Product Summary
The DS2438Z is a Smart Battery Monitor which provides several functions that are desirable to carry in a battery pack: a means of tagging a battery pack with a unique serial number, a direct-to-digital temperature sensor which eliminates the need for thermistors in the battery pack, an A/D converter which measures the battery voltage and current, an integrated current accumulator which keeps a running total of all current going into and out of the battery, an elapsed time meter, and 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM memory for storage of important parameters such as battery chemistry, battery capacity, charging methodology and assembly date. Information is sent to/from the DS2438Z over a 1-Wire interface, so that only one wire (and ground) needs to be connected from a central microprocessor to a DS2438Z. This means that battery packs need only have three output connectors: battery power, ground, and the 1-Wire interface.
