MEMORY
The DS2441 contains four 32-byte pages of memory. See the page descriptions below, the Memory Map
in Figure 11, and the detailed register descriptions on the pages that follow for more information.
Locations labeled “Reserved” in the Memory Map always read out FFh. Locations labeled “unused”
always read out 00h.
Page 0
contains the Control, Delay Timing, Discharge Termination Warning, and Manufacturing ID
registers. All of these registers are read/write except the read-only Manufacturing ID. This entire page
can be locked against accidental write access by setting the LOCK bit of the Status Register to logic 1.
During a power-on reset (POR) event, the DS2441 loads each of these registers with default values stored
in laser ROM and set the Status Register LOCK bit. See the Discharge Termination Warning section and
the sections on the Control, Delay Timing and Manufacturing ID registers for more details.
Page 1
is read only and contains the Status Register, the Temperature Register and the Voltage Register.
See the Temperature Measurement, Voltage Measurement and Status Register sections for more
information.
Page 2
contains the Configuration Register, the Current Register and the ICA, CCA and DCA. During a
power-on reset event the DS2441 loads the Configuration Register with its default value stored in laser
ROM. The ICA, CCA and DCA registers power-on in a random state and should be set to a known value
by the host system. See the Current Measurement, Current Accumulators and Configuration Register
sections for more details.
Page 3
contains 32 bytes of user memory. All memory locations in this page power-on in a random state.
Since the registers and memory in the DS2441 are full-CMOS SRAM, battery pack data is maintained by
battery power even during undervoltage conditions. If the battery pack is externally short circuited,
causing temporary battery voltage collapse, power circuitry in the DS2441 maintains acceptable voltage
to the memory for at least t
SCD
to allow time for the lithium-ion protection circuitry to turn off the
discharge FET and remove the cause of the supply voltage collapse.
All registers and user memory in the DS2441 can be read and written under all power supply conditions,
including loss of voltage on the V
DD
pin, via the parasite-powered 1-Wire bus.
