Yes, the MAX17260 can be used in a pack side application even though it does not have nonvolatile memory. To do this, you will need an application processor that can load the battery model into the MAX17260…
For low current applications, proper scaling of the current shunt resistor based on the total output current load helps reduce noise and improve accuracy.
Question:
The MAX17260 evaluation kit software…
Entering shutdown clears all of the volatile registers in the fuel gauge. When exiting shutdown, the registers are reset to their default POR values. For volatile fuel gauges, it's best to back up the…
Yes, the IC updates the temperature every 351mS when in active mode, so the performance is optimized at that rate of update. In hibernate mode, the update is slowed down.
MAX17260 has no minimum battery capacity limits because unlike MAX17262 the sense resistor can be changed to accommodate any value of battery capacity.
Please use ModelId = 2 for evaluation of NCA/NCR batteries. If the performance is OK in then you can use this model going forward. As with all EZ models, sometimes the model doesn’t fit the battery or…
RepSOC is calculated by (RepCap + RepCapL) / FullCapRep. RepCapL may increase or decrease with current ADC, so RepSOC may increase even it's not charging. However, RepCap will not increase if it's not…
CSPH should be tied to BATT when using low-side current sensing. The layout guide only shows critical layout concerns like Kelvin sensing for sense resistor and putting bypass capacitors as near the IC…
The RCell measurement of MAX17260 is not very accurate because it is based on signal processing of voltage and calculated OCV. But from the long term trend, the RCell value will increases over time. Typically…
