Features
General Description
➤ Accurate measurement of available capacity in Lithium Ion batteries
The bq2050H Lithium Ion Power
Gauge™ IC is intended for batterypack or in-system installation to
maintain an accurate record of
available battery capacity. The IC
monitors a voltage drop across a
sense resistor connected in series
between the negative battery termina l a n d g r ou n d t o d e t e r m i n e
charge and discharge activity of
the battery. Compensations for battery temperature, self discharge,
and rate of discharge are applied to
the charge counter to provide available capacity information across a
wide range of operating conditions.
Battery capacity is automatically recalibrated, or “learned,” in the
course of a discharge cycle from full
to empty.

bq2050H also supports a simple
single-line bidirectional serial link
to an external processor (common
ground). The 5kb HDQ bus interface
reduces communications overhead
in the external microcontroller.
Internal registers include available
capacity, temperature, scaled available energy, battery ID, battery
status, and Li-Ion charge FET
status. The external processor may
also overwrite some of the bq2050H
power gauge data registers.
The bq2050H can operate from the
batteries in the pack. The REF output and an external transistor allow
a simple, inexpensive voltage regulator to supply power to the circuit
from the cells.

DISP high disables the LED display. DISP
tied to VCC allows PROGX to connect directly to VCC or VSS instead of through a
pull-up or pull-down resistor. DISP floating
allows the LED display to be active during
charge. DISP low activates the display. See
Table 1.
This open-drain output switches V CC to
source current for the LEDs. The switch is
off during initialization to allow reading of
the soft pull-up or pull-down program resistors. LCOM is also high impedance when the

Functional Description
General Operation
Figure 1 shows a typical battery pack application of the
bq2050H using the LED display capability as a chargestate indicator. The bq2050H is configured to display
capacity in relative display mode. The relative display
mode uses the last measured discharge capacity of the
battery as the battery “full” reference. A push-button
display feature is available for momentarily enabling
the LED display.
The bq2050H determines battery capacity by monitoring the amount of current input to or removed
from a rechargeable battery. The bq2050H measures discharge and charge currents, measures battery voltage, estimates self-discharge, monitors the
battery for low battery-voltage thresholds, and compensates for temperature and discharge rate. Current measurement is measured by monitoring the
voltage across a small-value series sense resistor between the negative battery terminal and ground.
Scaled available energy is estimated using the remaining average battery voltage during the discharge cycle and the remaining nominal available
The bq2050H monitors the charge and discharge currents as a voltage across a sense resistor. (See RS in Figure 1.) A filter between the negative battery terminal
and the SR pin is required.

In conjunction with monitoring VSR for charge/discharge
currents, the bq2050H monitors the battery potential
through the SB pin. The voltage is determined through
a resistor-divider network per the following equation:
RB1
= 4N − 1
RB2
If VSB is below either of the two EDV thresholds, the associated flag is latched and remains latched, independent of VSB, until the next valid charge. The VSB value is
also available over the serial port.
During discharge and charge, the bq2050H monitors
V SR for various thresholds used to compensate the
charge counter. EDV monitoring is disabled if the discharge rate is greater than 2C (OVLD Flag = 1) and resumes 1 2 second after the rate falls below 2C.
RBI Input
Layout Considerations
The RBI input pin is intended to be used with a storage
capacitor or external supply to provide backup potential
to the internal bq2050H registers when VCC drops below
3.0V. VCC is output on RBI when VCC is above 3.0V. If using an external supply (such as the bottom series cell) as
the backup source, an external diode is required for isolation.
The bq2050H measures the voltage differential between
the SR and VSS pins. VOS (the offset voltage at the SR
pin) is greatly affected by PC board layout. For optimal
results, the PC board layout should follow the strict rule
of a single-point ground return. Sharing high-current
ground with small signal ground causes undesirable
noise on the small signal nodes. Additionally:
Reset
The bq2050H can be reset by removing VCC and grounding the RBI pin for 15 seconds or by commands over the
serial port. The serial port reset command sequence requires writing 00h to register PPFC (address = 1Eh) and
then writing 00h to register LMD (address = 05h).
■
The capacitors (C1 and C2) should be placed as
close as possible to the VCC and SB pins,
respectively, and their paths to VSS should be as
short as possible. A high-quality ceramic capacitor
of 0.1µF is recommended for VCC.
■
The sense-resistor capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to the SR pin.
■
The sense resistor (RS) should be as close as possible to
the bq2050H.
Temperature
The bq2050H internally determines the temperature in
10°C steps centered from approximately -35°C to +85°C.
The temperature steps are used to adapt charge and discharge rate compensations, self-discharge counting, and
available charge display translation. The temperature
range is available over the serial port in 10°C increments as shown in the following table:

bq2050H
The battery's initial capacity equals the Programmed
Full Count (PFC) shown in Table 2. Until LMD is updated, NAC counts up to but not beyond this threshold
during subsequent charges. This approach allows the
gas gauge to be charger-independent and compatible
with any type of charge regime.
Gas Gauge Operation
The operational overview diagram in Figure 2 illustrates
the operation of the bq2050H. The bq2050H accumulates a measure of charge and discharge currents, as
well as an estimation of self-discharge. The accumulated charge and discharge currents are adjusted for
temperature and rate to provide the indication of compensated available capacity to the host system or user.
1.
LMD is the last measured discharge capacity of the
battery. On initialization (application of VCC or battery replacement), LMD = PFC. During subsequent
discharges, the LMD is updated with the latest
measured capacity in the Discharge Count Register
representing a discharge from full to below EDV1.
A qualified discharge is necessary for a capacity
transfer from the DCR to the LMD register. The
LMD also serves as the 100% reference threshold
used by the relative display mode.
The main counter, Nominal Available Capacity (NAC),
represents the available battery capacity at any given
time. Battery charging increments the NAC register,
while battery discharging and self-discharge decrement
the NAC register and increment the DCR (Discharge
Count Register).
The Discharge Count Register is used to update the Last
Measured Discharge (LMD) register only if a complete
battery discharge from full to empty occurs without any
partial battery charges. Therefore, the bq2050H adapts
its capacity determination based on the actual conditions of discharge.

Programmed Full Count (PFC) or initial battery capacity:
Example: Selecting a PFC Value
Given:
The initial LMD and gas gauge rate values are programmed by using PROG1–PROG4. The bq2050H
is configured for a given application by selecting a
PFC value from Table 2. The correct PFC may be
determined by multiplying the rated battery capacity in mAh by the sense resistor value:
Sense resistor = 0.05Ω
Number of cells = 2
Capacity = 1000mAh, Li-Ion battery, coke-anode
Current range = 50mA to 1A
Relative display mode
Self-discharge = NAC 512 per day @ 25°C
Voltage drop over sense resistor = 2.5mV to 50mV
Nominal discharge voltage = 3.6V
Battery capacity (mAh) * sense resistor (Ω) =
PFC (mVh)
Therefore:
Selecting a PFC slightly less than the rated capacity provides a conservative capacity reference until
the bq2050H “learns” a new capacity reference.
1000mAh * 0.05Ω = 50mVh

6. Compensated Available Capacity (CACT)
The initial full battery capacity is 48mVh (960mAh)
until the bq2050H “learns” a new capacity with a
qualified discharge from full to EDV1.
3.
CACT counts similarly to NAC, but contains the available
capacity compensated for discharge rate and temperature.
Nominal Available Capacity (NAC):
Charge Counting
NAC counts up during charge to a maximum value
of LMD and down during discharge and self-discharge to 0. NAC is reset to 0 on initialization and
on the first valid charge following discharge to
EDV1. To prevent overstatement of charge during
periods of overcharge, NAC stops incrementing
when NAC = LMD.
4.
Charge activity is detected based on a positive voltage
on the SR input. If charge activity is detected, the
bq2050H increments NAC at a rate proportional to VSR
and, if enabled, activates an LED display.
The bq2050H counts charge activity when the voltage at
the SR input (V SRO ) exceeds the minimum charge
threshold (VSRQ). A valid charge is detected when NAC
has been updated twice without discharging or reaching
the digital magnitude filter time-out. Once a valid
charge is detected, charge counting continues until VSR,
including offset, falls below VSRQ.
Discharge Count Register (DCR):
The DCR counts up during discharge independent
of NAC and could continue increasing after NAC
has decremented to 0. Prior to NAC = 0 (empty
battery), both discharge and self-discharge increment the DCR. After NAC = 0, only discharge
increments the DCR. The DCR resets to 0 when
NAC = LMD. The DCR does not roll over but stops
counting when it reaches FFh.
Discharge Counting
Discharge activity is detected based on a negative voltage on the SR input. All discharge counts where VSRO
is less than the minimum discharge threshold (VSRD)
cause the NAC register to decrement and the DCR to
increment.
The DCR value becomes the new LMD value on the
first charge after a valid discharge to VEDV1 if all
the following conditions are met:
■
■
■
■
Self-Discharge Counting
No valid charge initiations (charges greater than
2 NAC updates where VSRO > VSRQ) occurred
during the period between NAC = LMD and EDV1.
The bq2050H continuously decrements NAC and increments DCR for self-discharge based on time and temperature.
The self-discharge is less than 6% of NAC.
The temperature is ≥ 0°C when the EDV1 level
is reached during discharge.
Charge/Discharge Current
The bq2050H current-scale registers, VSRH and VSRL,
can be used to determine the battery charge or discharge current. See the Current Scale Register description for details.
VDQ is set
The valid discharge flag (VDQ) indicates whether
the present discharge is valid for LMD update. If
the DCR update value is less than 0.94 ∗ LMD, LMD
will only be modified by 0.94 ∗ LMD. This prevents
invalid DCR values from corrupting LMD.
5.
Count Compensations
Scaled Available Energy (SAE):
Compensated Available Capacity
SAE is useful in determining the available energy
within the battery, and may provide a more useful
capacity reference in battery chemistries with
sloped voltage profiles during discharge. SAE may
be converted to an mWh value using the following
formula:
Compensated Available Capacity compensation is based
on the rate of discharge, temperature, and negative
electrode type. Tables 3A and 3B outline the correction
factor typically used for graphite-anode Li-Ion batteries,
and Tables 4A and 4B outline the factors typically used for
coke-anode Li-Ion batteries. The compensation factor is
applied to NAC to derive the CACD and CACT values.

The bq2050H also monitors temperature during charge.
If the temperature is <0°C, NAC will only increment up
to 0.94 * LMD, inhibiting VDQ from being set. This
keeps a “learn” cycle from occurring when the battery is
charged at very low temperatures. If the temperature
rises above 0°C, NAC will be allowed to count up to NAC

Digital Magnitude Filter
The bq2050H has a digital filter to eliminate charge and
discharge counting below a set threshold. The minimum
charge (VSRQ) and discharge (VSRD) threshold for the
bq2050H is 250µV.
Pack Protection Supervision
The bq2050H can monitor the charge FET in a Li-Ion
pack protector circuit as shown in Figure 3. If the battery voltage is too high or the temperature is out of the
0—60°C range, the bq2050H disables the charge FET
with the CFC output, which turns off the charge to the
pack.
The CACD value is the available charge compensated
for the rate of discharge. At high discharge rates, CACD
is reduced. The reduction is maintained until a valid
charge is detected. The CACT value is the available
charge compensated for the rate of discharge and temperature. The CACT value is used to drive the LED display.
The PSTAT input is used to monitor the protector state. If
PSTAT is above 2.5V, bit 5 of FLGS1 is set to 1. If PSTAT
is below 0.5V, bit 5 of FLGS1 is cleared to zero. Using this
input, the system can monitor the state of the charge con-

Register 15h, NMCV, is used to set the maximum battery voltage for the battery stack. If VSB > NMCV or the
battery temperature is < 0°C or > 60°C, then CFC is
driven low.
A Capacity Inaccurate counter (CPI) is maintained and
incremented each time a valid charge occurs (qualified
by NAC; see the CPI register description). It is reset
whenever LMD is updated from the DCR. The counter
does not wrap around but stops counting at 255. The capacity inaccurate flag (CI) is set if LMD has not been
updated following 64 valid charges.
Error Summary
Current-Sensing Error
Capacity Inaccurate
Table 6 shows the non-linearity and non-repeatability
errors associated with the bq2050H current sensing.
The LMD is susceptible to error on initialization or if no
updates occur. On initialization, the LMD value includes the error between the programmed full capacity
and the actual capacity. This error is present until a
valid discharge occurs and LMD is updated (see the
DCR description). The other cause of LMD error is battery wear-out. As the battery ages, the measured capacity must be adjusted to account for changes in actual
battery capacity.
Table 7 illustrates the current-sensing error as a function of VOS. A digital filter prevents charge and discharge counts to the NAC register when VSRO is between VSRQ and VSRD.

read the bq2050H NACH register.
Communicating With the bq2050H
The bq2050H includes a simple single-pin (HDQ plus return)
serial data interface. A host processor uses the interface to
access various bq2050H registers. Battery characteristics
may be easily monitored by adding a single contact to the
battery pack. The open-drain HDQ pin on the bq2050H
should be pulled up by the host system, or may be left floating if the serial interface is not used.
bq2050H Command Code and
Registers
The bq2050H status registers are listed in Table 8 and described below. All registers are Read/Write in the bq2050H.
Caution: When writing to bq2050H registers ensure
that proper data is written. A write-verify read is recommended.
The interface uses a command-based protocol, where the
host processor sends a command byte to the bq2050H.
The command directs the bq2050H to either store the
next eight bits of data received to a register specified by
the command byte or output the eight bits of data specified by the command byte. (See Figure 4.)
Command Code
The bq2050H latches the command code when eight
valid command bits have been received by the bq2050H.
The command code contains two fields:
The communication protocol is asynchronous return-toone. Command and data bytes consist of a stream of
eight bits that have a maximum transmission rate of
5K bits/sec. The least-significant bit of a command or
data byte is transmitted first. The protocol is simple
enough that it can be implemented by most host processors using either polled or interrupt processing. Data input from the bq2050H may be sampled using the pulse-width capture timers available on some microcontrollers.
■
W/R bit
■
Command address
The W/R bit of the command code is used to select whether
the received command is for a read or a write function.
The W/R values are:
Command Code Bits
If a communication error occurs (e.g., tCYCB > 250µs),
the bq2050H should be sent a BREAK to reinitiate the
serial interface. A BREAK is detected when the HDQ
pin is driven to a logic-low state for a time, tB or greater.
The HDQ pin should then be returned to its normal
ready-high logic state for a time, tBR. The bq2050H is
now ready to receive a command from the host processor.

Where W/R is:
The return-to-one data bit frame consists of three distinct sections. The first section is used to start the
transmission by either the host or the bq2050H taking
the HDQ pin to a logic-low state for a period, tSTRH;B.
The next section is the actual data transmission, where
the data should be valid by a period, tDSU;B, after the
negative edge used to start communication. The data

after an LMD update.
The charge status flag (CHGS) is asserted when a
valid charge rate is detected. Charge rate is deemed

The bq2050H calculates the gas gauge bits, GG3-GG0 as a
function of CACT and LMD. The results of the calculation
give available capacity in 1 16 increments from 0 to 15 16.
The first end-of-discharge warning flag (EDV1)
warns the user that the battery is almost empty. The
first segment pin, SEG1, is modulated at a 4Hz rate if
the display is enabled once EDV1 is asserted, which
should warn the user that loss of battery power is imminent. The EDV1 flag is latched until a valid charge has
been detected. The EDV1 threshold is externally controlled via the VTS register (see Voltage Threshold Register).

EDVF
Nominal Available Capacity Registers
(NACH/NACL)
The NACH high-byte register (address=03h) and the
NACL low-byte register (address=17h) are the main gas
gauging registers for the bq2050H. The NAC registers are
incremented during charge actions and decremented during discharge and self-discharge actions. NACH and
NACL are set to 0 during a bq2050H reset.
Where EDVF is:
0
Valid charge action detected, VSB ≥ (VTS - 25mV)
1
VSB < (VTS -25mV) providing the discharge
rate is < 2C
Writing to the NAC registers affects the available charge
counts and, therefore, affects the bq2050H gas gauge operation. Do not write the NAC registers to a value greater than
LMD.
Temperature Register (TMP)
The TMP register (address=02h) contains the battery
temperature.
Battery Identification Register (BATID)
The bq2050H contains an internal temperature sensor.
The temperature is used to set charge and discharge efficiency factors as well as to adjust the self-discharge coefficient. The temperature register contents may be
translated as shown in Table 9.
The BATID register (address=04h) is available for use
by the system to determine the type of battery pack.
The BATID contents are retained as long as VRBI is
greater than 2V. The contents of BATID have no effect
on the operation of the bq2050H. There is no default
setting for this register.

Last Measured Discharge Register (LMD)
LMD is the register (address=05h) that the bq2050H
uses as a measured full reference. The bq2050H adjusts
LMD based on the measured discharge capacity of the
battery from full to empty. In this way the bq2050H updates the capacity of the battery. LMD is set to PFC
during a bq2050H reset.
If DCR < 0.94 LMD, then LMD is set to 0.94 ∗ LMD.

Capacity Inaccurate Count Register (CPI)
The CPI register (address=09h) is used to indicate the
number of times a battery has been charged without an
LMD update. Because the capacity of a rechargeable
battery varies with age and operating conditions, the
bq2050H adapts to the changing capacity over time. A
complete discharge from full (NAC=LMD) to empty
(EDV1=1) is required to perform an LMD update assuming there have been no intervening valid charges, the
temperature is greater than or equal to 0°C, and there
has been no more than a 6% self-discharge reduction.
The VQ values are:

PPD/PPU Bits
The valid charge flag (VQ), bit 2 of FLGS2, is used to

The PPU register (address=08h) contains the rest of the
programming pin information for the bq2050H. The segment drivers, SEG1–5, have a corresponding PPU register
location, PPU1–5. A given location is set if a pull-up resistor has been detected on its corresponding segment driver.
For example, if SEG3 and SEG5 have pull-up resistors, the
contents of PPU are xxx10100.
The enable interrupt flag (ENINT) is a test bit used to
determine VSR activity sensed by the bq2050H. The
state of this bit will vary and should be ignored by the
system.

The overload flag (OVLD) is asserted when a discharge
rate in excess of 2C is detected. OVLD remains asserted
as long as the condition persists and is cleared 0.5 seconds after the rate drops below 2C. The overload condition is used to stop sampling of the battery terminal characteristics for end-of-discharge determination.
LMD is set to DCR upon the first valid charge after EDV
is set if VDQ is set.

bq2050H
The CPI register is incremented every time a valid
charge is detected. When NAC > 0.94 * LMD, however,
the CPI register increments on the first valid charge;
CPI does not increment again for a valid charge until
NAC < 0.94 * LMD. This prevents continuous trickle
charging from incrementing CPI if self-discharge decrements NAC. The CPI register increments to 255 without rolling over. When the contents of CPI are incremented to 64, the capacity inaccurate flag, CI, is asserted in the FLGS1 register. The CPI register is reset
whenever an update of the LMD register is performed,
and the CI flag is also cleared.
Scaled Available Energy Registers
(SAEH/SAEL)
The SAEH high-byte register (address = 0Fh) and the
SAEL low-byte register (address = 10h) are used to scale
battery voltage and CACT to a value that can be translated to watt-hours remaining under the present conditions.
Relative CAC Register (RCAC)
The RCAC register (address = 11h) provides the relative
battery state-of-charge by dividing CACT by LMD.
RCAC varies from 0 to 64h representing relative stateof-charge from 0 to 100%.
Battery Voltage Register (VSB)
The battery voltage register is used to read the single-cell
battery voltage on the SB pin. The VSB register (address
= 0Bh) is updated approximately once per second with the
present value of the battery voltage.
VSB = 1.2V * (VSB/256).
Current Scale Register (VSRH/VSRL)
The VSRH register (address = 12h) and the VSRL register (address = 13h) report the average signal across the
SR and VSS pins. The bq2050H updates this register
pair every 22.5s. VSRH (high-byte) and VSRL (low-byte)
form a 16-bit signed integer value representing the average current during this time. The battery pack current
can be calculated from:

Voltage Threshold Register (VTS)
where:
The end-of-discharge threshold voltages (EDV1 and
EDVF) can be set using the VTS register (address =
0Ch). The VTS register sets the EDV1 trip point. EDVF
is set 25mV below EDV1. The default value in the VTS
register is A2h, representing EDV1 = 0.76V and EDVF =
0.735V. EDV1 = 1.2V * (VTS/256).
RS = sense resistor value in Ω.
VSRH = high-byte value of battery current
VSRL = low-byte value of battery current
The bq2050H indicates an average discharge current
with a “1” in the MSB position of the VSRH register. To
calculate discharge current, use the 2’s complement if

Compensated Available Charge Registers
(CACT/CACD)
The CACD register (address = 0Eh) contains the NAC
value compensated for discharge rate. This is a monotonicly decreasing value during discharge. If the discharge rate is > 0.5C then this value is lower than NAC.
CACD is updated only when the discharge rate compensated NAC value is a lower value than CACD during
discharge. During charge, CACD is continuously updated with the NAC value.
The CACT register (address = 0Dh) contains the CACD
value compensated for temperature. CACT will contain
a value lower than CACD when the battery temperature
is below 10°C. The CACT value is also used in calculating the LED display pattern.

bq2050H
Maximum Cell Voltage Register (NMCV)
After these operations, a software reset will occur.
The NMCV register (address 15h) is used to set the
maximum battery pack voltage for control of the CFC
pin. If desired, the system can write a value to NMCV to
enable CFC to go low if VSB exceeds this value. This
may be useful as a secondary protection of the Li-Ion
battery pack. NMCV should be set to the following
equation:
Resetting the bq2050H sets the following:
 256 ∗ MCV ∗ RB2 
NMCV = 2s complement of 
 1.2 ∗ (RB1 + RB2) 


NMCV = set to 00h on power up or reset and
should be programmed to the desired value
by the host system.
■
CI and BRP = 1
The bq2050H can directly display capacity information
using low-power LEDs. If LEDs are used, the program
pins should be resistively tied to VCC or VSS for a program high or program low, respectively.
The DCR register (address = 18h) stores the high-byte of
the discharge count. DCR is reset to zero at the start of
a valid discharge cycle and can count to a maximum of
FFh. DCR will not increment if EDV1 = 1 and will not
roll over from FFh.
The bq2050H displays the battery charge state in relative
mode. In relative mode, the battery charge is represented
as a percentage of the LMD. Each LED segment represents 20% of the LMD.
Program Pin Full Count (PPFC)
The capacity display is also adjusted for the present battery
temperature and discharge rate. The temperature adjustment reflects the available capacity at a given temperature
but does not affect the NAC register. The temperature adjustments are detailed in the CACT and CACD register descriptions.
The PPFC register contains information concerning the
program pin configuration. This information is used to
determine the data integrity of the bq2050H. The only
approved user application for this register is to
write a zero to this register as part of a reset request.
When DISP is tied to VCC, the SEG1–5 outputs are inactive. When DISP is left floating, the display becomes active whenever the bq2050H detects a charge in progress
VSRO > VSRQ. When pulled low, the segment outputs become active for a period of four seconds, ± 0.5 seconds.
Voltage Offset (VOS) Interrupt (INTSS)
The INTSS register (address = 38h) is useful during intial characterization of bq2050H designs. When the
bq2050H counts a charge pulse, CHGI (bit 0) will be set
to 1. When the bq2050H counts a discharge pulse,
DCHGI (bit 3) will be set to 1. All other locations in the
INTSS register are reserved.
The segment outputs are modulated as two banks, with segments 1, 3, and 5 alternating with segments 2 and 4. The
segment outputs are modulated at approximately 100Hz with
each segment bank active for 30% of the period.
SEG1 blinks at a 4Hz rate whenever VSB has been detected to be below VEDV1 (EDV1 = 1), indicating a lowbattery condition. VSB below VEDVF (EDVF = 1) disables
the display output.
Reset Register (RST)
The reset register (address = 39h) provides an alternate
means of initializing the bq2050H via software. Since this
register contains device test bits, it is recommended to use
the PPFC and LMD registers to reset the bq2050H. Setting any bits in the reset register is not allowed and
will result in improper bq2050H operation. The recommended reset method for the bq2050H is :
Write LMD to zero
CPI, VDQ, RCAC, NACH/L, CACH/L, SAEH/L,
NMCV = 0
Display
Discharge Count Register (DCR)
■
■
The HEXFF register (address = 3F) is useful in determing if the device is a bq2050H or a bq2050. This
register is always set to FFh for the bq2050H. The
bq2050 returns data other than FFh.
MCV = maximum desired battery stack voltage.
Write PPFC to zero
LMD = PFC

A micropower source for the bq2050H can be inexpensively built using a FET and an external resistor. (See
