DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq27500/01 System-Side
Li-Ion Battery Fuel Gauge is a micro-controller
peripheral that provides fuel gauging for single cell
Li-Ion battery packs. The device requires little system
micro-controller
firmware
development.
The
bq27500/01 resides on the system’s main board, and
manages an embedded battery (non-removable) or a
removable battery pack.
The bq27500/01 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 bq27500 requires only
PACK+ (P+), PACK- (P-), and Thermistor (T)
connections to a removable battery pack or
embedded battery circuit. The bq27501 works with
identification resistors in battery packs, to gauge
batteries of different fundamental chemistries and/or
significantly different rated capacities.

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1 control and
status registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the
bq27500/1’s I2C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development,
pack manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the bq27500/1 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash
locations are accessible during application development. They cannot be accessed directly during
end-equipment operation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27500/1'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 bq27500/1 provides 96 bytes of user-programmable data flash memory, partitioned into 3 32-byte
blocks: Manufacturer Info Block A, Manufacturer Info Block B, and Manufacturer Info Block C. This
data space is accessed through a data flash interface. For specifics on accessing the data flash, see
Section 4.3 Manufacturer Information Blocks.
The key to the bq27500/1’s high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instrument’s proprietary
Impedance Track™ algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to
create state-of-charge predictions that can achieve less than 1% error across a wide variety of operating
conditions and over the lifetime of the battery.
The bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell Open
Circuit Voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27500/1 can use an NTC thermistor (default is Semitec 103AT) for temperature measurement, or
can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. The bq27500/1 uses temperature to monitor
the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27500/1 has several power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP,
HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27500/1 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 the Section 5.7 POWER MODES.

4.1 DATA COMMANDS
4.1.1
STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
The bq27500/1 uses a series of 2-byte standard commands to enable system reading and writing of
battery information. Each standard command has an associated command-code pair, as indicated in
Table 4-1. Because each command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I2C transmissions must
be executed both to initiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes of
data. Additional options for transferring data, such as spooling, are described in Section 7.1 I2C
INTERFACE. Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation. Read/Write permissions depend
on the active access mode, SEALED or UNSEALED (for details on the SEALED and UNSEALED states,
see Section 4.4 Access Modes).

Instructs the fuel gauge to compute the coulomb counter offset with internal short and then without internal
short applied across the SR inputs. During this activity, CONROL STATUS [BCA] is set. The difference
between the two measurements is the Board Offset. The Board Offset is written to data flash and is also
returned to addresses 0x00/0x01. 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 will only read back the Board Offset value stored in data flash.
4.1.1.1.9 CC_INT_OFFSET: 0x000A
Instructs the fuel gauge to compute the coulomb counter offset with internal short applied across the SR
inputs. The offset value is written to data flash and is also returned to addresses 0x00/0x01. This function
is only available when the fuel gauge is UNSEALED. When SEALED, this command will only read back
the CC_INT_OFFSET value stored in data flash.
4.1.1.1.10 SET_HIBERNATE: 0x0011
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL STATUS’ [HIBERNATE] bit to 1. This will allow the gauge
to enter the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to SLEEP power state is detected. The
[HIBERNATE] bit is automatically cleared upon exiting from HIBERNATE mode.
4.1.1.1.11 CLEAR_HIBERNATE: 0x0012
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL STATUS’ [HIBERNATE] bit to 0. This will prevent 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.
4.1.1.1.12 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.
4.1.1.1.13 IT ENABLE: 0x0021
This command forces the fuel gauge to begin the Impedance Track™ algorithm, sets the active
UpdateStatus n location to 0x04 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.
4.1.1.1.14 IF CHECKSUM: 0x0022
This command instructs the fuel gauge to compute the instruction flash checksum. When the checksum
has been calculated and stored, then CONTROL STATUS [CVS] is set. In UNSEALED mode, the
checksum value is returned to addresses 0x00/0x01. The checksum will not be calculated in SEALED
mode; however, the checksum value can still be read.

This command instructs the fuel gauge to enter calibration mode. This command is only available when
the fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.1.16 RESET: 0x0041
This command instructs the fuel gauge to perform a full reset. This command is only available when the
fuel gauge is UNSEALED.
4.1.1.2 AtRate( ): 0x02/0x03
The AtRate( ) read-/write-word function is the first half of a two-function command-set used to set the
AtRate value used in calculations made by the AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function. The AtRate( ) units are in
mA.
The AtRate( ) value is a signed integer, and both positive and negative values will be 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 65535.
Both the AtRate( ) and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands should only be used in NORMAL mode.
4.1.1.3 AtRateTimeToEmpty( ): 0x04/0x05
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the
battery is discharged at the AtRate( ) value in minutes with a range of 0 to 65534. A value of 65535
indicates AtRate( ) = 0. The gas gauge updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) within 1s 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.
4.1.1.4 Temperature( ): 0x06/0x07
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the temperature in units of 0.1°K measured
by the gas gauge and has a range of 0 to 6553.5°K.
4.1.1.5 Voltage( ): 0x08/0x09
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the measured cell-pack voltage in mV with a
range of 0 to 6000 mV.
4.1.1.6 Flags( ): 0x0a/0x0b
This read-word function returns the contents of the gas-gauge status register, depicting the current
operating status.

4.1.1.7 NominalAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0c/0x0d
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (no or light load) battery capacity remaining.
Units are mAh per bit.
4.1.1.8 FullAvailableCapacity( ): 0x0e/0x0f
This read-only command pair returns the uncompensated (no or light load) capacity of the battery when
fully charged. Units are mAh per bit. FullAvailableCapacity( ) is updated at regular intervals, as specified
by the IT algorithm.
4.1.1.9 RemainingCapacity( ): 0x10/0x11
This read-only command pair returns the compensated battery capacity remaining. Units are mAh per bit.
4.1.1.10 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.
4.1.1.11 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.
4.1.1.12 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 65535 indicates battery is not being discharged.
4.1.1.13 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 65535 indicates the battery is not being charged.
4.1.1.14 StandbyCurrent( ): 0x1a/0x1b
This read-only function returns a signed integer value of the measured standby current through the sense
resistor. The StandbyCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement. Initially it reports the standby current
programmed in Initial Standby, and after spending 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( ).
4.1.1.15 StandbyTimeToEmpty( ): 0x1c/0x1d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the
standby rate of discharge, in minutes. The computation uses Nominal Available Capacity (NAC), the
uncompensated remaining capacity, for this computation. A value of 65535 indicates battery is not being
discharged.

4.1.1.16 MaxLoadCurrent( ): 0x1e/0x1f
This read-only function returns a signed integer value, in units of mA, of the maximum load conditions.
The MaxLoadCurrent( ) is an adaptive measurement which is initially reported as the maximum load
current programmed in Initial Max Load Current. If the measured current is ever greater than Initial Max
Load Current, then MaxLoadCurrent( ) updates to the new current. MaxLoadCurrent( ) is reduced to the
average of the previous value and Initial Max Load Current whenever the battery is charged to full after
a previous discharge to an SOC less than 50%. This prevents the reported value from maintaining an
unusually high value.
4.1.1.17 MaxLoadTimeToEmpty( ): 0x20/0x21
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at the
maximum load current discharge rate, in minutes. A value of 65535 indicates that the battery is not being
discharged.

This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted charge or energy remaining in
the battery. The value is reported in units of mWh.
4.1.1.19 AveragePower( ): 0x24/0x25
This read-word function returns an unsigned integer value of the average power of the current discharge.
A value of 0 indicates that the battery is not being discharged. The value is reported in units of mW.
4.1.1.20 TimeToEmptyAtConstantPower( ): 0x26/0x27
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if the
battery is discharged at the AveragePower( ) value in minutes. A value of 65535 indicates
AveragePower( ) = 0. The fuel gauge automatically updates TimeToEmptyatContantPower( ) based on the
AveragePower( ) value every 1s.
4.1.1.21 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 65535. One cycle occurs when accumulated discharge ≥ CC Threshold.
4.1.1.22 StateOfCharge( ): 0x2c/0x2d
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery capacity
expressed as a percentage of FullChargeCapacity( ), with a range of 0 to 100%.

4.1.2.1 DesignCapacity( ): 0x3c/0x3d
SEALED and UNSEALED Access: This command returns the theoretical or nominal capacity of a new
pack. The value is stored in Design Capacity and is expressed in mAh. This is intended to be the
theoretical or nominal capacity of a new pack, but has no bearing on the operation of the fuel gauge
functionality.
4.1.2.2 DataFlashClass( ): 0x3e
UNSEALED Access: This command sets the data flash class to be accessed. The class to be accessed
should be entered in hexadecimal.
SEALED Access: This command is not available in SEALED mode.
4.1.2.3 DataFlashBlock( ): 0x3f
UNSEALED Access: This command sets the data flash block to be accessed. When “0x00” is written to
BlockDataControl( ), DataFlashBlock( ) holds the block number of the data flash to be read or written.
Example: writing a 0x00 to DataFlashBlock( ) specifies access to the first 32 byte block and a 0x01
specifies access to the second 32 byte block, and so on.
SEALED Access: This command directs which data flash block will be accessed by the BlockData( )
command. Writing a 0x00 to DataFlashBlock( ) specifies the BlockData( ) command will transfer
authentication data. Issuing a 0x01, 0x02 or 0x03 instructs the BlockData( ) command to transfer
Manufacturer Info Block A, B, or C, respectively.
4.1.2.4 BlockData( ): 0x40…0x5f
UNSEALED Access: This data block is the remainder of the 32 byte data block when accessing data
flash.
SEALED Access: This data block is the remainder of the 32 byte data block when accessing
Manufacturer Block Info A, B, or C.
4.1.2.5 BlockDataChecksum( ): 0x60
UNSEALED Access: This byte contains the checksum on the 32 bytes of block data read or written to
data flash. The least significant byte of the sum of the data bytes written must be complemented ( [255 –
x] , for x the least significant byte) before being written to 0x60.
SEALED Access: This byte contains the checksum for the 32 bytes of block data written to Manufacturer
Info Block A, B, or C. The least significant byte of the sum of the data bytes written must be

4.2 DATA FLASH INTERFACE
4.2.1
ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH
The bq27500/1 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27500/1 initialization, default, cell
status, calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different
ways, depending on what mode the bq27500/1 is operating in and what data is being accessed.
Commonly accessed data flash memory locations, frequently read by a system, are conveniently
accessed through specific instructions, already described in Section 4.1 DATA COMMANDS. These
commands are available when the bq27500/1 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27500/1
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 re-written to
the BlockData( ) command space. Alternatively, specific locations can be read, altered, and re-written 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 in which 32-byte block the desired locations resides.
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 bq27500/1– the values are not rejected by the
fuel gauge. Writing an incorrect value may result in hardware failure due to firmware program
interpretation of the invalid data. The written data is persistent, so a Power-On-Reset does resolve the
fault.

4.3 MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS
The bq27350 contains 96 bytes of user programmable data flash storage: Manufacturer Info Block A,
Manufacturer Info Block B, Manufacturer Info Block C. The method for accessing these memory
locations is slightly different, depending on whether the device is in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
When in UNSEALED mode and when and “0x00” has been written to BlockDataControl( ), accessing the
Manufacturer 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 bq27500/1 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.
4.4 ACCESS MODES
The bq27500/1 provides three security modes in which control data flash access permissions according to
Table 4-6. Public Access refers to those data flash locations, specified in Table 4-7, that are accessible to
the user. Private Access refers to reserved data flash locations used by the bq27500/1 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 Section 4.2.1.

Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, FULL ACCESS allows the bq27500/1
to directly transition to BOOTROM mode and also write access mode transition keys. The UNSEAL mode
lacks these abilities.
4.5 SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27500/1 implements a key-access scheme to transition between SEALED, UNSEALED, and
FULL-ACCESS modes. Each transition requires that a unique set of 2 keys be sent to the bq27500/1 via
the Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being written to
the Control( ) register in between. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from the codes
presented in the CNTL DATA column of Table 4-2 Control( ) subcommands.
When in SEALED mode the Control Status( )’s [SS] bit is set, but when the UNSEAL keys are correctly
received by the bq27500/1, 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 Unseal Key 0 read returns 0x1234 and 0x5678, then the Control( ) should supply
0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 FUEL GAUGING
The bq27500/1 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27500/1 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor
(5mΩ to 20 mΩ typ.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge
passing through the battery, the cell’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 bq27500/1
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 bq27500/1 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warns when the cell’s SOC has fallen
to critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold, specified in SOC1
Set, the [SOC1] (“State of Charge Initial””) flag is set. The flag is cleared, once RemainingCapacity( ) rises
above SOC1 Set. All units are in mAh.
When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the second capacity threshold, SOCF Set, the [SOCF] (“State of
Charge Final”) flag is set, serving as a final discharge warning. If SOCF Set = –1, the flag is inoperative
during discharge.
Similarly, when RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOCF Clear and the [SOCF] flag has already been set,
the [SOCF] flag will be cleared, provided SOCF Set ≠ –1. All units are in mAh.

5.2 IMPEDANCE TRACK™ VARIABLES
The bq27500/1 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 1, the Constant
Power Model is used. The [LDMD] bit of CONTROL STATUS reflects the status of Load Mode.
Load Select
Load Select defines the type of power or current model to be used to compute load-compensated capacity in the Impedance
Track™ algorithm. If Load Mode = 0 (Constant Current) then the options presented in Table 5-1 are available.
Table 5-1. Constant-Current Model Used When Load Mode = 0
LoadSelect Value
0
1(default)
Current Model Used
Average discharge current from previous cycle: There is an internal register that records the average discharge
current through each entire discharge cycle. The previous average is stored in this register.
Present average discharge current: This is the average discharge current from the beginning of this discharge
cycle until present time.
2
Average Current: based on AverageCurrent( )
3
Current: based off of a low-pass-filtered version of AverageCurrent( ) (τ =14s)
4
Design Capacity / 5: C Rate based off of Design Capacity /5 or a C/5 rate in mA.
5
AtRate (mA): Use whatever current is in AtRate( )
6
User_Rate-mA: Use the value in User_Rate( ). This gives a completely user configurable method.
If ILoad Mode = 1 (Constant Power) then the following options shown in Table 5-2 are available.
Table 5-2. Constant-Power Model Used When Load Mode = 1
LoadSelect Value
0
1(default)
Power Model Used
Average discharge power from previous cycle: There is an internal register that records the average discharge
power through each entire discharge cycle. The previous average is stored in this register.
Present average discharge power: This is the average discharge power from the beginning of this discharge cycle
until present time.
2
Average Current×Voltage: based off the AverageCurrent( ) and Voltage( ).
3
Current ×Voltage: based off of a low-pass-filtered version of AverageCurrent( ) (τ=14s) and Voltage( )
4
Design Energy / 5: C Rate based off of Design Energy /5 or a C/5 rate in mA.
5
AtRate (10 mW): Use whatever value is in AtRate( ).
6
User_Rate-10mW: Use the value in User_Rate( ) mW. This gives a completely user configurable method.
Reserve Cap-mAh
Reserve Cap-mAh determines how much actual remaining capacity exists after reaching 0 RemainingCapacity( ), before
Terminate Voltage is reached. A no-load rate of compensation is applied to this reserve.
Reserve Cap-mWh
Reserve Cap-mWh determines how much actual remaining capacity exists after reaching 0 AvailableEnergy( ), before
Terminate Voltage is reached. A no-load rate of compensation is applied to this reserve capacity.

System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge

SLUS785 – SEPTEMBER 2007
Dsg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27350 to determine if actual discharge current is flowing into or
out of the cell. The default for this register is 100mA 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 bq27500/1 to determine if actual charge current is flowing into or
out of the cell. The default for this register is 50mA 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 bq27500 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 10mA 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 bq27500 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An additional requirement of
dV/dt < 4 μV/sec is required for the bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1 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 will update these values
and maintain them the associated actual cell profiles.
Update Status 0 and Update Status 1
Bit 1 (0x02) of the Update Status n registers indicates that the bq27500/1 has learned new Qmax parameters and is accurate.
The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 1 is user-configurable; however, it is also a status flag that can be set by the bq27500/1.
Bit 1 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” (see SLUA334.pdf). Bit 1 is updated as needed by the bq27500/1.
Avg I Last Run
The bq27500 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
bq27500/1 when required.
Avg P Last Run
The bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1 when required.
Delta Voltage
The bq27500/1 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.
OCV, Default Ra, Rb, and Ra Tables
These tables contain encoded data and, with the exception of the Default Ra Tables, are automatically updated during device
operation. No user changes should be made except for reading/writing the values from a pre-learned pack (part of the process
for creating golden image files).

BATG_POL = BAT_GD pin is active-low. True when cleared. Default is 0.
TEMPS = Selects external thermistor for Temperature( ) measurements. True when set. Default is 1.
5.3.2
Pin Function Code Descriptions
The bq27500/1 has three possible pin-function variations that can be selected in accordance with the
circuit architecture of the end application. Each variation has been assigned a Pin Function Code, or PFC.
When the PFC is set to 0, only the bq27500/1 measures battery temperature under discharge and
relaxation conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27500/1 about the
temperature readings, and therefore operates open-loop with respect to battery temperature.
A PFC of 1 is like a PFC of 0, except temperature is also monitored during battery charging. If charging
temperature falls outside of the preset range defined in data flash,a charger can be disabled via the
BAT_GD pin, until cell temperature recovers. See Section 5.6.2 Charge Inhibit 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.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.
5.3.3
BAT_LOW Pin
The BAT_LOW pin provides a system processor with an electrical indicator of battery status. The signaling
on the BAT_LOW pin follows the status of the [SOC1] bit in the Flags( ) register. Note that the polarity of
the BAT_LOW pin can be inverted via the [BATL_POL] bit of Operation Configuration.
5.3.4
Power Path Control with the BAT_GD Pin
The bq27500/1 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargers
and other IC’s and subcircuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into the system, this
electronics must be disabled, 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_GD pin is merely
set high (floating output pulled high). Once an OCV reading has be made, the 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 5-1 details how the BAT_GD pin functions in the context of battery insertion and
removal, as well as NORMAL vs SLEEP modes.
In PFC 1, the BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27500/1 reads battery
temperatures outside the range defined by [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High]. The
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].
5.3.5
Battery Detection Using the BI/TOUT Pin
During power-up or HIBERNATE activities, or any other activity where the bq27500/1 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 bq27500/1 reads a thermistor
voltage that is near 2.5V.

5.4 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The bq27500/1 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperature
status information to Impedance Track™ 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 Section 4.1.1 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 bq27500/1 is shown in the Section 8 Reference Schematic.
5.5 OVERTEMPERATURE INDICATION
5.5.1
Overtemperature: Charge
If during charging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Chg for a period of OT Chg Time and
AverageCurrent( ) > Chg Current Threshold, then the [OTC] bit of Flags( ) is set. Note: if OT Chg Time =
0 then feature is completely disabled.
When Temperature( ) falls to OT Chg Recovery, the [OTC] of Flags( ) is reset.
5.5.2
Overtemperature: Discharge
If during discharging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Dsg for a period of OT Dsg Time, and
AverageCurrent( ) ≤ -Dsg Current Threshold, then the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is set. Note: if OT Dsg Time
= 0, then feature is completely disabled.
When Temperature( ) falls to OT Dsg Recovery, the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
5.6 CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATION
5.6.1
Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27500/1 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default value
for this variable is Charging Voltage = 4200mV.
The bq27500/1 detects charge termination when (1) during 2 consecutive periods of Current Taper
Window, the AverageCurrent( ) is < Taper Current and (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( ).
5.6.2
Charge Inhibit
When PFC = 1, the bq27500/1 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_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 bq27500/1 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27500/1 will sample the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.

System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge
SLUS785 – SEPTEMBER 2007
5.7 POWER MODES
The bq27500/1 has four power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. In
NORMAL mode, the bq27500/1 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 its lowest power state, but can be woken up by communication
activity or certain I/O activity. Finally, the BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-power
halted, state, where the bq27500/1 resides when no battery is inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 5-2.
5.7.1
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.
5.7.2
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 bq27500/1 performs an ADC autocalibration to minimize
offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27500/1 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27500/1 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) AverageCurrent( ) rises
above Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering the
gauge), Impedance Track™ updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checks
for battery insertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track™ algorithm.
5.7.3
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 bq27500/1 (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.
Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the bq27500/1 is halted in this
mode. The gauge will wake up to process the command, then return to the halted state awaiting battery
insertion.

HIBERNATE MODE
HIBERNATE mode should 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 SLEEP, HIBERNATE, or SHUTDOWN modes.
To enter HIBERNATE mode, either the system must set the [HIBERNATE] bit of the CONTROL STATUS
register OR the cell voltage must fall below Hibernate Voltage. The gauge will remain in HIBERNATE
mode until the battery is removed, or the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge. I2C
Communication that is not directed to the gauge will not wake the gauge.
It is important that 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 bq27500/1 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, the
gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)

RESET FUNCTIONS
When the bq27500 detects 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 5-3 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

WAKE-UP COMPARATOR
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27500/1 is in either
SLEEP 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 vs. the setting of the sense resistor is not important just the actual voltage
threshold when calculating the configuration.
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 bq27500/1 VCC voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4V during Flash write operations.
5.9 AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27500 provides an autocalibration feature that measures the voltage offset error across SRP and
SRN as operating conditions change. It subtracts the resulting offset error from normal sense resistor
voltage, VSR, for maximum measurement accuracy.
Auto calibration 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 80°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.

6 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
6.1 BATTERY PROFILE STORAGE AND SELECTION
6.1.1
General Profile Description
When a battery pack is removed from system equipment that implements the bq27500/01, the fuel gauge
will maintain some of the battery’s information in case it is re-inserted. This way, the Impedance Track™
algorithm has a means of recovering battery-status information, thereby, maintaining good
State-of-Charge (SOC) estimates.
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 bq27500, 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 bq27500/01 maintains two abbreviated profiles. 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 bq27500/01 can administrate information on two removable battery packs.
6.1.2
Activities Upon Pack Insertion
6.1.2.1 First OCV and Impedance Measurement
At power-up the BAT_GD pin is inactive, so that the system 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
bq27500/1 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_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 Ra, and default
profiles, Defn Ra, for the same SOC (the letter "n" depicts either a "0" or "1").
6.1.2.2
Reading Application Status
The Application Status data flash location contains cell profile status information, and can be read using
the ApplicationStatus( ) Extended Command (0x6a/0x6b). The bit configuration of this function/location is
shown in Section 6.1.3.

UNSUPBAT = Flag indicating inserted battery is not supported in the current cell profiles. True when set. bq27501 only.

6.2 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FLOW AND CONTROL
6.2.1
Simple Battery (bq27500 Only)
The bq27500 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 Ra and Def1
Ra profiles. When a battery pack is inserted for the first time, the default profile is copied into the Packn
Ra profiles. Then the Impedance Track™ algorithm begins gas gauging, regularly updating Packn Ra as
the battery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27500 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell

APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION

bq27500
bq27501
System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge

SLUS785 – SEPTEMBER 2007
impedance is measured immediately after battery detection. The bq27500 chooses the profile which is
closest to the measured impedance, starting with the Packn Ra profiles. That is, if the measured
impedance matches Pack0 Ra, then the Pack0 Ra profile is used. If the measured impedance matches
Pack1 Ra, then the Pack1 Ra profile is used. If the measured impedance does not match the impedance
stored in either Pack0 Ra or Pack1 Ra, the battery pack is deemed new (not any of the previously used
packs). Either the Def0 Ra or Def1 Ra profile is copied into either the Pack0 Ra or Pack1 Ra profile,
depending on which default impedance profile most closely matches. Care is taken not to over-write the
last used Packn Ra profile.
6.2.2
Battery With Resistor ID (bq27501 Only)
The bq27501 can administrate the information of up to two battery packs. For a given pack connected to
the fuel gauge, the identity of the battery is determined by a combination of (1) reading the pack ID
resistor and (2) measuring the impedance of the currently connected pack, and (3) remembering which
pack characteristics were most recently used by the gauge.
A battery pack’s ID resistor should connect to the RID pin of the fuel gauge. Either 'A' Ω or 'B' Ω resistor
values should be used, to indicate the battery type. If a battery connection is detected, bq27501 measures
the voltage developed at RID. If the voltage is Pack 0 Voltage, then it is identified as battery pack with 'A'
resistor and bq27501 will use the Pack0 Ra profile. If the voltage measured is Pack 1 Voltage then it is
identified as battery pack with 'B' resistor and the bq27501 will use Pack1 Ra profile. The measurement
window around each threshold is specified by Pack V% Range, which indicates the positive or negative
deviation around each level. Choosing RID values of 500Ω and 8kΩ for 'A' and 'B', correspond to Pack 0
Voltage and Pack 1 Voltage threshold levels of 110mV and 1070mV, respectively. These resistance
values assume a 300Ω resistance already exists in front of the RID pin for ESD protection.
If the bq27501 measures a voltage other than Pack 0 Voltage or Pack 1 Voltage, then it sets the
Application Configuration[UNSUPBAT] to ‘1’, alerting the system that the inserted battery is not
supported. The system can use this information to download the default profile for this battery if one
exists. The system should unseal the gauge, then download the new battery profile into the older Defn Ra
memory profile. The last-used profile is indicated by the Application Configuration[LU_PROF] bit.
Overwriting the older default profile allows the bq27501 to retain information stored regarding the most
recently used battery. After the new default profile is downloaded, the bq27501 clears the Application
Configuration[UNSUPBAT].
When the bq27501 starts operation for the first time, it copies the Def0 Ra profile into the Pack0 Ra profile
and the Def1 Ra profile into the Pack1 Ra profile. Then when a battery pack is inserted for the first time,
the bq27501 starts gauging using Pack0 Ra profile if the voltage measured on the RID pin is Pack 0
Voltage, or starts gauging using Pack1 Ra profile if the voltage measured on the RID pin is Pack 1
Voltage. The Impedance Track™ algorithm regularly updates the specific Packn Ra profile as the battery
is used.
If a pack is replaced with a second pack having the same resistor ID as the first, cell impedance is
measured after pack detection, as explained in Section 6.1.2.1 First OCV and Impedance Measurement.
This impedance is compared with the associated Packn Ra and Defn Ra profiles that correspond to the
current RID. If the impedance matches the Packn Ra impedance then the Packn Ra profile is used. If not,
the bq27501 resets the Packn Ra data, by copying the Defn Ra profile into the Packn Ra profile (this
operation overwrites the previously stored information). The Impedance Track™ algorithm begins
converging on the data for the new battery and storing it in the Packn Ra profile.

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
bq27500 or the I2C master. Quick writes function in the same manner and are a convenient means of
sending multiple bytes to consecutive command locations (such as two-byte commands that require two
bytes of data).
Attempt to write a read-only address (NACK after data sent by master):
Attempt to read an address above 0x7F (NACK command):

Incremental read at the maximum allowed read address:
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.

performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should
provide adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask
work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services
are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI 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 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. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an
unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties
may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business
practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would
reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement
specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications
of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related
requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any
applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its
representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is
solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in
connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products
are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any
non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
