All functions needed for SB are packed to this M61040FP. The
combination use with Microcomputer such as M37515 will give various
functions such as a detection or calculation of SB Remaining Capacity.
Over Current detection circuit dedicated in M61040FP will give safety
FET on/off control independent from microcomputer control.
The amp gain of charge/discharge current detection circuit is controlled
by microcomputer, therefore the accuracy of SB’s Remaining Capacity

2. Operation description
M61040 is developed for intelligent Li-ion battery pack such as SB in SBS. M61040 is suitable for Smart
Battery.
*SBS: Smart Battery System introduced by Intel and Duracell
*SB: Smart Battery which contains 3 or 4 series Li-ion battery cells.
All analog circuits are included to M61040. Therefore pair using with Microcomputer such as M37515
and small additional parts will give various functions such as battery remaining capacity detection. All
functions are described as follows:
1)Voltage Detection circuit of each Li-ion battery cells
M61040 can output each battery cell’s voltage of 3 or 4 series connection. Built-in buffer amplifier is
monitoring each battery voltage. Microcomputer can adjust the offset voltage.
2)Charge / discharge current detection circuit
In SBS, remaining capacity check function (Gas-gage function ) is necessary. To calculate accurate
remaining capacity, microcomputer must get charge / discharge current periodically. Accurate charge /
discharge current of external sense register is monitored by built-in amp. The charger/ discharge
current is converted to Voltage value through the accurate sense resistor.
Output gain can be controlled by Microcomputer. Off-set voltage can be set lower by external parts,
therefore dynamic range of Microcomputer’s A to D converter will widen.
3) Over current detection circuit
M61040 contains over current detection circuit. The discharging FET is turned off to stop discharging
and it continues for the over current detection delay time (tIOV1) or longer, if the discharging current
becomes equal to or higher than a specified value. It is necessary for safety of Li-ion battery pack.
Delay time is set by external capacity connected to CIN. Also the voltage of CIN shows detection or
NOT detection of over current. Over current detection is controlled independently by this M61040’s
built-in hardware NOT by Microcomputer’s software control.
4) Series regulator, reference voltage
M61040 contains Low drop out series regulator. Microcomputer in SB does not need any additional
voltage regulator, MAX 20mA/5V. Also M61040 gives very accurate reference voltage as 4.85V for Vref
voltage for Microcomputer’s A to D converter.
5) Reset circuit for Microcomputer
Vreg output voltage is checked by Reset circuit of M61040. Therefore, lower voltage of Vreg issues
RESET signal to stop mull-function of Microcomputer. Also, lower voltage after long time’s left issues
RESET signal to stop mull-function of Microcomputer. This function is useful for safety of long time’s
left battery.
When charger is connected to SB, this circuit will check Vreg voltage, so if Vreg voltage is NOT
enough high, this circuit remains Low as for RESET signal to Microcomputer.

6) Power save function
M61040FP contains power save function to control several supply current.
The function and control method are shown as table 2.
The function of battery voltage detection circuit, Charge/Discharge detection circuit, Over current
detection circuit can be stopped as the need arises.

(through Serial I/F)
Enter Power Down Mode
Microcomputer issues shot-down command to M61040 after microcomputer detects that battery
voltage is too low. After this command, the DFOUT pin is set to `high` and the Vin_12pin is pulled
down by internal resistor to be set `low` and series regulator are turned off.
In the power down mode, the M61040 operation is impossible. And CFOUT, DFOUT and PFOUT
pins are set to `high`. (In this situation, both charging and discharging are forbidden. )
At this time, supply current becomes max. 1.0µA ,so drops of battery voltage is prevented.

Each function can be ON/OFF separately.

Resume from Power Down Mode
After entering Power Down mode, the series regulator will begin operation when charger is
connected(VIN_12 pin is high). The RESET will output low to high signal when Vreg is over reset level
voltage. Microcomputer will begin operation and send command to resume M61040 from Power Down
mode.
7) Conditioning Circuit
M61040 have a discharge circuit of each cells. It is available for drop of cell voltage for safety purpose.
And to shorten the difference voltage among the cells . It can extend the battery pack life.
