3 Description
The Texas Instruments bq27520-G4 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 fuel
gauge resides on the main board of the system and
manages an embedded battery (non-removable) or a
removable battery pack.
The fuel gauge 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
(minimum), battery voltage (mV), temperature (°C),
and state of health (%).
Battery fuel gauging requires only PACK+ (P+),
PACK– (P–), and optional Thermistor (T) connections
to a removable battery pack or embedded battery
circuit. The device uses a 15-ball NanoFree™
(DSBGA) package in the nominal dimensions of 2610
× 1956 µm with 0.5-mm lead pitch. It is ideal for
space-constrained applications.
