POWER SWITCH INPUT

The DS2764 provides a power control function that uses the discharge protection FET to gate battery power to the

system. The

device to transition into active mode, turning on the discharge FET. If the DS2764 is already in active mode, activity

on

PS has no effect on the FET control.

The host system has the option of monitoring activity on the

PS pin by reading the PS bit in the Special Feature

Register. The

PS bit latches a 0 value when a logic low occurs on the PS pin regardless of the operating mode of

the DS2764. If the host intends to monitor future

PS pin events, it must write a 1 to the PS bit to ensure that a

subsequent low forced on the

PS pin is latched into the PS bit. The PS bit value has no effect on operation of the

DS2764 and can be ignored if

PS pin monitoring is not required.

MEMORY

The DS2764 has a 256-byte linear address space. Registers for instrumentation, status, and control are mapped

in the lower 32 bytes, with lockable EEPROM blocks and the unique ROM ID occupying portions of the remaining

address space. The Function Command Register occupies location FEh. All EEPROM memory is general purpose

except byte addresses 31h, 32h and 33h, which should be written with the default values for the Status register, 2-

Wire slave address and Current Offset register, respectively. When reading two-byte registers, (Current, ACR,

Voltage and Temperature), the MSB should be read first. When the MSB of two-byte registers is read, the MSB

and LSB are latched simultaneously and held for the duration of the Read Data transaction. This prevents register

updates during the read and ensures synchronization between the MSB and LSB of two byte register values. For

consistent results, always read the MSB and the LSB of a two-byte register during the same Read Data

transaction.

EEPROM memory is shadowed by RAM to eliminate programming delays between writes and to allow the data to

be verified by the host system before being copied to EEPROM. The Read Data and Write Data protocols to/from

EEPROM memory addresses access the shadow RAM. The Recall Data function command transfers data from the

EEPROM to the shadow RAM. The Copy Data function command transfers data from the shadow RAM to the

data updates shadow RAM. In locked EEPROM blocks, attempts to write data are ignored. The Copy Data

function command copies the contents of shadow RAM to EEPROM in an unlocked block of EEPROM but has no

effect on locked blocks. The Recall Data function command copies the contents of a block of EEPROM to shadow

RAM regardless of whether the block is locked or not.
