FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
Figure 3 shows a typical application circuit. Differential sense of the voltage across the current sense resistor,
R_S, improves device performance, leading to an improvement in reported time-to-empty accuracy. An internal
3-µA pull-down on the HDQ or SDA and SCL lines ensures that the device detects a logic 0 on the
communication lines and allows the device to automatically enter the low-power sleep mode when the system
power is switched off or the pack is removed. A 100 kΩ pullup to V_CC can be added to the communication lines if
this feature needs to be disabled. The bqJUNIOR can operate directly from a single Li-Ion or Li-Pol cell.

Measurements
As shown in the functional block diagram, the bqJUNIOR uses a dedicated fully differential Delta-Sigma
Coulomb Counter (DSCC) for charge and discharge current and coulometric measurements and an
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for battery voltage and temperature measurements. Both DSCC and ADC are
automatically compensated for offset. No user calibration or compensation is required. An EEPROM offset value
can be programmed to compensate for contributions to the DSCC offset due to the PCB layout.
Charge and Discharge Coulometric and Current Measurements
The bqJUNIOR uses a DSCC to perform a continuous integration of the voltage waveform across a small value
sense resistor in the negative lead of the battery, as shown in Figure 3. The integration of the voltage across the
sense resistor is the charge added or removed from the battery. Because the DSCC does a direct integration of
the waveform, the shape of the current waveform through the sense resistor does not have any effect on the
coulometric measurement accuracy. The low-pass filter that feeds the sense resistor voltage to the bqJUNIOR
SRP and SRN inputs filters out system noise and does not affect the coulometric measurement accuracy,
because the low-pass filter does not change the integrated value of the waveform. The bqJUNIOR also uses the
DSCC to measure current. The reported current is determined by the average voltage across the sense resistor
over a 5.12 second interval.
