Help identifying this chip - battery controller chip ?

Re: Help identifying this chip - battery controller chip ?

Yes it is a Dell raid battery - I have a Lsi 9260-8i and their battery cost 227$ here in Norway and as these Dell Perc 6 batteries has the same pinout and battery plug as Lsi and as the Perc 6 raid card is made by Lsi I thought I could swap them but 9260 card does not see the battery.

I was hoping that there was a small eprom that could be changed to match Lsi data.

Pinout is data,clock,-,T,+ see picture.

its a battery fuel gauge chip.
probably house marked.
is that a dell raid backup battery?
i tore up a bunch for the cells.
its probably ti/benchmarq though.

Thanks for all your effort Spork Schivago - I didn't manage to find anything either.

Got a response from TI. I'll just copy and paste what they said Gabriel...

You can look up part marking on a tool on our website. I have looked up the part and this is what I got: http://www.ti.com/packaging/docs/partlookup.tsp#divline

Part number | Marking | Package | pins Status | Description

LP38842T-1.2/NOPB LP38842T-1.2 KC | 5 ACTIVE 1.5A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulators
LP38842T-1.5/NOPB LP38842T-1.5 KC | 5 ACTIVE 1.5A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulators
TL4242TDRJRQ1 4242T DRJ | 8 ACTIVE Automotive Adjustable LED Driver

I know the formatting is a little hard to read. Couldn't figure out how to add a grid. It's | separated.

As you can see, none of them have 30 pins like your chip. So now I'm questioning whether it's actually TI or not. Sorry. Wish I could be more helpful.

Re: Help identifying this chip - battery controller chip ?

i doubt that - it's probably a microcontroller with a serial port given it's acting as a charge controller.

Yeah, before you replied, I thought the same and modified my statement. We must of been cross posting or whatever it's called. I still think it's made by TI though and hopefully they'll respond soon.

I believe it's made by Texas Instrument and I couldn't find any datasheets on the chip. When I searched for it though, I found an Enhanced Product Hex Buffer/Driver With Open-Drain Outputs ( http://www.alibaba.com/product-detai...680448902.html ). SN74LVC07A-EP lists your sn0710031 as a related part number0. Here's a datasheet for the SN74LVC07A-EP https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...d50210e6ea.pdf

I've contacted TI to see if they can help identify it. Hopefully they'll respond soon with a link to a datasheet or something.
Hope this helps.

What chip is the large sn0710031 ?
