APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
be chosen for a given battery capacity Q
resistor R
M can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, …128 by programming B[5:3] of
the control register as M = 2
value after power up is M = 128 = 2
In the above example of a 100mAh battery and a R
of 50mΩ, the prescaler should be programmed to M = 4.
The q
corresponds to roughly 37650 q
Note that the internal digital resolution of the coulomb
counter is higher than indicated by q

and bit A[1] in the status register is set. If the alert mode
is enabled by setting B[2] to one, an alert is generated at
the AL/CC pin. The threshold for the V
is selectable according to Table 3.
Accumulated Charge Registers (C,D)
The coulomb counter of the LTC2941 integrates current
through the sense resistor. The 16-bit result of this charge
integration is stored in the accumulated charge registers
C and D. As the LTC2941 does not know the actual battery
status after initial power-up, the accumulated charge is
set to mid-scale (7FFFh). If the host knows the status of
the battery , the accumulated charge registers C[7:0] and
D[7:0] can be either programmed to the correct value via

registers, the analog section should be 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 8.
Threshold Registers (E, F), (G, H)
For battery charge, the LTC2941 features a high and a
low threshold register. At power-up the high threshold
is set to FFFFh while the low threshold is set to 0000h.
Both thresholds can be programmed to a desired value via
I
threshold or falls below the low threshold, the LTC2941
sets the corresponding fl ag in the status register and pulls
the AL/CC pin low if alert mode is enabled.
I
The LTC2941 uses an I
drain interface supporting multiple devices and masters
on a single bus. The connected devices can only pull the
bus wires low and they never drive the bus high. The bus
wires should be externally connected to a positive sup-
ply voltage via a current source or pull-up resistor. When
the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL are high. Data on the
I
standard mode and up to 400kbit/s in fast mode.
Each device on the I
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 classifi ed 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 LTC2941 always acts as a slave.
