DESCRIPTION
The bq2084-V143 SBS-compliant gas gauge IC for
battery pack or in-system installation maintains an
accurate record of available charge in Li-ion or
Li-polymer batteries. The bq2084-V143 monitors
capacity and other critical parameters of the battery
pack and reports the information to the system host
controller over a serial communication bus. It is
designed to work with the bq29312 AFE protection
IC to maximize functionality and safety and minimize
component count and cost in smart battery circuits.
Using information from the bq2084-V143, the host
controller can manage remaining battery power to
extend the system run time as much as possible.
The bq2084-V143 uses an integrating converter with
continuous sampling for the measurement of battery
charge and discharge currents. Optimized for
coulomb counting in portable applications, the
self-calibrating integrating converter has a resolution
better than 0.65-nVh and an offset measurement
error of less than 1-µV (typical). For voltage and
temperature reporting, the bq2084-V143 uses a
16-bit A-to-D converter. With the bq29312, the
onboard ADC also monitors the pack and individual
cell voltages in a battery pack and allows the
bq2084-V143 to generate the control signals
necessary to implement the cell balancing and the
required safety protection for Li-ion and Li-polymer
battery chemistries.
The bq2084-V143 supports the Smart Battery Data
(SBData) commands and charge-control functions. It
communicates data using the System Management
Bus (SMBus) 2-wire protocol. The data available
include
the
battery's
remaining
capacity,
temperature, voltage, current, and remaining
run-time predictions.
The bq2084-V143 provides LED drivers and a
pushbutton input to depict remaining battery capacity
from full to empty in 20%, 25%, or 33% increments
with a 3-, 4-, or 5-segment display.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The bq2084-V143 contains 1k bytes of internal data flash memory, which store configuration information. The
information includes nominal capacity and voltage, self-discharge rate, rate compensation factors, and other
programmable cell-modeling factors used to accurately adjust remaining capacity for use-conditions based on
time, rate, and temperature. The bq2084-V143 also automatically calibrates or learns the true battery capacity in
the course of a discharge cycle from programmable near full to near empty levels.
The bq29312 analog front-end (AFE) protection IC is used to maximize functionality and safety and minimize
component count and cost in smart battery circuits. The bq29312 AFE protection IC provides power to the
bq2084-V143 from a 2-, 3-, or 4-series Li-ion cell stack, eliminating the need for an external regulator circuit.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
OSCILLATOR FUNCTION
The oscillator of the bq2084-V143 can be set up for an internal or external operation. As the bq2084-V143
powers up it automatically attempts to start the internal oscillator, but if a 100-kΩ resistor is not connected to
ROSC (pin 33), then it attempts to start the oscillator using an external 32.768-kHz crystal. Either the 100-kΩ
ROSC resistor OR the 12 pF 32.768-kHz crystal should be mounted, NOT both.
The performance of the internal oscillator depends on the tolerance of the 100-kΩ resistor connected between

bq2084-V143
www.ti.com
SLUS732 – SEPTEMBER 2006
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
RSOC (pin 33) and VSSA (pin 34). It is recommended that this resistor be as close to the bq2084-V143 as
possible and that it has a specification of ±0.1% tolerance and ±50 ppm temperature drift or better. The 12-pF
crystal, if used, should also be placed as close to the XCK1 (pin 34) and XCK2 (pin 33) pins as possible. The
layout of the PCB around these pins and components is also an additional contributing factor to oscillator
performance degradation.
The average temperature drift error of the oscillator function over a learning charge or discharge cycle
introduces an equal capacity prediction error in a learned full charge capacity (FCC).
SYSTEM PRESENT OPERATION
When the bq2084-V143 detects that the battery is inserted into the system via a low state on the PRES input,
the bq2084-V143 enters normal operating mode and sets the PRES bit in PackStatus(). The discharge FET
turns on within 250 ms of pack insertion. When the pack is removed from the system and the PRES input is
high, then the bq2084-V143 enters the battery removed state and turns OFF the charge and discharge FETs,
and enables the 0-V/precharging FET. If NR in Misc Config is set, then the PRES input can be left floating as it
is not used.
GENERAL OPERATION
The bq2084-V143 determines battery capacity by monitoring the amount of charge input or removed from a
rechargeable battery. In addition to measuring charge and discharge, the bq2084-V143 measures individual cell
voltages, pack voltage, temperature, and current, estimates battery self-discharge, and monitors the battery for
low-voltage thresholds using features of the bq29312 AFE device.
The bq2084-V143 measures charge and discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series
sense resistor between the cell stack negative terminal and the negative terminal of the battery pack. The
available battery charge is determined by monitoring this voltage and correcting the measurement for
environmental and operating conditions.
The bq2084-V143 interfaces with the bq29312 to perform battery protection, cell balancing, and voltage
translation functions. The bq2084-V143 can accept any NTC thermistor (default is Semitec 103AT) for
temperature measurement or can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. The bq2084-V143
uses temperature to monitor the battery pack and to compensate the self-discharge estimate.
MEASUREMENTS
The bq2084-V143 uses an integrating sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for current measurement
and a second sigma-delta ADC for individual cell and battery voltage and temperature measurement. The
individual cell and pack voltages, Voltage(), Current(), AverageCurrent() and Temperature() are updated every 1
s during normal operation.
CHARGE AND DISCHARGE COUNTING
The integrating ADC measures the charge and discharge flow of the battery by monitoring a small-value sense
resistor between the SR1 and SR2 pins. The integrating ADC measures bipolar signals from -0.25 V to 0.25µV.
The bq2084-V143 detects charge activity when VSR = V(SR1)-V(SR2) is positive and discharge activity when
VSR = V(SR1)-V(SR2) is negative. The bq2084-V143 continuously integrates the signal over time, using an
internal counter. The fundamental rate of the counter is 0.65 nVh. The bq2084-V143 updates
RemainingCapacity() with the charge or discharge accumulated in this internal counter once every second.
OFFSET CALIBRATION
The bq2084-V143 provides an auto-calibration feature to cancel the voltage offset error across SR1 and SR2 for
maximum charge measurement accuracy. The bq2084-V143 performs auto-calibration when the SMBus lines
stay low for a minimum of 20 s when it internally connects SR1 to SR2 and measures the internal offset. With
this feature the bq2084-V143 is capable of automatic offset calibration down to <1 µV.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
DIGITAL FILTER
The bq2084-V143 does not measure charge or discharge counts below the digital filter threshold. The digital
filter threshold is programmed in the Digital Filter DF 0x2c and should be set sufficiently high to prevent false
signal detection with no charge or discharge flowing through the sense resistor.
VOLTAGE
While monitoring SR1 and SR2 for charge and discharge currents, the bq2084-V143 monitors the individual
series cell voltages through the bq29312. The bq2084-V143 configures the bq29312 to present the selected cell
to the CELL pin of the bq29312, which should be connected to VIN of the bq2084-V143. The internal ADC of the
bq2084-V143 then measures the voltage and scales it appropriately. The bq2084-V143 then reports the
Voltage() and the individual cell voltages in VCELL1(), VCELL2(), VCELL3(), and VCELL4(). An additional
SMBus command (0x45) returns the measured ADC Reading of the PACK input to the AFE.
CURRENT
The bq2084-V143 uses the SR1 and SR2 inputs to measure and calculate the battery charge and discharge
current. This value is reported via the SBS command Current(). AverageCurrent() is implemented as a
single-pole IIR filter with a 14.5-s time constant.

The TS input of the bq2084-V143 along with an NTC thermistor measures the battery temperature as shown in
the schematic. The bq2084-V143 reports temperature via the SBS command Temperature().
The bq2084-V143 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor by setting the IT bit in Misc
Configuration DF 0x2a-0x2b. Data flash locations DF 0xb5 through DF 0xc0 also have to be changed to
prescribed values if the internal temperature sensor option is selected.

Figure 1. bq2084-V143 Gas Gauging Operational Overview
The bq2084-V143 accumulates a measure of charge and discharge currents and estimates self-discharge of the
battery. The bq2084-V143 compensates the charge current measurement for temperature and state-of-charge of
the battery. The bq2084-V143 also adjusts the self-discharge estimation based on temperature.
The main charge counter RemainingCapacity() (RM) represents the available capacity or energy in the battery at
any given time. The bq2084-V143 adjusts RM for charge, self-discharge, and other compensation factors. The
information in the RM register is accessible through the SMBus interface and is also represented through the
LED display.
The FullChargeCapacity() (FCC) register represents the last measured learned full discharge of the battery. It is
used as the battery full-charge reference for relative capacity indication. The bq2084-V143 updates FCC after
the battery undergoes a qualified discharge from nearly full to a low battery level. FCC is accessible through the
SMBus interface.
The Discharge Count Register (DCR) is a non-accessible register that tracks discharge of the battery. The
bq2084-V143 uses the DCR register to update the FCC register if the battery undergoes a qualified discharge
from nearly full to a low battery level. In this way, the bq2084-V143 learns the true discharge capacity of the
battery under system-use conditions.
Main Gas-Gauge Registers
RemainingCapacity() (RM)
RM represents the remaining capacity in the battery. The bq2084-V143 computes RM in units of either mAh or
10 mWh depending on the selected mode. See Battery Mode() (0x03) for units configuration. RM counts up
during charge to a maximum value of FullChargeCapacity() (FCC) and down during discharge and
self-discharge to a minimum of 0. In addition to charge and self-discharge compensation, the bq2084-V143
calibrates RM at three low-battery-voltage thresholds, EDV2, EDV1, and EDV0 and three programmable
midrange thresholds VOC25, VOC50, and VOC75. This provides a voltage-based calibration to the RM counter.

DesignCapacity () (DC)
DC is the user-specified battery full capacity. It is calculated from Pack Capacity DF 0x32-0x33 and is
represented in units of mAh or 10 mWh. It also represents the full-battery reference for the absolute display
mode.
FullChargeCapacity() (FCC)
FCC is the last learned measured discharge capacity of the battery. It is represented in units of either mAh or 10
mWh, depending on the selected mode. On initialization, the bq2084-V143 sets FCC to the value stored in Full
Charge Capacity DF 0x36-0x37. During subsequent discharges, the bq2084-V143 updates FCC with the last
learned measured discharge capacity of the battery. The last learned measured discharge of the battery is
based on the value in the Discharge Count Register (DCR) after a qualified discharge occurs. Once updated, the
bq2084-V143 writes the new FCC value to data flash in mAh to Full Charge Capacity. FCC represents the
full-battery reference for the relative display mode, relative state of charge and AtRate() calculations.
Discharge Count Register (DCR)
The DCR register counts up during discharge, independent of RM. DCR counts discharge activity, battery load
estimation, and self-discharge increments. The bq2084-V143 initializes DCR, at the beginning of a discharge, to
FCC - RM when FCC - RM is within the programmed value in Near Full DF 0x30. The DCR initial value of FCC RM is reduced by FCC/128 if SC = 1 (bit 5 in Gauge Configuration) and is not reduced if SC = 0. DCR stops
counting when the battery voltage reaches the EDV2 threshold on discharge.
Capacity Learning (FCC Update) and Qualified Discharge
The bq2084-V143 updates FCC with an amount based on the value in DCR if a qualified discharge occurs. The
new value for FCC equals the DCR value plus the programmable nearly full and low battery levels, according to
the following equation:
FCC (new) = DCR (final) = DCR (initial) + Measured Discharge to EDV2 + (FCC x Battery Low%)
here Battery Low % = (value stored in DF 0x2f) ÷ 2.56
A qualified discharge occurs if the battery discharges from RM = FCC - Near Full to the EDV2 voltage threshold
with the following conditions:
• No more than 256 mAh of self-discharge or battery load estimation occurs during the discharge period.
• The temperature does not drop below the low temperature threshold programmed in Learning Low Temp DF
0xac during the discharge period.
• The battery voltage reaches the EDV2 threshold during the discharge period, and the voltage is greater than
or equal to the EDV2 threshold minus 256 mV when the bq2084-V143 detects EDV2.
• No midrange voltage correction occurs during the discharge period.
• Current remains ≤ 3C/32 when EDV2 or Battery Low % level is reached.
• No overload condition exists when EDV2 threshold is reached, or if RM() has dropped to Battery Low% x
FCC,
• No valid charge activity occurs during the discharge period. A valid charge is defined as an uninterrupted
charge of 10 mAh into the battery.
The bq2084-V143 sets VDQ = 1 in PackStatus() when qualified discharge begins. The bq2084-V143 sets VDQ
= 0 if any disqualifying condition occurs. FCC cannot be reduced by more than 256 mAh or increased by more
than 512 mAh during any single update cycle. The bq2084-V143 saves the new FCC value to the data flash
within 4 seconds of being updated.
End-of-Discharge Thresholds and Capacity Correction
The bq2084-V143 monitors the battery for three low-voltage thresholds, EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2. The EDV
thresholds can be programmed for determination based on the overall pack voltage or an individual cell level.
The EDVV bit in Pack Configuration DF 0x28 configures the bq2084-V143 for overall voltage or single-cell EDV
thresholds. If programmed for single-cell EDV determination, the bq2084-V143 determines EDV on the basis of
the lowest single-cell voltage. Fixed EDV thresholds must be programmed in EMF/EDV0 DF 0x95-0x96, EDV C0
Factor/EDV1 DF 0x97-0x98, and EDV R Factor/EDV2 DF 0x99-0x9a.

bq2084-V143 computes the EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2 voltage thresholds based on the values in DF 0x95-0xa0
and the battery's current discharge rate and temperature. If FEDV0 in Gauge Configuration is also set then
EDV0 is not compensated. The bq2084-V143 disables EDV detection if Current( ) exceeds the Overload Current
threshold programmed in DF 0x5b-DF 0x5c. The bq2084-V143 resumes EDV threshold detection after Current( )
drops below the Overload Current threshold. Any EDV threshold detected is reset after charge is detected and
VDQ is cleared after 10 mAh of charge.
The bq2084-V143 uses the EDV thresholds to apply voltage-based corrections to the RM register according to
Table 2.

The bq2084-V143 performs EDV-based RM adjustments with Current()≤ C/32. No EDV flags are set if current <
C/32.
The bq2084-V143 adjusts RM as it detects each threshold. If the voltage threshold is reached before the
corresponding capacity on discharge, the bq2084-V143 reduces RM to the appropriate amount as shown in
Table 2.
If an RM % level is reached on discharge before the voltage reaches the corresponding threshold, then RM is
held at that % level until the threshold is reached. RM is only held if VDQ = 1, indicating a valid learning cycle is
in progress. If Battery Low % is set to zero, EDV1 and EDV0 corrections are disabled.
EDV Thresholds and Near-Full Programming
The bq2084-V143 uses the values stored in data flash for the EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2 values or calculates the
three thresholds from a base value and the temperature, capacity, and rate adjustment factors stored in data
flash. If EDV compensation is disabled, then EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2 are stored directly in mV in DF 0x95-0x96,
DF 0x97-0x98, and DF 0x99-0x9a, respectively.
For capacity correction at EDV2, Battery Low % DF 0x2f can be set at a desired state-of-charge,
STATEOFCHARGE%, in the range of 3-19%. Typical values for STATEOFCHARGE% are 5-7%, representing
5-7% capacity.
Battery Low % = (STATEOFCHARGE% x 2.56)
The bq2084-V143 updates FCC if a qualified discharge occurs from a near-full threshold of FCC - Near Full,
until EDV2 condition is reached. The desired near-full threshold window is programmed in Near Full in DF 0x30,
0x31 in mAh.
EDV Discharge Rate and Temperature Compensation Programming
If EDV compensation is enabled, the bq2084-V143 calculates battery voltage to determine EDV0, EDV1, and
EDV2 thresholds as a function of battery capacity, temperature, and discharge load. The general equation for
EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2 calculation is
EDV0,1,2 = n (EMF × FBL – | ILOAD | × R0 × FTZ)
EMF is a no-load cell voltage higher than the highest cell EDV threshold computed. EMF is programmed
in mV in EMF/EDV1 DF 0x95-0x96.
ILOAD is the current discharge load magnitude.
n = the number of series cells
FBL is the factor that adjusts the EDV voltage for battery capacity and temperature to match the no-load
characteristics of the battery.
FBL = f ( C0, C + C1, T )

C (either 0%, 3%, or Battery Low % for EDV0, EDV1, and EDV2, respectively) and C0 are the
capacity-related EDV adjustment factors. C0 is programmed in EDV C0 Factor/EDV1 DF 0x97-98. C1 is
the desired residual battery capacity remaining at EDV0 (RM = 0). The C1 factor is stored in EDV C1

Aging Factor
The bq2084-V143 adds a new aging factor called DF: Age Factor which scales cell impedances as the cycle
count increases. This new factor is used to accommodate for much higher impedances observed in larger
capacity and/or aged cells. For most applications the default value of zero is sufficient. However, for some very

specific applications, this new aging factor may be required. In those cases, experimental data must be taken at
the 0, 100, 200, and 300 cycle read points using a typical discharge rate while at ambient temperature. Entering
this data into a TI provided MathCAD program will yield the appropriate DF: Age Factor value. Contact TI

detailed information.
Watch Dog Re-Initialization
The bq2084-V143 adds a new feature which periodically tests the state of two registers required to produce the
32kHz signal to the AFE.
The two registers which configure a 32kHz clock output to the AFE are checked once per second in normal
operation, sleep mode, and permanent failure mode. If the register contents are incorrect, they are corrected, up
to a maximum number of corrections, as set by a new data flash configuration constant called Max 32k Reinit.
After the maximum number of corrections has been exceeded, if the 32kHz clock output is lost, then a watchdog
failure (WDF) occurs in the AFE. As a result of the WDF, the AFE turns all the FETS off. At this point the WDF
can only be corrected by a full reset.
Self-Discharge
The bq2084-V143 estimates the self-discharge of the battery to maintain an accurate measure of the battery
capacity during periods of inactivity. The bq2084-V143 makes self-discharge adjustments to RM every 1/4 s
when awake and periodically (determined by Sleep Timer DF 0xfe) when in sleep mode. The self-discharge
estimation rate for 25°C is doubled for each 10 degrees above 25°C or halved for each 10 degrees below 25°C.
Table 4 shows the relation of the self-discharge estimation at a given temperature to the rate programmed for
25°C (Y% per day programmed in DF 0x2d).

Battery Electronic Load Compensation
The bq2084-V143 can be configured to compensate for a constant load (as from battery electronics) present in
the battery pack at all times. The bq2084-V143 applies the compensation continuously when the charge or
discharge is below the digital filter. The bq2084-V143 applies the compensation (BEL) in addition to
self-discharge. The compensation occurs at a rate determined by the value stored in Electronics Load DF 0x2e.
The compensation range is 0 µA-765 µA in steps of approximately 3 µA. The data is stored as follows:
Electronics Load = BEL / 3
Midrange Capacity Corrections
The bq2084-V143 applies midrange capacity corrections when the VCOR bit is set in Gauge Configuration DF
0x29. The bq2084-V143 adjusts RM to the associated percentage at three different voltage levels: VOC25,
VOC50, and VOC75. The VOC values represent the open-circuit battery voltage at which RM corresponds to the
associated percentage for each threshold.

For the midrange corrections to occur, the temperature must be in the range of 19°C to 31°C inclusive and
Current() and AverageCurrent() must both report between -64 mA and 0. The bq2084-V143 makes midrange
corrections as shown in Table 5. For a correction to occur, the bq2084-V143 must detect the need for correction
twice during subsequent 20-s intervals. With the VCOR bit set, the bq2084-V143 makes midrange corrections
whenever conditions permit.
If the OTVC bit in Gauge Configuration DF 0x29 is set and VCOR = 0, the bq2084-V143 makes two Voltage()
measurements, determines the average of the two readings and sets the appropriate RM level. No further
RSOC% vs Voltage() validation is performed until after the next device reset.

stored in the data flash in mV.
Charge Control
The bq2084-V143 internal charge control is compatible with the constant current/constant voltage profile for
Li-ion. The bq2084-V143 detects primary charge termination on the basis of the tapering charge current during
the constant-voltage phase.
Charging Voltage Broadcasts
The bq2084-V143 supports SBS charge control by broadcasting the ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() to
the Smart Charger address. The bq2084-V143 broadcasts the requests every 10 seconds. The bq2084-V143
updates the values used in the charging current and voltage broadcasts based on the battery's state of charge,
voltage, and temperature.
The 16-bit value (mV) for charging voltage is programmed in Charging Voltage DF 0x03a-0x3b although it can
be set to 0 in different operating conditions. It also sets the base value for determining overvoltage conditions
during charging and voltage compliance during a constant-voltage charging methodology.
The 16-bit value, Over Voltage Margin DF 0x5d-0x5e, sets the limit over ChargingVoltage() in mV that is to be
considered as an overvoltage charge-suspension condition.
Charging Current Broadcasts
ChargingCurrent() values are either broadcast to a Level 2 smart battery charger or read from the bq2084-V143
by a Level 3 smart battery charger. The ChargingCurrent() may take any of four different values: Fast-Charging
Current DF (0x3e-0x3f), Maintenance Charging Current (DF 0x40-0x41), Precharge Current (0x42-0x43) or 0
depending on charge state and operating conditions.
When fast charge is allowed, the bq2084-V143 sets ChargingCurrent() to the rate programmed in Fast-Charging
Current DF 0x3e-0x3f. Fast-Charging Current is stored in mA.
When fast charge terminates, the bq2084-V143 sets ChargingCurrent() to zero and then to the
MaintenanceCharging Current DF 40 0x41 when the termination condition ceases. The desired maintenance
current is stored in mA.
When Voltage() is less than EDV0, the bq2084-V143 sets ChargingCurrent() to Precharge Current DF 0x42,
0x43. Typically this rate is larger than the maintenance rate to charge a deeply depleted pack up to the point
where it may be fast charged. The desired precharge rate is stored in mA.

If temperature is between the Charge Inhibit Temp Low (DF0x46) and the precharge threshold PC (°C), the
bq2084-V143 sets ChargingCurrent() to Precharge Current. The threshold is programmed in the Precharge
Temp DF 0x44. The maximal value of precharge temperature threshold setting is 12.7°C.
• Precharge Temp = PC (°C) / 0.1
The bq2084-V143 also sets ChargingCurrent() to the precharge rate if Voltage() is less than the value
programmed in Precharge Voltage DF 0x3c-0x3d. Precharge Voltage is programmed in mV.
Alarm Broadcasts to Smart Charger and Host
If any of the bits 8-15 in BatteryStatus() are set, the bq2084-V143 broadcasts an AlarmWarning() message to
the Host address. If any of the bits 12-15 in BatteryStatus() are set, the bq2084-V143 also sends an
AlarmWarning() message to the Smart Charger address. The bq2084-V143 repeats the AlarmWarning()
messages every 10 seconds until the alarm bits are cleared. All broadcasts can be disabled by setting SM (bit 2)
in Pack Configuration (DF 0x28).
Precharge Qualification
The bq2084-V143 sets ChargingCurrent() to the precharge rate as programmed in Precharge Current DF
0x42-0x43 under the following conditions:
• Voltage: The bq2084-V143 requests the precharge charge rate when any cell voltage drops below the
precharge threshold or when the EDV0 threshold is detected. Once requested, a precharge rate remains
until all cell voltages increase above the precharge threshold and the EDV0 condition does not exist. The
precharge threshold is programmed in Precharge Voltage DF 0x3c-0x3d.
• Temperature: The bq2084-V143 requests the precharge rate when Temperature() is between Charge Inhibit
Temp Low (DF0x46) and the precharge threshold programmed in Precharge Temp 0x44. Temperature( )
must be equal to or greater than the precharge threshold + 3°C to allow the fast-charge rate.
Charge Suspension
The bq2084-V143 may temporarily suspend charge if it detects a charging fault. A charging fault includes the
following conditions.
• Overcurrent: An overcurrent condition exists when the bq2084-V143 measures the charge current to be
greater than Charge OC Threshold (DF 0x12a-0x12b) for a time greater than Charge OC Time (DF 0x12c).
On detecting an overcurrent condition, the bq2084-V143 turns off the Charge FET. If the Nonremovable
Battery bit is not set in Misc Configuration DF 0x2a, then the Discharge FET is turned off also. This condition
is cleared when the pack is removed or if the Nonremovable Battery bit is set in Misc Configuration DF 0x2a
and when a discharge current is detected or when SBS AverageCurrent() is less than the ClearFailCurrent
DF 0x61-0x62 for FaultResetTime DF 0x130.
• Overtemperature: During charging, an overtemperature condition exists when Temperature() is greater than
the Charge Suspend Temp High value programmed in DF 0x6d, 0x6e. On detecting an overtemperature
condition, if enabled by the OT bit in Misc Configuration DF 0x2a, the bq2084-V143 turns off the Charge and
Discharge FETs. The overtemperature condition is cleared when Temperature() is equal to or below Charge
Suspend Temp High Reset (DF 0x6f -0x70). The condition is also cleared if the pack is removed.
• Undertemperature: During charging, an undertemperature condition exists when Temperature() is less than
the Charge Suspend Temp Low in DF 0x79 or Charge Inhibit Temp Low in DF 0x46. On detecting an
undertemperature condition the bq2084-V143 turns off the Charge FET. The undertemperature condition is
cleared when Temperature() is greater than Charge Suspend Temp Low DF 0x79. The condition is also
cleared if the pack is removed. The maximal value of Charge Suspend Temp Low setting is 12.7°C.
• Charging exceeds Max Charging Time in DF 0x10f-0x110. If charging time reaches DF: Max Charge Time,

Cell or Pack Overvoltage: An overvoltage condition exist when any cell is greater than Cell Over Voltage
Limit in DF 0x63-0x64 or if Voltage() is greater than Charging Voltage in 0x3a-0x3b plus OvervoltageMargin
in 0x5d-05e. This condition is cleared when the pack is removed or if the Nonremovable Battery bit is set in
Misc Configuration DF 0x2a and when a discharge current is detected or when SBS AverageCurrent() is
less than the ClearFailCurrent DF 0x61-0x62 for FaultResetTime DF 0x130. Also, the overvoltage condition
must be cleared by Voltage() less than Charging Voltage in 0x3a-0x3b plus OvervoltageMargin in 0x5d-05e
and all cell voltages less than Cell Over Voltage Reset in DF 0xe0-0xe1.
Charging is also temporarily suspended during pulse-charging, but this is not considered a fault condition.
Pulse Charge
The bq2084-V143 is capable of charge control using a pulse-charging algorithm, which allows for charge control
in systems where the charger does not control current.
The pulse-charging algorithm uses voltage thresholds and associated time limits for control. These are stored as
constants in data flash. The cell voltages are read by the a/d converter every 125 ms during charging. The
voltage used for comparison to the thresholds is the highest cell voltage. These thresholds are set by three data
flash constants: Von Charge Voltage, Voff Charge Voltage, and Vmax Charge Voltage. Von is the lowest of
these, and is the threshold below which the charge FET is turned on, provided the minimum off time (Pulse
Minimum Off Time) has been met. When the voltage crosses the Voff threshold, the maximum on time (Pulse
Maximum On Time) begins to count down. When this time has expired, the charge FET is turned off. Any time
Vmax is exceeded, the charge FET is turned off immediately.
The rules are:
1. If charge FET is on:
a. If voltage above Vmax, turn off.
b. Else if voltage above Voff and max on time expired, turn off.
c. Else count down max on time.
2. If charge FET is off:
a. If voltage below Von and minimum off time, turn on.
b. Else increment off time.
Voltage is sampled every 125 ms; therefore, the minimum off time and maximum on time are in units of 125ms,
and pulse on and off times are integral multiples of 125 ms.
The voltage thresholds can be chosen in such a way that they alter the charge mechanism. If Voff is set equal to
Vmax, then every time this threshold is crossed, the charge FET turns off immediately. This effectively disables
the maximum charge time, so that the Voff threshold has no effect. In this case, the algorithm can be described
as having two voltage thresholds, rather than three. The charge FET simply turns on and off as it crosses the
two thresholds.
The minimum off time can be similarly disabled by setting it to zero or one. Due to the sample interval, the
charge FET always is off for at least one 125-ms cycle.
Thresholds must be chosen carefully to get the desired charging behavior. For example, if Von is set below
charge voltage minus taper voltage, the pack can never detect full charge. During pulse charging, the charge
FET remains off until the cells relax to below the Von voltage, which is below the qualification voltage for full
charge detection.
During cycle phase of pulse charging (charge FET ON), the voltage can exceed Voff value for a period of 125ms
until next sample is taken and FET is switched OFF. To prevent cell overvoltage termination, or pack
overvoltage termination during this period, values for cell OV should be set larger than voltage reached during
this period. Reasonable value of cell OV for given charger current I can be calculated, assuming cell impedance
of 0.08 Ω/cell, as V(cell)OV > Von + 0.08 × I.
Correspondingly, the pack overvoltage margin should be set as V(margin) > V(cell)OV x n - V(charge)
where: n = number of series cells.

SLUS732 – SEPTEMBER 2006
When charging begins on a depleted battery pack, the voltage is below Voff, and may even stay below Von for
some time. This means the pack is under constant charge, with no pulsing, for some part of the charge cycle. As
the voltage on the cells rises, it crosses the Voff threshold (or the Vmax threshold if Voff is disabled), and the
charge FET turns off. Initially, the off time is short, because the cells are only barely over the threshold and is
quickly relaxed to below Von. As the cell voltages rises, the off times become longer and the on times shorter.
This effect, in combination with the reduced current drawn by the cells, results in a gradually declining charge
current. Eventually, this current falls below the taper current, and the pack detects the full charge condition and
stops charging.
The pulse-charging control operates during normal charging conditions and are overridden in case of a fault
condition. Charging is stopped for any fault conditions which may occur, such as overtemperature or
overcurrent, without regard to the voltage thresholds or time limits.
Primary Charge Termination
The bq2084-V143 terminates charge if it detects a charge-termination condition based on current taper. A
charge-termination condition includes the following:
The bq2084-V143 detects a current taper termination when the pack voltage is greater than Charging
Voltage (DF 0x3a-0x3b) minus Current Taper Qualification Voltage (DF 0x4d-0x4e) and the
AverageCurrent() is below the Current Taper Threshold (DF 0x4b-0x4c), but greater than the Charge
Detection Current in DF 0x113-0x114, for a period of Current Taper Window (DF 0x4f).
Once the bq2084-V143 detects a Primary Charge Termination, the bq2084-V143 sets the
TERMINATE_CHARGE_ ALARM and FULLY_CHARGED bits in BatteryStatus(), and turns off the charge
FET via the bq29312. The charge FET is turned on when discharge current is detected and is greater than
Discharge Detection Current (DF 0x115-0x116), to minimize IR losses. The TERMINATE_CHARGE_
ALARM is cleared if charge current is no longer detected or the pack is removed, but returns if charging is
attempted while the FULLY_CHARGED bit is set.
The bq2084-V143 clears the FULLY_CHARGED and TERMINATE_CHARGE_ALARM bit when
RelativeStateOfCharge() is less than the programmed Fully Charged Clear %. See Table 13 for a summary
of BatteryStatus() alarm and status bit operation.
Cell Balancing
The bq2084-V143 balances the cells during charge by discharging those cells above the threshold set in Cell
Balance Threshold DF 0xe8-0xe9, if the maximum difference in cell voltages exceeds the value programmed in
Cell Balance Min DF 0xec. For cell balancing, the bq2084-V143 measures the cell voltages at an interval set in
Cell Balance Interval DF 0xed. On the basis of the cell voltages, the bq2084-V143 either selects the appropriate
cell to discharge or adjusts the cell balance threshold up by the value programmed in Cell Balance Window
0xea-0xeb when all cells exceed the cell balance threshold or the highest cell exceeds the cell balance threshold
by the cell balance window.
Cell balancing only occurs when charging current is detected and the cell balance threshold is reset to the value
in Cell Balance Threshold at the start of every charge cycle. The threshold is only adjusted once during any
balance interval.
If the cells are severely imbalanced during charging, where VCELL(MAX) - VCELL(MIN) > Cell Imbalance Threshold
AND SBS. Current()> Balance IMAX for a period of Cell Imbalance time then the CIM bit in PF Status is set.

DISPLAY PORT
General
The display port drives a 3-, 4-, or 5-LED bar-graph display. The display is activated by a logic signal on the
DISP input. The bq2084-V143 can display RM in either a relative or absolute mode with each LED representing
a percentage of the full-battery reference. In relative mode, the bq2084-V143 uses FCC as the full-battery
reference; in absolute mode, it uses Design Capacity (DC). The DMODE bit in Pack Configuration DF 0x28
programs the bq2084-V143 for the absolute or relative display mode. The LED bits program the 3-, 4-, or 5-LED
option.
Activation
The display may be activated at any time by a high-to-low transition on the DISP input. This is usually
accomplished with a pullup resistor and a pushbutton switch. Detection of the transition activates the display and
starts a 4-s display timer. Reactivation of the display requires that the DISP input return to a logic-high state and
then transition low again. The second high-to-low transition can be detected only after the display timer expires.
If unused, the DISP input must be pulled up to VCC. If the EDV0 bit is set, the bq2084-V143 disables the LED
display.
Display Modes
In relative mode, each LED output represents 20%, 25%, or 33% of the RelativeStateOfCharge() value. In
absolute mode, each LED output represents 20%, 25% or 33% of the AbsoluteStateOfCharge() value. Table 7
shows the display options for 5 LEDs, for 4 LEDs, Table 8 and Table 9 for 3 LEDs. In either mode, the
bq2084-V143 blinks the LED display if RemainingCapacity() is less than Remaining CapacityAlarm(). The
display is disabled if EDV0 = 1.

LI-ION PROTECTION
The bq2084-V143 along with the bq29312 provides protection for Li-ion batteries, as shown in Table 10. The
bq2084-V143 measures temperature and current and uses the bq29312 to measure individual cell voltage. The
bq2084-V143 uses this information to determine protection requirements and control the safety FETs or SAFE
output as necessary. It is recommended that the bq2084-V143 protection control be validated by two successive
measurements by setting VOD=1 in Misc Configuration.
The bq29312 can independently detect and protect the load from an overload (OL) or short circuit in charge
(SCC) or discharge (SCD). The bq29312 sets the appropriate FET state and then alerts the bq2084-V143 with
the XALERT output whenever a protection threshold is breached and its associated delay time has expired. The
bq2084-V143 then determines if and when the FETs should be turned back on.

Protection Configuration
1st Level Cell Voltage Thresholds
The cell undervoltage (VUV) and overvoltage (VOV) limits are programmed in Cell Under Voltage and Cell Over
Voltage DF 0x65-0x66, DF 0x63-0x64, respectively. Both values are stored in mV. Cell Over Voltage Reset DF
0xe0-0xe1 and Cell Under Voltage Reset 0xe2-0xe3 set the reset points in mV for these safety parameters.
Safety Overvoltage Threshold
The safety voltage threshold is programmed in Safety Over Voltage DF 0x6b-0x6c. It is stored in mV. Exceeding
the Safety Voltage for a period determined by the MISC Config VOD bit causes permanent failure if enabled by
PFConfig.
Overcurrent Thresholds
Discharge current threshold is programmed in Discharge OC Threshold DF 0x12d-0x12e. The discharge
overcurrent must exist for time programmed in Discharge OC Time DF 0x12f. When a discharge overcurrent
condition is detected the discharge FET is turned off. Similarly, a charge overcurrent is programmed in Charge
OC ThresholdDF 0x12a-0x12b. The charge overcurrent must exist for the time programmed in Charge OC Time
DF 0x12c or Charge OC Time DF 0x12c. When a charge overcurrent condition is detected, the charge FET is
turned off.
Temperature Thresholds
The Safety Over Temperature in Charge (SOTC) threshold is programmed in Safety Over Temperature in
Charge DF 0x75-0x76 and Safety Over Temperature in Discharge (SOTD) threshold is programmed in Safety
Over Temperature in Discharge DF 0x77-0x78.

SOTC is stored as Safety Over Temperature in Charge = SOTC/0.1 (°C) as an unsigned integer
SOTD is stored as Safety Over Temperature in Discharge = SOTD/0.1 (°C) as an unsigned integer. Exceeding
the Safety Temperatures for a period exceeding Over Temperature Time DF 0x162 causes permanent failure if
enabled by PFConfig.
There are also temperature thresholds to disable both charge and discharge FETs and to set the SBS Battery
Status Overtemperature bit. The thresholds are set according to whether discharge or charge is detected. The
Charge Suspend Temp High threshold is stored in DF 0x6d-0x6e with the reset threshold stored in DF
0x6f-0x70. Likewise, the Over Temperature Discharge threshold is stored in DF 0x71-0x72 with the reset
threshold stored in DF 0x73-0x74. If the OT bit in Misc Configuration is set then all temperature protection is
disabled except for Safety Over Temperature.
The Charge Suspend Temp Low threshold (CSTL) is stored in Charge Suspend Temp Low DF 0x79-0x7a and is
stored as Charge Suspend Temp Low = CSTL/0.1 (°C) as a signed integer. A Charge Suspend Temp Low turns
off the charge FET. The maximal value of Charge Suspend Temp Low setting is 12.7 °C.
AFE Configuration
The AFE protection limits are programmed as specified in the bq29312 data sheet.
AFE Over Load DF 0xc5 sets the AFE overload protection threshold.
AFE Over Load Delay DF 0xc6 sets the delay timing for overload protection.
AFE Short Circuit in Charge DF 0xc7 sets the AFE short circuit in charge protection threshold and delay
time.
AFE Short Circuit in Discharge DF 0xc8 sets the AFE short circuit in discharge protection threshold and
delay time.
SMBus command 0x46 can be used to string-read the AFE RAM with the AFE address 0x00 first, if the
bq2084-V143 is not sealed as indicated by bit 5 of PackStatus.

The AFE protection features can also recover automatically after AFE Recovery Time (DF 0x160) if the AFE
Recovery Time is set to a nonzero value. When the protection feature is recovered in this manner, it does not
re-trigger for AFE Hold Off Time (DF 0x161).
AFE Integrity Check
The bq2084-V143 checks the programming of the AFE registers at a period determined by AFE Check Time DF
0xfb. The units of the check period are seconds unless the bq2084-V143 is in sleep mode, in which case the
period is AFE Check Time x Sleep Current Multiplier (DF 0xfd). If the data is not correct, the bq2084-V143
increments an internal counter until it reaches the AFE Fail Limit (DF 0xe4). Setting AFE Check Time to 0
disables this function.
When the internal AFE Fail counter reaches AFE Fail Limit, then the AFE bit in PF Status is set.
AFE Watchdog Fault and Clear
The bq29312 has a feature where the 32-kHz output (CLKOUT, pin 35) of the bq2084-V143 is used to drive its
internal clock. If this clock fails, a fault is declared in the AFE. See the bq29312 data sheet for further details.
The fault is cleared automatically on return of the 32-kHz input via the bq2084-V143 CLKOUT pin.
Permanent Failure Mode (SAFE Output)
The SAFE output of the bq2084-V143 provides an additional level of safety control. The active low safety output
can blow a fuse or control another switch on the basis of temperature, pack-voltage cell-voltage, CHG FET
Failure, severe cell imbalance, or an integrity check of the AFE and Data Flash configuration registers.
The bq2084-V143 can also activate the SAFE output and set the PF Flag based on the PFIN input. If this pin is
low for PFIN Time seconds ±1 s, then the PFIN bit in PF Status is set.
The SAFE output can be driven low in any of the following conditions, and the bq2084-V143 sets the PF Flag
register (DF 0x11e) to 0x66 (011001100). The activation of the SAFE output and the setting of the PF Flag can
be enabled or disabled for different safety option per the PF Config (DF 0x11f) register settings.
The SAFE output and PF Flag register can only be cleared using a series of ManufacturerAccess() commands.

Low-Power Modes
The bq2084-V143 enters sleep mode when the charge and discharge current is less than the threshold
programmed in Sleep Current Threshold DF 0xfc, the SMBus lines are low for at least 2s, and bit 12 of Misc.
Configuration DF 0x2a is set to zero. Additionally, PRES must be pulled high if the NR bit in Misc Config is set to
0. The bq2084-V143 wakes up periodically to monitor voltage and temperature and to apply self-discharge
adjustment. The sleep period is set in Sleep Timer DF 0xfe. The bq2084-V143 wakes up at a period set by
Sleep Current Multiplier DF 0xfd multiplied by Sleep Time to measure current. The bq2084-V143 comes out of
sleep when either of the SMBus lines go high or when the current is measured and it is greater than the Sleep
Current Threshold.
The sleep current threshold, SLP (mA), is stored in Sleep Current Thresh DF 0xfc as:
Sleep Current Thresh = SLP(mA)/0.5
The wake-up period for current measurement, WAT(s), is set using the following formula:
Sleep Current Multiplier x Sleep Time = WAT(s)
During sleep mode, both charge and discharge FETs are turned off if the NR bit in Misc Config is cleared. If the
bq2084-V143 is in Non-Removable mode where NR=1, then the discharge FET retains its state on entry to
sleep.
Shutdown Mode
The bq2084-V143 goes into shutdown, in which all FETs are turned off and the pack electronics are powered
down (including the bq2084-V143), when SBS.Voltage() falls below Shutdown Voltage DF 0x7c-0x7d and
Voltage at the Pack pin is less than VPACK threshold (DF 0x131, 0x132) both for 2 consecutive samples (1 to 2
s).

Vpack is programmed in units of 0.935 mV/count and has tolerance of ±6%. For example, to set 12 V as Vpack
Threshold, the program value should be 12000/0.935 = 12834.
When the DSG FET is turned on, the pack voltage is close to the battery voltage even with no charger attached.
Therefore, to enter shutdown, the Vpack threshold should be set higher than the shutdown threshold plus the
tolerance.
The bq2084-V143 can also be instructed to enter Shutdown mode via the ManufacturerAccess() command.
When the command is sent to the bq2084-V143, the bq29312 is instructed to enter shutdown mode by the
bq2084-V143. This forces the chipset into its lowest power mode. The bq2084-V143 does not issue a shutdown
command to the AFE unless the pack voltage is less than the Vpack Threshold. Program the Vpack threshold
higher than the SBS.Voltage() when ship command is issued. Exit from this mode is only achieved by
application of a charger.
After exiting shutdown mode, the bq2084-V143 does not enter the shutdown mode again until the Shutdown
Timer (DF 0x133, units are seconds) has expired even if the correct conditions are present. After the Shutdown
Timer has expired, the SMBus command or voltage and current conditions enables the bq2084-V143 to enter
shutdown mode.

Reset Conditions
On power up, the entire IC is reset and data is loaded from Data Flash to configure the SBS Data and the
battery management solution. On a partial reset (loss of VCC but RBI holds RAM valid), a limited number of
locations are taken. These actions are the following:
• The AFE registers are rewritten.
• PackStatus() EDV2 flag is cleared.
• BatteryStatus() DISCHARGING flag is cleared.
• The charger and alarm broadcast period is set to 10 seconds between broadcasts.
COMMUNICATION
The bq2084-V143 includes an SMBus communication port. The SMBus interface is a 2-wire bidirectional
protocol using the SMBC (clock) and SMBD (data) pins. The communication lines are isolated from VCC and
may be pulled up higher than VCC. Also, the bq2084-V143 does not pull these lines low if VCC to the part is
zero. The communication ports allow a host controller, an SMBus compatible device, or other processor to
access the memory registers of the bq2084-V143. In this way a system can efficiently monitor and manage the
battery.

bq2084-V143

SLUS732 – SEPTEMBER 2006
SMBus
The SMBus interface is a command-based protocol. A processor acting as the bus master initiates
communication to the bq2084-V143 by generating a start condition. A start condition consists of a high-to-low
transition of the SMBD line while the SMBC is high. The processor then sends the bq2084-V143 device address
of 0001011 (bits 7-1) plus a R/W bit (bit 0) followed by an SMBus command code. The R/W bit (LSB) and the
command code instruct the bq2084-V143 to either store the forthcoming data to a register specified by the
SMBus command code or output the data from the specified register. The processor completes the access with
a stop condition. A stop condition consists of a low-to-high transition of the SMBD line while the SMBC is high.
With SMBus, the most-significant bit (MSB) of a data byte is transmitted first. In some instances, the
bq2084-V143 acts as the bus master. This occurs when the bq2084-V143 broadcasts charging requirements
and alarm conditions to device addresses 0x12 (SBS Smart Charger) and 0x10 (SBS Host Controller.)
SMBus Protocol
The bq2084-V143 supports the following SMBus protocols:
• Read word
• Write word
• Block read
A processor acting as the bus master uses the three protocols to communicate with the bq2084-V143. The
bq2084-V143 acting as the bus master uses the write word protocol.
The SMBD and SMBC pins are open drain and require external pullup resistors. A 1-MΩ pulldown resistor in the
battery pack on SMBC and SMBD is required to ensure the detection of the SMBus off-state, the performance of
automatic offset calibration, and the initiation of the low-power sleep mode when the battery pack is removed.
SMBus Packet Error Checking
The bq2084-V143 supports packet error checking as a mechanism to confirm proper communication between it
and another SMBus device. Packet error checking requires that both the transmitter and receiver calculate a
packet error code (PEC) for each communication message. The device that supplies the last byte in the
communication message appends the PEC to the message. The receiver compares the transmitted PEC to its
PEC result to determine if there is a communication error.
PEC Protocol
The bq2084-V143 can receive or transmit data with or without PEC. Figure 5 shows the communication protocol
for the read word, write word, and read block messages without PEC. Figure 6 includes PEC.
In the read word protocol, the bq2084-V143 receives the PEC after the last byte of data from the host. If the host
does not support PEC, the last byte of data is followed by a stop condition. After receipt of the PEC, the
bq2084-V143 compares the value to its calculation. If the PEC is correct, the bq2084-V143 responds with an
ACKNOWLEDGE (ACK). If it is not correct, the bq2084-V143 responds with a NOT ACKNOWLEDGE (NACK)
and sets an error code. In the write word and block read, the host generates an ACK after the last byte of data
sent by the bq2084-V143. The bq2084-V143 then sends the PEC and the host acting as a master-receiver
generates a NACK and a stop condition.

PEC Calculation
The basis of the PEC calculation is an 8-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC-8) based on the polynomial C(X) =
X8 + X2 + X1 + 1. The PEC calculation includes all bytes in the transmission, including address, command, and
data. The PEC calculation does not include ACKNOWLEDGE, NOT ACKNOWLEDGE, start, stop, and repeated
start bits.
For example, the host requests RemainingCapacity() from the bq2084-V143. This includes the host following the
read word protocol. The bq2084-V143 calculates the PEC based on the following 5 bytes of data, assuming the
remaining capacity of the battery is 1001 mAh.
• Battery Address with R/W = 0: 0x16
• Command Code for RemainingCapacity(): 0x0f
• Battery Address with R/W = 1: 0x17
• RemainingCapacity(): 0x03e9
For 0x160f17e903, the bq2084-V143 transmits a PEC of 0xe8 to the host.
PEC Enable in Master Mode
The PEC for master mode broadcasts to the charger, host, or both can be enabled/disabled with the
combination of the bits HPE and CPE in Pack Configuration DF 0x28.
SMBus On- and Off-State
The bq2084-V143 detects whether the SMBus enters the Off State by monitoring the SMBC and SMBD lines.
When both signals are continually low for at least 2.0 s, the bq2084-V143 detects the Off State. When the
SMBC and SMBD lines go high, the bq2084-V143 detects the On State and can begin communication within 1
ms. One-MΩ pulldown resistors on SMBC and SMBD are recommended for reliable Off State detection.

RemainingCapacityAlarm() (0x01)
Description: Sets or gets the low-capacity threshold value. Whenever the RemainingCapacity() falls below the
low-capacity value, the bq2084-V143 sends AlarmWarning() messages to the SMBus host with the
REMAINING_CAPACITY_ALARM bit set. A low-capacity value of 0 disables this alarm. The bq2084-V143
initially sets the low-capacity value to Remaining Capacity Alarm value programmed in DF 0x02-0x03. The
low-capacity value remains unchanged until altered by the RemainingCapacityAlarm() function. The low-capacity
value may be expressed in either current (mA) or power (10 mWh) depending on the setting of the
BatteryMode() CAPACITY_MODE bit.
Purpose: The RemainingCapacityAlarm() function can be used by systems that know how much power they
require to save their operating state. It enables those systems to more finely control the point at which they
transition into suspend or hibernate state. The low-capacity value can be read to verify the value in use by the
bq2084-V143 low-capacity alarm.

REMAINING_TIME_ALARM bit set. A remaining time value of 0 effectively disables this alarm. The
bq2084-V143 initially sets the remaining time value to the Remaining Time Alarm value programmed in DF
0x00-0x01. The remaining time value remains unchanged until altered by the RemainingTimeAlarm() function.
Purpose: The RemainingTimeAlarm() function can be used by systems that want to adjust when the remaining
time alarm warning is sent. The remaining time value can be read to verify the value in use by the bq2084-V143
RemainingTimeAlarm().

Granularity: Not applicable
Accuracy: See AverageTimeToEmpty().
BatteryMode() (0x03)
Description: Selects the various battery operational modes and reports the battery's mode and requests.
Defined modes include
• Whether the battery capacity information is specified in units of mAh or 10 mWh (CAPACITY_MODE bit)
• Whether the ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() values are broadcast to the smart battery charger
when the CHARGER_MODE bit is set.
• Whether all broadcasts to the smart battery charger and host are disabled
The defined request condition is the battery requesting a conditioning cycle (RELEARN_FLAG).
Purpose: The CAPACITY_MODE bit allows power management systems to best match their electrical
characteristics with those reported by the battery. For example, a switching power supply represents a constant
power load, whereas a linear supply is better represented by a constant current model. The CHARGER_MODE
bit allows a SMBus host or smart battery charger to override the smart battery desired charging parameters by
disabling the bq2084-V143 broadcasts. The RELEARN_FLAG bit allows the bq2084-V143 to request a
conditioning cycle.
SMBus protocol: Read or write word

The BatteryMode() word is divided into two halves, the MSB (bits 8-15) which is read/write and the LSB (bits
0-7) which is read only. The bq2084-V143 forces bits 0-6 to zero and prohibits writes to bit 7.
Table 14 summarizes the meanings of the individual bits in the BatteryMode() word. Specified default values,
where applicable, are noted. INTERNAL_CHARGE_CONTROLLER bit is not used by the bq2084-V143.
PRIMARY_BATTERY_SUPPORT bit is not used by the bq2084-V143.
RELEARN_FLAG bit set indicates that the bq2084-V143 is requesting a capacity relearn cycle for the battery.
The bq2084-V143 sets the RELEARN_FLAG on a full reset and if it detects 20-cycle counts without an FCC
update. The bq2084-V143 clears this flag after a learning cycle has been completed.
CHARGE_CONTROLLER_ENABLED bit is not used by the bq2084-V143. The bq2084-V143 forces this bit to
zero.

ALARM_MODE bit is set to disable the bq2084-V143s ability to master the SMBus and send AlarmWarning()
messages to the SMBus host and the smart battery charger. When set, the bq2084-V143 does not master the
SMBus, and AlarmWarning() messages are not sent to the SMBus host and the smart battery charger for a
period of no more than 60s and no less than 59s. When cleared (default), the smart battery sends the
AlarmWarning() messages to the SMBus host and the smart battery charger any time an alarm condition is
detected.
• The ALARM broadcast does not occur more often than once every 10 s. Whenever the BATTERY_MODE
command is received, the bq2084-V143 resets the bit and starts or restarts a 60-s (nominal) timer. After the
timer expires, the bq2084-V143 automatically enables alarm broadcasts to ensure that the accidental
deactivation of broadcasts does not persist. An SMBus host that does not want the bq2084-V143 to be a
master on the SMBus must therefore continually set this bit at least once per 59 s to keep the bq2084-V143
from broadcasting alarms.
• The ALARM_MODE bit defaults to a cleared state when the bq2084-V143 enters SLEEP mode.
• The condition of the ALARM-MODE bit does not affect the operation or state of the CHARGER_MODE bit,
which is used to prevent broadcasts of ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() to the smart battery
charger. CHARGER_MODE bit enables or disables the bq2084-V143's transmission of ChargingCurrent()
and ChargingVoltage() messages to the smart battery charger. When set, the bq2084-V143 does not
transmit ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() values to the smart battery charger. When cleared, the
bq2084-V143 transmits the ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() values to the smart battery charger.
The CHARGER_MODE bit defaults to a cleared state when the bq2084-V143 enters SLEEP mode.
CAPACITY_MODE bit indicates if capacity information is reported in mA/mAh or 10 mW/10 mWh. When set, the
bq2084-V143 reports capacity information in 10 mW/10 mWh as appropriate. When cleared, the bq2084-V143
reports capacity information in mA/mAh as appropriate. The CAPACITY_MODE bit defaults to a cleared state
when the bq2084-V143 enters SLEEP mode.
The following functions are changed to accept or return values in mA/mAh or 10 mW/10 mWh depending on the
CAPACITY_MODE bit:
• RemainingCapacityAlarm()
• AtRate()
• RemainingCapacity()
• FullChargeCapacity()
• DesignCapacity()
The following functions are calculated on the basis of capacity and may be calculated differently depending on
the CAPACITY_MODE bit:
• AtRateOK()
• AtRateTimeToEmpty()

The bq2084-V143 updates the non-AtRate related register values immediately after changing the state of the
CAPACITY_MODE bit. The AtRate() values are updated after the next AtRate() value is written to the
bq2084-V143 (or after the next 1-s scheduled refresh calculation).
AtRate() (0x04)
Description: The AtRate() function is the first half of a two-function call-set used to set the AtRate value used in
calculations made by the AtRateTimeToFull(), AtRateTimeToEmpty(), and AtRateOK() functions. The AtRate
value may be expressed in either current (mA) or power (10 mW) depending on the setting of the BatteryMode()
CAPACITY_MODE bit.
Purpose: Because the AtRate() function is the first half of a two-function call-set, it is followed by the second
function of the call-set that calculates and returns a value based on the AtRate value and the battery's present
state.
• When the AtRate() value is positive, the AtRateTimeToFull() function returns the predicted time to full charge
at the AtRate value of charge.
• When the AtRate() value is negative, the AtRateTimeToEmpty() function returns the predicted operating time
at the AtRate value of discharge.
• When the AtRate() value is negative, the AtRateOK() function returns a Boolean value that predicts the
battery's ability to supply the AtRate value of additional discharge energy (current or power) for 10 seconds.
The default value for AtRate() is zero.
SMBus protocol: Read or write word

MaxError() (0x0c)
Description: Returns the expected margin of error (%) in the state of charge calculation. For example, when
MaxError() returns 10% and RelativeStateOfCharge() returns 50%, the RelativeStateOfCharge() is more likely
between 50% and 60%. The bq2084-V143 sets MaxError() to 100% on a full reset. The bq2084-V143 sets
MaxError() to 2% on completion of a learning cycle, unless the bq2084-V143 limits the learning cycle to the
+512/-256 mAh maximum adjustment values. If the learning cycle is limited, the bq2084-V143 sets MaxError() to
8% unless MaxError() was already below 8%. In this case, MaxError() does not change. The bq2084-V143
increments MaxError( ) by 1% after four increments of CycleCount() without a learning cycle. If voltage-based
corrections are applied to the coulomb counter, MaxError() is set to 25%.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
ADDITIONAL DATA FLASH PROGRAMMING
The following sections describe the function of each data flash location and how the data is to be stored.
Fundamental Parameters
Sense Resistor Value
The 32-bit CC Delta DF 0xcd-0xd0 corrects the coulomb counter for sense resistor variations. It represents the
gain factor for the coulomb counter. The 16-bit Sense Resistor Gain in DF 0xcb-0xcc scales each integrating
converter conversion to mAh. The Current() related measurement Sense Resistor Gain is based on the
resistance of the series sense resistor. The following formula computes a nominal or starting value for Sense
Resistor Gain from the sense resistor value (in Ω).
Sense Resistor Gain = 306.25/Rs
RSNS Value (mΩ)
Sense Resistor Gain
5
61250
10
30625
20
15312
CC offset
CC offset DF 0xd2-0xd3, contains the offset for the coulomb counter. It is automatically updated when the pack
has met the conditions for sleep, before it enters sleep mode.
DSC offset
DSC offset DF 0xd4, contains the offset for the pack ground reference. It is automatically updated when the
pack has met the conditions for sleep, before it enters sleep mode.
ADC offset
ADC offset DF 0xd5, contains the offset for the a/d converter. It is automatically updated when the pack has
met the conditions for sleep, before it enters sleep mode.
Digital Filter
The desired digital filter threshold, VDF (V), is set by the value stored in Digital Filter DF 0x2c.
Digital Filter = VDF / 290 nV
CELL AND PACK CHARACTERISTICS
Battery Pack Capacity and Voltage
Pack capacity in mAh units is stored in Design Capacity, DF 0x32-0x33. In mAh mode, the bq2084-V143 copies
Design Capacity to DesignCapacity(). In mWh mode, the bq2084-V143 multiplies Design Capacity by Design
Voltage DF 0x04-0x05 to calculate DesignCapacity() scaled to 10 mWh. Design Voltage is stored in mV.
The initial value for Full Charge Capacity, in mAh, is stored in DF 0x36-0x37. Full Charge Capacity is modified
over the course of pack usage to reflect cell aging under the particular use conditions. The bq2084-V143
updates Full Charge Capacity in mAh after a capacity learning cycle.
Remaining Time Alarm and Capacity Alarm
Remaining Time Alarm in DF 0x02-0x03 set the alarm thresholds used in the SMBus command codes 0x01 and
0x02, respectively. Remaining Time Alarm is stored in minutes and Remaining Capacity Alarm in units of mAh or
10 mWh, depending on the BatteryMode() setting.

SLUS732 – SEPTEMBER 2006
Cycle Count Initialization
Cycle Count DF 0x0c-0x0d stores the initial value for the CycleCount() function. It should be programmed to
0x0000.
Cycle Count Threshold
Cycle Count Threshold 0x37-0x38 sets the number of mAh that must be removed from the battery to increment
CycleCount(). Cycle Count threshold is a 16-bit value stored in mAh.
Charge Efficiency
The bq2084-V143 applies the efficiency factor, EFF%, to all charge added to the battery. EFF% is encoded in
Charge Efficiency DF 0x54 according to the following equation:
Charge Efficiency = (EFF% w 2.56-1)

Temperature Limits
The limits described below are extensions to those limits detailed in the safety and charging sections of this data
sheet.
Charge Suspend Temp Low
Charge Suspend Temp Low DF 0x79 sets the lowest temperature, in degrees C/10, at which normal operation is
allowed. If the temperature falls below this limit, the pack goes into a temporary failure state, the charge FET is
turned off, and the MAC status is set to system present. It is cleared when the pack warms, or the pack is
removed.
Charge Inhibit Temp Low
Charge Inhibit Temp Low DF 0x46 inhibits charging by setting ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage() to 0
and turn off the CHG FET. It is programmed in degrees C/10 and the range of -12.8°C to 12.7°C.
Charge Inhibit Temp High
Charge Inhibit Temp High DF 0x47 - 0x48 inhibits charging by setting ChargingCurrent() and ChargingVoltage()
to 0
Charge Suspend Temp High
Charge Suspend Temp High DF 0x6d-0x6e sets the highest temperature, in degrees C/10, at which charging
will be allowed to continue. If this temperature is exceeded during charging, the pack goes into a temporary
failure state, and the MAC status is set to system present. It is cleared when the pack cools below
OverTemperature Charge Reset, or ac adapter is removed, or the pack is removed. Charging can only resume
when the temperature returns to within the charge start temperature limits.
Charge Suspend Temp High Reset
Charge Suspend Temp High Reset DF 0x6f-0x70 sets the temperature, in degrees C/10, at which the pack
recovers from Charge Suspend Temp High fault.
Over Temperature Discharge
Over Temperature Discharge DF 0x71-0x72 sets the highest temperature, in degrees C/10, at which discharging
will be allowed. If the pack exceeds this temperature, charge and discharge FETs are turned off, and MAC
status is set to system present. The pack returns to normal operation when the temperature falls below Over
Temperature Discharge Reset, or if the pack is removed.
Over Temperature Discharge Reset
Over Temperature Discharge Reset DF 0x73-0x74 sets the temperature, in degrees C/10, at which the pack will
recover from Over Temperature Discharge Over temperature will also reset when the pack is removed from the
system if not in the non-removable mode.
Failure Detection Thresholds
Safety OverTemperature Charge
Safety OverTemperature Charge DF 0x75-0x76 sets the temperature, in degrees C/10, above which, during
charging, the pack enters permanent failure, if the XSOTC bit in Permanent Failure Configuration is set.

Safety OverTemperature Discharge
Safety OverTemperature Discharge DF 0x77-0x78 sets the temperature, in degrees C/10, above which, during
discharging, the pack enters permanent failure, if the XSOTD bit in Permanent Failure Configuration is set.
Charge Detection Current
Charge Detection Current DF 0x113-0x114 sets the threshold in milliamperes for detecting charge current. This
is a signed value and is positive. This threshold is used for detecting cross-conduction, and ensuring that charge
termination is not improperly detected due to loss of charging current.
Discharge Detection Current
Discharge Detection Current DF 0x115-0x116 sets the threshold in milliamperes for detecting discharge current.
This is a signed value and is negative. This threshold is used for detecting cross-conduction and determining
that the charge FET should be turned on during discharge to reduce IR losses.
FET Fail Charge Current
FET Fail Charge Current DF 0x125-0x126 sets the threshold in milliamperes for detecting current in a charge
FET which is turned off. This is a signed value and is positive.
FET Fail Discharge Current
FET Fail Discharge Current DF 0x127-0x128 sets the threshold in milliamperes for detecting current in a
discharge FET which is turned off. This is a signed value and is negative.
FET Fail Time
FET Fail Time DF 0x129 sets the time in seconds that current must be detected in a FET which is turned off, in
order to determine that the FET has failed.
Terminate Voltage
Terminate Voltage DF 0x67-0x68, sets the threshold below which the Terminate Discharge Alarm bit is set. The
alarm is cleared when the voltage rises above this threshold, if the CVUV bit in Pack Status is not set.
Offsets and Limits
Temperature offset
Temperature offset DF 0xd6, contains a signed offset for the pack's temperature measurements, in degrees
C/10. It is set at board test during pack calibration.
Board offset
Board offset DF 0xd7, contains a signed offset for the pack's coulomb counter measurements. If used, it is set at
board design time.
Current Deadband
Current Deadband DF 0x7b, sets the threshold in mA below which a current measurement is not detected.
Shutdown Voltage
Shutdown Voltage DF 0x7c-0x7d sets the pack voltage below which the pack's electronics, including the
bq2084-V143, is shut down to conserve power. All FETs are turned off by the AFE.
