DESCRIPTION
The bq26500, the first in the bqJUNIORt family
of advanced gas gauge device for handhald
applications, is a highly accurate standalone
single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Pol battery capacity
monitoring and reporting device targeted at space
limited portable applications. The device monitors
a voltage drop across a small current sense
resistor connected in series with the battery to
determine charge and discharge activity of the
battery. Compensations for battery temperature,
self-discharge, and rate of discharge are applied
to the charge counter to provide available capacity
across a wide range of operating conditions.
Battery capacity is automatically recalibrated, or
learned, in the course of a discharge cycle from full
to empty. Internal registers include available
capacity, cell temperature and voltage,
state-of-charge, and status and control registers.
The bq26500 can operate directly from single-cell
Li-Ion and Li-Pol batteries and communicates to
the system over a simple one-wire bi-directional
serial interface. The 5-kbits/s HDQ bus interface
reduces communication overhead in the external
microcontroller.
