MAX17260SETD+

Overview

The MAX17260SETD+ is a single-cell fuel gauge IC from the ModelGauge family, designed for lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate batteries. It integrates the ModelGauge m5 EZ algorithm to provide accurate state-of-charge readings with minimal calibration. The device operates on a supply voltage of 2.3 V to 4.9 V and features an output voltage of 1.8 V. It communicates via an I2C interface and is housed in a 14-TDFN (3x3 mm) package with an exposed pad. The component supports surface mount installation and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates ModelGauge m5 EZ algorithm for high-accuracy battery monitoring without complex calibration
• Supports optional high-side current sensing for enhanced measurement flexibility
• Designed specifically for single-cell lithium-ion and LiFePO4 battery chemistries

Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring extended runtime

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+T vs +) against your bill of materials, as packaging formats differ between tape-and-reel and tube configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high accuracy is required for single-cell applications with limited calibration resources. The ModelGauge m5 EZ technology reduces development time by minimizing the need for extensive system-level tuning. Consider the exposed pad thermal design requirements associated with the TDFN package for optimal heat dissipation during operation.
