ModelGauge m3 Fuel Gauge

Cycles Register (17h)

The Cycles register accumulates total percent change in
the cell during both charging and discharging. The result
is stored as a total count of full charge/discharge cycles.
For example, a full charge/discharge cycle results in
the Cycles register incrementing by 100%. The Cycles
register has a full range of 0 to 65535% with a 1% LSb.
This register is reset to 0% at power-up. To maintain the
lifetime cycle count of the cell, this register must be peri-
odically saved by the host and rewritten to the device at
power-up. See the

Save and Restore Registers

section

for details. See

Figure 18

for the Cycles register format.

VFOCV Register (FBh)

The VFOCV register contains the raw open-circuit volt-
age output of the voltage fuel gauge. This value is used

in other internal calculations and can be read for debug
purposes. The result is a 12-bit value ranging from 2.5V
to 5.119V where 1 LSb is 1.25mV. The bottom 4 bits of
this register are don’t care bits. See

Figure 19

for the

VFOCV register format.

FullCAP Register (10h)

This register holds the ModelGauge m3 algorithm calcu-
lated full capacity of the cell under best-case conditions
(light load, hot). A new full-capacity value is calculated
after the end of every charge cycle in the application. The
value is stored in terms of FVh and must be divided by
the application sense-resistor value to determine capac-
ity in mAh.

Figure 20

is the FullCAP register format. See

the

End-of-Charge Detection

section.
