General Description

The MAX17047 incorporates the Maxim ModelGauge™

m3 algorithm that combines the excellent short-term

accuracy and linearity of a coulomb counter with the

excellent long-term stability of a voltage-based fuel gauge,

along with temperature compensation to provide industry-

leading fuel-gauge accuracy. ModelGauge m3 cancels

offset accumulation error in the coulomb counter, while

providing better short-term accuracy than any purely

voltage-based fuel gauge. Additionally, the ModelGauge

m3 algorithm does not suffer from abrupt corrections that

normally occur in coulomb-counter algorithms, since tiny

continual corrections are distributed over time.
The device automatically compensates for aging, tem-

perature, and discharge rate and provides accurate

state of charge (SOC) in mAh or % over a wide range of

operating conditions. The device provides two methods

for reporting the age of the battery: reduction in capacity

and cycle odometer.
The device provides precision measurements of current,

voltage, and temperature. Temperature of the battery

pack is measured using an external thermistor supported

by ratiometric measurements on an auxiliary input. A

2-wire (I

2

C) interface provides access to data and control

registers. The IC is available in a lead(Pb)-free, 3mm x

3mm, 10-pin TDFN package.
