The PS501 is a a fully field reprogrammable single chip solution for rechargeable battery management. Figure 1-1 is an internal block diagram highlighting the major architectural elements described below.
SMBus Interface/SBData Commands
1.2

The PS501 incorporates an advanced, low-power Microchip PIC18 8-bit RISC microcontroller core. Memory resources include 16 Kbytes of reprogrammable Flash memory for program/data storage and 256 bytes of EEPROM for parameter storage. Both memory arrays may be reprogrammed through the SMBus interface.
Communication with the host is fully compliant with the industry standard Smart Battery System (SBS) specification. Included is an advanced SMBus communications engine that is compliant with the SMBus v1.1 protocols. The integrated firmware processes all the revised Smart Battery Data (SBData) v1.1 values.
1.6
Accurate Integrated Time Base
The PS501 integrates a highly accurate silicon oscillator that provides accurate timing for self-discharge and capacity calculations and eliminates the need for an external crystal.
1.3
A/D Converter
1.7
Temperature Sensing
The PS501 performs precise measurements of current, voltage and temperature, using a highly accurate 16-bit integrating sigma-delta A/D converter. The A/D can be calibrated to eliminate gain and offset errors and incorporates an auto-zero offset correction feature that can be performed while in the end system application.
An integrated temperature sensor is provided to minimize component count when the PS501 IC is located in close physical proximity to the battery cells being monitored. As an option, a connection is provided for an external thermistor that can also be monitored.

PowerSmart(R) Firmware/Battery Models
1.8
General Purpose I/O
Contained within the 16-Kbyte Flash memory is the PowerSmart developed battery management firmware that incorporates proprietary algorithms and sophisticated 3-dimensional cell models. Developed by battery chemists, the patented, self-learning 3D cell models contain over 250 parameters and compensate for selfdischarge, temperature and other factors. In addition, multiple capacity correction and error reducing functions are performed during charge/discharge cycles to enhance accuracy and improve fuel gauge and charge control performance. As a result, accurate battery capacity reporting and run-time predictions with less than 1% error are achievable. The reprogrammability of the Flash allows firmware upgrades and customized versions to be rapidly created without the need for silicon revisions. The PS501 can be easily customized for a particular application's battery cell chemistry. Standard configuration files are provided by PowerSmart for a wide variety of popular rechargeable cells and battery pack configurations.
Twelve programmable digital input/output pins are provided by the PS501. Eight of these pins can be used as LED outputs to display State-Of-Charge (SOC), used for direct control of external charge circuitry or to provide additional levels of safety in Li Ion packs. Alternatively, they can be used as general purpose input/outputs. Two of the I/Os are open-drain outputs and can thus be used to directly drive FETs or other high-voltage applications.

2.0 A/D OPERATION
EQUATION 2-1:
9.15 mV/RSENSE (milli-Ohms) = Current LSB (Minimum current measurement if > NullCurr) Current LSB x 16384 = Maximum current measurement possible In-circuit calibration of the current is done using the SMBus interface at time of manufacture to obtain absolute accuracy. The current measurement equation is: The PS501 A/D converter measures current, voltage and temperature and integrates the current over time to predict State-Of-Charge. Pack voltage and individual cell voltages are monitored and can be individually calibrated for the best accuracy. Using an external sense resistor, current is monitored during both charge and discharge and is integrated over time using the on-chip oscillator as the time base. Temperature is measured from the on-chip temperature sensor or an optional external thermistor. Current and temperature are also calibrated for accuracy.
EQUATION 2-2:
I(ma) = (I_A/D - COCurr) * CFCurr/16384 where: I_A/D is the internal measurement COCurr is the "Correction Offset for Current" which compensates for any offset error in current measurement stored in EEPROM. CFCurr is the "Correction Factor for Current" which compensates for any variances in the actual sense resistance over varying currents stored in EEPROM. Figure 2-1 shows the relationship of the COCurr and CFCurr values.
2.1
A/D Converter List
The A/D converter alternately measures pack voltage, cell voltages, current, temperature and auto-offset as explained below. The schedule for the sequence and frequency of these measurements is programmable, as is the number of bits used. The default scheduling uses three lists. At near full (above the voltage point ADLNearFull) and near empty (below the voltage point ADLNearEmpty), voltage intensive lists are used to accurately end charge or discharge. In between ADLNearFull and ADLNearEmpty, a current intensive schedule is used to more accurately calculate capacity.
2.2
Current Measurement
FIGURE 2-1:
The A/D input channels for current measurement are the RSHP and RSHN pins. The current is measured using an integrating method, which averages over time to get the current measurement and integrates over time to get a precise measurement value. A 5 to 600 milli-Ohm sense resistor is connected to RSHP and RSHN as shown in the example schematic. The maximum input voltage at either RSHP or RSHN is +/-150 mV. The sense resistor should be properly sized to accommodate the lowest and highest expected charge and discharge currents, including suspend and/or standby currents. Circuit traces from the sense resistor should be as short as practical without significant crossovers or feedthroughs. Failure to use a single ground reference point at the negative side of the sense resistor can significantly degrade current measurement accuracy. The EEPROM value, NullCurr, represents the zero zone current of the battery. This is provided as a calibration guardband for reading zero current. Currents below the +/- NullCurr (in mA) limit are read as zero and are not included in the capacity algorithm calculations. A typical value for NullCurr is 3 mA, so currents between -3 mA and +3 mA will be reported as zero and not included in the capacity calculations. The equation for current measurement resolution and sense resistor selection is shown in the following equation.

Auto-Offset Compensation
Accuracy drift is prevented using an automatic autozero self-calibration method, which `re-zeroes' the current measurement circuit every AOMInt * 0.5 seconds when enabled. This feature can correct for drift in temperature during operation. The auto-offset compensation circuit works internally by disconnecting the RSHP and RSHN inputs and internally shorting these inputs to measure the zero input offset. The EEPROM and calibration value COD is the true zero offset value of the particular module.

2.4 Voltage Measurements
The A/D input channels for cell and pack voltage measurements are the VC(1) to VC(4) pins. Measurements are taken each measurement period when the A/D is active. The maximum voltage at any VCELLx input pin is 19V absolute, but voltages above 18V are not suggested. The individual cell voltages are measured with an integration method to reduce any sudden spikes or fluctuations. The A/D uses an 11-bit resolution mode for these measurements. Cell voltage inputs are read every measurement period, which is approximately every 500 milliseconds. This could be further extended by the use of Sample mode, where A/D measurements are not activated every measurement period, depending on the configuration of SampleLimit and NSample values. (See Section 3.0 "Operational Modes" for additional information.) For Li Ion, Li-based, or even Lead-Acid applications, up to four (4) series cell voltages may be monitored individually. The highest voltage cell of the stack must be connected to VC(1). For some applications, the actual cell stack arrangement can be altered accordingly. The PS501 voltage input pins (VCELLx pins) are capable of measuring up to 18V each. Therefore, cell arrangements can be combined and the corresponding cell voltage thresholds can be adjusted. For example, a 2-cell Li Ion pack could actually be connected as a single 7.2V cell instead of two 3.6V cells. The values for the cell voltages would all be doubled, for example VCELL1 would equal the sum of two cells and only the VC(1) input pin would be used. Each VCELLx input circuit contains an internal resistive divider to reduce the external voltage input to a range that the internal A/D circuit can accommodate (150 mV maximum). These dividers are set based on a maximum cell voltage of 4.5 volts. A range of 340 mV with dividers, based on a maximum voltage of 20 volts, is used for pack voltage. The impedance at each VCELLx input is roughly 100 kOhms, but is only connected to ground (via the VSSA pins) when the actual voltage measurement is occurring. This corresponds to an insignificant amount of capacity drained through this circuit during the brief voltage measurement period, typically 45 ms every 500 ms. The EEPROM value PackResistance is used to compensate for additional resistance that should be removed. The equation for the compensation value (in ohms) is:
EQUATION 2-3:
PackResistance = Trace Resistance * 65535 (This is a 2-byte value so the largest value is 1 ohm.) This requires modification of overall voltage SBData function to compensate for pack resistance and shunt resistance of the current sense resistor. Thus, the previous voltage equation is modified to:
EQUATION 2-4:
SBData Voltage Value = VC(1) + Measured Current (mA) * PackResistance/65535 The voltage measurement equation is:
EQUATION 2-5:
V (mV) = (V_A/D - COVPack) x CFVPack/16384 where: V_A/D is the internal measurement output COVPack is the "Correction Offset for Pack Voltage" which compensates for any offset error in voltage measurement (since the offset of the A/D is less than the voltage measurement resolution of +/- 16.5 mV, the COVPack value is typically zero). CFVPack is the "Correction Factor for Pack Voltage" which compensates for any variance in the actual A/D response versus an ideal A/D response over varying voltage inputs. The COVPack and CFVPack are calibration constants that are stored in EEPROM. VCELL1 and VCELL4 can also be compensated for impedance in the lines connecting to the PS501. VC1Res is the resistance between the PS501 and the highest series cell. VC4Res is the resistance between the PS501 and the lowest cell. This allows the PS501 to subtract any voltage drop due to current between the cell and the PS501.
2.4.1
IMPEDANCE COMPENSATION
Since accurate measurement of pack voltage and cell voltages are critical to performance, the voltage measurements can be compensated for any impedance in the power path that might affect the voltage measurements.

Temperature Measurements
FIGURE 2-2:
COVPack AND CFVPack VALUE RELATIONSHIP
Raw Measurement Ideal A/D Response Actual A/D Response
The A/D receives input from the internal temperature sensor to measure the temperature. Optionally, an external thermistor can be connected to the VNTC pin which is also monitored by the A/D converter. An output reference voltage for use with an external thermistor is provided on the VREFT pin. The A/D uses an 11-bit resolution mode for the temperature measurements. A standard 10 kOhms at 25C Negative-TemperatureCoefficient (NTC) device of the 103ETB type is suggested for the optional external thermistor. One leg of the NTC should be connected to the VREFT pin and the other to both the VNTC pin and a 3.65 kOhms resistor to analog ground (VSSA). The resistor forms the lower leg of a voltage divider circuit. To maintain high accuracy in temperature measurements, a 1% resistor should be used. A look-up table is used to convert the voltage measurement seen at the VNTC pin to a temperature value. The external thermistor should be placed as close as possible to the battery cells and should be isolated from any other sources of heat that may affect its operation. Calibration of the temperature measurements involves a correction factor and an offset exactly like the current and voltage measurements. The internal temperature measurement makes use of correction factor CFTempI and offset COTempI, while the VNTC and VREFT pins for the optional external thermistor make use of correction factor CFTempE and offset COTempE.

Actual Voltage
In-circuit calibration of the voltage is done at the time of manufacture to obtain absolute accuracy in addition to high resolution. Individual cell voltage measurements can be accurate to within 20 mV. The individual cell voltage inputs are also calibrated the same way the pack voltage is. There is one offset value, COVCell, for all individual cells and up to four different correction factors, CFVCell1 through CFVCell4, one for each cell input.

PS501
3.0 OPERATIONAL MODES
EXAMPLE 3-1: CONFIGURATION
The PS501 operates on a continuous cycle. The frequency of the cycles depends on the power mode selected. There are four power modes: Run, Sample, Sleep and Shelf-Sleep. Each mode has specific entry and exit conditions as listed below. Measurement period is 500 ms SampleLimit is set to 20 NSample is set to 16 Result: Run/Sample mode entry-exit threshold = 20 mA During Sample mode, measurements will occur every: 16 measurement periods of 500 mS = every 8 seconds
3.1
Run Mode
Whether the PS501 is in Run mode or Sample mode depends on the magnitude of the current. The Run and Sample mode entry-exit threshold is calculated using the EEPROM parameter, SampleLimit. SampleLimit is a programmable EEPROM value and CFCurr is an EEPROM value set by calibration. Entry to Run mode occurs when the current is more than +/- SampleLimit mA for two consecutive measurements. Run mode may only be exited to Sample mode, not to Sleep mode, when Sample mode is enabled. Exit from Run mode to Sample mode occurs when the converted measured current is less than the +/- SampleLimit mA threshold for two consecutive measurements. Run mode is the highest power consuming mode. During Run mode, all measurements and calculations occur once per measurement period. Current, voltage and temperature measurements are each typically made sequentially during every measurement period.
3.3
Low-Voltage Sleep Mode
Entry to Sleep mode can only occur when the measured pack voltage at the VC(1) input is below a preset limit, set by the EEPROM value SleepVPack (in mV). Sleep mode may be exited to Run mode, but only when one of the wake-up conditions is satisfied. While in Sleep mode, no measurements occur and no calculations are made. The fuel gauge display is not operational, no SMBus communications are recognized and only a wake-up condition will permit an exit from Sleep mode. Sleep mode is one of the lowest power consuming modes and is used to conserve battery energy following a complete discharge. There are two levels of Low-Voltage Sleep mode that can be used, each with a different wake-up criteria. Default Low-Power mode will use 25 A typical and will wake-up when the voltage exceeds the WakeUp voltage level. By setting bit 1 of the WakeUp register to `1', the Ultra Low-Power mode can be used. This will be entered by low voltage, but wake-up occurs by pulling the SMBus lines high. Ultra Low-Power mode uses less than 1 A.
3.2
Sample Mode
Entry to Sample mode occurs when the measured current is less than +/- SampleLimit (EE parameter) two consecutive measurements. Sample mode may be exited to either Run mode or Sleep mode. While in Sample mode, measurements of voltage, current and temperature occur only once per NSample counts of measurement periods, where NSample is a programmable EEPROM value. Calculations of StateOf-Charge, SMBus requests, etc. still continue at the normal Run mode rate, but measurements only occur once every measurement period x NSample. The minimum value for NSample is two. The purpose of Sample mode is to reduce power consumption during periods of inactivity (low rate charge or discharge). Since the analog-to-digital converter is not active, except every NSample counts of measurement periods, the overall power consumption is significantly reduced.
3.4
Shelf-Sleep Mode
Shelf-Sleep mode is used to put the PS501 into LowPower mode, regardless of voltage level, for long term storage of battery packs. It is entered by an SMBus command. It is exited by the conditions selected in the WakeUp register. These can be voltage, GPIO or SMBus activity. If any of these four are selected for wake-up, the Shelf-Sleep mode will be Low-Power mode and will draw 25 A typical. If none of these options are selected and bit 3 of the WakeUp register is set, the Shelf-Sleep mode will be Ultra Low-Power mode, which will draw less than 1 A and wake-up will be by pulling SMBus high.

PS501
4.0 CAPACITY MONITORING
The PS501 internal CPU uses the voltage, current and temperature data from the A/D converter, along with parameters and cell models, to determine the state of the battery and to process the SBData function instruction set. By integrating measured current, monitoring voltages and temperature, adjusting for self-discharge and checking for End-Of-Charge and End-Of-Discharge conditions, the PS501 creates an accurate fuel gauge under all battery conditions. The total capacity added or subtracted from the battery (change in charge) per measurement period is expressed by the following formula:
EQUATION 4-1:
Charge = it (the current integrated over time) CurrError (Current Measurement Error) PwrConsumption * t (PS501 IDD) % of Self-Discharge * FCC SelfDischrgErr (Self-Discharge Error)
4.1
Capacity Calculations
The PS501 calculates State-Of-Charge and fuel gauging functions using a `coulomb counting' method, with additional inputs from battery voltage and temperature measurements. By continuously and accurately measuring all the current into and out of the battery cells, along with accurate three-dimensional cell models, the PS501 is able to provide accurate predictions of SOC and run-time. The capacity calculations consider two separate states: charge acceptance or Capacity Increasing (CI) and discharge or Capacity Decreasing (CD). The CI state only occurs when a charge current larger than the EEPROM NullCurr value is measured. Otherwise, while at rest and/or while being discharged, the state is CD. Conditions must persist for at least NChangeState measurement periods for a valid state change between CD and CI. A minimum value of 2 is suggested for NChangeState. Regardless of the CI or CD state, self-discharge is also calculated and subtracted from the integrated capacity values. Even when charging, there is still a self-discharge occurring in the battery. To compensate for known system errors in the capacity calculations, a separate error term is also continuously calculated. This term is the basis for the SBData value of MaxError. Two error values are located in EEPROM. The CurrError value is the inherent error in current measurements and should be set based on the selection of a sense resistor and calibration results. The SelfDischrgErr value is the error in the parameter tables for self-discharge and depends on the accuracy of the cell chemistry model for self-discharge. Since the PS501 electronics also drain current from the battery system, another EEPROM value allows even this minor drain to be included in the capacity calculations. The PwrConsumption value represents the drain of the IC and associated circuitry, including additional safety monitoring electronics if present. A typical value of 77 represents the module's nominal power consumption, including the PS501 typical consumption.
The error terms are always subtracted, even though they are +/- errors, so that the fuel gauge value will never be overestimated. Current draw of the PS501 and the self-discharge terms are also always subtracted. The SBData value, MaxError, is the total accumulated error as the gas gauge is running. The battery current will be precisely measured and integrated in order to calculate total charge removed from or added to the battery. Based on look-up table values, the capacity is adjusted for self-discharge relative to current, temperature and SOC.
4.2
Discharge Termination
Discharge termination is determined based on the End-Of-Discharge (EOD) voltage point. The voltage level at which this point occurs can be chosen to be constant, or to change depending on the temperature and discharge rate, since these factors affect the voltage curve and total capacity of the battery. The EOD voltage parameter table predicts the voltage point at which this EOD will be reached, based on discharge rate and temperature. The PS501 will monitor temperature and discharge rate continuously and update the Veodx in real-time. When the voltage measured on the cell is below EOD voltage for the duration of EODRecheck x periods (500 ms), a valid EOD has occurred. When a valid EOD has been reached, the TERMINATE_DISCHARGE_ALARM bit (bit 11) in BatteryStatus will be set. This will cause an AlarmWarning condition with this bit set. Additionally, the REMAINING_TIME_ALARM and/or REMAINING_CAPACITY_ALARM bits can be set first to give a user defined early warning prior to the TERMINATE_DISCHARGE_ALARM. The remaining time alarm will trigger in battery status when the remaining time calculation falls below a threshold set by the SMBus command. The remaining capacity alarm will be set in battery status when the capacity falls below a threshold set by the SMBus command. Use an SMBus Write command to Remaining TimeAlarm (command code 0x02) or RemainingCapacityAlarm (command code 0x01) to set these values.

4.3 Capacity Relearn at Discharge Termination
Table 4-1 shows that the system will always shutdown at the same capacity point regardless of C-rate conditions (since the C-rate of the save to disk procedure is a constant). Thus, we can automatically have an RSOC that is compensated for C-rate; it will go to zero when the capacity used is equal to the point at which shutdown occurs. Ignoring the effects of temperature, we could mark the capacity used up to the shutdown point of the shutdown curve. All the shutdown voltage would then represent the same capacity and RSOC would always become zero at this capacity and FCC would always equal this capacity, plus the residual capacity of the save to disk curve. To compensate for temperature, we can look at the series of curves that represent the shutdown C-rate at different temperatures. The PS501 implementation is to measure the temperature and choose a scaled RSOC value that will go to zero at the save to disk point at this temperature, assuming the temperature does not change. If it does change, then an adjustment to RSOC will be needed to make it go to zero at the shutdown point. Taking temperature into consideration, the amount of capacity that can be used before shutdown is a constant as C-rate changes, but not constant as temperature changes. Thus, in the Look-up Table (LUT), the individual temperature columns will have voltage points that all represent the same capacity used, but the rows across temperature points (C-rate rows) will represent the different capacity used. To compensate RSOC and RM, interpolation will be used and the compensation adjustment will happen in real-time to avoid sudden drops or jumps. Every time the temperature decreases by one degree, a new interpolated value will be subtracted from RSOC and RM. Every time the temperature increases by one degree, RSOC and RM will be held constant until discharged capacity equals the interpolated value that should have been added to RSOC and RM (to avoid capacity increases during discharge). With this interpolation happening in real-time, there will be no big jumps or extended flat periods as we cross over boundaries in the LUT. This compensation will not begin until after the fully charged status is reset, allowing RSOC to be 100% always when the battery is full.
To maintain accurate capacity prediction ability, the FullCapacity value is relearned on each discharge, which has reached a valid EOD after a previous valid fully charged condition (EOC). If a partial charge occurs before reaching a valid EOD, then no relearn will occur. If the discharge rate at EOD is greater than the `C-rate' adjusted value in RelearnCurrLim, then no relearn will occur. When a valid EOD has been reached, then the error calculations represented by the SBData value of MaxError will be cleared to zero. If appropriate, the relearned value of FullCapacity (and FullChargeCapacity) will also be updated at this time.

4.4.1
Discharge Termination Voltage Look-up Table
NEAR EMPTY SHUTDOWN POINT
As the graph in Table 4-1 shows, available capacity in the battery varies with temperature and discharge rate. Since the remaining capacity will vary with temperature and discharge rate, a near empty shutdown point will also vary with temperature and discharge rate. Knowing the discharge rate that occurs in the system during the shutdown process and knowing the temperature can pinpoint the exact save to disk point that will always leave the perfect shutdown capacity. The PS501 uses this information to tailor the gas gauge to the system and the remaining capacity and RSOC fuel gauge function will always go to zero at the efficient shutdown point. The table will use the voltage points at which this happens as the error correction and FullCapacity relearn point. This will ensure a relearn point before shutdown occurs and will correct any error in remaining capacity, also to ensure proper shutdown reserve energy. The shutdown point has to equal the capacity required to shut down the system under the conditions of the shutdown. That is, looking at the curve that represents the actual discharge C-rate that occurs during the system shutdown function, we must stop discharge and initiate shutdown when the system has used capacity equal to that point on the shutdown C-rate curve. This is because no matter what the C-rate is when the shutdown point is reached, the system will automatically switch to the C-rate curve that represents the actual current draw of the shutdown function. So it doesn't matter if the system is in high discharge or low discharge, it will be in "shutdown" discharge conditions when shutdown begins and there must be enough capacity left. An example is a computer's save to disk function.
4.5
Age Compensation
The voltage EOD points will be compensated due to the age of the cells. A linear factor, AgeFactor, will be applied to the voltage points as a function of CycleCount. The voltage levels will decrease as the battery pack ages to model the flattening of the voltage vs. capacity curve that naturally happens to battery cells.

5.0 CHARGE CONTROL
A SBS configuration normally allows the Smart Battery to broadcast the ChargingVoltage and ChargingCurrent values to the Smart Battery Charger (SMBus address 12 hex) to `control' when to start charge, stop charge and when to signal a valid `fully charged' condition. AlarmWarnings are also sent from the Smart Battery (SMBus address 16 hex) to the Smart Battery Charger. Alternately, the SMBus Host or a "Level 3" Smart Battery Charger may simply read the SBData values for ChargingVoltage and ChargingCurrent from the Smart Battery directly. The Host or "Level 3" Smart Battery Charger is also required to read the SBData value of BatteryStatus to obtain the appropriate alarm and status bit flags. When used in this configuration, the ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage broadcasts can be disabled from the Smart Battery by setting the CHARGER_MODE (bit 14) in the BatteryMode register. The PS501 ICs support all of these functions. (Please refer to the SBS Smart Battery Charger Specification for a definition of the "Level 3" Smart Battery Charger.) The ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage registers contain the maximum charging parameters desired by the particular chemistry, configuration and environmental conditions. The environmental conditions include the measured temperature and the measured cell or pack voltages. For Li-based systems, ChargingVoltage should be set to the product of the EOCVolt and Cells values from the EEPROM: When ChargingCurrent is set to the ChrgCurrOff value, no broadcasts of either ChargingCurrent or ChargingVoltage will occur unless a charge current greater than NullCurr is detected by the A/D measurements. Temperature limits are set using the ChrgMaxTemp, DischrgMaxTemp and ChrgMinTemp values from EEPROM. These values represent the temperature limits within which ChargingCurrent will be set to ChrgCurr. Temperatures outside these limits will cause ChargingCurrent to be set to ChrgCurrOff. If ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff and the measured temperature is greater than DischrgMaxTemp and less than ChrgMaxTemp and a charge current is measured which is significantly larger than the ChrgCurrOff value, then ChargingCurrent will be set to ChrgCurr unless a fully charged condition has already been reached. If the CHARGER_MODE bit in the BatteryMode register is cleared (enabling broadcasts of ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage), then these broadcasts will occur every NChrgBroadcast measurement cycle. The Smart Battery Data and Smart Battery Charger Specifications require that ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage broadcasts occur no faster than once per 5 seconds and no slower than once per 60 seconds when charging is occurring or desired. This requires that the NChrgBroadcast value must be set between 10 and 120. The SMBus Specification also requires that no broadcasts occur during the first 10 seconds after SMBus initialization.
EXAMPLE 5-1:
CONFIGURATION
EQUATION 5-1:
ChargingVoltage = EOCVolt x Cells The ChargingCurrent value is set to a maximum using the ChrgCurr value from the EEPROM. For Lithium systems, both ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage values are maximums. When the current reaches ChrgCurr, it will be held constant at this value. Then, when the voltage reaches ChrgVolt, the current must be reduced so that the voltage will be constant and not exceed the maximum. This is accomplished by setting ChargingCurrent to ChrgCurrOff. For safety reasons, this current change also occurs when the temperature limits are exceeded. When temperature or voltage limits are exceeded, the value of ChargingCurrent changes to the ChrgCurrOff value from the EEPROM. When a valid End-Of-Charge (EOC) condition is detected and a fully charged state is reached, the ChargingCurrent value is set equal to the ChrgCurrOff value.
Measurement cycle is 500 msec NChrgBroadcast = 100 decimal ChrgCurr = 2500 decimal ChrgCurrOff = 10 decimal ChrgMaxTemp = 162 decimal DischrgMaxTemp = 137 decimal ChrgMinTemp = 50 decimal Results: ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage broadcasts: 100 cycles of 500 msec = every 50 seconds Broadcast delay after SMBus initialization: 10 seconds ChargingCurrent if Temperature > 45C: 10 mA ChargingCurrent if Temperature < 0C: 10 mA ChargingCurrent if Temperature < 35C and > 0C: 2500 mA

5.1 Full Charge Detection Methods 5.2 Temperature Algorithms
For a typical Lithium Ion constant-current/constantvoltage charge system, the PS501 will monitor the taper current that enters the battery once the battery has reached the final voltage level of the charger. Once the taper current falls to a certain level, indicating that the battery is full, the End-Of-Charge (EOC) will be triggered. Different taper currents will be used for different temperatures. See the parameter explanation in Section 9.0 "Parameter Setup" for details. When a valid fully charged EOC condition is detected, the following actions occur: * The FULLY_CHARGED status bit (bit 5) in the SBData value of BatteryStatus is set to `1' to indicate a full condition. (This will remain set until RelativeStateOfCharge drops below the ClrFullyChrg value in EEPROM.) * RelativeStateOfCharge is set to 100%. * ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff value. * SBData value for MaxError is cleared to zero percent (0%). * The TERMINATE_CHARGE_ALARM bit (bit 14) is set in BatteryStatus and an AlarmWarning broadcast is sent to the SMBus Host and Smart Battery Charger addresses. * The OverChrg value is incremented for any charge received above 100% after a valid fully charged EOC condition. * Control flags for internal operations are set to indicate a valid full charge condition was achieved. * Other BatteryStatus or AlarmWarning flag bits may also be set depending on the conditions causing the EOC. - The charge timer, EOCTimer, is exceeded - Cell voltage is higher than TCAVolt The PS501 SMBus Smart Battery IC provides multiple temperature alarm set points and charging conditions. The following EEPROM parameters control how the temperature alarms and charging conditions operate. HighTempAl: When the measured temperature is greater than HighTempAl, the OVER_TEMP_ALARM is set. If the battery is charging, then the TERMINATE_CHARGE_ALARM is also set. ChrgMinTemp, DischrgMaxTemp and ChrgMaxTemp: If the measured temperature is less than ChrgMinTemp, the ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff and the ChargingVoltage is set to ChrgVolt to communicate to the charger that the non-charging state of current and voltage should be given. When measured temperature is greater than ChrgMaxTemp and the system is charging, or greater than DischrgMaxTemp and the system is discharging, then ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff and the ChargingVoltage is set to ChrgVoltOff also. Otherwise, ChargingCurrent = ChrgCurr and ChargingVoltage = ChrgVolt.

CELL BALANCING
The PS501 has internal cell balancing loads with which to draw extra current away from higher voltage cells. There are internal 500 ohm resistors, which will draw up to 8.4 mA of current from each cell, depending on the cell voltage. The cell balancing algorithm will monitor individual cell voltages and the difference between them. When the difference between any cells exceeds the EEPROM parameter, VcelldiffMax, the resistor load will be applied to the higher cell until it is within VcelldiffresetMax of the lowest. Cell balancing will only be applied during the charging state to maintain run time during discharge. Determination of cell balance requirement will be made near End-Of-Charge, when the capacity difference results in a cell voltage difference. Once this determination is made, cell balancing will commence on the charge cycle and remain in effect for the entire charge cycle. Upon discharging, cell balancing will be disabled to preserve run time. Once the near empty point is reached again, determination will be made as to whether correct hysteresis has been reached to disable the cell balancing for the next charge cycle.

PS501
Each condition in the table is processed by applying a "comparison function" to the selected data ("condition selection") and the given constant ("condition threshold"). The result of this operation ("true" or "false") from each condition in the group is combined as dictated by the "AND-OR" "combination function" bit in the flag byte. Because the "AND" function has precedence over the "OR", processing the CG can be described as OR'ing subgroups of ANDs (see Example 7-1 below). One 8-bit timer (clocked at 500 msec) is associated with all 16 CSF(s). The timer compared to its threshold is an implied "AND" term to the CG (i.e., if processing of the CG to set the CSF results in "true", the timer is incremented and if timer >= threshold, the SF is set; otherwise, the SF is not set even though the GC is satisfied). If processing of the CG to set the CSF results in "false", the timer is set to zero. The timer is not allowed to increment past the threshold. The conditions in the order they are stored in memory will build the activation equation until bit 7 of byte 1 is set, signifying the last condition of the group. At that point, the next group of conditions is the Reset equation. When the next to last condition bit is set, a new activation group begins.

8.0 SMBus/SBData INTERFACE
8.1 SBData Function Description
The PS501 uses a two-pin System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol to communicate to the Host. One pin is the clock and one pin is the data. The SMBus port responds to all commands in the Smart Battery Data Specification (SBData). To receive information about the battery, the Host sends the appropriate commands to the SMBus port. Certain alarms, warnings and charging information may be sent to the Host by the PS501 automatically. The SMBus protocol is explained in this chapter. The SBData command set is summarized in Table 8-1. The PS501 SMBus communications port is fully compliant with the System Management Bus Specification, Version 1.1 and supports all previous and new requirements, including bus time-outs (both slave and master), multi-master arbitration and collision detection/recovery. The SMBus port serves as a slave for both read and write functions, as well as a master for write word functions. SMBus slave protocols supported include read word, write word, read block and write block. Master mode supports write word protocols. The PS501 meets and exceeds the Smart Battery Data Specification, Version 1.1/1.1a requirements. The PS501 is compliant with System Management Bus Specification 1.0. The PS501 fully implements the Smart Battery Data (SBData) Specification v1.1. The SBData Specification defines the interface and data reporting mechanism for an SBS compliant Smart Battery. It defines a consistent set of battery data to be used by a power management system to improve battery life and system run-time, while providing the user with accurate information. This is accomplished by incorporating fixed, measured, calculated and predicted values, along with charging and alarm messages, with a simple communications mechanism between a Host system, Smart Batteries and a Smart Charger. The PS501 provides full implementation of the SBData set with complete execution of all the data functions, including sub-functions and control bits and flags, compliance to the accuracy and granularity associated with particular data values and proper SMBus protocols and timing. The following subsections document the detailed operation of all of the individual SBData commands.

RemainingCapacityAlarm (0x01)
Sets or reads the low capacity alarm value. Whenever the remaining capacity falls below the low capacity alarm value, the Smart Battery sends alarm warning messages to the SMBus Host with the REMAINING_CAPACITY_ALARM bit set. A low capacity alarm value of `0' disables this alarm.
8.1.3
RemainingTimeAlarm (0x02)
Sets or reads the remaining time alarm value. Whenever the AverageTimeToEmpty falls below the remaining time value, the Smart Battery sends alarm warning messages to the SMBus Host with the REMAINING_TIME_ALARM bit set. A remaining time value of `0' disables this alarm.

8.1.4 BatteryMode (0x03)
This function selects the various battery operational modes and reports the battery's capabilities, modes and condition. Bit 0: INTERNAL_CHARGE_CONTROLLER Bit set indicates that the battery pack contains its own internal charge controller. When the bit is set, this optional function is supported and the CHARGE_CONTROLLER_ENABLED bit will be activated. Bit 1: PRIMARY_BATTERY_SUPPORT Bit set indicates that the battery pack has the ability to act as either the primary or secondary battery in a system. When the bit is set, this optional function is supported and the PRIMARY_BATTERY bit will be activated. Bit 2-6: Reserved Bit 7: CONDITION_FLAG Bit set indicates that the battery is requesting a conditioning cycle. This typically will consist of a full charge to full discharge, back to full charge of the pack. The battery will clear this flag after it detects that a conditioning cycle has been completed. Bit 8: CHARGE_CONTROLLER_ENABLED Bit is set to enable the battery pack's internal charge controller. When this bit is cleared, the internal charge controller is disabled (default). This bit is active only when the INTERNAL_CHARGE_CONTROLLER bit is set. Bit 9: PRIMARY_BATTERY Bit is set to enable a battery to operate as the primary battery in a system. When this bit is cleared, the battery operates in a secondary role (default). This bit is active only when the PRIMARY_BATTERY_SUPPORT bit is set. Bit 10-12: Reserved Bit 13: ALARM_MODE Disables the Smart Battery's transmission of the BatteryStatus bits on an alarm condition. Will reset to enabled after 60 seconds. Bit 14: CHARGER_MODE Enables or disables the Smart Battery's transmission of ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage messages to the Smart Battery Charger. When set, the Smart Battery will not transmit ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage values to the charger. When cleared, the Smart Battery will transmit the ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage values to the charger when charging is desired. Bit 15: CAPACITY_MODE Indicates if capacity information will be reported in mA/ mAh or 10 mW/10 mWh. When set, the capacity information will be reported in 10 mW/10 mWh. When cleared, the capacity information will be reported in mA/mAh.

AtRate (0x04)
AtRate is a value of current or power that is used by three other functions: AtRateTimeToFull, AtRateTimeToEmpty and AtRateOK: * AtRateTimeToFull returns the predicted time to full charge at the AtRate value of charge current. * AtRateTimeToEmpty function returns the predicted operating time at the AtRate value of discharge current. * AtRateOK function returns a Boolean value that predicts the battery's ability to supply the AtRate value of additional discharge current for 10 seconds.

Returns the predicted remaining time to fully charge the battery at the AtRate value (mA). The AtRateTimeToFull function is part of a two-function call set used to determine the predicted remaining charge time at the AtRate value in mA. It will be used immediately after the SMBus Host sets the AtRate value.
8.1.7
AtRateTimeToEmpty (0x06)
Returns the predicted remaining operating time if the battery is discharged at the AtRate value. The AtRateTimeToEmpty function is part of a two-function call set used to determine the remaining operating time at the AtRate value. It will be used immediately after the SMBus Host sets the AtRate value.
8.1.8
AtRateOK (0x07)
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether or not the battery can deliver the AtRate value of additional energy for 10 seconds (Boolean). If the AtRate value is zero or positive, the AtRateOK function will always return true. The AtRateOK function is part of a twofunction call set used by power management systems to determine if the battery can safely supply enough energy for an additional load.

MaxError (0x0c)
Returns the expected margin of error (%) in the StateOf-Charge calculation. For example, when MaxError returns 10% and RelativeStateOfCharge returns 50%, the RelativeStateOfCharge is actually between 50% and 60%. The MaxError of a battery is expected to increase until the Smart Battery identifies a condition that will give it higher confidence in its own accuracy. For example, when a Smart Battery senses that it has been fully charged from a fully discharged state, it may use that information to reset or partially reset MaxError. The Smart Battery can signal when MaxError has become too high by setting the CONDITION_FLAG bit in BatteryMode.

This is important because use of the wrong calculation mode may result in an inaccurate alarm. The BatteryStatus function is used by the power management system to get alarm and status bits, as well as error codes, from the Smart Battery. This is basically the same information returned by the SBData AlarmWarning function except that the AlarmWarning function sets the error code bits all high before sending the data.

This function is used to return a serial number. This number, when combined with the ManufacturerName, the DeviceName and the ManufactureDate, will uniquely identify the battery.
The PS501 includes new SBData functions using the OptionalMfgFunction command codes. The command codes, 3C hex to 3F hex, report the individual cell voltages as measured by the analog-to-digital converter. These voltages are reported in mV and are calculated to include compensation for calibration and sense resistance voltage drops. Only one cell voltage is measured per measurement cycle (depending on Run or Sample mode operation). Rapid voltage changes will see some variation in voltages due to the delay of measurement. These voltage values may be used for cell balancing or other functions as the Host system may desire.

CAPACITY CALCULATIONS
# Lower Upper Typical Bytes Limit Limit Value 1 0 255 1 Operational Description Current measurement error. This is the error due to the accuracy of the A/D converter to measure and integrate the current, 255 = 24.9%. SBData register for CycleCount. Cycles is updated to keep track of the total usage of the battery. Cycles is increased whenever an amount of charge has been delivered to or removed from the battery, equivalent to the full capacity. For a 4000 mAh battery, Cycles is increased every time 4000 mAh goes through the battery terminals in any direction. The initial capacity of the battery. When the PS501 is first powered up and initialized, before a learning cycle takes place to learn the full capacity, the full capacity will take the value programmed into InitialCap to compute relative State-Of-Charge percentage. Current offset for error calculation. Since the error of the A/D converter is proportional to the level of current it is measuring, the error term can be too low when the current is very low. For this reason, the LowCurrError will compensate the ERR term for low currents. LowCurrError milli-Amps are added to the current when factoring in the error. Thus, the error is: Error = (Current + LowCurrError) * CurrError. State change delay filter. Delays the change between "charge increasing" state and "charge decreasing" state based on current direction. To avoid problems with current spikes in opposite directions, a delay filter is built-in to control when to change from charging status to discharging status. The current must change directions and stay in the new direction for CST_DELAY * period before the status is changed and capacity is increased or decreased as a result of the new current direction. A zero zone control is built into the PS501 so that any small inaccuracy doesn't actually drain the gas gauge, when in fact the current is zero. For this reason, current less than NullCurr mA in either direction will be measured as zero. Current consumption of the battery module. This is the average current that the battery module typically draws from the battery (255 = 1 mA). Self-discharge error. This is the error inherent in the ability of the self-discharge look-up tables to meet actual battery characteristics, 255 = 100%.

Cell voltage at which A/D switches to emphasize voltage over current measurement near EOC (mV). The capacity that remains in the battery at EOD1Voltage. This is typically a small amount used to power a shutdown sequence for the system. Voltage for EOD1 fixed voltage point (mV). Delay filter for the EOD1 condition. Number of checks before EOD1 trigger. The End-Of-Discharge conditions must remain for at least this number of periods before being considered true, to help filter out false empty conditions due to spikes. EOD1 condition is based on the Variable Voltage Look-up Table or EOD1Voltage. Delay filter for EOD2 condition; EOD2 is based on Vempty. Learned value of battery capacity. Used for SBData value of FullChargeCapacity. This is a learned parameter which is the equivalent of all charge counted from fully charged to fully discharged, including self-discharge and error terms. This is reset after a learning cycle and used for remaining capacity and relative State-Of-Charge calculations. Value of measured current that prevents a capacity relearn from occurring when a terminate discharge alarm condition is reached at End-Of-Discharge (EOD). A learning cycle will happen when the battery discharges from fully charged, all the way to fully discharged, with no charging in between and the discharge current never exceeds RelearnCurrLim (Example: 3000). A relearn will only occur if current does not exceed 3000 mA. The maximum relearn limit. The maximum percentage that the FULL_CAPACITY can change after a learning cycle, where 255 = 100%. Maximum error for learning FullCapacity. The FULL_CAPACITY will not be learned after a learning cycle if the error is too great. The number of initial cycles without RelearnLimit. The initial number of cycles where RelearnLimit is not active. FullCapacity can vary more greatly with the first learning cycle since the initial capacity may not be correct, thus this should be set to at least `2'. Second and final End-Of-Discharge voltage point. At this point, remaining capacity is optionally set to `0'.

# Bytes 2 Lower Limit 0 Upper Limit 65535 Typical Value 3000 Operational Description This is the full charging current that the battery requires during normal charging. It can be broadcasted to the charger or read from the PS501. Trickle charging current. This is a small amount of current that the charger should deliver when full charging needs to be halted temporarily due to high temperature. Temperature threshold when charging, Coded value = (Celsius * 10 + 200)/4. When the temperature exceeds ChrgMaxTemp and the battery is charging, then ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff and ChargingVoltage is set to ChrgVoltOff. Low temperature threshold, Charging coded value = (Celsius * 10 + 200)/4. When charging, if the temperature is less than ChrgMinTemp, then ChargingCurrent is set to ChrgCurrOff and ChargingVoltage is set to ChrgVoltOff. This is the voltage required by the battery during normal charging. Voltage required when charging should be halted. Reset FULLY_CHARGED bit at this level, 100 = 100%. Once the FULLY_CHARGED bit is set, taper or pulse current will not be monitored any more. When discharging begins, the FULLY_CHARGED bit must remain set until the cell voltages are below EOC_VOLT so that a small current will not trigger a false End-Of-Charge trigger. Thus, ClrFullyChrg is set at about 90%. FULLY_CHARGED bit will be on until the battery has discharged to less than 90%. Reset FULLY_DISCHARGED bit, 100 = 100%. Once fully discharged bit is set, it will stay set until capacity rises above this value, typically 10%. EOC trigger for pulse charging. If the average current during charging, with the CFET turned off, has dropped below the AvgCurrEOCThresh threshold for a pass count equal to the EEPROM parameter value ChrgCntrlTimr (typically between 8 and 16), the End-Of-Charge state will be reached. Delay filter for the EOC condition. Number of checks before EOC trigger. The End-Of-Charge conditions must remain for at least this number of periods before being considered true, to help filter out false full conditions due to spikes. EOC trigger cell voltage. When any cell in the battery pack reaches this voltage, the End-Of-Charge determination will start monitoring the average current to determine when the battery is full. When the average current is in the proper range and the cell voltage is greater than EOC_VOLT, then FULLY_CHARGED bit in BatteryStatus will be set and terminate charge alarm will be active. Maximum temperature measured (including external and internal sensor). Coded value = (Celsius * 10 + 200)/4. This is where the PS501 keeps track of the highest temperature it has measured.

Maximum precharge current allowed. When exceeded under precharge conditions, SBData ChargingCurrent is set to zero. Precharge temperature, Coded value = (Celsius * 10 + 200)/4. This is the temperature under which precharging should occur. Precharge cell voltage. This is the voltage under which precharging should occur. Second EOC trigger based on State-Of-Charge, 100 = 100%. A second End-Of-Charge trigger is built into the PS501, such that if the State-Of-Charge exceeds a certain value, End-Of-Charge will be forced, even if the taper or pulse current was not detected. When State-Of-Charge reaches SOCThreshold, then End-Of-Charge will trigger. EOC trigger current deviation level. In order to prevent current spikes from causing a premature taper current trigger, the average current and the instantaneous current must be within StableCurr of each other for the End-Of-Charge to trigger on the taper current. Upper limit EOC taper current based on temperature, TaperCRate = 64/1C. Example: If 1C = 2200 and TaperCRate = 3, then the upper limit for taper window is 3/64 * 2200 = 103 mA. Lower limit EOC taper current, TaperLow = 64/1C. Example: If 1C = 2200 and TaperLow = 1, then the lower limit for taper window is 1/64 * 2200 = 34 mA. Temperature corresponding to TaperCRate byte, TaperTemp = (temp. C * 10 + 200)/4. Example: TaperTemp = 100 [(100 * 4 - 200)/10 = 20C].

Instead, hold it steady until discharge catches up. This is so user does not see capacity increase while discharging (though usable capacity may increase if the temperature changes, user would be confused). 5 Use compensated FCC - use compensated FCC to compute RSOC. Allows compensated RSOC to equal 100% at full charge (delete). 4 Limit RSOC to 99% until EOC. 3 Report compensated FCC - the compensated FCC is reported in SBData to allow for externally calculated RSOC (delete). 2 Set capacity to positive immediately upon charging. If discharged below zero, this allows capacity to count up immediately upon charging. 1 Learn unconditionally - relearn FCC no matter what. Typically we have a max. current and a max. error limitation on relearn. This would take away the limitations. Typically used for testing only. 0 Self-discharge disable.

Sample mode current is specified during an A/D inactive cycle. Sample mode average current can be calculated using the formula: Average Sample Mode Supply Current = (IDDRUN + (n - 1) * IDDINS)/n; where `n' is the programmed sample rate. During LED illumination, currents may peak at 10 mA but average individual LED current is typically 5 mA (using low-current, high-brightness devices). Measured at 25C.

Used when broadcasting AlarmWarning, ChargingCurrent and/or ChargingVoltage values to either a SMBus Host or a SMBus Smart Battery Charger. This is only used when the PS501 becomes a SMBus master for these functions. The receiving (slave) device may slow the transfer frequency. See SMBus Tutorial in P4 User's Guide for additional information. The PS501 will time-out when the cumulative message time defined from Start-to-Ack, Ack-to-Ack or Ack-to-Stop exceeds the value of tTIMEOUT, min. of 25 ms. The PS501 will reset the communication no later than tTIMEOUT, max. of 35 ms. tHIGH max. provides a simple method for devices to detect bus idle conditions. tLOW:SEXT is the cumulative time a slave device is allowed to extend the clock cycles in one message from the initial start to the stop. tLOW:MEXT is the cumulative time a master device is allowed to extend its clock cycles within each byte of a message as defined from Start-to-Ack, Ack-to-Ack or Ack-to-Stop. Rise and fall time is defined as follows: tR = (VILMAX -0.15) to (VIHMIN +0.15) tF = 0.9 VDD to (VILMAX -0.15)
