3 Description
The Texas Instruments bq27542-G1 Li-Ion battery
fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that
provides fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion battery
packs.
The
device
requires
little
system
microcontroller firmware development for accurate
battery fuel gauging. The fuel gauge resides within
the battery pack or on the main board of the system
with an embedded battery (non-removable).
The fuel gauge uses the patented Impedance
Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides
information such as remaining battery capacity
(mAh), state-of-charge (%), run-time to empty
(minimum), battery voltage (mV), and temperature
(°C). It also provides detections for internal short or
tab disconnection events.
The fuel gauge also features integrated support for
secure battery pack authentication, using theSHA1/HMAC authentication algorithm.

The bq27542-G1 fuel gauge accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a
single Li-based rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such
as state-of-charge (SOC), time-to-empty (TTE), and time-to-full (TTF).
To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, FULLSLEEP,
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. More details can be
found in Device Functional Modes.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Fuel Gauging
The fuel gauge measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC based on the
Impedance Track algorithm. (Refer to the Theory and Implementation of Impedance Track Battery Fuel-Gauging
Algorithm Application Report [SLUA450] for more information.) The fuel gauge monitors charge and discharge
activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5-mΩ to 20-mΩ, typical) between the SRP and SRN
pins and in series with the cell. By integrating the 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 state of charge and chemical capacity
(Qmax). The initial Qmax values are taken from a cell manufacturers' data sheet multiplied by the number of
parallel cells. It is also used for the value in Design Capacity. The 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.
9.3.2 Impedance Track Variables
The fuel gauge has several data flash variables that permit the user to customize the Impedance Track algorithm
for optimized performance. These variables depend on the power characteristics of the application, as well as the
cell itself.
9.3.3 System Control Function
The fuel gauge provides system control functions that allow the fuel gauge to enter SHUTDOWN mode to poweroff with the assistance of an external circuit or provide interrupt function to the system. Table 1 shows the
configurations for SE and HDQ pins.

HDQ pin is used for communication and HDQ Host Interrupt Feature is available.
9.3.3.1 SHUTDOWN Mode
In SHUTDOWN mode, the SE pin is used to signal external circuit to power-off the fuel gauge. This feature is
useful to shut down the fuel gauge in a deeply discharged battery to protect the battery. By default, SHUTDOWN
mode is in NORMAL state. By sending the SET_SHUTDOWN subcommand or setting the [SE_EN] bit in the
Pack Configuration register, the [SHUTDWN] bit is set and enables the shutdown feature. When this feature is
enabled and [INTSEL] is set, the SE pin can be in NORMAL state or SHUTDOWN state. The SHUTDOWN state
can be entered in HIBERNATE mode (only if HIBERNATE mode is enabled due to low cell voltage). All other
power modes will default the SE pin to NORMAL state. Table 2 shows the SE pin state in NORMAL or
SHUTDOWN mode. The CLEAR_SHUTDOWN subcommand or clearing [SE_EN] bit in the Pack Configuration
register can be used to disable SHUTDOWN mode.
The SE pin will be high impedance at power-on reset (POR); the [SE_POL] does not affect the state of SE pin at
POR. Also, [SE_PU] configuration changes will only take effect after POR. In addition, the [INTSEL] only controls
the behavior of the SE pin; it does not affect the function of [SE] and [SHUTDWN] bits.

By using the INTERRUPT mode, the system can be interrupted based on detected fault conditions, as specified
in Table 5. The SE or HDQ pin can be selected as the interrupt pin by configuring the [INTSEL] bit based on SE
and HDQ pin functions. In addition, the pin polarity and pullup (SE pin only) can be configured according to the

9.4 Device Functional Modes
The fuel gauge has three power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, and HIBERNATE.
• In NORMAL mode the fuel gauge is fully powered and can execute any allowable task.
• In SLEEP mode the fuel gauge exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking measurements and
performing calculations.
• In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in a very low power state, but can be awoken by communication or
certain I/O activity.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 6. Details are described in the sections that follow.

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

Device Functional Modes (continued)
9.4.2 SLEEP Mode
SLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Pack Configuration [SLEEP] = 1) and
AverageCurrent() is below the programmable level Sleep Current. Once entry into SLEEP mode has been
qualified, but prior to entering it, the fuel gauge performs an ADC autocalibration to minimize offset.
While in SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge can suspend serial communications as much as 4 ms by holding the
comm line(s) low. This delay is necessary to correctly process host communication, since the fuel gauge
processor is mostly halted in SLEEP mode.
During the SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The fuel gauge exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when: (1) AverageCurrent() rises above
Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected when the IWAKE comparator is
enabled.
9.4.3 FULLSLEEP Mode
FULLSLEEP mode is entered automatically when the bq27542-G1 is in SLEEP mode and the timer counts down
to 0 (Full Sleep Wait Time > 0). FULLSLEEP mode is entered immediately after entry to SLEEP if Full Sleep
Wait Time is set to 0 and the host sets the [FULLSLEEP] bit in the CONTROL_STATUS register using the
SET_FULLSLEEP subcommand.
During FULLSLEEP mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The gauge exits the FULLSLEEP mode when there is any communication activity. The [FULLSLEEP] bit can
remain set (Full Sleep Wait Time > 0) or be cleared (Full Sleep Wait Time ≤ 0) after exit of FULLSLEEP mode.
Therefore, EVSW communication activity might cause the gauge to exit FULLSLEEP MODE and display the
[FULLSLEEP] bit as clear. The execution of SET_FULLSLEEP to set [FULLSLEEP] bit is required when Full
Sleep Wait Time ≤ 0 in order to re-enter FULLSLEEP mode.
While in FULLSLEEP mode, the fuel gauge can suspend serial communications as much as 4 ms by holding the
comm line(s) low. This delay is necessary to correctly process host communication, since the fuel gauge
processor is mostly halted in SLEEP mode.
The fuel gauge exits FULLSLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when: (1) AverageCurrent() rises
above Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected when the IWAKE comparator
is enabled.
9.4.4 HIBERNATE Mode
HIBERNATE mode should be used for long-term pack storage or when the host system needs to enter a lowpower state, and minimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when the host is set to its
own HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF modes. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a
valid OCV measurement (cell relaxed) and the value of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate
Current. When the conditions are met, the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE due to either low cell voltage or by
having the [HIBERNATE] bit of the CONTROL_STATUS register set. The gauge will remain in HIBERNATE
mode until any communication activity appears on the communication lines and the address is for bq27541. In
addition, the SE pin shutdown mode function is supported only when the fuel gauge enters HIBERNATE due to
low cell voltage.
When the gauge wakes up from HIBERNATE mode, the [HIBERNATE] bit of the CONTROL_STATUS register is
cleared. The host is required to set the bit to allow the gauge to re-enter HIBERNATE mode if desired.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Because the fuel gauge is dormant in HIBERNATE mode, the battery should not be charged or discharged in this
mode, because any changes in battery charge status will not be measured. If necessary, the host equipment can
draw a small current (generally infrequent and less than 1 mA, for purposes of low-level monitoring and
updating); however, the corresponding charge drawn from the battery will not be logged by the gauge. Once the
gauge exits to NORMAL mode, the IT algorithm will take about 3 seconds to re-establish the correct battery
capacity and measurements, regardless of the total charge drawn in HIBERNATE mode. During this period of reestablishment, the gauge reports values previously calculated prior to entering HIBERNATE mode. The host can
identify exit from HIBERNATE mode by checking if Voltage() < Hibernate Voltage or [HIBERNATE] bit is cleared
by the gauge.
If a charger is attached, the host should immediately take the fuel gauge out of HIBERNATE mode before
beginning to charge the battery. Charging the battery in HIBERNATE mode will result in a notable gauging error
that will take several hours to correct. It is also recommended to minimize discharge current during exit from
HIBERNATE.
9.5 Programming
9.5.1 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 6. Each
protocol has specific means to access the data at each Command Code. DataRAM is updated and read by the
gauge only once per second. Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation mode.

9.6 Power Control
9.6.1 Reset Functions
When the fuel gauge detects a software reset by sending [RESET] Control() subcommand, it determines the type
of reset and increments the corresponding counter. This information is accessible by issuing the command
Control() function with the RESET_DATA subcommand.

Power Control (continued)
9.6.2 Wake-Up Comparator
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the fuel gauge is in SLEEP modes.
Pack Configuration uses bits [RSNS1, RSNS0] to set the sense resistor selection. Pack Configuration also
uses the [IWAKE] bit to select one of two possible voltage threshold ranges for the given sense resistor
selection. An internal interrupt is generated when the threshold is breached in either charge or discharge
directions. Setting [RSNS1] and [RSNS0] to 0 disables this feature.

The actual resistance value vs. the setting of the sense resistor is not important just the actual voltage
threshold when calculating the configuration. The voltage thresholds are typical values under room
temperature.
9.6.3 Flash Updates
Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage() ≥ Flash Update OK Voltage. Flash programming current can cause
an increase in LDO dropout. The value of Flash Update OK Voltage should be selected such that the VCC
voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
9.7 Autocalibration
The fuel gauge provides an autocalibration feature that will measure the voltage offset error across SRP and
SRN from time-to-time as operating conditions change. It subtracts the resulting offset error from normal sense
resistor voltage, VSR, for maximum measurement accuracy.
Autocalibration of the ADC begins on entry to SLEEP mode, except if Temperature() is ≤ 5°C or Temperature() ≥
45°C.
The fuel gauge also performs a single offset calibration when: (1) the condition of AverageCurrent() ≤ 100 mA
and (2) {voltage change since last offset calibration ≥ 256 mV} or {temperature change since last offset
calibration is greater than 8°C for ≥ 60 seconds}.
Capacity and current measurements will continue at the last measured rate during the offset calibration when
these measurements cannot be performed. If the battery voltage drops more than 32 mV during the offset
calibration, the load current has likely increased considerably; hence, the offset calibration will be aborted.
9.8 Communications
9.8.1 HDQ Single-Pin Serial Interface
The HDQ interface is an asynchronous return-to-one protocol where a processor sends the command code to
the fuel gauge. With HDQ, the least significant bit (LSB) of a data byte (command) or word (data) is transmitted
first. Note that the DATA signal on pin 12 is open-drain and requires an external pullup resistor. The 8-bit
command code consists of two fields: the 7-bit HDQ command code (bits 0:6) and the 1-bit RW field (MSB bit 7).
The RW field directs the fuel gauge either to:
• Store the next 8 or 16 bits of data to a specified register, or
• Output 8 bits of data from the specified register
The HDQ peripheral can transmit and receive data as either an HDQ master or slave.

SLUSC33 – APRIL 2015
Communications (continued)
HDQ serial communication is normally initiated by the host processor sending a break command to the fuel
gauge. A break is detected when the DATA pin is driven to a logic-low state for a time t(B) or greater. The DATA
pin should then be returned to its normal ready high logic state for a time t(BR). The fuel gauge is now ready to
receive information from the host processor.
The fuel gauge is shipped in the I2C mode. TI provides tools to enable the HDQ peripheral. The SLUA408
application report provides details of HDQ communication basics.
9.8.2 HDQ Host Interruption Feature
The default fuel gauge behaves as an HDQ slave only device when HDQ mode is enabled. If the HDQ interrupt
function is enabled, the fuel gauge is capable of mastering and also communicating to a HDQ device. There is
no mechanism for negotiating who is to function as the HDQ master and care must be taken to avoid message
collisions. The interrupt is signaled to the host processor with the fuel gauge mastering an HDQ message. This
message is a fixed message that will be used to signal the interrupt condition. The message itself is 0x80 (slave
write to register 0x00) with no data byte being sent as the command is not intended to convey any status of the
interrupt condition. The HDQ interrupt function is disabled by default and needs to be enabled by command.
When the SET_HDQINTEN subcommand is received, the fuel gauge will detect any of the interrupt conditions
and assert the interrupt at 1-second intervals until the CLEAR_HDQINTEN command is received or the count of
HDQHostIntrTries has lapsed.
The number of tries for interrupting the host is determined by the data flash parameter named
HDQHostIntrTries.
9.8.2.1 Low Battery Capacity
This feature will work identically to SOC1. It will use the same data flash entries as SOC1 and will trigger

This feature will trigger an interrupt based on the OTC (Over-Temperature in Charge) or OTD (Over-Temperature
in Discharge) condition being met. It uses the same data flash entries as OTC or OTD and will trigger interrupts
as long as either the OTD or OTC condition is met and HDQIntEN = 1.
9.8.3 I2C Interface
The fuel gauge supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, one-byte write quick read, and functions. The
7-bit device address (ADDR) is the most significant 7 bits of the hex address and is fixed as 1010101. The 8-bit
device address is therefore 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

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. The 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 I2C engine releases both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for t(BUSERR). If the fuel gauge was holding
the lines, releasing them frees the master to drive the lines. If an external condition is holding either of the lines
low, the I2C engine enters the low-power sleep mode.
9.8.3.1 I2C Time Out
The I2C engine will release both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for about 2 seconds. If the fuel gauge
was holding the lines, releasing them will free for the master to drive the lines.
9.8.3.2 I2C Command Waiting Time
To make sure the correct results of a command with the 400-kHz I2C operation, a proper waiting time should be
added between issuing command and reading results. For subcommands, the following diagram shows the
waiting time required between issuing the control command the reading the status with the exception of the
checksum command. A 100-ms waiting time is required between the checksum command and reading result. For
read-write standard commands, a minimum of 2 seconds is required to get the result updated. For read-only
standard commands, there is no waiting time required, but the host should not issue all standard commands
more than two times per second. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue due to the expiration of the
watchdog timer.

9.8.3.3 I2C Clock Stretching
I2C clock stretches can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In the SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a
short clock stretch will occur on all I2C traffic as the device must wake-up to process the packet. In NORMAL and
SLEEP+ modes, clock stretching will only occur for packets addressed for the fuel gauge. The timing of stretches
will vary as interactions between the communicating host and the gauge are asynchronous. The I2C clock
stretches may occur after start bits, the ACK/NAK bit and first data bit transmit on a host read cycle. The majority
of clock stretch periods are small (≤ 4 ms) as the I2C interface peripheral and CPU firmware perform normal data
flow control. However, less frequent but more significant clock stretch periods may occur when data flash (DF) is
being written by the CPU to update the resistance (Ra) tables and other DF parameters such as Qmax. Due to
the organization of DF, updates need to be written in data blocks consisting of multiple data bytes.
An Ra table update requires erasing a single page of DF, programming the updated Ra table and a flag. The
potential I2C clock stretching time is 24 ms maximum. This includes 20-ms page erase and 2-ms row
programming time (×2 rows). The Ra table updates occur during the discharge cycle and at up to 15 resistance
grid points that occur during the discharge cycle.
A DF block write typically requires a maximum of 72 ms. This includes copying data to a temporary buffer and
updating DF. This temporary buffer mechanism is used to protect from power failure during a DF update. The
first part of the update requires 20 ms to erase the copy buffer page, 6 ms to write the data into the copy buffer
and the program progress indicator (2 ms for each individual write). The second part of the update is writing to
the DF and requires 44 ms for DF block update. This includes a 20-ms each page erase for two pages and 2-ms
each row write for two rows.
In the event that a previous DF write was interrupted by a power failure or reset during the DF write, an
additional 44-ms maximum DF restore time is required to recover the data from a previously interrupted DF write.
In this power failure recovery case, the total I2C clock stretching is 116 ms maximum.
Another case where I2C clock stretches is at the end of discharge. The update to the last discharge data will go
through the DF block update twice because two pages are used for the data storage. The clock stretching in this
case is 144 ms maximum. This occurs if there has been a Ra table update during the discharge.

10 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.
10.1 Application Information
The bq27542-G1 fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that provides fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion battery
packs. The integrated delta-sigma converters provide accurate, high precision measurements for voltage,
current, and temperature in order to accomplish effective battery gauging. To allow for optimal performance in
the end application, special considerations must be taken to ensure minimization of measurement error through
proper printed circuit board (PCB) board layout and correct configuration of battery characteristics in the fuel
gauge data flash.

Typical Application (continued)
10.2.1 Design Requirements
Several key parameters must be updated to align with a given application's battery characteristics. For highest
accuracy gauging, it is important to follow-up this initial configuration with a learning cycle to optimize resistance
and maximum chemical capacity (Qmax) values prior to sealing and shipping packs to the field. Successful and
accurate configuration of the fuel gauge for a target application can be used as the basis for creating a "golden"
file that can be written to all production packs, assuming identical pack design and Li-Ion cell origin (chemistry,
lot, and so forth). Calibration data can be included as part of this golden file to cut down on battery pack
production time. If going this route, it is recommended to average the calibration data from a large sample size
and use these in the golden file. Ideally, it is recommended to calibrate all packs individually as this will lead to
the highest performance and lowest measurement error in the end application on a per-pack basis. In addition,
the integrated protection functionality should be correctly configured to ensure activation based on the fault
protection needs of the target pack design, or else accidental trip could be possible if using defaults. Table 9,
Key Data Flash Parameters for Configuration, shows the items that should be configured to achieve reliable
protection and accurate gauging with minimal initial configuration.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.2.2.1 BAT Voltage Sense Input
A ceramic capacitor at the input to the BAT 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.
The series resistor between the battery and the BAT input is used to limit current that could be conducted
through the chip-scale package's solder bumps in the event of an accidental short during the board assembly
process. The resistor is not likely to survive a sustained short condition (depends on power rating); however, it
sacrifices the much cheaper resistor component over suffering damage to the fuel gauge die itself.
10.2.2.2 SRP and SRN Current Sense Inputs
The filter network at the input to the coulomb counter is intended to improve differential mode rejection of voltage
measured across the sense resistor. These components should be placed as close as possible to the coulomb
counter inputs and the routing of the differential traces length-matched in order to best minimize impedance
mismatch-induced measurement errors. The single-ended ceramic capacitors should be tied to the battery
voltage node (preferably to a large copper pour connected to the SRN side of the sense resistor) in order to
further improve common-mode noise rejection. The series resistors between the CC inputs and the sense
resistor should be at least 200 Ω in order to mitigate SCR-induced latch-up due to possible ESD events.
10.2.2.3 Sense Resistor Selection
Any variation encountered in the resistance present between the SRP and SRN pins of the fuel gauge will affect
the resulting differential voltage, and derived current, it senses. As such, it is recommended to select a sense
resistor with minimal tolerance and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) characteristics. The standard
recommendation based on best compromise between performance and price is a 1% tolerance, 50 ppm drift
sense resistor with a 1-W power rating.
10.2.2.4 TS Temperature Sense Input
Similar to the BAT pin, a ceramic decoupling capacitor for the TS pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple away
from the high-impedance ADC input, minimizing measurement error. Another helpful advantage is that the
capacitor provides additional ESD protection since most thermistors are handled and manually soldered to the
PCB as a separate step in the factory production flow. As before, it should be placed as close as possible to the
respective input pin for optimal filtering performance.

10.2.2.5 Thermistor Selection
The fuel gauge temperature sensing circuitry is designed to work with a negative temperature coefficient-type
(NTC) thermistor with a characteristic 10-kΩ resistance at room temperature (25°C). The default curve-fitting
coefficients configured in the fuel gauge specifically assume a 103AT-2 type thermistor profile and so that is the
default recommendation for thermistor selection purposes. Moving to a separate thermistor resistance profile (for
example, JT-2 or others) requires an update to the default thermistor coefficients in data flash to ensure highest
accuracy temperature measurement performance.
10.2.2.6 REGIN Power Supply Input Filtering
A ceramic capacitor is placed at the input to the fuel gauge's internal LDO in order to increase power supply
rejection (PSR) and improve effective line regulation. It ensures that voltage ripple is rejected to ground instead
of coupling into the device's internal supply rails.
10.2.2.7 REG25 LDO Output Filtering
A ceramic capacitor is also needed at the output of the internal LDO in order to provide a current reservoir for
fuel gauge load peaks during high peripheral utilization. It acts to stabilize the regulator output and reduce core
voltage ripple inside of the device.
10.2.2.8 Communication Interface Lines
A protection network composed of resistors and zener diodes is recommended on each of the serial
communication inputs to protect the fuel gauge from dangerous ESD transients. The Zener should be selected to
break down at a voltage larger than the typical pullup voltage for these lines but less than the internal diode
clamp breakdown voltage of the device inputs (~6 V). A zener voltage of 5.6 V is typically recommended. The
series resistors are used to limit the current into the Zener diode and prevent component destruction due to
thermal strain once it goes into breakdown. 100 Ω is typically recommended for these resistance values.
10.2.2.9 PACKP Voltage Sense Input
Inclusion of a 2-kΩ series resistor on the PACKP input allows it to tolerate a charger overvoltage event up to
28 V without device damage. The resistor also protects the device in the event of a reverse polarity charger
input, since the substrate diode will be forward biased and attempt to conduct charger current through the fuel
gauge (as well as the high FETs). An external reverse charger input FET clamp can be added to short the DSG
FET gate to its source terminal, forcing the conduction channel off when negative voltage is present at PACK+
input to the battery pack and preventing large battery discharge currents. A ceramic capacitor connected at the
PACKP pin helps to filter voltage into the comparator sense lines used for checking charger and load presence.
In addition, in the Low Voltage Charging State, the minimal circuit elements that are operational are powered
from this input pin and require a stable supply.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The REGIN input pin and the REG25 output pin require low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic
capacitors placed as closely as possible to the respective pins to optimize ripple rejection and provide a stable
and dependable power rail that is resilient to line transients. A 0.1-µF capacitor at the REGIN and a 0.47-µF
capacitor at REG25 will suffice for satisfactory device performance.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
12.1.1 Lithium-Ion Cell Connections
For highest voltage measurement accuracy, it is critical to connect the BAT pin directly to the battery terminal
PCB pad. This avoids measurement errors caused by IR drops when high charge or discharge currents are
flowing. Connecting right at the positive battery terminal with a Kelvin connection ensures the elimination of
parasitic resistance between the point of measurement and the actual battery terminal. Likewise the low current
ground return for the fuel gauge and all related passive components should be star-connected right at the
negative battery terminal. This technique minimizes measurement error due to current-induced ground offsets
and also improves noise performance through prevention of ground bounce that could occur with high current
and low current returns intersecting ahead of the battery ground. The bypass capacitor for this sense line needs
to be placed as close as possible to the BAT input pin.
12.1.2 Sense Resistor Connections
Kelvin connections at the sense resistor are just as critical as those for the battery terminals themselves. The
differential traces should be connected at the inside of the sense resistor pads and not anywhere along the high
current trace path in order to prevent false increases to measured current that could result when measuring
between the sum of the sense resistor and trace resistance between the tap points. In addition, the routing of
these leads from the sense resistor to the input filter network and finally into the SRP and SRN pins needs to be
as closely matched in length as possible else additional measurement offset could occur. It is further
recommended to add copper trace or pour-based "guard rings" around the perimeter of the filter network and
coulomb counter inputs to shield these sensitive pins from radiated EMI into the sense nodes. This prevents
differential voltage shifts that could be interpreted as real current change to the fuel gauge. All of the filter
components need to be placed as close as possible to the coulomb counter input pins.
12.1.3 Thermistor Connections
The thermistor sense input should include a ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close to the TS input pin as
possible. The capacitor helps to filter measurements of any stray transients as the voltage bias circuit pulses
periodically during temperature sensing windows.
12.1.4 High Current and Low Current Path Separation
For best possible noise performance, it is extremely important to separate the low current and high current loops
to different areas of the board layout. The fuel gauge and all support components should be situated on one side
of the boards and tap off of the high current loop (for measurement purposes) at the sense resistor. Routing the
low current ground around instead of under high current traces will further help to improve noise rejection.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
