as needed.

CURRENT OFFSET COMPENSATION
Current measurement and the current accumulation are both internally compensated for offset on a
continual basis minimizing error resulting from variations in device temperature and voltage.
Additionally, a constant bias can be utilized to alter any other sources of offset. This bias resides in
EEPROM address 33h in two’s-complement format and is subtracted from each current measurement.
The current offset bias is applied to both the internal and external sense resistor configurations. The
factory default for the current offset bias is a value of 0.

PROGRAMMABLE I/O
To use the PIO pin as an output, write the desired output value to the PIO bit in the Special Feature
Register. Writing a 0 to the PIO bit enables the PIO output driver, pulling the PIO pin to VSS. Writing a 1
to the PIO bit disables the output driver, allowing the PIO pin to be pulled high or used as an input. To
sense the value on the PIO pin, read the PIO bit. The DS2751 turns off the PIO output driver and sets the
PIO bit high when in sleep mode or when DQ is low for more than tSLEEP (2.2s), regardless of the state of
the PMOD bit.
MEMORY
The DS2751 has a 256-byte linear address space with registers for instrumentation, status, and control in
the lower 32 bytes, with lockable EEPROM and SRAM memory occupying portions of the remaining
address space. All EEPROM and SRAM memory is general-purpose except addresses 31h and 33h,
which should be written with the default values for the Status Register and Current Offset Register,
respectively. When the MSB of any two-byte register is read, both the MSB and LSB are latched and held
for the duration of the Read Data command to prevent updates during the read and to ensure
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 command sequence.
EEPROM memory is shadowed by RAM to eliminate programming delays between writes and to allow
the data to be verified by the host system before being copied to EEPROM. All reads and writes to/from
EEPROM memory actually access the shadow RAM. In unlocked EEPROM blocks, the Write Data
command updates shadow RAM. In locked EEPROM blocks, the Write Data command is ignored. The
Copy Data command copies the contents of shadow RAM to EEPROM in an unlocked block of
EEPROM but has no effect on locked blocks. The Recall Data command copies the contents of a block of
EEPROM to shadow RAM regardless of whether the block is locked or not.

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. A single-drop bus has only one slave device. In all instances, the DS2751
is a slave device. The bus master is typically a microprocessor in the host system. The discussion of this
bus system consists of four topics: 64-Bit Net Address, Hardware Configuration, Transaction Sequence,
and 1-Wire Signaling.
64-BIT NET ADDRESS
Each DS2751 has a unique, factory-programmed 1-Wire net address that is 64 bits in length. The first 8
bits are the 1-Wire family code (51h for DS2751). The next 48 bits are a unique serial number. The last 8
bits are a CRC of the first 56 bits (see Figure 11). The 64-bit net address and the 1-Wire I/O circuitry built
into the device enable the DS2751 to communicate through the 1-Wire protocol detailed in the 1-Wire
Bus System section of this data sheet.

Code (51h)
MSb LSb
CRC GENERATION
The DS2751 has an 8-bit CRC stored in the most significant byte of its 1-Wire net address. 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 DS2751. The host system is responsible for verifying the
CRC value and taking action as a result. The DS2751 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 12, or it can be generated in software. Additional information about the Dallas 1-Wire
CRC is available in Application Note 27: Understanding and Using Cyclic Redundancy Checks with
Dallas Semiconductor Touch Memory Products.
In the circuit in Figure 12, the shift 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.

Figure 12. 1-WIRE CRC GENERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
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 DS2751 uses an open-drain output driver as part of the
bidirectional interface circuitry shown in Figure 13. 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. For short line lengths, the
value of this resistor should be approximately 5kW. 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 in order to properly
resume the transaction later. If the bus is left low for more than 120ms, slave devices on the bus begin to
interpret the low period as a reset pulse, effectively terminating the transaction.

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 DS2751
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 I/O Signaling 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 ROM command is followed by the
8-bit opcode for that command in square brackets. Figure 14 presents a transaction flowchart of the net
address commands.
Read Net Address [33h or 39h]. This command allows the bus master to read the DS2751’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). The RNAOP bit in the Status Register selects the opcode for this command, with
RNAOP = 0 indicating 33h and RNAOP = 1 indicating 39h.
Match Net Address [55h]. This command allows the bus master to specifically address one DS2751 on
the 1-Wire bus. Only the addressed DS2751 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 DS2751 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 three-step 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 DS19xx iButton® Standards for a comprehensive discussion of a net address search, including an actual
example. This publication can be found on the Maxim/Dallas website at www.maxim-ic.com.
FUNCTION COMMANDS
After successfully completing one of the net address commands, the bus master can access the features of
the DS2751 with any of the function commands described in the following paragraphs. The name of each
function is followed by the 8-bit opcode for that command in square brackets.
Read Data [69h, XX]. This command reads data from the DS2751 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, the DS2751 outputs logic 1 until a reset pulse
occurs. Addresses labeled “reserved” in the memory map contain undefined data. The Read Data
command can be terminated by the bus master with a reset pulse at any bit boundary.

Write Data [6Ch, XX]. This command writes data to the DS2751 starting at memory address XX. The
LSb of the data to be stored at address XX can be written immediately after the MSb of the 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 DS2751 ignores the data. Writes to read-
only addresses, reserved addresses and locked EEPROM blocks are ignored. Incomplete bytes are not
written. Writes to unlocked EEPROM blocks are to shadow RAM rather than EEPROM. See the Memory
section for more details.
Copy Data [48h, XX]. This command copies the contents of shadow RAM to EEPROM for the 16-byte
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 execution time, tEEC, is 2ms typical and starts after the last
address bit is transmitted.
Recall Data [B8h, XX]. This command recalls the contents of the 16-byte EEPROM block containing
address XX to shadow RAM.
Lock [6Ah, XX]. This command locks (write-protects) the 16-byte block of EEPROM memory
containing memory address XX. The LOCK bit in the EEPROM Register must be set to l before the Lock
command is executed. If the LOCK bit is 0, 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 insure data integrity. The four protocols used by the
DS2751 are: the initialization sequence (reset pulse followed by presence pulse), Write 0, Write 1, and
Read Data. All of these types of signaling except the presence pulse are initiated by the bus master.
The initialization sequence required to begin any communication with the DS2751 is shown in Figure 15.
A presence pulse following a reset pulse indicates the DS2751 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 DS2751 waits for tPDH and then transmits the Presence Pulse for tPDL.
Figure 15. 1-WIRE INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
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 (60ms to 120ms) in duration with a 1ms minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles. The
DS2751 samples the 1-Wire bus line between 15ms and 60ms 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 (see Figure 16). 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 within 15ms 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 1ms and then release it to allow the
DS2751 to present valid data. The bus master can then sample the data tRDV (15ms) from the start of the
read time slot. By the end of the read time slot, the DS2751 releases the bus line and allows it to be pulled
high by the external pullup resistor. All read time slots must be tSLOT (60ms to 120ms) in duration with a
1ms minimum recovery time, tREC, between cycles. See Figure 16 for more information.
