60V Battery Gas Gauge
with Temperature, Voltage
and Current Measurement
The LT C
®
2944 measures battery charge state, battery volt-
age, battery current and its own temperature in portable
product applications. The wide input voltage range allows
use with multicell batteries up to 60V. A precision coulomb
counter integrates current through a sense resistor between
the battery’s positive terminal and the load or charger.
Voltage, current and temperature are measured with an
internal 14-bit No Latency ΔΣ™ ADC. The measurements
are stored in internal registers accessible via the onboard
I2C/SMBus Interface.
The LTC2944 features programmable high and low thresh-
olds for all four measured quantities. If a programmed
threshold is exceeded, the device communicates an alert
using either the SMBus alert protocol or by setting a flag
in the internal status register. The LTC2944 requires only
a single low value sense resistor to set the measured
current range.

operaTion
Overview
The LTC2944 is a battery gas gauge designed for use
with multicell batteries with terminal voltages from 3.6V
to 60V. It measures battery charge and discharge, battery
voltage, current and its own temperature.
A precision analog coulomb counter integrates current
through a sense resistor between the battery’s positive
terminal and the load or charger. Battery voltage, battery
current and silicon temperature are measured with an
internal ADC.
Coulomb Counter
Charge is the time integral of current. The LTC2944 mea-
sures charge by monitoring the voltage developed across
a sense resistor. The differential voltage between SENSE+
and SENSE– is applied to an auto-zeroed differential analog
integrator to infer charge.
When the integrator output ramps to REFHI or REFLO
levels, switches S1, S2, S3 and S4 toggle to reverse the
ramp direction (Figure 2). By observing the condition of
the switches and the ramp direction, polarity is determined.
This approach also significantly lowers the impact on offset
of the analog integrator as described in the Differential
Offset Voltage section.
A programmable prescaler effectively increases integration
time by a factor M programmable from 1 to 4096. At each
underflow or overflow of the prescaler, the accumulated
charge register (ACR) value is incremented or decremented
one count. The value of accumulated charge is read via
the I2C interface.
Voltage, Current and Temperature ADC
The LTC2944 includes a 14-bit No Latency ΔΣ analog-to-
digital converter, with internal clock and voltage reference
circuits.
The ADC can be used to monitor the battery voltage at
SENSE– or the battery current flowing through the sense
resistor or to convert the output of the on-chip tempera-
ture sensor.
Conversion of voltage, current and temperature are trig-
gered by programming the control register via the I2C
interface. The LTC2944 includes a scan mode where
voltage, current and temperature conversion measure-
ments are executed every 10 seconds. At the end of each
conversion the corresponding registers are updated and
the converter goes to sleep to minimize quiescent current.
The temperature sensor generates a voltage proportional
to temperature with a slope of 2mV/K resulting in a volt-
age of 600mV at 27°C.
Power-Up Sequence
When SENSE+ rises above a threshold of approximately
3.3V, the LTC2944 generates an internal power-on reset
(POR) signal and sets all registers to their default state.
In the default state, the coulomb counter is active while
the voltage, current and temperature ADC is switched
off. The accumulated charge register is set to mid-scale
(7FFFh), all low threshold registers are set to 0000h and all
high threshold registers are set to FFFFh. The alert mode
is enabled and the coulomb counter prescaling factor M
is set to 4096.

Internal Registers
The LTC2944 register map is shown in Table 1. The
LTC2944 integrates current through a sense resistor,
measures battery voltage, current and temperature and
stores the results in internal 16-bit registers accessible
via I2C. High and low limits can be programmed for each
measured quantity. The LTC2944 continuously monitors
these limits and sets a flag in the status register when a
limit is exceeded. If the alert mode is enabled, the ALCC
pin pulls low.

After each voltage, current or temperature conversion, the
conversion result is compared to the respective threshold
registers. If a value in the threshold registers is exceeded,
the corresponding bit A[6], A[4] or A[1] is set.
The accumulated charge register (ACR) is compared to
the charge thresholds every time the analog integrator
increments or decrements the prescaler. If the ACR value
exceeds the threshold register values, the corresponding
bit A[3] or A[2] are set. Bit A[5] is set if the accumulated
charge registers (ACR) overflows or underflows. At each
overflow or underflow, the ACR rolls over and resumes
integration.
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) bit of the status register
A[0] is set if, during operation, the voltage on the SENSE+
pin drops below 3.5V without reaching the POR level. The
analog parts of the coulomb counter are switched off while
the digital register values are retained. After recovery of the
supply voltage, the coulomb counter resumes integrating

but it has missed any charge flowing while SENSE+ < 3.5V.
All status register bits are cleared after being read by the
host, but might be reasserted after the next temperature,

corresponding alert condition is still fulfilled.

Power Down B[0]
Setting B[0] to 1 shuts down the analog parts of the
LTC2944, reducing the current consumption to less than
15μA (typical). The circuitry managing I2C communica-
tion remains operating and the values in the registers are
retained. Note that any charge flowing while B[0] is 1 is
not measured and any charge information below 1LSB of
the accumulated charge register is lost.
Alert/Charge Complete Configuration B[2:1]
The ALCC pin is a dual function pin configured by the
control register. By setting bits B[2:1] to [10] (default),
the ALCC pin is configured as an alert pin following the
SMBus protocol. In this configuration, the ALCC is pulled
low if one of the four measured quantities (charge, voltage,
current, temperature) exceeds its high or low threshold or
if the value of the accumulated charge register overflows
or underflows. An alert response procedure started by the
master resets the alert at the ALCC pin. If the configura-
tion of the ALCC pin is changed while it is pulled low due
to an alert condition, the part will continue to pull ALCC
low until a successful alert response procedure (ARA) has
been issued by the master. For further information see the
Alert Response Protocol section.
Setting the control bits B[2:1] to [01] configures the
ALCC pin as a digital input. In this mode, a low input on
the ALCC pin indicates to the LTC2944 that the battery
is full and the accumulated charge register is set to its
maximum, value FFFFh.

If neither the alert nor the charge complete functionality
is desired, bits B[2:1] should be set to [00]. The ALCC
pin is then disabled and should be tied to the supply of
the I2C bus with a 10k resistor.
Avoid setting B[2:1] to [11] as it enables the alert and the
charge complete modes simultaneously.
Choosing RSENSE
To achieve the specified precision of the coulomb counter,
the differential voltage between SENSE+ and SENSE– must
stay within ±50mV. With input signals up to 300mV the
LTC2944 will remain functional but the precision of the
coulomb counter is not guaranteed.
The required value of the external sense resistor, RSENSE,
is determined by the maximum input range of VSENSE and
the maximum current of the application:
RSENSE ≤
50mV
I
MAX
The choice of the external sense resistor value influences
the gain of the coulomb counter. A larger sense resistor
gives a larger differential voltage between SENSE+ and
SENSE– for the same current resulting in more precise
coulomb counting. The amount of charge represented by
the least significant bit (qLSB) of the accumulated charge
(registers C, D) is equal to:
qLSB = 0.340mAh•
50mΩ
R
SENSE
•
M
4096
or
qLSB = 0.340mAh•
50mΩ
R
SENSE
when the prescaler is set to its default value of M = 4096.
Note that 1mAh = 3.6C (coulomb).
Choosing RSENSE = 50mV/IMAX is not sufficient in
applications where the battery capacity (QBAT) is very large
compared to the maximum current (IMAX):
QBAT >IMAX •22Hours
For such low current applications with a large battery,
choosing RSENSE according to RSENSE = 50mV/IMAX can
lead to a qLSB smaller than QBAT/216 and the 16-bit accu-
mulated charge register may underflow before the battery
is exhausted or overflow during charge. Choose, in this
case, a maximum RSENSE of:
RSENSE ≤0.340mAh•216
Q
BAT
•50mΩ
In an example application where the maximum current is
IMAX = 100mA, calculating RSENSE = 50mV/IMAX would
lead to a sense resistor of 500mΩ. This gives a qLSB of
34μAh and the accumulated charge register can represent
a maximum battery capacity of QBAT = 34μAh•65535 =
2228mAh. If the battery capacity is larger, RSENSE must
be lowered. For example, RSENSE should be reduced to
150mΩ if a battery with a capacity of 7200mAh is used.
Choosing Coulomb Prescaler M B[5:3]
If the battery capacity (QBAT) is small compared to the
maximum current (IMAX) the prescaler value M should
be changed from its default value (4096).
In these applications with a small battery but a high maxi-
mum current, qLSB can get quite large with respect to the
battery capacity. For example, if the battery capacity is
100mAh and the maximum current is 1A, the standard
equation leads to choosing a sense resistor value of
50mΩ, resulting in:
qLSB = 0.340mAh=1224mC
The battery capacity then corresponds to only 294 qLSB
and less than 0.5% of the accumulated charge register
is utilized.
To preserve digital resolution in this case, the LTC2944
includes a programmable prescaler. Lowering the prescaler
factor M reduces qLSB to better match the accumulated
charge register to the capacity of the battery. The prescaling
factor M can be chosen between 1 and its default value
of 4096. The charge LSB then becomes:
qLSB = 0.34mAh•

To use as much of the range of the accumulated charge
register as possible the prescaler factor M should be
chosen for a given battery capacity QBAT and a sense
resistor RSENSE as:
M≥ 4096 •

M can be set to 1, 4, 16, ... 4096 by programming B[5:3]
of the control register as M = 22 • (4 • B[5] + 2 • B[4] + B[3]).
The default value is 4096.
In the above example of a 100mAh battery and an RSENSE
of 50mΩ, the prescaler should be programmed to
M = 64. The qLSB is then 5.313μAh and the battery capacity
corresponds to roughly 18821 qLSBs.
Figure 3 illustrates the best choice for prescaler value M
and the sense resistor as function of the ratio between
battery capacity (QBAT) and maximum current (IMAX). It
can be seen, that for high current applications with low
battery capacity the prescaler value should be reduced,
whereas in low current applications with a large battery
the sense resistor should be reduced with respect to its
default value of 50mV/IMAX.
ADC Mode B[7:6]
The LTC2944 features an ADC which measures either
voltage on SENSE– (battery voltage), voltage difference
between SENSE+ and SENSE– (battery current) or tem-
perature via an internal temperature sensor. The reference
voltage and clock for the ADC are generated internally.
The ADC has four different modes of operation as shown
in Table 3. These modes are controlled by bits B[7:6] of
the control register. At power-up, bits B[7:6] are set to
[00] and the ADC is in sleep mode.
A single conversion of the three measured quantities
is initiated by setting the bit B[7:6] to [01]. After three
conversions (voltage, current and temperature), the ADC
resets B[7:6] to [00] and goes back to sleep.
The LTC2944 is set to scan mode by setting B[7:6] to
[10]. In scan mode the ADC converts voltage, current,
then temperature, then sleeps for approximately ten
seconds. It then reawakens automatically and repeats the
three conversions. The chip remains in scan mode until
reprogrammed by the host.
Programming B[7:6] to [11] sets the chip into automatic
mode where the ADC continuously performs voltage,
current and temperature conversions. The chip stays in
automatic mode until reprogrammed by the host.
Programming B[7:6] to [00] puts the ADC to sleep. If
control bits B[7:6] change within a conversion, the ADC
will complete the running cycle of conversions before
entering the newly selected mode.
A conversion of voltage requires 33ms (typical), and cur-
rent and temperature conversions are completed in 4.5ms
(typical). At the end of each conversion, the corresponding
registers are updated. If the converted quantity exceeds
the values programmed in the threshold registers, a flag
is set in the status register and the ALCC pin is pulled low
(if alert mode is enabled).
During ADC conversions additional currents are sunk from
SENSE+ and SENSE–, refer to the Electrical Characteristics
table for details.

Alert Thresholds Registers (E,F,G,H,K,L,M,N,Q,R,S,
T,W,X)
For each of the measured quantities (battery charge,
voltage, current and temperature) the LTC2944 features
high and low threshold registers. At power-up, the high
thresholds are set to FFFFh while the low thresholds are set
to 0000h, with the effect of disabling them. All thresholds
can be programmed to a desired value via I2C. As soon
as a measured quantity exceeds the high threshold or
falls below the low threshold, the LTC2944 sets the cor-
responding flag in the status register and pulls the ALCC
pin low if alert mode is enabled via bits B[2:1].
Accumulated Charge Register (C,D)
The coulomb counting circuitry in the LTC2944 integrates
current through the sense resistor. The result of this charge
integration is stored in the 16-bit accumulated charge
register (registers C, D). As the LTC2944 does not know
the actual battery status at power-up, the accumulated
charge register (ACR) is set to mid-scale (7FFFh). If the
host knows the status of the battery, the accumulated
charge (C[7:0]D[7:0]) can be either programmed to the
correct value via I2C or it can be set after charging to FFFFh
(full) by pulling the ALCC pin low if charge complete mode
is enabled via bits B[2:1]. Note that before writing to the
accumulated charge registers, the analog section should
be temporarily shut down by setting B[0] to 1. In order to
avoid a change in the accumulated charge registers between
reading MSBs C[7:0] and LSBs D[7:0], it is recommended
to read them sequentially as shown in Figure 11.
Voltage Registers (I,J), and Voltage Threshold
Registers (K,L,M,N)
The result of the 16-bit ADC conversion of the voltage at
SENSE– is stored in the voltage registers (I, J).
From the result of the 16-bit voltage registers I[7:0]J[7:0]
the measured voltage can be calculated as:
VSENSE–=70.8V •

65535 ≈ 48.705V
Example 2: To set a low level threshold for the battery
voltage of 31.2V, register M should be programmed to
70h and register N to D0h.
Current Registers (O,P), and Current Threshold
Registers (Q,R,S,T)
The result of the current conversion is stored in the cur-
rent registers (O,P).
As the ADC resolution is 12 bits in current mode, the
lowest four bits of the combined current registers (O, P)
are always zero.
The ADC measures battery current by converting the volt-
age, VSENSE, across the sense resistor RSENSE. Depending
whether the battery is being charged or discharged the
measured voltage drop on RSENSE is positive or negative.
The result is stored in registers O and P in excess –32767
representation. O[7:0] = FFh, P[7:0] = F0h corresponds to
the full scale positive voltage 64mV. While O[7:0] = 00h,
P[7:0] = 00h corresponds to the full scale negative volt-
age –64mV. The battery current can be obtained from the
two byte register O[7:0]P[7:0] and the value of the chosen
sense resistor RSENSE:

The positive current result indicates that the battery is
being charged.
The values in the threshold register for the current mode
Q,R,S,T are also expressed in excess –32767 representa-
tion in the same manner as the current conversion result.
The alert after a current measurement is set if the result
is higher than the value stored in the high threshold reg-
isters Q,R or lower than the value stored in the low value
registers S,T.
Example 2: In an application, the user wants to get an
alert if the absolute current through the sense resistor,
RSENSE, of 50mΩ exceeds 1A. This is achieved by setting
the upper threshold IHIGH in register [Q,R] to 1A and the
lower threshold ILOW in register [S,T] to –1A. The formula
for IBAT leads to:
IHIGH(DEC) =
1A •50mΩ
64mV •32767
+ 32767= 58366
ILOW (DEC) =–1A •50mΩ
64mV •32767
+ 32767= 7168
Leading the user to set Q[7:0] = E3h, R[7:0] = FEh for the
high threshold and S[7:0] = 1Bh and T[7:0] = FFh for the
low threshold.
Temperature Registers (U,V) and Temperature
Threshold Registers (W,X)
As the ADC resolution is 11 bits in temperature mode, the
lowest five bits of the combined temperature registers
(U, V) are always zero.
The actual temperature can be obtained from the two byte
register U[7:0]V[7:0] by:
T = 510K •RESULTh
FFFF
h
=510K •RESULTDEC
65535
Example: a register value of U[7:0] = 96h V[7:0] = 96h
corresponds to ~300K or ~27°C
A high temperature limit of 60°C is programmed by setting
register W to A7h. Note that the temperature threshold
register is single byte register and only the eight MSBs of
the 11 bits temperature result are checked.
Effect of Differential Offset Voltage on Total Charge
Error
In battery gas gauges, an important parameter is the
differential offset (VOS) of the circuitry monitoring the
battery charge. Many coulomb counter devices perform
an analog to digital conversion of VSENSE, where VSENSE
is the voltage drop across the sense resistor, and ac-
cumulate the conversion results to infer charge. In such
an architecture, the differential offset VOS causes relative
charge error of VOS/VSENSE. For small VSENSE values VOS
can be the main source of error.
The LTC2944 performs the tracking of the charge with an
analog integrator. This approach allows to continuously
monitor the battery charge and significantly lowers the
error due to differential offset. The relative charge error
due to offset (CEOV) can be expressed by:
CEOV =VOS
VSENSE
2
As example, at a 1mV input signal a differential voltage
offset VOS = 20µV results in a 2% error using digital
integration, whereas the error is only 0.04% (a factor of
50 times smaller!) using the analog integration approach
of LTC2944.
The reduction of the impact of the offset in LTC2944 can
be explained by its integration scheme depicted in Figure 2.
While positive offset accelerates the up ramping of the
integrator output from REFLO to REFHI, it slows the down
ramping from REFHI to REFLO thus the effect is largely
canceled as depicted in Figure 4.

Each device on the I2C/SMbus is recognized by a unique
address stored in that device and can operate as either a
transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of the
device. In addition to transmitters and receivers, devices
can also be classified as masters or slaves when perform-
ing data transfers. A master is the device which initiates a
data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to
permit that transfer. At the same time any device addressed
is considered a slave. The LTC2944 always acts as a slave.
Figure 5 shows an overview of the data transmission on
the I2C bus.
Start and Stop Conditions
When the bus is idle, both SCL and SDA must be high. A
bus master signals the beginning of a transmission with
a START condition by transitioning SDA from high to low
while SCL is high. When the master has finished com-
municating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition by
transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high. The
bus is then free for another transmission. When the bus
is in use, it stays busy if a repeated START (Sr) is gener-
ated instead of a STOP condition. The repeated START
(Sr) conditions are functionally identical to the START (S).
Write Protocol
The master begins a write operation with a START condition
followed by the seven bit slave address 1100100 and the
R/W bit set to zero, as shown in Figure 6. The LTC2944
acknowledges this by pulling SDA low and the master
sends a command byte which indicates which internal
register the master is to write. The LTC2944 acknowledges
and latches the command byte into its internal register
address pointer. The master delivers the data byte, the
LTC2944 acknowledges once more and latches the data

I2C/SMBus Interface
The LTC2944 communicates with a bus master using
a 2-wire interface compatible with I2C and SMBus. The
7-bit hard coded I2C address of the LTC2944 is 1100100.
The LTC2944 is a slave only device. The serial clock line
(SCL) is input only while the serial data line (SDA) is
bidirectional. The device supports I2C standard and fast
mode. For more details refer to the I2C Protocol section.
I2C Protocol
The LTC2944 uses an I2C/SMBus-compatible 2-wire
interface supporting multiple devices on a single bus.
Connected devices can only pull the bus lines low and
must never drive the bus high. The bus wires are externally
connected to a positive supply voltage via current sources
or pull-up resistors. When the bus is idle, all bus lines
are high. Data on the I2C bus can be transferred at rates
of up to 100kbit/s in standard mode and up to 400kbit/s
in fast mode.

The master then sends a repeated START condition fol-
lowed by the same seven bit address with the R/W bit
now set to one. The LTC2944 acknowledges and sends
the contents of the requested register. The transmission
is ended when the master sends a STOP condition. If
the master acknowledges the transmitted data byte, the
LTC2944 increments its address pointer and sends the
contents of the following register as depicted in Figure 9.
Alert Response Protocol
In a system where several slaves share a common inter-
rupt line, the master can use the alert response address
(ARA) to determine which device initiated the interrupt
(Figure 10).
The master initiates the ARA procedure with a START
condition and the special 7-bit ARA bus address (0001100)
followed by the read bit (R) = 1. If the LTC2944 is as-
serting the ALCC pin in alert mode, it acknowledges and
responds by sending its 7-bit bus address (1100100)
and a 0. While it is sending its address, it monitors the
SDA pin to see if another device is sending an address at
the same time using standard I2C bus arbitration. If the
LTC2944 is sending a 1 and reads a 0 on the SDA pin on
the rising edge of SCL, it assumes another device with a
lower address is sending and the LTC2944 immediately
aborts its transfer and waits for the next ARA cycle to try
again. If transfer is successfully completed, the LTC2944
will stop pulling down the ALCC pin and will not respond
to further ARA requests until a new Alert event occurs.

Preventing Violation of Absolute Maximum Ratings
The small size, robustness and low impedance of ceramic
capacitors make them an attractive option for the supply
bypass capacitor of LTC2944. However, these capacitors
can cause problems if the LTC2944 is plugged into a live
supply close to its maximum voltage of 65V. The low
loss ceramic capacitor, combined with stray inductance
in series with the power source, forms an under damped
tank circuit, and the voltage at the SENSE– pin of the
LTC2944 can ring several tens of volts, possibly exceed-
ing the LTC2944 rating and damaging the part. This can
be prevented by adding a transient voltage suppression
diode to the SENSE– pin as shown in Figure 14.
Also pulling the digital communication pins SCL, SDA and
ALCC below their minimum absolute maximum voltage
of –0.3V—for example, due to differences between the
local GND and the GND of the connected microproces-
sor—increases the supply current of the LTC2944. At
supply voltages above 50V, the power dissipated due
to the increased supply current might damage the part,
which can be prevented by adding Schottky diodes as
shown in Figure 14.

PC Board Layout Suggestions
Keep all traces as short as possible to minimize noise and
inaccuracy. Use a 4-wire Kelvin sense connection for the
sense resistor, locating the LTC2944 close to the resistor
with short sense-traces to the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins.
Use wider traces from the resistor to the battery, load
and/or charger. Put the bypass capacitor close to SENSE+
and GND.
