3 Description
The Texas Instruments bq27425-G2 fuel gauge is an
easy-to-configure microcontroller peripheral that
provides system-side fuel gauging for single-cell LiIon batteries. The device requires minimal user
configuration and system microcontroller firmware
development.
The fuel gauge uses the patented Impedance
Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides
information such as remaining battery capacity
(mAh), state-of-charge (%), and battery voltage (mV).
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27425-G2 fuel gauge
requires connections only to PACK+ (P+) and PACK–
(P–) for a removable battery pack or embedded
battery circuit. The 15-pin, 2.69 mm × 1.75 mm, 0.5mm pitch chip scale package (DSBGA) is ideal for
space-constrained applications.

SLUSB23B – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED JUNE 2015
8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The bq27425 device accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single Libased rechargeable cell. The device can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such
as state-of-charge (SOC).
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 control and status registers, as well as
its data locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the I2C serial communications engine, and
can be executed during application development, system manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
The key to the high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instruments proprietary Impedance Track™
algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create state-of-charge
predictions that can achieve high accuracy across a wide variety of operating conditions and over the lifetime of
the battery.
The bq27425 device measures charging and discharging of the battery by monitoring the voltage across a smallvalue integrated sense resistor (10 mΩ, typical) located between the system VSS and the battery’s PACK–
terminal. When a cell is attached to the fuel gauge, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell opencircuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The device uses an integrated temperature sensor for estimating cell temperature. Alternatively, the host
processor can provide temperature data for the fuel gauge.
To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has several power modes: INITIALIZATION, NORMAL, SLEEP,
and HIBERNATE. The fuel gauge passes automatically between these modes, depending upon the occurrence
of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes directly. See Operating Modes.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fuel Gauging
The bq27425 is an easy-to-configure fuel gauge that measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to
determine battery state-of-charge (SOC). The fuel gauge monitors the charging and discharging of the battery by
sensing the voltage across an integrated small-value resistor (10 mΩ, typical) between the SRX and VSS pins
and in series with the cell. By integrating charge passing through the battery, the battery 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 SOC and chemical capacity (Qmax). The
initial Qmax values are taken from the Design Capacity. The fuel gauge acquires and updates the batteryimpedance 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.
8.3.2 Fuel Gauging Configurations
The fuel gauge features easy-to-configure data NVM to speed-up fuel gauging design. Users are required to
configure Design Capacity, Termination Voltage, and Operation Configuration (see Operation Configuration
(Op Config) Register for details) to achieve optimal performance. The Impedance Track™ algorithm uses these
parameters along with built-in parameters to achieve accurate battery fuel gauging.
Several built-in parameters are used in the Impedance Track™ algorithm to identify different modes of battery:
• Charging: Chg Current Threshold (default = DesignCapacity / 13.3)
• Discharging: Dsg Current Threshold (default = DesignCapacity / 16.7)
• Relax: Quit Current Threshold (default = DesignCapacity / 25.0)
To achieve accurate fuel gauging, the fuel gauge uses a Constant Power Model for fuel gauging. This model
uses the average discharge power from the beginning of the discharge cycle until present time to compute loadcompensated capacity such as RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( ) in the Impedance Track™
algorithm.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2.1 SOC Smoothing Feature
Rapid changes in operating conditions, such as temperature or discharge current, can lead to sudden changes in
the algorithm's immediate calculation of RemainingCapacity( ), FullChargeCapacity( ), and StateOfCharge( ).
SOC Smoothing provides filtered data to the host resulting in more gradual changes to SOC-related data when
conditions vary and can provide a better end-user experience. The feature is enabled through Op Config
[SMOOTHEN].
8.3.3 GPOUT Pin
The GPOUT pin is a multiplexed pin and the polarity of the pin output can be selected through the [GPIO_POL]
bit of the Operation Configuration. The function is defined by Op Config [BATLOWEN]. If set, the Battery Low
Indicator (BAT_LOW) function for GPOUT pin is selected. If cleared, the SOC interrupt (SOC_INT) function is
selected for GPOUT.
When the BAT_LOW function is activated, the signaling on the multiplexed pin follows the status of the [SOC1]
bit in the Flags( ) register. The fuel gauge has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warn when the
battery SOC has fallen to critical levels. When StateOfCharge( ) 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
StateOfCharge( ) rises above SOC1 Set Threshold. The GPOUT pin automatically reflects the status of the
[SOC1] flag when Op Config [BATLOWEN] = 0.
When StateOfCharge( ) falls below the second capacity threshold, SOCF Set Threshold, the [SOCF] (State of
Charge Final) flag is set, serving as a final discharge warning. Similarly, when StateOfCharge( ) rises above
SOCF Clear Threshold and the [SOCF] flag has already been set, the [SOCF] flag is cleared.
When the SOC_INT function is activated, the GPOUT pin generates 1-ms pulse width under various conditions
as described in Table 1.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Operating Modes
The fuel gauge has different operating modes: POR, INITIALIZATION, NORMAL, CONFIG UPDATE, SLEEP,
and HIBERNATE. Upon power up from OFF or SHUTDOWN, a Power On Reset (POR) occurs and the fuel
gauge begins INITIALIZATION. In NORMAL mode, the fuel gauge is fully powered and can execute any
allowable task. Configuration data in RAM and NVM can be updated by the host using the CONFIG UPDATE
mode. In SLEEP mode the fuel gauge turns off the high-frequency oscillator clock to enter a reduced-power
state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations. In HIBERNATE mode the fuel gauge is in a
very-low-power state, but can be woken up by communication or certain IO activity.
In SHUTDOWN mode, the LDO is disabled so internal power and all volatile data is lost. Because no gauging
occurs in SHUTDOWN mode, additional gauging error can be introduced if the system has significant battery
charge or discharge activity before re-INITIALIZATION.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.1.1 POR and INITIALIZATION Modes
Upon Power On Reset (POR), the fuel gauge copies ROM-based configuration defaults to RAM and begins
INITIALIZATION mode where essential data is initialized and will remain in INITIALIZATION mode as haltedCPU state when an adapter, or other power source is present to power the bq27425 (and system), yet no battery
has been detected. The occurrence of POR or a Control( ) RESET subcommand will set the Flags( ) [ITPOR]
status bit to indicate that RAM has returned to ROM default data. When battery insertion is detected, a series of
initialization activities begin including an OCV measurement. In addition CONTROL_STATUS [QMAX_UP] and
[RES_UP] bits are cleared to allow fast learning of Qmax and impedance.
Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the bq27425 is halted in this mode.
The gauge will wake up to process the command, and then return to the halted state awaiting battery insertion.
The current consumption of INITIALIZATION mode is similar to NORMAL mode.
8.4.1.2 CONFIG UPDATE Mode
If the application requires different configuration data for the bq27425. The host can update both NVM and RAM
based parameters using the Control( ) SET_CFGUPDATE subcommand to enter CONFIG UPDATE mode as
indicated by the Flags( ) [CFGUPMODE] status bit. In this mode, fuel gauging is suspended while the host uses
the Extended Data Commands to modify the configuration data blocks. To resume fuel gauging, the host sends a
Control( ) SOFT_RESETsubcommand to exit CONFIG UPDATE mode and clear both Flags( ) [ITPOR] and
[CFGUPMODE] bits. After a time-out of approximately 240 seconds (4 minutes), the gauge will automatically exit
CONFIG UPDATE mode if it has not received a SOFT_RESET subcommand from the host.
8.4.1.3 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 once per second, 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.
8.4.1.4 SLEEP Mode
SLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Operation Configuration [SLEEP]) = 1) and
AverageCurrent( ) is less than the programmable level Sleep Current (default = 10 mA). Once entry into SLEEP
mode has been qualified, but before entering it, the bq27425 performs an ADC autocalibration to minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27425 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However, a
majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27425 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when: AverageCurrent( ) rises above
Sleep Current (default = 10 mA).
8.4.1.5 HIBERNATE Mode
HIBERNATE mode could be used when the system equipment needs to enter a very 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. The gauge will remain in
HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge. I2C communication that is not
directed to the gauge will only briefly wake it up and the gauge immediately returns to HIBERNATE mode.
It is the system’s responsibility to wake the bq27425 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode and to prevent a
charger from charging the battery before the [OCVTAKEN] bit is set which signals an OCV reading is taken. After
waking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information.

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Standard Data Commands
The fuel gauge 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 3. 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 I2C Interface. 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 Access Modes.)

Data values read by the host may be invalid during initialization for a period of up to 3
seconds.

mAh. FullChargeCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified by the IT algorithm.
8.5.1.9 AverageCurrent( ): 0x10 and 0x11
This read-only command pair returns a signed integer value that is the average current flow through the sense
resistor. In NORMAL mode, it is updated once per second and is calculated by dividing the 1-second change in
coulomb counter data by 1 second. Large current spikes of short duration will be averaged out in this
measurement. Units are mA.
8.5.1.10 AveragePower( ): 0x18 and 0x19
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.
8.5.1.11 StateOfCharge( ): 0x1C and 0x1D
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%.
8.5.1.12
IntTemperature( ): 0x1E and 0x1F
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. If Op Config [TEMPS] = 0, this command will return the same value as
Temperature( ).

most useful for system level debug to quickly determine device configuration.
8.5.1.15
DesignCapacity( ): 0x3C and 0x3D
This read-only function 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 and is used as an input for the algorithm to scale the
normalized resistance tables and for the calculation of StateOfHealth().
8.5.1.16 DebugX( ):
Several read-only functions such as Debug1( ), Debug2( ), Debug3( ) provide information useful for debug
purposes. For factory use only.
8.5.2 Extended Data Commands
Extended commands offer additional functionality beyond the standard set of commands. They are used in the
same manner; however, unlike standard commands, extended commands are not limited to 2-byte words. The
number of command bytes for a given extended command ranges in size from single to multiple bytes, as
specified in Table 7.

8.5.3 Block Data Interface
8.5.3.1 Accessing Block Data
The fuel gauge contains both re-writable EEPROM non-volatile memory (NVM) and ROM-based data blocks.
Upon device RESET, the ROM-based data blocks are copied to associated volatile RAM space to initialize
default configuration and data constants to be used by the fuel gauging algorithm. Re-writable NVM-based data
blocks contain information expected to change such as: calibration, customer data, and Impedance Track fuel
gauging data tables. If the application requires a change to the NVM or RAM configuration data, the host can
update the data blocks in CONFIG UPDATE mode. RAM-based data changes are temporary and must be
applied by the host using CONFIG UPDATE mode after each device RESET; while changes to the NVM data
blocks are permanent. The data blocks can be accessed in several different ways, depending on the access
mode and what data is being accessed.
Commonly accessed data block locations, frequently read by a system, are conveniently accessed through
specific instructions, already described in Extended Data Commands. These commands are available when the
fuel gauge is either in UNSEALED or SEALED mode.
Most data block locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the evaluation software
or by data block transfers. These locations should be optimized and/or fixed during the development and
manufacture processes. Once established, the values generally remain unchanged during end-equipment
operation.
To access data locations individually, the block containing the desired data NVM locations 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 through 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 the associated data block, once the correct checksum for the whole block is written to
BlockDataChecksum( ) (0x60).
Occasionally, a data CLASS will be larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the DataBlock( ) command
designates in which 32-byte block the desired locations reside. The correct command address is then given by
0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Sleep Current in the Gas Gauging class, the DataClass( ) is
issued 82 (0x52) to set the class. Because the offset is 34, it resides in the second 32-byte block. Hence,
DataBlock( ) is issued 0x01 to set the block offset, and the offset used to index into the BlockData( ) memory
area is 0x40 + 34 modulo 32 = 0x40 + 2 = 0x40 + 2 = 0x42.

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 fuel gauge, 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 data written to NVM blocks is not persistent, so a power-on reset does resolve the fault.
8.5.4 Access Modes
The fuel gauge supports SEALED and UNSEALED access modes to control data NVM access permissions
according to Table 8.

SECURITY MODE
8.5.4.1 Sealing and Unsealing Data Blocks
The fuel gauge implements a key-access security scheme to transition from a SEALED state to the UNSEALED
state. Devices are shipped from the factory in the UNSEALED state and should be SEALED before use in endequipment. The Sealed to Unseal key can only be updated in the UNSEALED state.
To SEAL from UNSEALED: The host sends the SEALED subcommand 0x0020 to the Control( ) register. After
receiving the SEALED subcommand, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set within 2 seconds.
To UNSEAL from SEALED: Host sends the keys to the Control( ) register. The keys must be sent
consecutively, with no other data written to Control( ).
NOTE
To avoid conflict with normal subcommands, the keys must be different from the codes
presented in the CNTL DATA column of the Table 4 table.
The first word is Key 0 and the second word is Key 1. The order of the keys sent are Key 1 followed by Key 0.
The order of the bytes for each key entered through the Control( ) command is the reverse of what is read from
the part. For example, if the 4-byte Sealed to Unseal key is 0x56781234, key 1 is 0x1234 and key 0 is 0x5678.
So, the host should write 0x3412 followed by 0x7856 to unseal the part. After receiving the correct key sequence
the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is cleared.

8.5.6 Detecting Charge Termination
The fuel gauge detects charge termination when:
• AverageCurrent( ) < Taper Current (default = 75 mA) for 80 seconds
• During the same 80 seconds, the accumulated change in capacity > 0.25 mAh / 40 seconds
• Voltage( ) > (Charging Voltage – 100 mV)
When this occurs, the Flags( )[CHG] bit is cleared. Also, if the [RMFCC] bit of Operation Configuration is set,
then RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
8.5.7 Communications
8.5.7.1 I2C Interface
The fuel gauge supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, quick read, one-byte write, and incremental
write functions. The 7-bit device address (ADDR) is the most significant 7 bits of the hex address and is fixed as
1010101. The first 8 bits of the I2C protocol are, therefore, 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

Figure 7. I2C Interface Read/Write
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 fuel gauge or the
I2C master. “Quick writes” function in the same manner and are a convenient means of sending multiple bytes to
consecutive command locations (such as two-byte commands that require two bytes of data).
The following command sequences are not supported:

8.5.7.2 I2C Time Out
The I2C engine releases both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for 2 seconds. If the fuel gauge is holding
the lines, releasing them frees them for 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.
8.5.7.3 I2C Command Waiting Time
To ensure proper operation at 400 kHz, a t(BUF) ≥ 66 μs bus-free waiting time must be inserted between all
packets addressed to the fuel gauge. In addition, if the SCL clock frequency (fSCL) is > 100 kHz, use individual 1byte write commands for proper data flow control. The following diagram shows the standard waiting time
required between issuing the control subcommand the reading the status result. 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 must not issue any standard command more than two times per
second. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.

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

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The Texas Instruments bq27425-G2 fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that provides system-side fuel
gauging for single-cell Li-Ion batteries. The device requires minimal user configuration and system
microcontroller firmware. Battery fuel gauging with the bq27425-G2 fuel gauge requires connections only to
PACK+ (P+) and PACK– for a removable battery pack or embedded battery circuit.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
As shipped from the TI factory, many bq27425-G2 parameters in NVM are left in the unprogrammed state (zero)
while some parameters directly associated with the CHEMID are preprogrammed. This partially programmed
configuration facilitates customization for each end application. Upon device reset, the contents of NVM are
copied to associated volatile RAM-based Data Memory blocks. For proper operation, all parameters in RAMbased Data Memory require initialization — either by updating Data Memory parameters in a lab or evaluation
situation or by programming the NVM for customer production.
Table 9 shows the design parameter values that are present in the device.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 BAT/REGIN Voltage Sense Input
A ceramic capacitor at the input to the BAT/REGIN pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple to ground, greatly
reducing its influence on battery voltage measurements. It proves most effective in applications with load profiles
that exhibit high-frequency current pulses (that is, cell phones) but is recommended for use in all applications to
reduce noise on this sensitive high-impedance measurement node.
9.2.2.2 Integrated LDO Capacitor
The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VCC pin of approximately 2.5 V. A capacitor of
value at least 1 μF should be connected between the VCC pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to
the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VCC pin and VSS.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Power Supply Decoupling
The battery connection on the BAT pin is used as an input for voltage measurement of the battery. A capacitor of
value of at least 0.1 μF should be connected between BAT and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the
gauge IC and have short traces to both the BAT pin and VSS.
The battery connection on the REGIN pin is used to supply power to the gauge. A capacitor of value of at least
0.1 μF should be connected between REGIN and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the gauge IC and
have short traces to both the REGIN pin and VSS.
The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VCC pin of approximately 2.5 V. A capacitor of
value at least 1 μF should be connected between the VCC pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to
the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
A capacitor of at least 1 μF is connected between the VCC pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to
the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VCC pin and VSS.
• A capacitor at least 0.1 μF must be connected between the BAT pin and VSS if the connection between the
battery pack and the gauge BAT pin has the potential to pick up noise. The capacitor should be placed close
to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.
• If the external pullup resistors on the SCL and SDA lines will be disconnected from the host during low-power
operation, TI recommends using external 1-MΩ pulldown resistors to VSS to avoid floating inputs to the I2C
engine.
• The value of the SCL and SDA pullup resistors should take into consideration the pullup voltage and the bus
capacitance.
• If the GPOUT pin is not used by the host, the pin should still be pulled up to VDD with a 4.7-kΩ or 10-kΩ
resistor.
• The BIN pin should not be shorted directly to VCC or VSS.
