I’ll research the manufacturer’s specifications, wiring guidance, alternatives, and ordering details, then create a cited application guide in the project’s Files tab.
I confirmed two important integration details: VDD—not CELL—is the battery-sense input on this part, and the firmware’s 7-bit I²C address is 0x36. I’m finishing the package and sourcing checks and clearly separating redesign alternatives from drop-in replacements.
The Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) MAX17048G+T10 is a single-cell lithium-ion battery fuel-gauge IC that estimates relative state of charge using ModelGauge without an external current-sense resistor. Its common use is battery-percentage and battery-voltage reporting over I²C in portable, battery-powered electronics.
Scope: the G-package 8-pin TDFN-EP ordering code, not the WLP version or the two-cell MAX17049. Research checked October 6, 2026; inventory and ordering terms must be reconfirmed when purchasing.
1. Quick Specifications
Absolute maximum ratings are damage limits, not permissible continuous operating conditions.
Created the cited MAX17048G+T10 Application and Usage Guide with all seven requested sections, practical wiring guidance, and sourcing details. It highlights VDD battery sensing and the correct 0x36 I²C address, labels alternatives as non-drop-in, and explicitly flags unresolved lead-pitch and alternative-integration details.
