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.

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27520-G3 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 time-to-empty (TTE), time-to-full (TTF) 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-G3’s I2C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development,
pack manufacture, or end-equipment 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-G3’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 bq27520-G3 provides a 32-byte user-programmable data flash Manufacturer Info Block. This data
space is accessed through a data flash interface. For specifics on accessing the data flash, see Section
4.3: MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCK.
The key to thebq27520-G3’s high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instrument’s 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 device 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’s Vss and the battery’s PACK- terminal.
When a cell is attached to the device, cell impedance is computed, 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 = 10.0kΩ ±1%. B25/85 = 3435K ± 1% (such as Semitec
NTC 103AT). Alternatively, the bq27520-G3 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 BT/TOUT and TS pins is also required. The bq27520-G3 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-G3 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 see Section 5.7: POWER MODES.

DATA COMMANDS
4.1.1
STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
Thebq27520-G3 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 of
Communication. Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation. Read/Write permissions
depend on the active access mode, SEALED or UNSEALED (for details on the SEALED and UNSEALED
states, see Section 4.4 , Access Modes.)

4.1.1.1.7 BAT_INSERT: 0X000D
This command is to force the BAT_DET bit to be set when the battery insertion detection is disabled
(BIE=0). When the BIE is set to 0, the battery insertion detection is disabled. The gauge relies on the host
to inform it of the battery insertion with this command to set the BAT_DET bit. Alternatively, battery
insertion can be detected by the gauge by using the external thermistor network when BIE is set to 1.
4.1.1.1.8 BAT_REMOVE: 0X000E
This command is to force the BAT_DET bit to be clear when the battery insertion detection is disabled.
When the BIE is set to 0, the battery insertion detection is disabled. The gauge relies on the host to inform
if of the battery removal with this command to clear the BAT_DET bit.
4.1.1.1.9 SET_HIBERNATE: 0x0011
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 1. This will allow the gauge
to enter the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to SLEEP power state is detected and required
conditions are met. The [HIBERNATE] bit is automatically cleared upon exiting from HIBERNATE mode.
4.1.1.1.10 CLEAR_HIBERNATE: 0x0012
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 0. This prevents the gauge
from entering the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to the SLEEP power state is detected. It
can also be used to force the gauge out of HIBERNATE mode.
4.1.1.1.11 ENABLE SLEEP+ MODE: 0X0013
Instructs the fuel gauge to set the CONTROL_STATUS [SNOOZE] bit to 1. This will enable the SLEEP+
mode. The gauge will enter SLEEP+ power mode after the transition conditions are meet.
4.1.1.1.12 DISABLE SLEEP+ MODE: 0X0014
Instructs the fuel gauge to set the CONTROL_STATUS [SNOOZE] bit to 0. This will disable the SLEEP+
mode. The gauge will exit from the SLEEP+ power mode after the SNOOZE bit is cleared.
4.1.1.1.13 FACTORY RESTORE: 0X0015
Instructs the fuel gauge to reset learned resistance tables and Qmax values to the default values. If
Operation Configuration B [INDFACRES] is set, SOC_INT is asserted while the restore is in progress.
This command is only available when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.1.14 ENABLE_DLOG: 0x0018
Commands the fuel gauge to set the CONTROL_STATUS[DLOGEN] bit to 1, clear the data FIFO, and
begin recording coulomb counter data logging. While in Data Logging Mode, the device will not enter
Sleep mode.
4.1.1.1.15 DISABLE_DLOG: 0x0019
Commands the fuel gauge to clear the CONTROL_STATUS[DLOGEN] bit to 0 and stop recording
coulomb counter data. The previous data stored in the FIFO is not cleared.
4.1.1.1.16 DF_VERSION: 0x001F
Instructs the fuel gauge to return the 16-bit data flash revision code to addresses 0x00/0x01. The code is
stored in Data Flash Version and provides a simple method for the customer to control data flash
revisions. The default DF_VERSION is 0x0000 as configured in data flash.

4.1.1.1.18 IT_ENABLE: 0x0021
This command forces the fuel gauge to begin the Impedance Track™ algorithm, sets the IT Enable 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. This command is only available when the fuel
gauge is UNSEALED and is typically enabled at the last step of production after system test is completed.
4.1.1.1.19 IT_DISABLE: 0x0023
This command disables the fuel gauge the Impedance Track™ algorithm, clears the IT Enable to 0x00
and causes the [QEN] flags to be cleared in the CONTROL_STATUS register. This command is only
available when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.1.20 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-word 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-word 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-/write-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the temperature in units of 0.1 K
measured by the fuel gauge. If [WRTEMP] bit = 1, a write command sets the temperature to be used for
gauging calculations while a read command returns to temperature previously written. If [WRTEMP] bit = 0
and [TEMPS] bit = 0, a read command will return the internal temperature sensor value.
4.1.1.5
Voltage( ): 0x08/0x09
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the measured cell-pack voltage in mV with a
range of 0 to 6000 mV.
4.1.1.6
Flags( ): 0x0a/0x0b
This read-word function returns the contents of the fuel-gauge status register, depicting the current
operating status.

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 remaining battery capacity which is compensated for the present
conditions of load, temperature and battery age. RemainingCapacity( ) is typically lower than the
uncompensated NominalAvailableCapacity( ). Units are mAh.
4.1.1.10
FullChargeCapacity( ): 0x12/13
This read-only command pair returns the capacity of the battery when fully charged with compensation for
the present conditions of temperature and battery age. FullChargeCapacity( ) is updated at regular
intervals, as specified by the IT algorithm typically lower than the uncompensated
FullAvailableCapacity( ) . Units are mAh.

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, and after spending several seconds in standby, reports the measured
standby current.
The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband and is
less than or equal to 2 × Initial Standby. The first and last values that meet this criteria are not averaged
in, since they may not be stable values. To approximate a 1 minute time constant, each new
StandbyCurrent( ) value is computed by taking approximate 93% weight of the last standby current and
approximate 7% of the current 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 an 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 StateofHealth( ): 0x28/0x29
0x28 SOH percentage: this read-only function returns an unsigned integer value, expressed as a
percentage of the ratio of predicted FCC(25°C, SOH LoadI) over the DesignCapacity(). The FCC(25°C,
SOH LoadI) is the calculated full charge capacity at 25°C and the SOH LoadI which is specified in the
data flash. The range of the returned SOH percentage is 0x00 to 0x64, indicating 0 to 100%
correspondingly.
0x29 SOH Status: this read-only function returns an unsigned integer value, indicating the status of the
SOH percentage. The meanings of the returned value are:
• 0x00: SOH not valid before initialization
• 0x01: Instant SOH value ready
• 0x02: Initial SOH value ready. The calculation is based on uncompensated Qmax and is updated at
first grid point during discharger after cell insertion.
• 0x03: SOH value ready. The calculation is based on updated compensated Qmax value. The updated
Qmax value is measured after charge/relaxation or Fast Qmax onditions are met.
• 0x04-0xFF: Reserved
4.1.1.22
CycleCount( ): 0x2a/0x2b
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the number of cycles that the active cell has
experienced with a range of 0 to 65535. One cycle occurs when accumulated discharge ≥ CC Threshold.
The gauge maintains a separate cycle counter for both cell profiles and will reset to zero if the insertion of
a new pack has been detected.
4.1.1.23
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%.
4.1.1.24 NormalizedImpedanceCal( ): 0x2e/0x2f
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the calculated normalized impedance to 0°C
at the current Depth of Discharge, with the unit of mΩ.
4.1.1.25 InstantaneousCurrent Reading( ) 0x30/0x31
This read-only function returns a signed integer value that is the instantaneous current flow through the
sense resistor. The conversion time is 125ms. It is updated every 1 second. Units are mA.
4.1.1.26 DataLogIndex( ): 0x32/0x33
In Data Logging Mode, this read-only register returns an unsigned integer that increments for every new
coulomb counter sample placed in the data FIFO and decrements for each sample read by the host from
DataLogBuffer(). The index saturates at 30 counts to prevent rollover of the FIFO and subsequent data
samples are discarded. Data logging is controlled by the ENABLE_DLOG and DISABLE_DLOG
subcommands while status is provided by the CONTROL_STATUS[DLOGEN] bit.
4.1.1.27 DataLogBuffer( ): 0x34/0x35
In Data Logging Mode, this read-only register returns a 16-bit signed coulomb counter value in mA.
Access to data is provided by a 30 sample FIFO with the number of samples available from
DataLogIndex(). If the FIFO is empty, this value returned is 0x7FFF.
4.1.1.28 InternalTemperature( ): 0x36/0x37
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the internal temperature sensor in units of 0.1
K measured by the fuel gauge. This function can be useful as an additional system-level temperature
monitor if the main Temperature(
) function is configured for external or host reported temperature.

4.1.2.1
DesignCapacity( ): 0x3c/0x3d
SEALED and UNSEALED Access: This command returns the value 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 except for the calculation of StateOfHealth().
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 0x01 or 0x02 instructs the BlockData( ) command to transfer the Manufacturer Info
Block. All other DataFlashBlock( ) values are reserved.
4.1.2.4
BlockData( ): 0x40…0x5f
UNSEALED Access: This data block is the remainder of the 32 byte data block when accessing data
flash.
SEALED Access: This data block is the remainder of the 32 byte data block when accessing

DATA FLASH INTERFACE
ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH
The bq27520-G3 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27520-G3 initialization, default, cell
status, calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different
ways, depending on what mode the bq27520-G3 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 bq27520-G3 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27520-G3
evaluation software or by data flash block transfers. These locations should 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 they can be read to the system or changed directly.
This is accomplished by sending the set-up 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 will be larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the
DataFlashBlock( ) command is used to designate which 32-byte block the desired locations reside in. The
correct command address is then given by 0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Terminate
Voltage in the Gas Gauging class, DataFlashClass( ) is issued 80 (0x50) to set the class. Because the
offset is 45, 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 + 45 modulo 32 =
0x40 + 13 = 0x40 + 0x0d = 0x4d.

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 bq27520-G3 – 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 BLOCK
The bq27520-G3 contains 32 bytes of user programmable data flash storage called the Manufacturer
Info Block. The method for accessing these memory locations is slightly different, depending on whether
the device is in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
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.
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 or 0x02 with this command causes the corresponding information block 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: The
Manufacturer Info Block is read-only when in SEALED mode.
4.4
ACCESS MODES
The bq27520-G3 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.

Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows the
bq27520-G3 to write access-mode transition keys.
4.5
SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27520-G3 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 bq27520-G3
via the Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being written
to the Control( ) register in between. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from the codes
presented in the CNTL DATA column of Table 4-2 subcommands.
When in SEALED mode, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set, but when the UNSEAL keys are
correctly received by the bq27520-G3, 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 Keys returns 0x1234 and
0x5678, then the Control( ) should supply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1
FUEL GAUGING
The bq27520-G3 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27520-G3 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 the 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
bq27520-G3 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-G3 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warns when the battery’s SOC 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 Set Threshold. The bq27520-G3’s BAT_LOW pin automatically
reflects the status of the [SOC1] flag. This flag is enabled when BL_INT bit in Operation Configuration B
is set. All units are in mAh.

When Voltage( ) falls below the system shut down threshold voltage, SysDown Set Volt Threshold, the
[SYSDOWN] flag is set, serving as a final warning to shut down the system. The SOC_INT also signals.
When Voltage( ) rises above SysDown Clear Voltage and the [SYSDOWN] flag has already been set,
the [SYSDOWN] flag is cleared. The SOC_INT also signals such change. All units are in mV.
When the voltage is discharged to Final Voltage, the SOC will be set as 0.
5.2
IMPEDANCE TRACK™ VARIABLES
The bq27520-G3 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 Load Select). 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.
Table 5-1. Constant-Current Model Used When Load Mode = 0
LoadSelect Value
0
1(default)
Current Model Used
Average discharge current from previous cycle: There is an internal register that records the average discharge
current through each entire discharge cycle. The previous average is stored in this register.
Present average discharge current: This is the average discharge current from the beginning of this discharge cycle
until present time.
2
Average current: based on AverageCurrent( )
3
Current: based off of a low-pass-filtered version of AverageCurrent( ) (τ =14 s)
4
Design capacity / 5: C Rate based off of Design Capacity /5 or a C/5 rate in mA.
5
AtRate (mA): Use whatever current is in AtRate( )
6
User_Rate-mA: Use the value in User_Rate-mA. This mode provides a completely user-configurable method.
If Load Mode = 1 (Constant Power) then the following options shown in Table 5-2 are available

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 bq27520-G3 to determine if significant
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 bq27520-G3 to determine if significant
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 bq27520-G3
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 bq27520-G3 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An
additional requirement of dV/dt < 1 μV/s is required for the 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 to and that the current is 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 Dsg or
Chg Current Thresholdbefore exiting relaxation mode.

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 low rate of discharge, such
as the C/20 rate. For high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27520-G3 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 the associated actual cell profiles.
5.2.9
Update Status 0 and Update Status 1
Bit 0 (0x01) of the Update Status n registers is updated as needed by the bq27520-G3 to indicate that
new Qmax parameters have been learned. The Update Status n registers are modified automatically by
the bq27520-G3 and TI's evaluation software during the process of creating a golden Data Flash file. The
remaining bits are reserved.
5.2.10 Avg I Last Run
The bq27520-G3 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 bq27520-G3 when required.
5.2.11 Avg P Last Run
The bq27520-G3 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 bq27520-G3 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 bq27520-G3 when required.
5.2.12 Delta Voltage
The bq27520-G3 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 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).

Pin Function Code Descriptions
The bq27520-G3 has three possible 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 bq27520-G3 measures battery temperature under discharge and
relaxation conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27520-G3 about the
temperature readings, and therefore operates open-loop with respect to battery temperature.
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 and Suspend, for additional
details.
Finally when the PFC is set to 2, the battery thermistor can be shared between the fuel gauge and the
charger. The charger has full usage of the thermistor during battery charging, while the fuel gauge uses
the thermistor exclusively during discharge and battery relaxation.
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27520-G3 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27520-G3 samples the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode. Note: Due to
thermistor sharing limitations, temperature data is not available during battery charging with PFC = 2.
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 signaling
on the BAT_LOW pin follows the status of the [SOC1] bit in the Flags( ) register. Note that the polarity of
the BAT_LOW pin can be inverted via the [BATL_POL] bit of Operation Configuration.
5.3.4
Power Path Control With the BAT_GD Pin
The bq27520-G3 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, it is preferable that there should be no charging current 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 and to determine intial SOC.
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
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.

as NORMAL vs. SLEEP modes.
In PFC 1, the BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27520-G3 reads battery
temperatures outside the range defined by [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High]. The
BAT_GD line is asserted once temperature falls within the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp
Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].
5.3.5
Battery Detection Using the BI/TOUT Pin
During power-up or hibernate activities, or any other activity where the bq27520-G3 needs to 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 1.8MΩ pull-up resistor will keep 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 will be 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 bq27520-G3 reads a thermistor
voltage that is near 2.5V.

When a thermistor is not used by the system for the gauge to detect battery insertion there are two
options. First, the BI/TOUT pin can be tied to VSS with a resistor so the gauge will always consider a
battery to be present if it has power. Second, the [BIE] bit can be cleared and the host can use the
BAT_INSERT and BAT_REMOVE commands to inform the gauge of the battery status.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The bq27520-G3 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. The [GNDSEL] bit of Operation Configuration B register
selects the ground reference of the ADC converter for temperature measurement. A third option is
enabled if the [WRTEMP] bit of Operation Configuration B is set. This allows a host processor to write the
temperature measurement directly to the bq27520-G3 instead of the gauge making its own temperature
measurements.
Regardless of which sensor is used for measurement, a system processor can request the current battery
temperature by calling the Temperature( ) function (see Section 4.1.1, Standard Data Commands, for
specific information).
The thermistor circuit requires the use of an external NTC 103AT-type thermistor. Additional circuit
information for connecting this thermistor to the bq27520-G3 is shown in Section 8, Reference Schematic.

5.5.1
OVERTEMPERATURE INDICATION
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
5.6.1
CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATION
Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27520-G3 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default
value for this variable is Charging Voltage Table 4-7.
The bq27520-G3 detects charge termination when (1) during 2 consecutive periods of Current Taper
Window, the AverageCurrent(
) is < Taper Current, (2) during the same periods, the accumulated
change in capacity > Min Taper Capacity /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
The bq27520-G3 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above predefined
thresholds Charge Inhibit Temp Low or Charge Inhibit Temp High, respectively. In this mode, the
[CHG_INT] bit is set and the BAT_GD pin is deserted to indicate this condition. The [CHG_INT] bit is
cleared and the BAT_GD pin is asserted once the battery temperature returns to the range [Charge
Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].

When PFC = 1, the bq27520-G3 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above
predefined thresholds Suspend Low Temp or Suspend High Temp, respectively. 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 charging should not start when the temperature is below the Charge Inhibit Temp Low or above the
Charge Inhibit Temp High. The charging can continue if the charging starts inside the window [Charge
Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High] until the temperature is either below Suspend Low Temp or
above the Suspend Low Temp. Therefore, the window [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp
High] must be inside the window of [Suspend Low Temp, Suspend High Temp].
5.7
POWER MODES
The bq27520-G3 has different power modes: BAT INSERT CHECK, NORMAL, SLEEP+, SLEEP and
HIBERNATE. In NORMAL mode, the bq27520-G3 is fully powered and can execute any allowable task. In
SLEEP+ mode, both low frequency and high frequency oscillators are active. Although the SLEEP+ has
higher current consumption than the SLEEP mode, it is also a reduced power mode. In SLEEP mode, the
fuel gauge turns off the high frequency oscillator and exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking
measurements and performing calculations. In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in a low power state,
but can be woken up by communication or certain I/O activity. Finally, the BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a
powered-up, but low-power halted, state, where the bq27520-G3 resides 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 bq27520-G3 (and system), yet no battery has been detected. Depending on the setting of the [BIE] bit
in the Operation Configuration B dataflash register, the bq27520-G3 will detect battery insertion either
through use of the thermistor network and BI/TOUT pin, or the host can use the BAT_INSERT and
BAT_REMOVE commands to inform the battery presence status. When battery insertion is detected, a
series of initialization activities begin, which include: OCV measurement, setting the BAT_GD pin, and
selecting the appropriate battery profiles.
Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the bq27520-G3 is halted in this
mode. The gauge will wake up to process the command, then return to the halted state awaiting battery
insertion.
5.7.2
NORMAL MODE
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
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 bq27520-G3 performs an coulomb counter autocalibration to
minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27520-G3 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.

The bq27520-G3 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.
5.7.4
SLEEP+ MODE
Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high frequency oscillator in operation. The
communication delay associated with waking from SLEEP mode is therefore eliminated since the HFO is
not turned off in SLEEP+ mode.. The SLEEP+ is entered automatically if the feature is enabled
(CONTROL STATUS [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep
Current.
During SLEEP+ mode, the bq27520-G3 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27520-G3 exits SLEEP+ if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) any communication
activity with the gauge, or (2) AverageCurrent( ) rises above Sleep Current, or (3) a current in excess of
IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
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 modes.
Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the [HIBERNATE] bit of the
CONTROL_STATUS register. 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 can also enter HIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage and a valid
OCV measurement has been taken. The gauge will remain 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
will not wake the gauge.
It is important that BAT_GD be de-asserted status status (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 bq27520-G3 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking,
the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)

POWER CONTROL
WAKE-UP COMPARATOR
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27520-G3 is in SLEEP
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
breached in either the charge or discharge direction. Setting both [RSNS1] and [RSNS0] to 0 disables this
feature.

The actual resistance value vs the setting of the sense resistor is not important, just the actual voltage
threshold when calculating the configuration. The voltage thresholds are typical values under room
temperature.
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 bq27520-G3 VCC voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
5.9
AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27520-G3 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, 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; hence, the offset calibration is aborted.

6 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
6.1
BATTERY PROFILE STORAGE AND SELECTION
6.1.1
Common Profile Aspects
The bq27520-G3 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1
profiles. When a battery pack is inserted for the first time, the default profile is copied into the Packn
profiles. Then the Impedance Track™ algorithm begins gas gauging, regularly updating Packn as the
battery is used.
In addition to the default profiles, the fuel gauge maintains two 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 fuel gauge can manage the information on two removable battery packs. When a battery
pack is removed from host equipment, the bq27520-G3 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.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27520-G3 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell
impedance is measured immediately after battery detection (see Section 6.1.2.1., First OCV and
Impedance Measurement). The bq27520-G3 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). Either Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack0
or Pack1 profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile.
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 system might not obtain power from the battery (this
depends on actual implementation). In this state, the battery should be put in a condition with load current
less than C/20. Next, the bq27520-G3 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. The
[OCVCMDCOMP] bit will set once the OCV measurement is completed. Depending on the load current,
the [OCVFAIL] bit indicates whether the OCV reading is valid. 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).The [INITCOMP] bit will be set afterwards and the
OCV command could be issued
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

I2C Time Out
The I2C engine will release both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for the time defined by I2C
Timeout times 0.5 second. If the bq27520-G3 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.
7.3
I2C Command Waiting Time
To make sure the correct results of a command with the 400KHz I2C operation, a proper waiting time
should be added between issuing command and reading results. For subcommands, the following
diagram shows the waiting time required between issuing the control command the reading the status with
the exception of checksum and OCV commands. A 100ms waiting time is required between the checksum
command and reading result, and a 1.2 second waiting time is required between the OCV command and
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
I2C clock stretches can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In the 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 NORMAL and SLEEP+ modes, clock stretching will only occur for packets addressed for the fuel
gauge. The timing of stretches will vary as interactions between the communicating host and the gauge
are asynchronous. The I2C clock stretches may occur after start bits, the ACK/NAK bit and first data bit
transmit on a host read cycle. The majority of clock stretch periods are small (<= 4mSec) as the I2C
interface peripheral and CPU firmware perform normal data flow control. However, less frequent but more
significant clock stretch periods may occur when data flash (DF) is being written by the CPU to update the
resistance (Ra) tables and other DF parameters such as Qmax. Due to the organization of DF, updates
need to be written in data blocks consisting of multiple data bytes.
An Ra table update requires erasing a single page of DF, programming the updated Ra table and a flag.
The potential I2C clock stretching time is 24ms max. This includes 20ms page erase and 2ms row
programming time (x2 rows). The Ra table updates occur during the discharge cycle and at up to 15
resistance grid points that occur during the discharge cycle.
A DF block write typically requires a max of 72ms. This includes copying data to a temporary buffer and
updating DF. This temporary buffer mechanism is used to protect from power failure during a DF update.
The first part of the update requires 20ms time to erase the copy buffer page, 6 ms time to write the data
into the copy buffer and the program progress indicator (2ms for each individual write). The second part of
the update is writing to the DF and requires 44ms DF block update time. This includes a 20ms each page
erase for two pages and 2ms each row write for two rows.

In the event that a previous DF write was interrupted by a power failure or reset during the DF write, an
additional 44ms max DF restore time is required to recover the data from a previously interrupted DF
write. In this power failure recovery case, the total I2C clock stretching is 116ms max.
Another case where I2C clock stretches is at the end of discharge. The update to the last discharge data
will go through the DF block update twice because two pages are used for the data storage. The clock
stretching in this case is 144ms max. This occurs if there has been a Ra table update during the
discharge.
