bq2011 Gas Gauge IC for High Discharge Rates Features General Description ➤ Conservative and repeatable measurement of available charge in rechargeable batteries The bq2011 Gas Gauge IC is intended for battery-pack installation to maintain an accurate record of available battery charge. The IC monitors a voltage drop across a sense resistor connected in series between the negative battery terminal and ground to determine charge and discharge activity of the battery. The bq2011 is designed for systems such as power tools with very high discharge rates. ➤ Designed for portable equipment such as power tools with high discharge rates ➤ Designed for battery pack integration - 120µA typical standby current (self-discharge estimation mode) - Small size enables implementations in as little as 1 2 square inch of PCB ➤ Direct drive of LEDs for capacity display ➤ Self-discharge compensation using internal temperature sensor ➤ Simple single-wire serial communications port for subassembly testing ➤ 16-pin narrow SOIC Pin Connections 1 16 VCC SEG1 2 15 REF SEG2 3 14 NC 4 The bq2011 supports a simple singleline bidirectional serial link to an external processor (common ground). The bq2011 outputs battery information in response to external commands over the serial link. To support subassembly testing, the outputs may also be controlled by command. The external processor may also overwrite some of the bq2011 gas gauge data registers. The bq2011 may operate directly from four cells. With the REF output and an external transistor, a simple, inexpensive regulator can be built to provide VCC from a greater number of cells. Internal registers include available charge, temperature, capacity, battery ID, and battery status. Pin Names MODE SEG3 Battery self-discharge is estimated based on an internal timer and temperature sensor. Compensations for battery temperature and rate of charge or discharge are applied to the charge, discharge, and selfdischarge calculations to provide available charge information across a wide range of operating conditions. Initial battery capacity is set using the PFC and MODE pins. Actual battery capacity is automatically “learned” in the course of a discharge cycle from full to empty and may be displayed depending on the display mode. Nominal available charge may be directly indicated using a five-segment LED display. These segments are used to indicate graphically the nominal available charge. 13 DQ MODE Display mode output NC No connect SEG1 LED segment 1 DQ Serial communications input/output SEG2 LED segment 2 RBI Register backup input SEG3 LED segment 3 SB Battery sense input SEG4 LED segment 4 DISP Display control input SEG4 5 12 RBI SEG5 6 11 SB SEG5 LED segment 5 SR Sense resistor input PFC 7 10 DISP PFC Programmed full count selection input VCC 3.0–6.5V VSS 8 9 Voltage reference output VSS Negative battery terminal SR REF 16-Pin Narrow SOIC PN201101.eps 2/96 E 1 bq2011 DISP Pin Descriptions MODE DISP floating allows the LED display to be active during charge and discharge if VSRO < -1mV (charge) or VSRO > 2mV (discharge). Transitioning DISP low activates the display for 4 ± 0.5 seconds. Display mode output When left floating, this output selects relative mode for capacity display. If connected to the anode of the LEDs to source current, absolute mode is selected for capacity display. See Table 1. SEG1– SEG5 SB RBI Programmed full count selection input DQ Sense resistor input Serial I/O pin This is an open-drain bidirectional pin. The voltage drop (VSR) across the sense resistor RS is monitored and integrated over time to interpret charge and discharge activity. The SR input is tied to the low side of the sense resistor. VSR > VSS indicates discharge, and VSR < VSS indicates charge. The effective voltage drop, VSRO, as seen by the bq2011 is VSR + VOS (see Table 3). NC Register backup input This input is used to provide backup potential to the bq2011 registers during periods when VCC ≤ 3V. A storage capacitor should be connected to RBI. This three-level input pin defines the programmed full count (PFC) thresholds and scale selections described in Table 1. The state of the PFC pin is only read immediately after a reset condition. SR Secondary battery input This input monitors the single-cell voltage potential through a high-impedance resistive divider network for the end-of-discharge voltage (EDV) threshold and maximum cell voltage (MCV). LED display segment outputs Each output may activate an LED to sink the current sourced from MODE, the battery, or VCC. PFC Display control input REF Voltage reference output for regulator REF provides a voltage reference output for an optional micro-regulator. No connect 2 VCC Supply voltage input VSS Ground bq2011 Figure 1 shows a typical battery pack application of the bq2011 using the LED display with absolute mode as a charge-state indicator. The bq2011 can be configured to display capacity in either a relative or an absolute display mode. The relative display mode uses the last measured discharge capacity of the battery as the battery “full” reference. The absolute display mode uses the programmed full count (PFC) as the full reference, forcing each segment of the display to represent a fixed amount of charge. A push-button display feature is available for momentarily enabling the LED display. Functional Description General Operation The bq2011 determines battery capacity by monitoring the amount of charge input to or removed from a rechargeable battery. The bq2011 measures discharge and charge currents, estimates self-discharge, monitors the battery for low-battery voltage thresholds, and compensates for temperature and charge/discharge rates. The charge measurement is made by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series sense resistor between the negative battery terminal and ground. The available battery charge is determined by monitoring this voltage over time and correcting the measurement for the environmental and operating conditions. The bq2011 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 may be required if the rate of change of the battery current is too great.

Battery Pack Application Diagram—LED Display, Absolute Mode 3 bq2011 charge display translation. The temperature range is available over the serial port in 10°C increments as shown below: Register Backup The bq2011 RBI input pin is intended to be used with a storage capacitor to provide backup potential to the internal bq2011 registers when VCC momentarily drops below 3.0V. VCC is output on RBI when VCC is above 3.0V. TMPGG (hex) Temperature Range After VCC rises above 3.0V, the bq2011 checks the internal registers for data loss or corruption. If data has changed, then the NAC and FULCNT registers are cleared, and the LMD register is loaded with the initial PFC. 0x < -30°C 1x -30°C to -20°C 2x -20°C to -10°C Voltage Thresholds 3x -10°C to 0°C In conjunction with monitoring VSR for charge/discharge currents, the bq2011 monitors the single-cell battery potential through the SB pin. The single-cell voltage potential is determined through a resistor-divider network per the following equation: 4x 0°C to 10°C 5x 10°C to 20°C 6x 20°C to 30°C 7x 30°C to 40°C 8x 40°C to 50°C 9x 50°C to 60°C Ax 60°C to 70°C Bx 70°C to 80°C Cx > 80°C RB1 = N −1 RB2 where N is the number of cells, RB1 is connected to the positive battery terminal, and RB2 is connected to the negative battery terminal. The single-cell battery voltage is monitored for the end-of-discharge voltage (EDV) and for maximum cell voltage (MCV). The EDV threshold level is used to determine when the battery has reached an “empty” state, and the MCV threshold is used for fault detection during charging. The EDV and MCV thresholds for the bq2011 are fixed at: VEDV = 0.90V VMCV = 2.00V Layout Considerations The bq2011 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: During discharge and charge, the bq2011 monitors VSR for various thresholds, VSR1–VSR4. These thresholds are used to compensate the charge and discharge rates. Refer to the discharge compensation section for details. EDV monitoring is disabled if VSR > VSR1 (50mV typical) and resumes 1 second after VSR drops back below VSR1. Reset n The bq2011 recognizes a valid battery whenever VSB is greater than 0.1V typical. VSB rising from below 0.25V resets the device. Reset can also be accomplished with a command over the serial port as described in the Reset Register section. The capacitors (SB and VCC) should be placed as close as possible to the SB and VCC 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. n The sense resistor (RS) should be as close as possible to the bq2011. n The R-C on the SR pin should be located as close as possible to the SR pin. The maximum R should not exceed 20K. Temperature The bq2011 internally determines the temperature in 10°C steps centered from -35°C to +85°C. The temperature steps are used to adapt charge and discharge rate compensations, self-discharge counting, and available 4 bq2011 1. Gas Gauge Operation Last Measured Discharge (LMD) or learned battery capacity: The operational overview diagram in Figure 2 illustrates the operation of the bq2011. The bq2011 accumulates a measure of charge and discharge currents, as well as an estimation of self-discharge. Charge and discharge currents are temperature and rate compensated, whereas self-discharge is only temperature compensated. 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 (DCR) representing a discharge from full to below EDV. 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 Charge (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). 2. Programmed Full Count (PFC) or initial battery capacity: The Discharge Count Register (DCR) 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 bq2011 adapts its capacity determination based on the actual conditions of discharge. The initial LMD and gas gauge rate values are programmed by using PFC. The PFC also provides the 100% reference for the absolute display mode. The bq2011 is configured for a given application by selecting a PFC value from Table 1. The correct PFC may be determined by multiplying the rated battery capacity in mAh by the sense resistor value: The battery's initial capacity is equal to the Programmed Full Count (PFC) shown in Table 1. 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. Inputs PFC (mVh) Selecting a PFC slightly less than the rated capacity for absolute mode provides capacity above the full reference for much of the battery's life.

Nominal Available Charge (NAC): Discharge 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 EDV. To prevent overstatement of charge during periods of overcharge, NAC stops incrementing when NAC = LMD. All discharge counts where VSRO > 500µV cause the NAC register to decrement and the DCR to increment. Exceeding the fast discharge threshold (FDQ) if the rate is equivalent to VSRO > 2mV activates the display, if enabled. The display becomes inactive after VSRO falls below 2mV. Self-Discharge Estimation Note: NAC is set to the value in LMD when SEG5 is pulled low during a reset. 4. The bq2011 continuously decrements NAC and increments DCR for self-discharge based on time and temperature. The self-discharge count rate is programmed to be a nominal 1 80 * NAC rate per day. This is the rate for a battery whose temperature is between 20°–30°C. The NAC register cannot be decremented below 0. 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 FFFFh. Count Compensations The bq2011 determines fast charge when the NAC updates at a rate of ≥2 counts/sec. Charge and discharge activity is compensated for temperature and charge/discharge rate before updating the NAC and/or DCR. Selfdischarge estimation is compensated for temperature before updating the NAC or DCR. The DCR value becomes the new LMD value on the first charge after a valid discharge to VEDV if: n n n No valid charge initiations (charges greater than 256 NAC counts; or 0.006 – 0.01C) occurred during the period between NAC = LMD and EDV detected. Charge Compensation Two charge efficiency factors are used for trickle charge and fast charge. Fast charge is defined as a rate of charge resulting in ≥ 2 NAC counts/sec (≥ 0.15C to 0.32C depending on PFC selections; see Table 2). The compensation defaults to the fast charge factor until the actual charge rate is determined. The self-discharge count is not more than 4096 counts (8% to 18% of PFC, specific percentage threshold determined by PFC). The temperature is ≥ 0°C when the EDV level is reached during discharge. Temperature adapts the charge rate compensation factors over three ranges between nominal, warm, and hot temperatures. The compensation factors are shown below. The valid discharge flag (VDQ) indicates whether the present discharge is valid for LMD update. Charge Counting Charge activity is detected based on a negative voltage on the VSR input. If charge activity is detected, the bq2011 increments NAC at a rate proportional to VSRO (VSR + VOS) and, if enabled, activates an LED display if VSRO < -1mV. Charge actions increment the NAC after compensation for charge rate and temperature. The bq2011 determines a valid charge activity sustained at a continuous rate equivalent to VSRO < -400µV. A valid charge equates to a sustained charge activity greater than 256 NAC counts. Once a valid charge is detected, charge counting continues until V SRO rises above -400µV. 7 Charge Temperature Trickle Charge Compensation Fast Charge Compensation <40°C 0.80 0.95 ≥ 40°C 0.75 0.90 bq2011 Discharge Compensation Table 2. Self-Discharge Compensation Corrections for the rate of discharge are made by adjusting an internal discharge compensation factor. The discharge factor is based on the dynamically measured VSR. The compensation factors during discharge are: NAC 10–20°C NAC 20–30°C NAC 30–40°C NAC 40–50°C NAC 75% 50–60°C NAC 75% 60–70°C NAC Approximate VSR Threshold Efficiency VSR < 50 mV 1.00 100% VSR1 > 50 mV 1.05 95% VSR2 > 100 mV 1.15 VSR4 > 253 mV 85% 1.25 1.25 Self-Discharge Compensation Typical Rate/Day < 10°C Discharge Compensation Factor VSR3 > 150 mV Temperature Range > 70°C Temperature compensation during discharge also takes place. At lower temperatures, the compensation factor increases by 0.05 for each 10°C temperature step below 10°C. NAC 320 160 80 40 20 10 5 2 .5 Error Summary Comp. factor = 1.00 + (0.05 * N) Capacity Inaccurate Where N = number of 10°C steps below 10°C and V SR < 50mV. 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 on page 7). 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. For example: T > 10°C: Nominal compensation, N = 0 0°C < T < 10°C: N = 1 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.05) -10°C < T < 0°C: N = 2 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.10) A Capacity Inaccurate counter (CPI) is maintained and incremented each time a valid charge occurs and 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. -20°C < T < -10°C: N = 3 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.15) -20°C < T < -30°C: N = 4 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.20) Self-Discharge Compensation The self-discharge compensation is programmed for a nominal rate of 1 80 * NAC per day. This is the rate for a battery within the 20–30°C temperature range (TMPGG = 6x). This rate varies across 8 ranges from <10°C to >70°C, doubling with each higher temperature step (10°C). See Table 2 Current-Sensing Error Table 3 illustrates the current-sensing error as a function of V SR . A digital filter eliminates charge and discharge counts to the NAC register when VSRO (VSR + VOS) is between -400µV and 500µV.

The next section is the actual data transmission, where the data should be valid by a period, tDSU, after the negative edge used to start communication. The data should be held for a period, tDV, to allow the host or bq2011 to sample the data bit. Communicating with the bq2011 The bq2011 includes a simple single-pin (DQ plus return) serial data interface. A host processor uses the interface to access various bq2011 registers. Battery characteristics may be easily monitored by adding a single contact to the battery pack. The open-drain DQ pin on the bq2011 should be pulled up by the host system, or may be left floating if the serial interface is not used. The final section is used to stop the transmission by returning the DQ pin to a logic-high state by at least a period, tSSU, after the negative edge used to start communication. The final logic-high state should be held until a period, tSV, to allow time to ensure that the bit transmission was stopped properly. The timings for data and break communication are given in the serial communication timing specification and illustration sections. The interface uses a command-based protocol, where the host processor sends a command byte to the bq2011. The command directs the bq2011 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. Communication with the bq2011 is always performed with the least-significant bit being transmitted first. Figure 3 shows an example of a communication sequence to read the bq2011 NAC register. 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 333 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 bq2011 may be sampled using the pulse-width capture timers available on some microcontrollers. bq2011 Registers The bq2011 command and status registers are listed in Table 4 and described below. Command Register (CMDR) Communication is normally initiated by the host processor sending a BREAK command to the bq2011. A BREAK is detected when the DQ pin is driven to a logic-low state for a time, tB or greater. The DQ pin should then be returned to its normal ready-high logic state for a time, tBR. The bq2011 is now ready to receive a command from the host processor. The write-only CMDR register is accessed when eight valid command bits have been received by the bq2011. The CMDR register contains two fields: W/R bit n Command address The W/R bit of the command register is used to select whether the received command is for a read or a write function. 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 bq2011 taking the DQ pin to a Written by Host to bq2011 CMDR = 03h LSB n Received by Host to bq2011 NAC = 65h MSB Break 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 LSB MSB 1 0 1 0 011 0 DQ TD201101.eps Figure 3.

A piece-wise correction is performed as follows: Temperature FLGS2 Bits 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 CR - - - - - - - Available Capacity Calculation > 0°C NAC / “Full Reference” -20°C < T < 0°C 0.75 * NAC / “Full Reference” 0 When charge rate falls below 2 counts/sec < -20°C 0.5 * NAC / “Full Reference” 1 When charge rate is above 2 counts/sec Where CR is: The fast charge regime efficiency factors are used when CR = 1. When CR = 0, the trickle charge efficiency factors are used. The time to change CR varies due to the user-selectable count rates. The adjustment between > 0°C and -20°C < T < 0°C has a 4°C hysteresis. Nominal Available Charge Register (NAC) The discharge rate flags, DR2–0, are bits 6–4. The read/write NACH register (address=03h) and the read-only NACL register (address=17h) are the main gas gauging registers for the bq2011. The NAC registers are incremented during charge actions and decremented during discharge and self-discharge actions. The correction factors for charge/discharge efficiency are applied automatically to NAC. FLGS2 Bits 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - DR2 DR1 DR0 - - - 0 They are used to determine the present discharge regime as follows: On reset, the NACH and NACL registers are cleared to zero. NACL stops counting when NACH reaches zero. When the bq2011 detects a valid charge, NACL resets to zero; writing to the NAC register affects the available charge counts and, therefore, affects the bq2011 gas gauge operation. DR2 DR1 DR0 VSR (V) 0 0 0 VSR < 50mV 0 0 1 50mV < VSR < 100mV (overload, OVLD=1) Battery Identification Register (BATID) 0 1 0 100mV < VSR < 150mV The read/write 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 VCC is greater than 2V. The contents of BATID have no effect on the operation of the bq2011. There is no default setting for this register. 0 1 1 150mV < VSR < 253mV 1 0 0 VSRD > 253mV The overload flag (OVLD) is asserted when a discharge overload is detected, VSRD > 50mV. OVLD remains asserted as long as the condition persists and is cleared when VSRD < 50mV. Last Measured Discharge Register (LMD) LMD is a read/write register (address=05h) that the bq2011 uses as a measured full reference. The bq2011 adjusts LMD based on the measured discharge capacity of the battery from full to empty. In this way the bq2011 updates the capacity of the battery. LMD is set to PFC during a bq2011 reset. FLGS2 Bits 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 - - - - - - - OVLD DR2–0 and OVLD are set based on the measurement of the voltage at the SR pin relative to VSS. The rate at which this measurement is made varies with device activity. Secondary Status Flags Register (FLGS2) The read-only FLGS2 register (address=06h) contains the secondary bq2011 flags. The charge rate flag (CR) is used to denote the fast charge regime. Fast charge is assumed whenever a charge action is initiated. The CR flag remains asserted if the charge rate does not fall below 2 counts/sec. 13 bq2011 Full Count Register (FULCNT) Resetting the bq2011 sets the following: The read-only FULCNT register (address=0bh) provides the system with a diagnostic of the number of times the battery has been fully charged (NAC = LMD). The number of full occurrences can be determined by multiplying the value in the FULCNT register by 16. Any discharge action other than self-discharge allows detection of another full occurrence during the next valid charge action. n LMD = PFC n CPI, VDQ, NAC, and OCE = 0 or NAC = LMD when SEG5 = L n CI and BRP = 1 Display The bq2011 can directly display capacity information using low-power LEDs. If LEDs are used, the segment pins should be tied to VCC, the battery, or the MODE pin for programming the bq2011. Capacity Inaccurate Count Register (CPI) The read-only 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 bq2011 adapts to the changing capacity over time. A complete discharge from full (NAC=LMD) to empty (EDV=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 the self-discharge counter is less than 4096 counts. The bq2011 displays the battery charge state in either absolute or relative mode. In relative mode, the battery charge is represented as a percentage of the LMD. Each LED segment represents 20% of the LMD. In absolute mode, each segment represents a fixed amount of charge, based on the initial PFC. In absolute mode, each segment represents 20% of the PFC. As the battery wears out over time, it is possible for the LMD to be below the initial PFC. In this case, all of the LEDs may not turn on, representing the reduction in the actual battery capacity. The CPI register is incremented every time a valid charge is detected. The 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. CPI is reset whenever an update of the LMD register is performed, and the CI flag is also cleared. The capacity display is also adjusted for the present battery temperature. 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 TMPGG register description. Output Control Register (OCTL) When DISP is tied to VCC, the SEG1–5 outputs are inactive. When DISP is left floating, the display becomes active during charge if the NAC registers are counting at a rate equivalent to VSRO < -1mV or fast discharge if the NAC registers are counting at a rate equivalent to VSRO > 2mV. When pulled low, the segment output becomes active for 4 seconds, ± 0.5 seconds. The write-only OCTL register (address=0ah) provides the system with a means to check the display connections for the bq2011. The segment drivers may be overwritten by data from OCTL when the least-significant bit of OCTL, OCE, is set. The data in bits OC5–1 of the OCTL register (see Table 4 on page 10 for details) is output onto the segment pins, SEG 5–1 , respectively if OCE=1. Whenever OCE is written to 1, the MSB of OCTL should be set to a 1. The OCE register location must be cleared to return the bq2011 to normal operation. OCE may be cleared by either writing the bit to a logic zero via the serial port or by resetting the bq2011 as explained below. Note: Whenever the OCTL register is written, the MSB of OCTL should be written to a logic one. 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 320Hz, with each bank active for 30% of the period. SEG1 blinks at a 4Hz rate whenever VSB has been detected to be below VEDV to indicate a low-battery condition or NAC is less than 10% of the LMD or PFC, depending on the display mode. Reset Register (RST) The reset register (address=39h) provides the means to perform a software-controlled reset of the device. A full device reset may be accomplished by first writing LMD (address = 05h) to 00h and then writing the RST register contents from 00h to 80h. Setting any bit other than the most-significant bit of the RST register is not allowed, and results in improper operation of the bq2011. Microregulator The bq2011 can operate directly from 4 cells. To facilitate the power supply requirements of the bq2011, an REF output is provided to regulate an external low-threshold nFET. A micropower source for the bq2011 can be inexpensively built using the FET and an external resistor. 14 bq2011 Absolute Maximum Ratings Symbol Parameter Minimum Maximum Unit VCC Relative to VSS -0.3 +7.0 V All other pins Relative to VSS -0.3 +7.0 V VSR Relative to VSS TOPR Operating temperature Note: Notes -0.3 +7.0 V Minimum 100Ω series resistor should be used to protect SR in case of a shorted battery (see the bq2011 application note for details). 0 +70 °C Commercial Permanent device damage may occur if Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded.
