DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq27510-G2 system-side
Li-Ion battery fuel gauge is a microcontroller
peripheral that provides fuel gauging for single-cell
Li-Ion battery packs. The device requires little system
microcontroller
firmware
development.
The
bq27510-G2 resides on the system’s main board and
manages an embedded battery (non-removable) or a
removable battery pack.
The bq27510-G2 uses the patented Impedance
Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides
information such as remaining battery capacity
(mAh), state-of-charge (%), run-time to empty (min.),
battery voltage (mV), and temperature (°C).
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27510-G2 requires
only PACK+ (P+), PACK– (P–), and Thermistor (T)
connections to a removable battery pack or
embedded battery.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27510-G2 accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single
Li-based rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such as
state-of-charge (SOC), time-to-empty (TTE) and time-to-full (TTF).
Information is accessed through a series of commands, called Standard Commands. Further capabilities are
provided by the additional Extended Commands set. Both sets of commands, indicated by the general format
Command( ), are used to read and write information contained within the bq27510-G2 control and status
registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the bq27510-G2’s
I2C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development, pack manufacture, or
end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the bq27510-G2 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locations are
accessible during application development. They cannot, generally, be accessed directly during end-equipment
operation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27510-G2’s companion evaluation
software, through individual commands, or through a sequence of data-flash-access commands. To access a
desired data flash location, the correct data flash subclass and offset must be known.
The bq27510-G2 provides 64 bytes of user-programmable data flash memory, partitioned into two 32-byte
blocks: Manufacturer Info Block A and Manufacturer Info Block B. This data space is accessed through a
data flash interface. For specifics on accessing the data flash, see section Manufacturer Information Blocks.
The key to the bq27510-G2’s high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instrument’s proprietary Impedance
Track™ algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create
state-of-charge predictions that can achieve high accuracy across a wide variety of operating conditions and over
the lifetime of the battery.
The bq27510-G2 measures charge/discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series
sense resistor (5 mΩ to 20 mΩ typ.) located between the system’s Vss and the battery’s PACK– terminal. When
a cell is attached to the bq27510-G2, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell open-circuit voltage
(OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27510-G2 can use an NTC thermistor (default is Semitec 103AT) for temperature measurement, or can
also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. The bq27510-G2 uses temperature to monitor the
battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27510-G2 has several power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE,
and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27510-G2 passes automatically between these modes, depending upon the
occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes directly. More details
can be found in Section Power Modes.

DATA COMMANDS
Standard Data Commands
The bq27510-G2 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 1. Because
each command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I2C transmissions must be executed both to
initiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes of data. Additional options for
transferring data, such as spooling, are described in Section, I2C INTERFACE. Standard commands are
accessible in NORMAL operation. Read/Write permissions depend on the active access mode, SEALED or
UNSEALED (for details on the SEALED and UNSEALED states, refer to Section Access Modes.)

DF_CHECKSUM: 0x0004
Instructs the fuel gauge to compute the checksum of the data flash memory. The checksum value is written and
returned to addresses 0x00/0x01 (UNSEALED mode only). The checksum will not be calculated in SEALED
mode; however, the checksum value can still be read.
RESET_DATA: 0x0005
Instructs the fuel gauge to return the reset data to addresses 0x00/0x01, with the low byte (0x00) being the
number of full resets and the high byte (0x01) the number of partial resets.
PREV_MACWRITE: 0x0007
Instructs the fuel gauge to return the previous command written to addresses 0x00/0x01. The value returned is
limited to less than 0x0015.
CHEM_ID: 0x0008
Instructs the fuel gauge to return the chemical identifier for the Impedance Track™ configuration to addresses
0x00/0x01.
BOARD_OFFSET: 0x0009
Instructs the fuel gauge to compute the coulomb counter offset with internal short and then without internal short
applied across the SR inputs. The difference between the two measurements is the board offset. After a delay of
approximately 32 seconds, this offset value is returned to addresses 0x00/0x01 and written to data flash. The
CONTROL STATUS [BCA] is also set. The user must prevent any charge or discharge current from flowing
during the process. This function is only available when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED. When SEALED, this
command only reads back the board-offset value stored in data flash.
SET_HIBERNATE: 0x0011
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 1. This allows the gauge to enter
the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to SLEEP power state is detected. The [HIBERNATE] bit is
automatically cleared upon exiting from HIBERNATE mode.
CLEAR_HIBERNATE: 0x0012
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 0. This prevents the gauge from
entering the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to SLEEP power state is detected. It can also be used
to force the gauge out of HIBERNATE mode.
SET_SLEEP+ : 0X0013
Instructs the fuel gauge to set the CONTROL_STATUS [SNOOZE] bit to 1. This enables the SLEEP+ mode. The
gauge enters SLEEP+ power mode after the transition conditions are met.
CLEAR_SLEEP+ MODE: 0X0014
Instructs the fuel gauge to set the CONTROL_STATUS [SNOOZE] bit to 0. This disables the SLEEP+ mode. The
gauge exits from the SLEEP+ power mode after the SNOOZE bit is cleared.
SEALED: 0x0020
Instructs the fuel gauge to transition from UNSEALED state to SEALED state. The fuel gauge should always be
set to SEALED state for use in end equipment.
IT_ENABLE: 0x0021
This command forces the fuel gauge to begin the Impedance Track™ algorithm, sets the bit 2 of UpdateStatus
and causes the [VOK] and [QEN] flags to be set in the CONTROL_STATUS register. [VOK] is cleared if the
voltages are not suitable for a Qmax update. Once set, [QEN] cannot be cleared. This command is only available
when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.

CAL_MODE: 0x0040
This command instructs the fuel gauge to enter calibration mode. This command is only available when the fuel
gauge is UNSEALED.
RESET : 0x0041
This command instructs the fuel gauge to perform a full reset. This command is only available when the fuel
gauge is UNSEALED.
AtRate( ): 0x02/0x03
The AtRate( ) read-/write-word function is the first half of a two-function command set used to set the AtRate
value used in calculations made by the AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function. The AtRate( ) units are in mA.
The AtRate( ) value is a signed integer, with negative values interpreted as a discharge current value. The
AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function returns the predicted operating time at the AtRate value of discharge. The
default value for AtRate( ) is zero and will force AtRate( ) to return 65,535. Both the AtRate( ) and
AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands should only be used in NORMAL mode.
AtRateTimeToEmpty( ): 0x04/0x05
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the battery
is discharged at the AtRate( ) value in minutes with a range of 0 to 65,534. A value of 65,535 indicates AtRate( )
= 0. The fuel gauge updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) within 1 s after the system sets the AtRate( ) value. The fuel
gauge automatically updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) based on the AtRate( ) value every 1s. Both the AtRate( )
and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands should only be used in NORMAL mode.
Temperature( ): 0x06/0x07
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the battery temperature in units of 0.1K measured
by the fuel gauge and has a range of 0 to 6553.5K.
Voltage( ): 0x08/0x09
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the measured cell-pack voltage in mV with a range
of 0 to 6000 mV.
Flags( ): 0x0a/0x0b
This read-word function returns the contents of the gas-gauge status register, depicting the current operating
status.

NominalAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0c/0x0d
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (no load or light load) battery capacity remaining. Units
are mAh.
FullAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0e/0x0f
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (no load or light load) capacity of the battery when fully
charged. Units are mAh. FullAvailableCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified by the IT algorithm.
RemainingCapacity( ): 0x10/0x11
This read-only command pair returns the compensated battery capacity remaining. Units are mAh per bit.
FullChargeCapacity( ): 0x12/13
This read-only command pair returns the compensated capacity of the battery when fully charged. Units are mAh
per bit. FullChargeCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified by the IT algorithm.
AverageCurrent( ): 0x14/0x15
This read-only command pair returns a signed integer value that is the average current flow through the sense
resistor. It is updated every 1 second. Units are mA per bit.
TimeToEmpty( ): 0x16/0x17
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the present
rate of discharge, in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates battery is not being discharged.
TimeToFull( ): 0x18/0x19
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of predicted remaining time until the battery reaches
full charge, in minutes, based upon AverageCurrent( ). The computation accounts for the taper current time
extension from the linear TTF computation based on a fixed AverageCurrent( ) rate of charge accumulation. A
value of 65,535 indicates the battery is not being charged.
StandbyCurrent( ): 0x1a/0x1b
This read-only function returns a signed integer value of the measured standby current through the sense
resistor. The StandbyCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement. Initially it reports the standby current programmed
in Initial Standby, and after spending some time in standby, reports the measured standby current.
The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband (3mA default)
and is less than or equal to 2 x Initial Standby. The first and last values that meet this criteria are not averaged
in, since they may not be stable values. To approximate a 1-minute time constant, each new StandbyCurrent( )
value is computed as follows:
StandbyCurrent( )NEW = (239/256) × StandbyCurrent( )OLD + (17/256) × AverageCurrent( ).
StandbyTimeToEmpty( ): 0x1c/0x1d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the standby
rate of discharge, in minutes. The computation uses Nominal Available Capacity (NAC), the uncompensated
remaining capacity, for this computation. A value of 65,535 indicates battery is not being discharged.

MaxLoadCurrent( ): 0x1e/0x1f
This read-only function returns a signed integer value, in units of mA, of the maximum load conditions. The
MaxLoadCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement which is initially reported as the maximum load current
programmed in Initial Max Load Current. If the measured current is ever greater than Initial Max Load Current,
then MaxLoadCurrent( ) updates to the new current. MaxLoadCurrent( ) is reduced to the average of the
previous value and Initial Max Load Current whenever the battery is charged to full after a previous discharge
to an SOC less than 50%. This prevents the reported value from maintaining an unusually high value.
MaxLoadTimeToEmpty( ): 0x20/0x21
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the maximum
load current discharge rate, in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates that the battery is not being discharged.
AvailableEnergy( ): 0x22/0x23
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted charge or energy remaining in the
battery. The value is reported in units of 10mWh.
AveragePower( ): 0x24/0x25
This read-only function returns a signed integer value of the average power of the current discharge. It is
negative during discharge and positive during charge. A value of 0 indicates that the battery is not being
discharged. The value is reported in units of mW.
TimeToEmptyAtConstantPower( ): 0x26/0x27
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the battery
is discharged at the AveragePower( ) value in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates AveragePower( ) = 0. The
fuel gauge automatically updates TimeToEmptyatContantPower( ) based on the AveragePower( ) value every
1 s.
CycleCount( ): 0x2a/0x2b
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the number of cycles the battery has experienced
with a range of 0 to 65,535. One cycle occurs when accumulated discharge ≥ CC Threshold.
StateOfCharge( ): 0x2c/0x2d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery capacity expressed
as a percentage of FullChargeCapacity( ), with a range of 0 to 100%.

SLUS948 – AUGUST 2010
ApplicationStatus( ): 0x6a
This byte function allows the system to read the bq27510-G2 Application Status data flash location. Refer to
Table 6 for specific bit definitions.
Reserved – 0x6b – 0x7f
DATA FLASH INTERFACE
Accessing the Data Flash
The bq27510-G2 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27510-G2 initialization, default, cell status,
calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different ways,
depending on what mode the bq27510-G2 is operating in and what data is being accessed.
Commonly accessed data flash memory locations, frequently read by a system, are conveniently accessed
through specific instructions, already described in Section Data Commands. These commands are available
when the bq27510-G2 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27510-G2
evaluation software or by data flash block transfers. These locations should be optimized and/or fixed during the
development and manufacture processes. They become part of a golden image file and can then be written to
multiple battery packs. Once established, the values generally remain unchanged during end-equipment
operation.
To access data flash locations individually, the block containing the desired data flash location(s) must be
transferred to the command register locations, where they can be read to the system or changed directly. This is
accomplished by sending the set-up command BlockDataControl( ) (0x61) with data 0x00. Up to 32 bytes of data
can be read directly from the BlockData( ) (0x40…0x5f), externally altered, then rewritten to the BlockData( )
command space. Alternatively, specific locations can be read, altered, and rewritten if their corresponding offsets
are used to index into the BlockData( ) command space. Finally, the data residing in the command space is
transferred to data flash, once the correct checksum for the whole block is written to BlockDataChecksum( )
(0x60).
Occasionally, a data flash CLASS will be larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the DataFlashBlock( )
command is used to designate which 32-byte block the desired locations reside in. The correct command
address is then given by 0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Terminate Voltage in the Gas
Gauging class, DataFlashClass( ) is issued 80 (0x50) to set the class. Because the offset is 48, it must reside in
the second 32-byte block. Hence, DataFlashBlock( ) is issued 0x01 to set the block offset, and the offset used to
index into the BlockData( ) memory area is 0x40 + 48 modulo 32 = 0x40 + 16 = 0x40 + 0x10 = 0x50.
Reading and writing subclass data are block operations up to 32 bytes in length. If during a write the data length
exceeds the maximum block size, then the data is ignored.
None of the data written to memory are bounded by the bq27510-G2– the values are not rejected by the fuel
gauge. Writing an incorrect value may result in hardware failure due to firmware program interpretation of the
invalid data. The written data is persistent, so a power-on reset does resolve the fault.
MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS
The bq27510-G2 contains 64 bytes of user programmable data flash storage: Manufacturer Info Block A and
Manufacturer Info Block B. The method for accessing these memory locations is slightly different, depending
on whether the device is in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
When in UNSEALED mode, and when 0x00 has been written to BlockDataControl( ), accessing the Manufacturer
Info Blocks is identical to accessing general data flash locations. First, a DataFlashClass( ) command is used to
set the subclass, then a DataFlashBlock( ) command sets the offset for the first data flash address within the
subclass. The BlockData( ) command codes contain the referenced data flash data. When writing the data flash,
a checksum is expected to be received by BlockDataChecksum( ). Only when the checksum is received and
verified is the data actually written to data flash.

As an example, the data flash location for Manufacturer Info Block B is defined as having a Subclass = 58 and
an Offset = 32 through 63 (32 byte block). The specification of Class = System Data is not needed to address
Manufacturer Info Block B, but is used instead for grouping purposes when viewing data flash info in the
bq27510-G2 evaluation software.
When in SEALED mode or when 0x01 BlockDataControl( ) does not contain 0x00, data flash is no longer
available in the manner used in UNSEALED mode. Rather than issuing subclass information, a designated
Manufacturer Information Block is selected with the DataFlashBlock( ) command. Issuing a 0x01, 0x02, or 0x03
with this command causes the corresponding information block (A, B, or C, respectively) to be transferred to the
command space 0x40…0x5f for editing or reading by the system. Upon successful writing of checksum
information to BlockDataChecksum( ), the modified block is returned to data flash. Note: Manufacturer Info
Block A is read-only when in SEALED mode.
ACCESS MODES
The bq27510-G2 provides three security modes (FULL ACCESS, UNSEALED, and SEALED) that control data
flash access permissions according to Table 6. Public Access refers Data flash to those data flash locations,
specified in Table 7, that are accessible to the user. Private Access refers to reserved data flash locations used
by the bq27510-G2 system. Care should be taken to avoid writing to Private data flash locations when
performing block writes in Full Access mode, by following the procedure outlined in ACCESSING THE
DATAFLASH.

Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS mode allows the
bq27510-G2 to write access-mode transition keys.
SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27510-G2 implements a key-access scheme to transition between SEALED, UNSEALED, and
FULL-ACCESS modes. Each transition requires that a unique set of two keys be sent to the bq27510-G2 via the
Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being written to the
Control( ) register in between. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from the codes presented in
the CNTL DATA column of Table 2 subcommands.
When in SEALED mode the [SS] bit of CONTROL_STATUS is set, but when the UNSEAL keys are correctly
received by the bq27510-G2, the [SS] bit is cleared. When the full-access keys are correctly received then the
CONTROL_STATUS [FAS] bit is cleared.
Both the sets of keys for each level are 2 bytes each in length and are stored in data flash. The UNSEAL key
(stored at Unseal Key 0 and Unseal Key 1) and the FULL-ACCESS key (stored at Full Access Key 0 and Full
Access Key 1) can only be updated when in FULL-ACCESS mode. The order of the bytes entered through the
Control( ) command is the reverse of what is read from the part. For example, if the 1st and 2nd word of the
UnSeal Key 0 returns 0x1234 and 0x5678, then Control( ) should supply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

SLUS948 – AUGUST 2010
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FUEL GAUGING
The bq27510-G2 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27510-G2 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5 mΩ
to 20 mΩ typ.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge passing through
the battery, the battery’s SOC is adjusted during battery charge or discharge.
The total battery capacity is found by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with the
amount of charge passed. When an application load is applied, the impedance of the cell is measured by
comparing the OCV obtained from a predefined function for present SOC with the measured voltage under load.
Measurements of OCV and charge integration determine chemical state of charge and chemical capacity
(Qmax). The initial Qmax values are taken from a cell manufacturers' data sheet multiplied by the number of
parallel cells. It is also used for the value in Design Capacity. The bq27510-G2 acquires and updates the
battery-impedance profile during normal battery usage. It uses this profile, along with SOC and the Qmax value,
to determine FullChargeCapacity( ) and StateOfCharge( ), specifically for the present load and temperature.
FullChargeCapacity( ) is reported as capacity available from a fully charged battery under the present load and
temperature until Voltage( ) reaches the Term Voltage. NominalAvailableCapacity( ) and FullAvailableCapacity( )
are the uncompensated (no or light load) versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( )
respectively.
The bq27510-G2 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warns when the battery’s SOC has fallen
to critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold, specified in SOC1 Set
Threshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared once RemainingCapacity( ) rises
above SOC1 Set Threshold. The bq27510-G2’s BAT_LOW pin automatically reflects the status of the [SOC1]
flag. All units are in mAh.
When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the second capacity threshold, SOCF Set Threshold, the [SOCF] (State
of Charge Final) flag is set, serving as a final discharge warning. If SOCF Set Threshold = –1, the flag is
inoperative during discharge. Similarly, when RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOCF Clear Threshold and the
[SOCF] flag has already been set, the [SOCF] flag is cleared. All units are in mAh.
IMPEDANCE TRACK™ VARIABLES
The bq27510-G2 has several data flash variables that permit the user to customize the Impedance Track™
algorithm for optimized performance. These variables are dependent upon the power characteristics of the
application as well as the cell itself.
Load Mode
Load Mode is used to select either the constant-current or constant-power model for the Impedance Track™
algorithm as used in Load Select (see Load Select). When Load Mode is 0, the Constant Current Model is
used (default). When Load Mode is 1, the Constant Power Model is used. The [LDMD] bit of
CONTROL_STATUS reflects the status of Load Mode.

Dsg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27510-G2 to determine if actual discharge current
is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is 60 mA which should be sufficient for most
applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal application load current but high
enough to prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.
Chg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27510-G2 to determine if actual charge current is
flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is 75 mA which should be sufficient for most
applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal charge current but high enough to
prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.

Quit Current, Dsg Relax Time, Chg Relax Time, and Quit Relax Time
The Quit Current is used as part of the Impedance Track™ algorithm to determine when the bq27510-G2 enters
relaxation mode from a current flowing mode in either the charge direction or the discharge direction. The value
of Quit Current is set to a default value of 40 mA and should be above the standby current of the system.
Either of the following criteria must be met to enter relaxation mode:
1. | AverageCurrent( ) | < | Quit Current | for Dsg Relax Time
2. | AverageCurrent( ) | > | Quit Current | for Chg Relax Time
After about 30 minutes in relaxation mode, the bq27510-G2 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An
additional requirement of dV/dt 4 mV/sec is required for the bq27510-G2 to perform Qmax updates. These
updates are used in the Impedance Track™ algorithms. It is critical that the battery voltage be relaxed during
OCV readings to and that the current is not be higher than C/20 when attempting to go into relaxation mode.
Quit Relax Time specifies the minimum time required for AverageCurrent( ) to remain above the QuitCurrent
threshold before exiting relaxation mode.
Qmax 0 and Qmax 1
Generically called Qmax, these dynamic variables contain the respective maximum chemical capacity of the
active cell profiles, and are determined by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with the
amount of charge passed. They also correspond to capacity at very low rate of discharge, such as C/20 rate. For
high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27510-G2 during operation. Based on the battery cell
capacity information, the initial value of chemical capacity should be entered in the Qmax n field for each default
cell profile. The Impedance Track™ algorithm updates these values and maintains them in the associated actual
cell profiles.
Update Status 0, Update Status 1
Bit 0 (0x01) of the Update Status n registers indicates that the bq27510-G2 has learned new Qmax parameters
and is accurate. The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 0 is a status flag that can be set by the bq27510-G2
although a user can modify it. Bit 0 should never be modified except when creating a golden image file as
explained in the application note Preparing Optimized Default Flash Constants for specific Battery Types
(SLUA334.pdf). Bit 0 is updated as needed by the bq27510-G2.
Avg I Last Run
The bq27510-G2 logs the current averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It stores this
average current from the previous discharge cycle in this register. This register should never need to be
modified. It is only updated by the bq27510-G2 when required.
Avg P Last Run
The bq27510-G2 logs the power averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It stores this
average power from the previous discharge cycle in this register. To get a correct average power reading the
bq27510-G2 continuously multiplies instantaneous current times Voltage( ) to get power. It then logs this data to
derive the average power. This register should never need to be modified. It is only updated by the bq27510-G2
when required.
Delta Voltage
The bq27510-G2 stores the maximum difference of Voltage( ) during short load spikes and normal load, so the
Impedance Track™ algorithm can calculate remaining capacity for pulsed loads. It is not recommended to
change this value.
Batt Insert Delay, Sleep Insert Delay
The Batt Insert Delay setting delays the bq27510-G2 detection process after battery insertion. Sleep Insert Delay
specifies the delay before the gauge enters Sleep Mode after battery insertion. For proper operation, set Sleep
Insert Delay greater than Batt Insert Delay. For example, with Batt Insert Delay = 10 ≤ (10,000ms) and Sleep
Insert Delay = 15 s, the bq27510-G2 does not enter SLEEP mode before 5 seconds after the battery detection.

architecture of the end application. Each variation has been assigned a pin function code, or PFC.
When the PFC is set to 0, the bq27510-G2 measures battery temperature under all conditions.

SLUS948 – AUGUST 2010
A PFC of 1 is like a PFC of 0, except the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is used to signal temperature thresholds during
charge. If charging temperature falls outside of the preset range defined in data flash, a charger can be disabled
via the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin, until cell temperature recovers. See Charge Inhibit for additional details.
Finally when the PFC is set to 2, the battery thermistor can be shared between the fuel gauge and the charger.
The charger has full usage of the thermistor during battery charging, while the fuel gauge uses the thermistor
exclusively during discharge and battery relaxation. Thus temperature is not measured during charge. Note that
removing the battery while charging will not result in BAT_DET clearing if PFC = 2.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.
BAT_LOW/BAT_GD Pin
The BAT_LOW/BAT_GD is a multiplex pin. The function is defined by [BAT_FN] as a system processor with an
electrical indicator of battery status. It the BAT_LOW function is activated, the signaling on the multiplexed pin
follows the status of the [SOC1] bit in the Flags( ) register. Note that the polarity of the pin output can be inverted
via the [BATL_POL] bit of the Operation Configuration.
The bq27510-G2 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargers or
other ICs and application circuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into the system, there
should be no charging or discharging current higher than C/20, so that an accurate OCV can be read. The OCV
is used for helping determine which battery profile to use, as it constitutes part of the battery impedance
measurement.
When a battery is inserted into a system, the Impedance Track™ algorithm requires that no charging of the
battery takes place and that any discharge is limited to less than C/20—these conditions are sufficient for the fuel
gauge to take an accurate OCV reading. To disable these functions, the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is merely set
high (floating output pulled high). Once an OCV reading has be made, the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is pulled low,
thereby enabling battery charging and regular discharge of the battery. The Operation Configuration
[BATG_POL] bit can be used to set the polarity of the battery good signal, should the default configuration need
to be changed.
The flowchart of Figure 2 details how the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin functions in the context of battery insertion and
removal, as well as NORMAL vs. SLEEP modes when [BAT_FN] is set.
In PFC 1, the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27510-G2 reads
battery temperatures outside the range defined by [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High]. The
BAT_LOW/BAT_GD line is returned to "low" once temperature falls within the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low
+ Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].
Battery Detection using the BI/TOUT Pin
During power-up or hibernate activities, or any other activity where the bq27510-G2 needs to determine whether
a battery is connected or not, the fuel gauge applies a test for battery presence. First, the BI/TOUT pin is put into
high-Z status. The weak 1.8MΩ pull-up resistor will keep the pin high while no battery is present. When a battery
is inserted (or is already inserted) into the system device, the BI/TOUT pin will be pulled low. This state is
detected by the fuel gauge, which polls this pin every second when the gauge has power. A battery-disconnected
status is assumed when the bq27510-G2 reads a thermistor voltage that is near 2.5V.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The bq27510-G2 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperature status
information to the fuel gauging algorithm and charger-control sections of the gauge. Alternatively, it can also
measure internal temperature via its on-chip temperature sensor, but only if the [TEMPS] bit of Operation
Configuration register is cleared.
Regardless of which sensor is used for measurement, a system processor can request the current battery
temperature by calling the Temperature( ) function (see Standard Data Commands, for specific information).

The recommended thermistor circuit uses an external 103AT-type thermistor. Additional circuit information for
connecting this thermistor to the bq27510-G2 is shown in REFERENCE SCHEMATIC.
OVER-TEMPERATURE INDICATION
Over-Temperature: Charge
If during charging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Chg for a period of OT Chg Time and
AverageCurrent( ) > Chg Current Threshold, then the [OTC] bit of Flags( ) is set.
If OT Chg Time = 0 then feature is completely disabled. When Temperature( ) falls to OT Chg Recovery, the
[OTC] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
Over-Temperature: Discharge
If during discharging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Dsg for a period of OT Dsg Time, and
AverageCurrent( ) ≤ Dsg Current Threshold, then the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is set.
If OT Dsg Time = 0 then feature is completely disabled.
CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATORS
Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27510-G2 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default value for
this variable is Charging Voltage = 4200mV.
The bq27510-G2 detects charge termination when (1) during 2 consecutive periods of Current Taper Window,
the AverageCurrent( ) is < Taper Current, (2) during the same periods, the accumulated change in capacity >
0.25mAh/ / Current Taper Window, and (3) Voltage( ) > Charging Voltage – Taper Voltage. When this occurs,
the [CHG] bit of Flags( ) is cleared. Also, if the [RMFCC] bit of Operation Configuration is set, and
RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
Charge Inhibit
When PFC = 1, the bq27510-G2 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above
predefined thresholds (Charge Inhibit Temp Low and Charge Inhibit Temp High, respectively). In this mode,
the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD line is made high to indicate this condition, and is returned to its low state, once battery
temperature returns to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp
Hys].
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27510-G2 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27510-G2 will sample the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.
POWER MODES
The bq27510-G2 has four power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE and BAT INSERT CHECK. In
NORMAL mode, the bq27510-G2 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 woken up by communication. Finally,
the BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-power halted, state, where the bq27510-G2 resides
when no battery is inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 3.
NORMAL Mode
The fuel gauge is in NORMAL Mode when not in any other power mode. During this mode, AverageCurrent( ),
Voltage( ) and Temperature( ) measurements are taken, 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.

SLEEP Mode
SLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Operation Configuration [SLEEP]) = 1) and
AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep Current. Once entry into SLEEP mode has been
qualified, but prior to entering it, the bq27510-G2performs an ADC autocalibration to minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27510-G2 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However,
a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27510-G2 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when:
1. AverageCurrent( ) rises above Sleep Current, or
2. a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering the gauge),
Impedance Track™ updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checks for battery
insertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track™ algorithm.
SLEEP+ MODE
Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high frequency oscillator in operation. The
communication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ is entered automatically if the feature is enabled
(CONTROL STATUS [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep Current.
During SLEEP+ mode, the bq27510-G2 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27510-G2 exits SLEEP+ if any entry condition is broken, specifically when:
1. any communication activity with the gauge, or
2. AverageCurrent( ) rises above Sleep Current, or
3. a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
BAT INSERT CHECK Mode
This mode is a halted-CPU state that occurs when an adapter, or other power source, is present to power the
bq27510-G2 (and system), yet no battery has been detected. When battery insertion is detected, a series of
initialization activities begin, which include: OCV measurement, setting the BAT_GD pin, and selecting the
appropriate battery profiles. The setting of BAT_GD pin will experience longer delay (about 2 seconds) if other
power source is not present when battery is inserted.
Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the bq27510-G2 is halted in this mode.
The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting battery insertion.

HIBERNATE Mode
HIBERNATE mode could be used when the system equipment needs to enter a very low-power state, and
minimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when a system equipment is set to its own
HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF modes.
Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the [HIBERNATE] bit of the
CONTROL_STATUS register. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV
measurement and the magnitude of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The gauge can
also enter HIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage. The gauge will remain in
HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge. I2C Communication that is not
directed to the gauge will not wake the gauge (or at least for very long).
It is important that BAT_LOW/BAT_GD be set to disable status (no battery charging/discharging). This prevents
a charger application from inadvertently charging the battery before an OCV reading can be taken. It is the
system’s responsibility to wake the bq27510-G2 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, the
gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)
It is suggested to keep the system in the SLEEP mode instead of HIBERNATE mode when a charger is
attached. The reason is that charger removal will not wake up the battery from HIBERNATE mode.

POWER CONTROL
Reset Functions
When the bq27510-G2 detects a software reset ([RESET] bit of Control( ) initiated), 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.
As shown in Figure 4 if a partial reset was detected, a RAM checksum is generated and compared against the
previously stored checksum. If the checksum values do not match, the RAM is reinitialized (a Full Reset). The
stored checksum is updated every time RAM is altered.

Wake-Up Comparator
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27510-G2 is in SLEEP mode or
HIBERNATE modes. Operation Configuration uses bits [RSNS1–RSNS0] to set the sense resistor selection.
Operation Configuration also uses the [IWAKE] bit to select one of two possible voltage threshold ranges for
the given sense resistor selection. An internal interrupt is generated when the threshold is breached in either
charge or discharge directions. Setting both [RSNS1] and [RSNS0] to 0 disables this feature.

The actual resistance value versus the setting of the sense resistor is not important; just the actual
voltage threshold when calculating the configuration. The voltage thresholds are typical values under
room temperature.
Flash Updates
Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage( ) ≥ Flash Update OK Voltage. Flash programming current can cause
an increase in LDO dropout. The value of Flash Update OK Voltage should be selected such that the
bq27510-G2 Vcc voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4V during Flash write operations.
AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27510-G2 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 when (1) the condition of AverageCurrent( ) ≤ 100mA and (2)
{voltage change since last offset calibration ≥ 256mV} or {temperature change since last offset calibration is
greater than 8°C for ≥ 60s}.
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 32mV during the offset
calibration, the load current has likely increased considerably; hence, the offset calibration will be aborted.
APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
BATTERY PROFILE STORAGE AND SELECTION
Common Profile Aspects
When a battery pack is removed from system equipment that implements the bq27510-G2, the fuel gauge
maintains some of the battery information, in case it is re-inserted. This way the Impedance Track™ algorithm
often has a means of recovering battery-status information, thereby maintaining good state-of-charge (SOC)
estimates.
Two default battery profiles are available to store battery information. They are used to provide the Impedance
Track™ algorithm with the default information on two possible battery types expected to be used with the
end-equipment. These default profiles can be used to support batteries of different chemistry, same chemistry
but different capacities, or same chemistry but different models. Default profiles are programmed by the
end-equipment manufacturer. Note that in the case of bq27510-G2, only one of the default profiles can be
selected, and this selection cannot be changed during end-equipment operation.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27510-G2 maintains two active profiles: Cell0 and Cell1. These tables
hold dynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent batteries used. In most
cases the bq27510-G2 can administrate information on two removable battery packs.

Activities Upon Pack Insertion
First OCV and Impedance Measurement
At power-up the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is inactive, so that the system cannot obtain power from the battery
(this depends on actual implementation). In this state, the battery is put in an open-circuit condition. Next, the
bq27510-G2 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. From the OCV(SOC) table, the SOC
of the inserted battery is found. Then the BAT_LOW/BAT_GD pin is made active, and the impedance of the
inserted battery is calculated from the measured voltage and the load current: Z(SOC) = ( OCV(SOC) – V ) / I.
This impedance is compared with the impedance of the dynamic profiles, Packn, and the default profiles, Defn,
for the same SOC (the letter n depicts either a 0 or 1).
Reading Application Status
The Application Status data flash location contains cell profile status information, and can be read using the
ApplicationStatus( ) Extended Command (0x6a). The bit configuration of this function/location is shown in
Table 13.

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FLOW AND CONTROL
The bq27510-G2 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1
profiles. When a battery pack is inserted for the first time, the default profile is copied into the Packn profiles.
Then the Impedance Track™ algorithm begins gas gauging, regularly updating Packn as the battery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27510-G2 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell
impedance is measured immediately after battery detection. The bq27510-G2 chooses the profile which is
closest to the measured impedance, starting with the Packn profiles. That is, if the measured impedance
matches Pack0, then the Pack0 profile is used. If the measured impedance matches Pack1, then the Pack1
profile is used. If the measured impedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack0 or Pack1, the
battery pack is deemed new (none of the previously used packs). Either Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either
the Pack0 or Pack1 profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile.
