for lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable
equipment. The MAX17058 operates with a single Li+
cell and the MAX17059 with two Li+ cells in series.
The ICs use the sophisticated Li+ battery-modeling
algorithm ModelGaugeK to track the battery relative
state-of-charge (SOC) continuously over a widely varying
charge/discharge conditions. The ModelGauge algo-
rithm eliminates current-sense resistor and battery-learn
cycles required by other fuel gauges. Temperature
compensation is implemented using the system micro-
controller.
On battery insertion, the ICs debounce initial voltage
measurements to improve the initial SOC estimate,
allowing them to be located on system side. SOC and
voltage information is accessed using the I
2
C interface.
The ICs are available in a tiny 0.9mm x 1.7mm, 8-bump
wafer-level package (WLP) or a 2mm x 2mm, 8-pin TDFN
package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute

Specifications are tested 100% at T
A
= +25NC. Limits over the operating range are guaranteed by design and
characterization.
Note 2:
All voltages are referenced to GND.
Note 3:
Test is performed on unmounted/unsoldered ports.
Note 4:
The voltage is trimmed and verified with 16x averaging.
Note 5:
This current is always present.
Note 6:
The IC enters sleep mode after SCL < V
IL
and SDA < V
IL
for longer than 2.5s.
Note 7:
Timing must be fast enough to prevent the IC from entering sleep mode due to bus low for period > t
SLEEP
.
Note 8:
f
SCL
must meet the minimum clock low time plus the rise/fall times.
Note 9:
The maximum t
HD:DAT
has to be met only if the device does not stretch the low period (t
LOW
) of the SCL signal.
Note 10:
This device internally provides a hold time of at least 100ns for the SDA signal (referred to the V
IH,MIN
of the SCL signal)
to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
Note 11:
Filters on SDA and SCL suppress noise spikes at the input buffers and delay the sampling instance.
