1.3 DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq27520-G3 system-side
Li-Ion battery fuel gauge is a microcontroller
peripheral that provides fuel gauging for single-cell
Li-Ion battery packs. The device requires little system
microcontroller firmware development. The resides on
the system’s main board and manages an embedded
battery (non-removable) or a removable battery pack.
The bq27520-G3 uses the patented Impedance
Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides
information such as remaining battery capacity
(mAh), state-of-charge (%), run-time to empty (min),
battery voltage (mV), temperature (°C) and state of
health (%).
Battery fuel gauging with the requires only PACK+
(P+), PACK– (P–), and Thermistor (T) connections to
a removable battery pack or embedded battery
circuit. The CSP option is a 15-ball package in the
nominal dimensions of 2610 × 1956 µm with 0,5 mm
lead pitch. It is ideal for space constrained
applications.
