The Maxim Integrated DS2756E+ is a single-cell battery monitor IC designed for Lithium Ion/Polymer packs. It communicates over a 1-Wire interface, which means a single data line plus ground carries both power and bidirectional data — useful for reducing wiring in a pack assembly. The part is housed in an 8-TSSOP package, a compact surface-mount footprint that fits tight PCB layouts common in portable equipment.
Single-cell monitor — what it means for the BOM
This monitor is built for one-cell stacks only. It lacks the input range for multi-cell balancing.
