MAX17043G+T
Overview
The MAX17043G+T is a single-cell battery fuel-gauge IC from Analog Devices (Maxim). It estimates state-of-charge and reports battery information to a host microcontroller using a serial interface, making it well suited for compact battery-powered products. The device is widely used in portable designs and has broad community and reference-design support.
Why Choose This Part
The MAX17043G+T is compact and designed for low-power battery-powered designs, offering accurate state-of-charge reporting without large external components. Its serial interface makes it easy to integrate with most microcontrollers, and its broad adoption means there are reference designs and community examples to speed development.
Applications
Getting Started
Begin with the MAX17043 datasheet and any Analog Devices/Maxim application notes or evaluation kits for hardware reference. Connect the gauge to your MCU over the I2C/SMBus-compatible interface, power the cell, and read the SOC and voltage registers; many vendors and community repositories provide example drivers and initialization code. If you prefer a quick prototype, use a breakout board or an evaluation module that exposes the device pins and I2C lines.
