The Texas Instruments bq27500 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 bq27500
resides on the system main board and manages an
embedded battery (non-removable) or a removable
battery pack.
• Battery Fuel Gauge Based on Patented
Impedance Track™ Technology
– Models the Battery Discharge Curve for
Accurate Time-to-Empty Predictions
The bq27500 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), and temperature (°C).
– Automatically Adjusts for Battery Aging,
Battery Self-Discharge, and
Temperature/Rate Inefficiencies
– Low-Value Sense Resistor (10 mΩ or Less)
• I2C™ Interface for Connection to System
Microcontroller Port
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27500 requires only
PACK+ (P+), PACK– (P–), and Thermistor (T)
• 12-Pin 2,5-mm × 4-mm SON Package
connections to
a
removable battery pack or
embedded battery.

SLUS914A–OCTOBER 2009–REVISED DECEMBER 2009
4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27500 accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single
Li-based rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such
as state-of-charge (SOC), time-to-empty (TTE) and time-to-full (TTF).
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 bq27500 control and
status registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the
bq27500 I2C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development, pack
manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the bq27500 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locations
are accessible during application development. They cannot be accessed directly during end-equipment
operation. Access to these locations is achieved by use of the bq27500 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 bq27500 provides 96 bytes of user-programmable data flash memory, partitioned into three 32-byte
blocks: Manufacturer Info Block A, Manufacturer Info Block B, and Manufacturer Info Block C. This
data space is accessed through a data flash interface. For specifics on accessing the data flash, see
Section 4.3 , Manufacturer Information Blocks.
The key to the high-accuracy fuel gauging prediction of the bq27500 is Texas Instruments' proprietary
Impedance Track algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to
create state-of-charge predictions that can achieve less than 1% error across a wide variety of operating
conditions and over the lifetime of the battery.
The bq27500 measures charge/discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series
sense resistor (5 mΩ to 20 mΩ, typ.) located between the system VSS and the battery PACK– terminal.
When a cell is attached to the bq27500, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell
open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27500 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0 kΩ ± 1% and B25/85 = 3435 K ± 1% (such as
Semitec NTC 103AT). The bq27500 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. When
an external thermistor is used, an 18.2-kΩ pullup resistor between the BI/TOUT and TS pins is also
required. The bq27500 uses temperature to monitor the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel
gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27500 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP+, SLEEP,
HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27500 passes automatically between these modes,
depending upon the occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these
modes directly. More details can be found in Section 5.7, Power Modes.

4.1 DATA COMMANDS
www.ti.com
4.1.1 STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
The bq27500 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 4-1.
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 options for transferring data, such as spooling, are described in Section 7, I2C Interface.
Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation.

4.1.1.1.14 SEALED: 0x0020
Instructs the fuel gauge to transition from the UNSEALED state to the SEALED state. The fuel gauge must
always be set to the SEALED state for use in end equipment.
4.1.1.1.15 IT_ENABLE: 0x0021
This command forces the fuel gauge to begin the Impedance Track algorithm, sets the active Update
Status n location to 0x01 and causes the [VOK] and [QEN] flags to be set in the CONTROL_STATUS
register. [VOK] is cleared if the voltages are not suitable for a Qmax update. Once set, [QEN] cannot be
cleared. This command is only available when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.1.16 CAL_MODE: 0x0040
This command instructs the fuel gauge to enter calibration mode. This command is only available when
the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.1.17 RESET: 0x0041
This command instructs the fuel gauge to perform a full reset. This command is only available when the
fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.2 AtRate( ): 0x02/0x03
The AtRate( ) read/write function is the first half of a two-function command set used to set the AtRate
value used in calculations made by the AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function. The AtRate( ) units are in mA.
The AtRate( ) value is a signed integer, with negative values interpreted as a discharge current value. The
AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function returns the predicted operating time at the AtRate value of discharge. The
default value for AtRate( ) is zero and forces AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) to return 65,535. Both the AtRate( )
and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands must only be used in NORMAL mode.
4.1.1.3 AtRateTimeToEmpty( ): 0x04/0x05
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the
battery is discharged at the AtRate( ) value in minutes, with a range of 0 to 65,534. A value of 65,535
indicates AtRate( ) = 0. The fuel gauge updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) within 1 s after the system sets the
AtRate( ) value. The fuel gauge automatically updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) based on the AtRate( )
value every 1 s. Both the AtRate( ) and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands must only be used in NORMAL
mode.
4.1.1.4 Temperature( ): 0x06/0x07
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the temperature in units of 0.1 K measured by
the fuel gauge.
4.1.1.5 Voltage( ): 0x08/0x09

4.1.1.7 NominalAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0c/0x0d
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (less than C/20 load) battery capacity
remaining. Units are mAh.
4.1.1.8 FullAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0e/0x0f
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (less than C/20 load) capacity of the battery
when fully charged. Units are mAh. FullAvailableCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified by
the IT algorithm.
4.1.1.9 RemainingCapacity( ): 0x10/0x11
This read-only command pair returns the compensated battery capacity remaining. Units are mAh.
4.1.1.10 FullChargeCapacity( ): 0x12/13
This read-only command pair returns the compensated capacity of the battery when fully charged. Units
are mAh. FullChargeCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified by the IT algorithm.
4.1.1.11 AverageCurrent( ): 0x14/0x15
This read-only command pair returns a signed integer value that is the average current flow through the
sense resistor. It is updated every 1 second. Units are mA.
4.1.1.12 TimeToEmpty( ): 0x16/0x17
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the
present rate of discharge, in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates battery is not being discharged.
4.1.1.13 TimeToFull( ): 0x18/0x19
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of predicted remaining time until the battery
reaches full charge, in minutes, based upon AverageCurrent( ). The computation accounts for the taper
current time extension from the linear TTF computation based on a fixed AverageCurrent( ) rate of charge
accumulation. A value of 65,535 indicates the battery is not being charged.
4.1.1.14 StandbyCurrent( ): 0x1a/0x1b
This read-only function returns a signed integer value of the measured standby current through the sense
resistor. The StandbyCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement. Initially it reports the standby current
programmed in Initial Standby Current, and after spending several seconds in standby, reports the
measured standby current.

SLUS914A–OCTOBER 2009–REVISED DECEMBER 2009
The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband in
Table 4-7 and is less than or equal to 2 × Initial Standby Current. The first and last values that meet this
criterion is not averaged in, because they may not be stable values. To approximate a 1-minute time
constant, each new StandbyCurrent( ) value is computed by taking approximately 93% of the weight of the
last standby current and approximately 7% of the present measured average current.
4.1.1.15 StandbyTimeToEmpty( ): 0x1c/0x1d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the
standby rate of discharge, in minutes. The computation uses Nominal Available Capacity (NAC), the
uncompensated remaining capacity, for this computation. A value of 65,535 indicates battery is not being
discharged.
4.1.1.16 MaxLoadCurrent( ): 0x1e/0x1f
This read-only function returns a signed integer value, in units of mA, of the maximum load conditions.
The MaxLoadCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement which is initially reported as the maximum load
current programmed in Initial Max Load Current. If the measured current is ever greater than Initial Max
Load Current, then MaxLoadCurrent( ) updates to the new current. MaxLoadCurrent( ) is reduced to the
average of the previous value and Initial Max Load Current whenever the battery is charged to full after
a previous discharge to an SOC less than 50%. This prevents the reported value from maintaining an
unusually high value.
4.1.1.17 MaxLoadTimeToEmpty( ): 0x20/0x21
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the
maximum load current discharge rate, in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates that the battery is not being
discharged.
4.1.1.18 AvailableEnergy( ): 0x22/0x23
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted charge or energy remaining in
the battery. The value is reported in units of mWh.
4.1.1.19 AveragePower( ): 0x24/0x25
This read-only function returns a signed integer value of the average power during battery charging and
discharging. It is negative during discharge and positive during charge. A value of 0 indicates that the
battery is not being discharged. The value is reported in units of mW.
4.1.1.20 TimeToEmptyAtConstantPower( ): 0x26/0x27
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the
battery is discharged at the AveragePower( ) value in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates
AveragePower( ) = 0. The fuel gauge automatically updates TimeToEmptyatContantPower( ) based on the
AveragePower( ) value every 1 s.
4.1.1.21 CycleCount( ): 0x2a/0x2b
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the number of cycles the battery has
experienced with a range of 0 to 65,535. One cycle occurs when accumulated discharge ≥ CC Threshold.
4.1.1.22 StateOfCharge( ): 0x2c/0x2d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery capacity
expressed as a percentage of FullChargeCapacity( ), with a range of 0 to 100%.

(1) SEALED and UNSEALED states are entered via commands to CNTL 0x00/0x01.
(2) In sealed mode, data flash CANNOT be accessed through commands 0x3e and 0x3f.
4.1.2.1 DesignCapacity( ): 0x3c/0x3d
SEALED and UNSEALED Access: This command returns the theoretical or nominal capacity of a new
pack. The value is stored in Design Capacity and is expressed in mAh. This is intended to be the
theoretical or nominal capacity of a new pack, but has no bearing on the operation of the fuel gauge
functionality.
4.1.2.2 DataFlashClass( ): 0x3e
UNSEALED Access: This command sets the data flash class to be accessed. The class to be accessed
must be entered in hexadecimal.
SEALED Access: This command is not available in SEALED mode.
4.1.2.3 DataFlashBlock( ): 0x3f
UNSEALED Access: This command sets the data flash block to be accessed. When 0x00 is written to
BlockDataControl( ), DataFlashBlock( ) holds the block number of the data flash to be read or written.
Example: writing a 0x00 to DataFlashBlock( ) specifies access to the first 32-byte block, a 0x01 specifies
access to the second 32-byte block, and so on.
SEALED Access: This command directs which data flash block is accessed by the BlockData( ) command.
Writing a 0x00 to DataFlashBlock( ) specifies that the BlockData( ) command transfers authentication data.
Issuing a 0x01, 0x02, or 0x03 instructs the BlockData( ) command to transfer Manufacturer Info Block A,
B, or C, respectively.
4.1.2.4 BlockData( ): 0x40…0x5f
This command range is the 32-byte data block used to access Manufacturer Info Block A, B, or C.

4.2 DATA FLASH INTERFACE
4.2.1 ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH
The bq27500 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27500 initialization, default, cell status,
calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different ways,
depending on what mode the bq27500 is operating in and what data is being accessed.
Commonly accessed data flash memory locations, frequently read by a system, are conveniently
accessed through specific instructions, already described in Section 4.1, DATA COMMANDS . These
commands are available when the bq27500 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27500
evaluation software or by data flash block transfers. These locations must be optimized and/or fixed during
the development and manufacture processes. They become part of a golden image file and can then be
written to multiple battery packs. Once established, the values generally remain unchanged during
end-equipment operation.
To access data flash locations individually, the block containing the desired data flash location(s) must be
transferred to the command register locations, where the information can be read to the system or
changed directly. This is accomplished by sending the setup command BlockDataControl( ) (0x61) with
data 0x00. Up to 32 bytes of data can be read directly from the BlockData( ) (0x40…0x5f), externally
altered, then rewritten to the BlockData( ) command space. Alternatively, specific locations can be read,
altered, and rewritten if their corresponding offsets are used to index into the BlockData( ) command
space. Finally, the data residing in the command space is transferred to data flash, once the correct
checksum for the whole block is written to BlockDataChecksum( ) (0x60).

Occasionally, a data flash CLASS is larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the DataFlashBlock( )
command is used to designate in which 32-byte block the desired information resides. The correct
command address is then given by 0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Terminate Voltage
in the Fuel Gauging class, DataFlashClass( ) is issued 80 (0x50) to set the class. Because the offset is 48,
it must reside in the second 32-byte block. Hence, DataFlashBlock( ) is issued 0x01 to set the block offset,
and the offset used to index into the BlockData( ) memory area is 0x40 + 48 modulo 32 = 0x40 + 16 =
0x40 + 0x10 = 0x50.
Reading and writing subclass data are block operations up to 32 bytes in length. If during a write the data
length exceeds the maximum block size, then the data is ignored.
None of the data written to memory are bounded by the bq27500– the values are not rejected by the fuel
gauge. Writing an incorrect value may result in hardware failure due to firmware program interpretation of
the invalid data. The written data is persistent, so a power-on reset does resolve the fault.
4.3 MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS
The bq27500 contains 96 bytes of user programmable data flash storage: Manufacturer Info Block A,
Manufacturer Info Block B, Manufacturer Info Block C. The method for accessing these memory
locations is slightly different, depending on whether the device is in UNSEALED or SEALED mode.
When in UNSEALED mode and when and 0x00 has been written to BlockDataControl( ), accessing the
manufacturer information blocks is identical to accessing general data flash locations. First, a
DataFlashClass( ) command is used to set the subclass, then a DataFlashBlock( ) command sets the
offset for the first data flash address within the subclass. The BlockData( ) command codes contain the
referenced data flash data. When writing the data flash, a checksum is expected to be received by
BlockDataChecksum( ). Only when the checksum is received and verified is the data actually written to
data flash.
As an example, the data flash location for Manufacturer Info Block B is defined as having a
Subclass = 57 and an Offset = 32 through 63 (32 byte block). The specification of Class = System Data is
not needed to address Manufacturer Info Block B, but is used instead for grouping purposes when
viewing data flash information in the bq27500 evaluation software.
When in SEALED mode or when 0x01 BlockDataControl( ) does not contain 0x00, data flash is no longer
available in the manner used in UNSEALED mode. Rather than issuing subclass information, a
designated manufacturer information block is selected with the DataFlashBlock( ) command. Issuing a
0x01, 0x02, or 0x03 with this command causes the corresponding information block (A, B, or C,
respectively) to be transferred to the command space 0x40…0x5f for editing or reading by the system.
Upon successful writing of checksum information to BlockDataChecksum( ), the modified block is returned
to data flash. Note: Manufacturer Info Block A is read-only when in SEALED mode.
4.4 ACCESS MODES
The bq27500 provides three security modes (FULL ACCESS, UNSEALED, and SEALED) that control
data flash access permissions, according to Table 4-6. Data Flash refers to those data flash locations,
specified in Table 4-7, that are accessible to the user. Manufacture Information refers to the three 32-byte
blocks.

Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows the
bq27500 to write access-mode transition keys.
4.5 SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27500 implements a key-access scheme to transition between SEALED, UNSEALED, and
FULL-ACCESS modes. Each transition requires that a unique set of two keys be sent to the bq27500 via
the Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being written to
the Control( ) register between them. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from the codes
presented in the CNTL DATA column of Table 4-2 Control( ) subcommands.
When in SEALED mode, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set, but when the unseal keys are correctly
received by the bq27500, the [SS] bit is cleared. When the full-access keys are correctly received, then
the CONTROL_STATUS [FAS] bit is cleared.
Both the sets of keys for each level are 2 bytes each in length and are stored in data flash. The unseal
key (stored at Unseal Key 0 and Unseal Key 1) and the full-access key (stored at Full-Access Key 0
and Full-Access Key 1) can only be updated when in FULL-ACCESS mode. The order of the keys is Key
1 followed by Key 0. The order of the bytes entered through the Control( ) command is the reverse of
what is read from the part. For example, if the Key 1 and Key 0 of the Unseal Key returns 0x1234 and
0x5678, then the Control( ) should supply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 FUEL GAUGING
The bq27500 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27500 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5
mΩ to 20 mΩ typ.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge
passing through a battery, the battery’s SOC is adjusted during battery charge or discharge.
The total battery capacity is found by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with
the amount of charge passed. When an application load is applied, the impedance of the cell is measured
by comparing the 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 bq27500
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 Term Voltage.
NominalAvailableCapacity( ) and FullAvailableCapacity( ) are the uncompensated (less than C/20)
versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( ), respectively.

The bq27500 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warn when the SOC of a battery has
fallen to critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold, specified in
SOC1 Set Threshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared once
RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOC1 Clear Threshold. The bq27500 BAT_LOW pin automatically
reflects the status of the [SOC1] flag. All units are in mAh.
When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the second capacity threshold, SOCF Set Threshold, the [SOCF]
(State of Charge Final) flag is set, serving as a final discharge warning. Set SOCF Set Threshold = 0 to
deactivate the feature. Similarly, when RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOCF Clear Threshold and the
[SOCF] flag has already been set, the [SOCF] flag is cleared. All units are in mAh.
5.2 Impedance Track VARIABLES
The bq27500 has several data flash variables that permit the user to customize the Impedance Track
algorithm for optimized performance. These variables are dependent upon the power characteristics of the
application as well as the cell itself.
5.2.1 Load Mode
Load Mode is used to select either the constant-current or constant-power model for the Impedance Track
algorithm as used in Load Select (see Section 5.2.2). When Load Mode is 0, the Constant Current model
is used (default). When 1, the Constant Power model is used. The [LDMD] bit of CONTROL_STATUS
reflects the status of Load Mode.
5.2.2 Load Select
Load Select defines the type of power or current model to be used to compute load-compensated
capacity in the Impedance Track algorithm. If Load Mode = 0 (Constant-Current), then the options
presented in Table 5-1 are available.

Current Model Used
Average discharge current from previous cycle: There is an internal register that records the average discharge

5.2.3 Reserve Cap-mAh
Reserve Cap-mAh determines how much actual remaining capacity exists after reaching
0
RemainingCapacity( ), before Terminate Voltage is reached. A no-load rate of compensation is applied
to this reserve.
5.2.4 Reserve Cap-mWh
Reserve Cap-mWh determines how much actual remaining capacity exists after reaching
0
AvailableEnergy( ), before Terminate Voltage is reached. A no-load rate of compensation is applied to
this reserve capacity.
5.2.5 Dsg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27500 to determine if actual discharge
current is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is in Table 4-7, which should be
sufficient for most applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal
application load current but high enough to prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.
5.2.6 Chg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27500 to determine if actual charge
current is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is in Table 4-7, which should be
sufficient for most applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal charge
current but high enough to prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.
5.2.7 Quit Current, DSG Relax Time, CHG Relax Time, and Quit Relax Time
The Quit Current is used as part of the Impedance Track algorithm to determine when the bq27500
enters relaxation mode from a current-flowing mode in either the charge direction or the discharge
direction. The value of Quit Current is set to a default value in Table 4-7 and should be above the standby
current of the system.
Either of the following criteria must be met to enter relaxation mode:
•
•
| AverageCurrent( ) | < | Quit Current | for Dsg Relax Time
| AverageCurrent( ) | < | Quit Current | for Chg Relax Time
After about 5 minutes in relaxation mode, the bq27500 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An
additional requirement of dV/dt < 4 μV/s is required for the bq27500 to perform Qmax updates. These
updates are used in the Impedance Track algorithms. It is critical that the battery voltage be relaxed during
OCV readings and that the current not be higher than C/20 when attempting to go into relaxation mode.
Quit Relax Time specifies the minimum time required for AverageCurrent( ) to remain above the
QuitCurrent threshold before exiting relaxation mode.
5.2.8 Qmax 0 and Qmax 1
Generically called Qmax, these dynamic variables contain the respective maximum chemical capacity of
the active cell profiles, and are determined by comparing states of charge before and after applying the
load with the amount of charge passed. They also correspond to capacity at a very low rate of discharge,
such as the C/20 rate. For high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27500 during
operation. Based on the battery cell capacity information, the initial value of chemical capacity should be
entered in the Qmax n field for each default cell profile. The Impedance Track algorithm updates these
values and maintains them the associated actual cell profiles.

Bit 0 (0x01) of the Update Status n registers indicates that the bq27500 has learned new Qmax
parameters and is accurate. The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 0 is a status flag set by the bq27500.
Bit 0 should not be modified except when creating a golden image file as explained in the application note
Preparing Optimized Default Flash Constants for Specific Battery Types (SLUA334). Bit 0 is updated as
needed by the bq27500.

The bq27500 logs the current averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It stores
this average current from the previous discharge cycle in this register. This register should not be
modified. It is only updated by the bq27500 when required.
5.2.11 Avg P Last Run
The bq27500 logs the power averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It stores
this average power from the previous discharge cycle in this register. To get a correct average power
reading, the bq27500 continuously multiplies instantaneous current times Voltage( ) to get power. It then
logs this data to derive the average power. This register should not be modified. It is only updated by the
bq27500 when required.
5.2.12 Delta Voltage
The bq27500 stores the maximum difference of Voltage( ) during short load spikes and normal load, so
the Impedance Track algorithm can calculate remaining capacity for pulsed loads. It is not recommended
to change this value.
5.2.13 Batt Insert Delay, Sleep Insert Delay
The Batt Insert Delay setting delays the bq27500 detection process after battery insertion. Sleep Insert
Delay specifies the delay before the gauge enters SLEEP mode after battery insertion. For proper
operation, set Sleep Insert Delay greater than Batt Insert Delay. For example, with Batt Insert Delay =
10 s (10,000 ms) and Sleep Insert Delay = 15 s, the bq27500 does not enter SLEEP mode before
5 seconds after the battery detection.
5.2.14 Default Ra and Ra Tables
These tables contain encoded data and, with the exception of the Default Ra Tables, are automatically
updated during device operation. No user changes should be made except for reading/writing the values
from a pre-learned pack (part of the process for creating golden image files).
5.3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DEDICATED PINS
5.3.1 The Operation Configuration Register
Some bq27500 pins are configured via the Operation Configuration data flash register, as indicated in
Table 5-3. This register is programmed/read via the methods described in Section 4.2.1, Accessing the
Data Flash. The register is located at subclass = 64, offset = 0.

TEMPS = Selects external thermistor for Temperature( ) measurements. True when set. Default is 1.
5.3.2 Pin Function Code Descriptions
The bq27500 has four pin-function variations that can be selected in accordance with the circuit
architecture of the end application. Each variation has been assigned a pin function code, or PFC.
When the PFC is set to 0, only the bq27500 measures battery temperature under discharge and relaxation
conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27500 about the temperature
readings, and therefore operates open-loop with respect to battery temperature. When PFC = 0, the
BAT_GD pin is in a high-impedance state.
A PFC of 1 is like a PFC of 0, except temperature is also monitored during battery charging. If charging
temperature falls outside of the preset range defined in data flash, a charger can be disabled via the
BAT_GD pin until cell temperature recovers. See Section 5.6.2, Charge Inhibit, for additional details.
When the PFC is set to 2, the battery thermistor can be shared between the fuel gauge and the charger.
The charger has full use of the thermistor during battery charging. The fuel gauge uses the thermistor
exclusively during discharge and battery relaxation. When PFC = 2, the BAT_GD pin is in a
high-impedance state.
When PFC = 3, the BAT_GD pin state relation to [CHG_INH], [XCHG] is exactly same as the setting for
PFC = 1 except that the BAT_GD pin is negated if the [FC] bit is set, and BAT_GD is asserted if the [FC]
bit is clear.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.
5.3.3 BAT_LOW Pin
The BAT_LOW pin provides a system processor with an electrical indicator of battery status. The behavior
and polarity of the BAT_LOW pin are configured, respectively, by the [BATL_CTL] and [BATL_POL] bits
of the Operation Configuration register.
When the [BATL_CTL] bit is set, signaling on the BAT_LOW pin follows the [SOC1] bit in the Flags( )
register when the battery voltage is lower than BAT_LOW Enable Voltage. If the battery voltage is higher
than BAT_LOW Enable Voltage, the BAT_LOW pin is negated and the [SOC1] bit has no control of the
BAT_LOW pin.

www.ti.com
When the [BATL_CTL] bit is clear, signaling on the BAT_LOW pin is controlled by various factors. If the
[BAT_DET] is clear, the BAT_LOW pin is always inactive. If the [BAT_DET] bit is set and the
BATL_ENABLE subcommand is issued, the BAT_LOW pin is asserted provided the [SOC1] bit is already
set or the battery voltage has already reached the Terminate Voltage before issuing the BATL_ENABLE
subcommand. If the [BAT_DET] bit is set and the BATL_DISABLE subcommand is issued, the BAT_LOW
pin is set inactive.
5.3.4 Power Path Control With the BAT_GD Pin
The bq27500 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargers
or other ICs and application circuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into the
system, there should be no charging or discharging current higher than C/20, so that an accurate OCV
can be read. The OCV is used for helping determine which battery profile to use, as it constitutes part of
the battery impedance measurement.
When a battery is inserted into a system, the Impedance Track algorithm requires that no charging of the
battery takes place and that any discharge is limited to less than C/20—these conditions are sufficient for
the fuel gauge to take an accurate OCV reading. To disable these functions, the BAT_GD pin is merely
set negated from the default setting. Once an OCV reading has be made, the BAT_GD pin is asserted,
thereby enabling battery charging and regular discharge of the battery. The Operation Configuration
[BATG_POL] bit can be used to set the polarity of the battery-good signal, should the default
configuration need to be changed.
When PFC is equal to 1 or 3, the BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging as described in
Section 5.3.2.
5.3.5 Battery Detection Using the BI/TOUT Pin
During power-up or hibernate activities, or any other activity where the bq27500 must determine whether a
battery is connected or not, the fuel gauge applies a test for battery presence. First, the BI/TOUT pin is put
into high-Z status. The weak 1.8-MΩ pullup resistor keeps the pin high while no battery is present. When a
battery is inserted (or is already inserted) into the system device, the BI/TOUT pin is pulled low. This state
is detected by the fuel gauge, which polls this pin every second when the gauge has power. A battery
disconnected status is assumed when the bq27500 reads a thermistor voltage that is near 2.5 V.
5.4 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The bq27500 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperature status
information to the fuel gauging algorithm and charger-control sections of the gauge. Alternatively, it can
also measure internal temperature via its on-chip temperature sensor, but only if the [TEMPS] bit of the
Operation Configuration register is cleared.
Regardless of which sensor is used for measurement, a system processor can request the present battery
temperature by calling the Temperature( ) function (see Section 4.1.1, Standard Data Commands, for
specific information).
The bq27500 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high-accuracy negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0 kΩ ± 1% and B25/85 = 3435 K ± 1% (such as
Semitec NTC 103AT). The bq27500 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. When
an external thermistor is used, an 18.2-kΩ pullup resistor between the BI/TOUT and TS pins is also
required. Additional circuit information for connecting this thermistor to the bq27500 is shown in Section 8,
Reference Schematic.

5.5 OVERTEMPERATURE INDICATION
5.5.1 Overtemperature: Charge
If during charging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Chg for a period of OT Chg Time and
AverageCurrent( ) > Chg Current Threshold, then the [OTC] bit of Flags( ) is set. When Temperature( )
falls to OT Chg Recovery, the [OTC] of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Chg Time = 0, then the feature is completely disabled.
5.5.2 Overtemperature: Discharge
If during discharging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Dsg for a period of OT Dsg Time, and
AverageCurrent( ) ≤ –Dsg Current Threshold, then the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is set. When Temperature( )
falls to OT Dsg Recovery, the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Dsg Time = 0, then feature is completely disabled.
5.6 CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATION
5.6.1 Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27500 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default value
for this variable is Charging Voltage = 4200 mV.
The bq27500 detects charge termination when (1) during two consecutive periods of Current Taper
Window, the AverageCurrent( ) is < Taper Current, (2) during the same periods, the accumulated change
in capacity > 0.25 mAh/Current Taper Window, and (3) Voltage( ) > Charging Voltage – Taper Voltage.
When this occurs, the [CHG] bit of Flags( ) is cleared. Also, if the [RMFCC] bit of Operation
Configuration is set, then RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
5.6.2 Charge Inhibit and Suspend
When PFC = 1, the bq27500 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above
predefined thresholds (Suspend Temp Low and Suspend Temp High, respectively). In this mode, the
BAT_GD line is made high to indicate this condition, then returned to its low state once battery
temperature returns to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High –
Temp Hys]. In this mode, the [XCHG] bit is set to indicate this condition. The [XCHG] bit is cleared once
the battery temperature returns to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit
Temp High – Temp Hys]. The BAT_GD pin is negated once the [XCHG] bit is set.
The charging should not start when the temperature is below Charge Inhibit Temp Low or above Charge
Inhibit Temp High. The BAT_GD pin is negated once the temperature reaches Charge Inhibit Temp
Low or the Charge Inhibit Temp High AND the charge current is lower than the CHG Current Threshold.
However, the charging can continue and the BAT_GD remains asserted if the charging starts inside the
window [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High] AND the charge current is higher than
the CHG Current Threshold until the temperature is either below Suspend Low Temp or above Suspend
High Temp. Therefore, the window [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High] must be
inside the window of [Suspend Temp Low, Suspend Temp High]. The [XCHG] bit is set and the
BAT_GD pin is negated.
When PFC = 3, the bq27500 performs exactly the same as the case for PFC = 1 with one different point.
BAT_GD is decoupled from the [FC] bit for PFC = 1, whereas the BAT_GD pin is negated when the [FC]
bit is set if PFC = 3.
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27500 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27500 samples the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.

5.7 POWER MODES
The bq27500 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. In
NORMAL mode, the bq27500 is fully powered and can execute any allowable task. In SLEEP mode, the
fuel gauge exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations.
In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in its lowest power state, but can be woken up by communication
activity or certain I/O activity. Finally, the BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-power
halted state, used by the bq27500 when no battery is inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.7.1 BAT-INSERT-CHECK MODE
This mode is a halted-CPU state that occurs when an adapter or other power source is present to power
the bq27500 (and system), yet no battery has been detected. When battery insertion is detected, a series
of initialization activities begins, which includes: OCV measurement, asserting the BAT_GD pin, and
selecting the appropriate battery profiles. The initialization time is less than 2 seconds.
Some commands issued by a system processor can be processed while the bq27500 is halted in this
mode. The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting battery
insertion.

The fuel gauge is in NORMAL mode when not in any other power mode. During this mode,
AverageCurrent( ), Voltage( ), and Temperature( ) measurements are taken, and the interface data set is
updated. Decisions to change states are also made. This mode is exited by activating a different power
mode.
Because the gauge consumes the most power in NORMAL mode, the Impedance Track algorithm
minimizes the time the fuel gauge remains in this mode.

5.7.3 SLEEP+ MODE
Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high-frequency oscillator in operation. The
communication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ is entered automatically if the feature is enabled
(Operation Configuration [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep
Current.
During SLEEP+ mode, the bq27500 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition. The bq27500 exits SLEEP+ if any entry
condition is broken, specifically when (1) any communication activity with the gauge occurs, (2)
AverageCurrent( ) rises above Sleep Current, or (3) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is
detected.
5.7.4 SLEEP MODE
SLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Operation Configuration [SLEEP] = 1)
and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep Current. Once entry into SLEEP mode has
been qualified, but prior to entering it, the bq27500 performs a Coulomb Counter autocalibration to
minimize offset if the timing condition required by the algorithm is met.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27500 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27500 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) AverageCurrent( ) rises
above Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering the
gauge), Impedance Track updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checks for
battery insertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track algorithm.
While in SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge can suspend serial communications as much as 4ms by holding the
SCL line low. This delay is necessary to process host communication correctly, because the fuel gauge
processor is mostly halted while in SLEEP mode.
5.7.5 HIBERNATE MODE
HIBERNATE mode should be used when the system equipment needs to enter a low-power state, and
minimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when a system equipment is set to its
own HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF mode.
The fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE due to either low cell voltage or low load current.
•
HIBERNATE due to the cell voltage. When the cell voltage drops below the Hibernate Voltage and a
valid OCV measurement has been taken, the fuel gauge enters HIBERNATE mode. The [HIBERNATE]
bit of the CONTROL register has no impact for the fuel gauge to enter the HIBERNATE mode.
•
HIBERNATE due to the load current. If the load current drops to a certain level, the fuel gauge should
also enter low-power mode. When the fuel gauge enters the HIBERNATE mode due to the load
current, the [HIBERNATE] bit of the CONTROL_STATUS register must be set. The gauge waits to
enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV measurement and the magnitude of the
average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The gauge remains in HIBERNATE mode
until the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge or a POR occurs. I2C communication that is
not directed to the gauge does not wake the gauge.
During the HIBERNATE mode, the BAT_GD is negated (no battery charging/discharging). This
prevents a charger application from inadvertently charging the battery before an OCV reading can be
taken. It is the system’s responsibility to wake the bq27500 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode.
After waking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile
selection, etc.)

5.8 POWER CONTROL
5.8.1 RESET FUNCTIONS
When the bq27500 detects that the [RESET] bit of Control( ) has been set, it increments the
corresponding counter. This information is accessible by issuing the command Control( ) function with the
RESET_DATA subcommand.
5.8.2 WAKE-UP COMPARATOR
The wake-up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27500 is in either SLEEP
or HIBERNATE mode. Operation Configuration uses bits [RSNS1–RSNS0] to set the sense resistor
selection. Operation Configuration also uses the [IWAKE] bit to select one of two possible voltage
threshold ranges for the given sense resistor selection. An internal interrupt is generated when the
threshold is reached in either the charge or discharge direction. Setting both [RSNS1] and [RSNS0] to 0
disables this feature.

threshold when calculating the configuration. The voltage thresholds are typical values under room
temperature.
(2) The Vth threshold voltages are approximate values only as they are established by analog
comparators.
5.8.3 FLASH UPDATES
Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage( ) ≥ Flash Update OK Voltage. Flash programming current can
cause an increase in LDO dropout. The value of Flash Update OK Voltage should be selected such that
the bq27500 VCC voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
5.9 AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27500 provides an autocalibration feature that measures the voltage offset error across SRP and
SRN as operating conditions change. It subtracts the resulting offset error from normal sense resistor
voltage, VSR, for maximum measurement accuracy.
Autocalibration of the Coulomb Counter begins on entry to SLEEP mode when the timing condition
required by the algorithm is met, except if Temperature( ) is ≤ 5°C or Temperature( ) ≥ 45°C.
The fuel gauge also performs a single offset when (1) the condition of AverageCurrent( ) ≤ 100 mA and (2)
{voltage change since last offset calibration ≥ 256 mV} or {temperature change since last offset calibration
is greater than 8°C for ≥ 60 s}.
Capacity and current measurements continue at the last measured rate during the offset calibration when
these measurements cannot be performed. If the battery voltage drops more than 32 mV during the offset
calibration, the load current has likely increased considerably; hence, the offset calibration is aborted.

6 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
6.1 BATTERY PROFILE STORAGE AND SELECTION
6.1.1 Common Profile Aspects
When a battery pack is removed from host equipment that implements the bq27500, the fuel gauge
maintains some of the battery information in case the battery is re-inserted. This way, the Impedance
Track algorithm has a means of recovering battery-status information, thereby maintaining good
state-of-charge (SOC) estimates.
Two default battery profiles are available to store battery information. They are used to provide the
Impedance Track algorithm with the default information on two possible battery types expected to be used
with the end-equipment. These default profiles can be used to support batteries of different chemistry,
same chemistry but different capacities, or same chemistry but different models. Default profiles are
programmed by the end-equipment manufacturer. However, only one of the default profiles can be
selected, and this selection cannot be changed during end-equipment operation.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27500 maintains two other profiles, PACK0 and PACK1. These
tables hold dynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent batteries
used. In most cases, the bq27500 can manage the information on two removable battery packs.
6.1.2 Activities Upon Pack Insertion
6.1.2.1 First OCV and Impedance Measurement
At power up, the BAT_GD pin is inactive, so that the host cannot obtain power from the battery (this
depends on the actual implementation). In this state, the battery is put in an open-circuit condition. Next,
the bq27500 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. From the OCV(SOC) table, the
SOC of the inserted battery is found. Then the BAT_GD pin is made active, and the impedance of the
inserted battery is calculated from the measured voltage and the load current:
Z(SOC) = [OCV(SOC) – V] / I. This impedance is compared with the impedance of the dynamic profiles,
Packn, and the default profiles, Defn, for the same SOC (the letter n depicts either a 0 or 1).
6.1.3 Reading Application Status
The Application Status data flash location contains cell profile status information, and can be read using
the ApplicationStatus( ) extended command (0x6a). The bit configuration of this function/location is shown
in Table 6-1.

6.2 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FLOW AND CONTROL
6.2.1 Simple Battery
The bq27500 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1
profiles. The Defn and Packn profiles are the same on the first gauge start-up. Then the Impedance Track
algorithm begins fuel gauging, regularly updating Packn as the battery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27500 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell
impedance is measured after battery detection (see Section 6.1.2.1, First OCV and Impedance
Measurement). The bq27500 chooses the profile which is closest to the measured impedance, starting

with the Packn profiles. That is, if the measured impedance matches Pack0, then the Pack0 profile is
used. If the measured impedance matches Pack1, then the Pack1 profile is used. If the measured
impedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack0 or Pack1, the battery pack is deemed
new (none of the previously used packs). The Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack0 or Pack1
profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile used.
7 COMMUNICATIONS
7.1 I2C INTERFACE
The bq27500 supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, quick read, 1-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 8-bit device address is, therefore, 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

(e) incremental write
(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, increments whenever data is acknowledged by the
bq27500 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 2-byte commands that require 2 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):
7.2 I2C TIME OUT
The I2C engine releases both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for about 2 seconds. If the bq27500
was holding the lines, releasing them frees the master to drive the lines. If an external condition is holding
either of the lines low, the I2C engine enters the low-power sleep mode.
7.3 I2C COMMAND WAITING TIME
To make sure the correct results of a command with the 400-kHz I2C operation, a proper waiting time
should be added between issuing the command and reading results. For subcommands, the following
diagram shows the waiting time required between issuing the subcommand and reading the results, with

the exception of checksum and OCV commands. A 100-ms waiting time is required between the
checksum command and reading the result. For read-write standard commands, 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.
If the Operation Configuration [I2C_NACK] bit is not set, the I2C clock stretch could happen in a typical
application. A maximum 80-ms clock stretch could be observed during the flash updates.
