DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq27520-G4 system-side LiIon 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 bq27520G4 resides on the systems main board and manages
an embedded battery (non-removable) or a
removable battery pack.
The bq27520-G4 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 bq27520-G4 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 (CSP) package in the nominal
dimensions of 2610 1956 m with 0,5 mm lead
pitch. It is ideal for space constrained applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27520-G4 accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single Libased rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such as timeto-empty (TTE) and state-of-charge (SOC) as well as SOC interrupt signal to the host.
Information is accessed through a series of commands, called Standard Commands. Further capabilities are
provided by the additional Extended Commands set. Both sets of commands, indicated by the general format
Command( ), are used to read and write information contained within the device control and status registers, as
well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the bq27520-G4 s I2C serial
communications engine, and can be executed during application development, system manufacture, or endequipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the device in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locations are
accessible during application development. They cannot, generally, be accessed directly during end-equipment
operation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27520-G4 s companion evaluation
software, through individual commands, or through a sequence of data-flash-access commands. To access a
desired data flash location, the correct data flash subclass and offset must be known.
The key to the bq27520-G4 s high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instruments proprietary Impedance
Track algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create state-ofcharge predictions that can achieve less than 1% error across a wide variety of operating conditions and over the
lifetime of the battery.
The device measures charge/discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series sense
resistor (5 m to 20 m typ.) located between the systems Vss and the batterys PACK- terminal. When a cell is
attached to the device, cell impedance is learned, based on cell current, cell open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell
voltage under loading conditions.
The device external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negative temperature
coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0k 1%. B25/85 = 3435K 1% (such as Semitec NTC 103AT).
Alternatively, the bq27520-G4 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor or receive
temperature data from the host processor. When an external thermistor is used, a 18.2k pull up resistor between
BI/TOUT and TS pins is also required. The bq27520-G4 uses temperature to monitor the battery-pack
environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the device has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP+, SLEEP,
HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27520-G4 passes automatically between these modes,
depending upon the occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes
directly.
For complete operational details, refer to bq27520-G4 Technical Reference Manual.

DATA COMMANDS
STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
Thebq27520-G4 uses a series of 2-byte standard commands to enable system reading and writing of battery
information. Each standard command has an associated command-code pair, as indicated in Table 2. Because
each command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I2C transmissions must be executed both to
initiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes of data. Additional details are
found in the bq27520-G4 Technical Reference Manual.

DESCRIPTION
bq27520-G4
www.ti.com
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27520-G4 measures the voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery capacity and state of
charge (SOC) based on the patented Impedance Track algorithm (Refer to Application Report SLUA450,
Theory and Implementation of Impedance Track Battery Fuel-Gauging Algorithm for more information). The
bq27520-G4 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5 m
to 20 m typ.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the battery. By integrating charge passing
through the battery, the batterys SOC is adjusted during battery charge or discharge.
Battery capacity is found by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with the amount of
charge passed. When a system load is applied, the impedance of the battery is measured by comparing the
open circuit voltage (OCV) obtained from a predefined function for present SOC with the measured voltage under
load. Measurements of OCV and charge integration determine chemical state of charge and chemical capacity
(Qmax). The initial Qmax values are taken from a cell manufacturers' data sheet multiplied by the number of
parallel cells. It is also used for the value in Design Capacity. The bq27520-G4 acquires and updates the
battery-impedance profile during normal battery usage. It uses this profile, along with SOC and the Qmax value,
to determine FullChargeCapacity( ) and StateOfCharge( ), specifically for the present load and temperature.
FullChargeCapacity( ) is reported as capacity available from a fully charged battery under the present load and
temperature until Voltage( ) reaches the Terminate Voltage. NominalAvailableCapacity( ) and
FullAvailableCapacity( ) are the uncompensated (no or light load) versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and
FullChargeCapacity( ) respectively.
The bq27520-G4 has two Flags( ) bits and two pins to warn the host if the batterys SOC has fallen to critical
levels. If RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold specified by SOC1 Set Threshold, the
Flags ( ) [SOC1] bit is set and is cleared if RemainingCapacity( ) rises above the SOC1 Clear Threshold. If
enabled via OpConfig C [BATLSPUEN], the BAT_LOW pin reflects the status of the [SOC1] flag bit. Also, if
enabled by OpConfig B [BL_INT], the SOC_INT will toggle upon a state change of the [SOC1] flag bit.
As Voltage( ) falls below the SysDown Set Volt Threshold, the Flags( ) [SYSDOWN] bit is set and SOC_INT
will toggle once to provide a final warning to shut down the system. As Voltage( ) rises above SysDown Clear
Voltage the [SYSDOWN] bit is cleared and SOC_INT will toggle once to signal the status change.
Additional details are found in the bq27520-G4 Technical Reference Manual.

I2C INTERFACE
The bq27520-G4 supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, quick read, one byte write, and incremental
write functions. The 7 bit device address (ADDR) is the most significant 7 bits of the hex address and is fixed as
1010101. The first 8-bits of the I2C protocol will; therefore, be 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

(S = Start , Sr = Repeated Start , A = Acknowledge , N = No Acknowledge , and P = Stop).
The quick read returns data at the address indicated by the address pointer. The address pointer, a register
internal to the I2C communication engine, will increment whenever data is acknowledged by the bq27520-G4 or
the I2C master. Quick writes function in the same manner and are a convenient means of sending multiple
bytes to consecutive command locations (such as two-byte commands that require two bytes of data)
The following command sequences are not supported:
Attempt to write a read-only address (NACK after data sent by master):
Attempt to read an address above 0x6B (NACK command):
I2C Time Out

The I2C engine will release both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for 2 seconds. If the bq27520-G4 was
holding the lines, releasing them will free them for the master to drive the lines. If an external condition is holding
either of the lines low, the I2C engine will enter the low power sleep mode.

I2C Command Waiting Time

To ensure proper operation at 400 kHz, a t(BUF) 66 s bus free waiting time should be inserted between all
packets addressed to the bq27520-G4 . In addition, if the SCL clock frequency (fSCL) is > 100 kHz, use individual
1-byte write commands for proper data flow control. The following diagram shows the standard waiting time
required between issuing the control subcommand the reading the status result. An OCV_CMD subcommand
requires 1.2 seconds prior to reading the result. For read-write standard command, a minimum of 2 seconds is
required to get the result updated. For read-only standard commands, there is no waiting time required, but the
host should not issue all standard commands more than two times per second. Otherwise, the gauge could result
in a reset issue due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.

I2C Clock Stretching

A clock stretch can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a short
clock stretch will occur on all I2C traffic as the device must wake-up to process the packet. In the other modes (
BAT INSERT CHECK , NORMAL, SLEEP+ ) clock stretching will only occur for packets addressed for the fuel
gauge. The majority of clock stretch periods are small as the I2C interface performs normal data flow control.
However, less frequent yet more significant clock stretch periods may occur as blocks of Data Flash are updated.
The following table summarizes the approximate clock stretch duration for various fuel gauge operating
conditions.
