Customer wants me to plop a gas gauge into their circuit for a LiPo. They currently have a Maxim DS2784G; their software guy says "One-wire -- ick". Since I've had bad experiences with Maxim, I'm happy to make a change. (Is Maxim still sometimes-horrible on delivery?)
So -- anyone have a knee-jerk favorite gas-gauge chip? DigiKey barfs up the STC3100 as a good choice, but I don't know anything about any of these beyond what I can read in the data sheets.
The STC3100 has an I2C interface, which may or may not be acceptable to the customer. An SPI interface may or may not be better -- I'd like to have some choices with which to juggle. DigiKey's usually wonderful search engine, alas, does not list interface type on their gas-gauge chips.
