DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq27505 system-side Li-Ion
battery fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that
provides fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion battery
packs.
The
device
requires
little
system
microcontroller firmware development. The bq27505
resides on the system’s main board and manages an
embedded battery (non-removable) or a removable
battery pack.
The bq27505 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), temperature (°C) and state of health
(%).
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27505 requires only
PACK+ (P+), PACK– (P–), and Thermistor (T)
connections to a removable battery pack or
embedded battery circuit. The CSP option is a 12-ball
package in the dimensions of 2,43 mm × 1,96 mm
with 0,5 mm lead pitch. It is ideal for space
constrained applications.

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27505 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 time-to-empty (TTE), time-to-full (TTF) and state-of-charge (SOC) as well as SOC interrupt signal to the
host.
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 bq27505 control and
status registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the
bq27505’s I2C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development, pack
manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the bq27505 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locations
are accessible during application development. They cannot, generally, be accessed directly during
end-equipment operation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27505’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 bq27505 provides two 32-byte user-programmable data flash memory blocks: Manufacturer Info
Block A and Manufacturer Info Block B. This data space is accessed through a data flash interface. For
specifics on accessing the data flash, MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS.
The key to the bq27505’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 bq27505 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 bq27505, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell
open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27505 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0kΩ ±1%. B25/85 = 3435K ± 1% (such as Semitec
NTC 103AT). The bq27505 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. When an
external themistor is used, a 18.2k pull up resistor between BT/TOUT and TS pins is also required. The
bq27505 uses temperature to monitor the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and
cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27505 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, SLEEP+,
HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27505 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 POWER MODES.

4.1 DATA COMMANDS
4.1.1
STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
The bq27505 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 of Communication.
Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation. Read/Write permissions depend on the active
access mode, SEALED or UNSEALED (for details on the SEALED and UNSEALED states, refer to
Section 4.4, Access Modes.)

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, with negative values interpreted as a discharge current value. The
AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) function returns the predicted operating time at the AtRate value of discharge. The
default value for AtRate( ) is zero and forces AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) to return 65,535. Both the AtRate( )
and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands must 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 65,534. A value of 65,535
indicates AtRate( ) = 0. The fuel gauge updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) within 1 s after the system sets the
AtRate( ) value. The fuel gauge automatically updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) based on the AtRate( )
value every 1 s. Both the AtRate( ) and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands must only be used in NORMAL
mode.
4.1.1.4 Temperature( ): 0x06/0x07

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 several seconds in standby, reports the measured
standby current.
The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband and is
less than or equal to 2 × 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 by taking approximate 93% weight of the last standby current and
approximate 7% of the current measured average current.
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 65,535 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 65,535 indicates that the battery is not being
discharged.
4.1.1.18 AvailableEnergy( ): 0x22/0x23
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted charge or energy remaining in
the battery. The value is reported in units of mWh.
4.1.1.19 AveragePower( ): 0x24/0x25
This read-only function returns an signed integer value of the average power during battery charging and
discharging. It is negative during discharge and positive during charge. A value of 0 indicates that the
battery is not being discharged. The value is reported in units of mW.
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 65,535 indicates
AveragePower( ) = 0. The fuel gauge automatically updates TimeToEmptyatContantPower( ) based on the
AveragePower( ) value every 1 s.

4.1.2.9 ApplicationStatus( ): 0x6a
This byte function allows the system to read the bq27505 Application Status data flash location. See
Table 6-1 for specific bit definitions.
4.1.2.10 Reserved — 0x6b–0x7f
4.2 DATA FLASH INTERFACE
4.2.1
ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH
The bq27505 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27505 initialization, default, cell status,
calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different ways,
depending on what mode the bq27505 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 bq27505 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27505
evaluation software or by data flash block transfers. These locations should be optimized and/or fixed
during the development and manufacture processes. They become part of a golden image file and can
then be written to multiple battery packs. Once established, the values generally remain unchanged during
end-equipment operation.
To access data flash locations individually, the block containing the desired data flash location(s) must be
transferred to the command register locations, where they can be read to the system or changed directly.
This is accomplished by sending the set-up command BlockDataControl( ) (0x61) with data 0x00. Up to 32
bytes of data can be read directly from the BlockData( ) (0x40…0x5f), externally altered, then rewritten to
the BlockData( ) command space. Alternatively, specific locations can be read, altered, and rewritten if
their corresponding offsets are used to index into the BlockData( ) command space. Finally, the data
residing in the command space is transferred to data flash, once the correct checksum for the whole block
is written to BlockDataChecksum( ) (0x60).
Occasionally, a data flash CLASS will be larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the
DataFlashBlock( ) command is used to designate which 32-byte block the desired locations reside in. The
correct command address is then given by 0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Terminate
Voltage in the Gas Gauging class, DataFlashClass( ) is issued 80 (0x50) to set the class. Because the
offset is 50, 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 + 50 modulo 32 =
0x40 + 18 = 0x40 + 0x12 = 0x52.
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 bq27505 – 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 bq27505 contains 96 bytes of user programmable data flash storage: Manufacturer Info Block A,
and Manufacturer Info Block B. The method for accessing these memory locations is slightly different,
depending on whether the device is in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
When in UNSEALED mode and when and 0x00 has been written to BlockDataControl( ), accessing the
manufacturer information 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 bq27505 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 or 0x02 with this command causes the corresponding information block (A or B, 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 bq27505 provides three security modes (FULL ACCESS, UNSEALED, and SEALED) that control
data flash access permissions, according to Table 4-6. Data Flash refers to those data flash locations,
specified in Table 4-7, that are accessible to the user. Manufacture Information refers to the three 32-byte
blocks.

R(A); R/W(B)
Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows the
bq27505 to write access-mode transition keys.
4.5 SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27505 implements a key-access scheme to transition between SEALED, UNSEALED, and
FULL-ACCESS modes. Each transition requires that a unique set of two keys be sent to the bq27505 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 subcommands.
When in SEALED mode, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set, but when the UNSEAL keys are
correctly received by the bq27505, 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 keys is
Key 1 followed by Key 0. The order of the bytes entered through the Control( ) command is the reverse of
what is read from the part. For example, if the Key 1 and Key 0 of the Unseal Keys returns 0x1234 and
0x5678, then the Control( ) should supply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 FUEL GAUGING
The bq27505 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27505 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor
(5 mΩ to 20 mΩ typ.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge
passing through the battery, the battery’s SOC is adjusted during battery charge or discharge.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
23
bq27505-J2
System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge
SLUS924 – APRIL 2009
www.ti.com
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 bq27505
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 Terminate Voltage.
NominalAvailableCapacity( ) and FullAvailableCapacity( ) are the uncompensated (no or light load)
versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( ) respectively.
The bq27505 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warns when the battery’s SOC has
fallen to critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold, specified in
SOC1 Set Threshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared once
RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOC1 Set Threshold. The bq27505’s BAT_LOW pin automatically
reflects the status of the [SOC1] flag. This flag is enabled when BL_INT bit in Operation Configuration B
is set. All units are in mAh.
When Voltage( ) falls below the system shut down threshold voltage, SysDown Set Volt Threshold, the
[SYSDOWN] flag is set, serving as a final warning to shut down the system. The SOC_INT also signals.
When Voltage( ) rises above SysDown Clear Voltage and the [SYSDOWM] flag has already been set,
the [SYSDOWN] flag is cleared. The SOC_INT also signals such change. All units are in mV.
When the voltage is discharged to Final Voltage, the SOC will be set as 0.
5.2 IMPEDANCE TRACK™ VARIABLES
The bq27505 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.
5.2.1
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.
5.2.2
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

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 =14 s)
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-mA. This mode provides a completely user-configurable method.

current is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is in Table 4-7, 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.
5.2.6
Chg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27505 to determine if actual charge
current is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is in Table 4-7, 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.
5.2.7
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 bq27505
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 in Table 4-7 and should be above the standby
current of the system.
Either of the following criteria must be met to enter relaxation mode:
• | AverageCurrent( ) | < | Quit Current | for Dsg Relax Time
• | AverageCurrent( ) | < | Quit Current | for Chg Relax Time
After about 5 minutes in relaxation mode, the bq27505 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An
additional requirement of dV/dt < 4 µV/s is required for the bq27505 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 a very low rate of discharge,
such as the C/20 rate. For high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27505 during
operation. Based on the battery cell capacity information, the initial value of chemical capacity should be
entered in the Qmax n field for each default cell profile. The Impedance Track™ algorithm updates these
values and maintains them the associated actual cell profiles.
5.2.9
Update Status 0 and Update Status 1
Bit 0 (0x01) of the Update Status n registers indicates that the bq27505 has learned new Qmax
parameters and is accurate. The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 0 is user-configurable; however, it is
also a status flag that can be set by the bq27505. Bit 0 should never be modified except when creating a
golden image file as explained in the application note Preparing Optimized Default Flash Constants for
specific Battery Types (SLUA334). Bit 0 is updated as needed by the bq27505.
5.2.10 Avg I Last Run
The bq27505 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 not be
modified. It is only updated by the bq27505 when required.
5.2.11 Avg P Last Run
The bq27505 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 bq27505 continuously multiplies instantaneous current times Voltage( ) to get power. It then
logs this data to derive the average power. This register should not be modified. It is only updated by the
bq27505 when required.
5.2.12 Delta Voltage
The bq27505 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.
5.2.13 Default Ra 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).

5.3.2
Pin Function Code Descriptions
The bq27505 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 bq27505 measures battery temperature under discharge and relaxation
conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27505 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 and Suspend, 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.
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27505 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27505 samples the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.

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 bq27505 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargers
or other ICs and application circuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into the
system, there should be no charging current or a discharging current higher than C/20, so that an accurate
OCV can be read. The OCV is used for helping determine which battery profile to use, as it constitutes
part of the battery impedance measurement
When a battery is inserted into a system, the Impedance Track™ algorithm requires that no charging of
the battery takes place and that any discharge is limited to less than C/20—these conditions are sufficient
for the fuel gauge to take an accurate OCV reading. To disable these functions, the BAT_GD pin is merely
negated from the default setting. Once an OCV reading has be made, the BAT_GD pin is asserted,
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.

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 bq27505 reads battery
temperatures outside the range defined by [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High]. The
BAT_GD line is asserted 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 bq27505 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 bq27505 reads a thermistor voltage
that is near 2.5V.
5.3.6
SOC_INT pin
The SOC_INT pin generates a pulse with different pulse width under various conditions. Some features
needs to be enabled by setting the Operation Config. In any given one second, only one SOC_INT pulse
could be generated. In other words, the 1ms SOC_INT pulse could indicated multiple events generating
the 1ms pusles.

5.4 TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The bq27505 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperature status
information to the fuel gauging algorithm and charger-control sections of the gauge. Alternatively, it can
also measure internal temperature via its on-chip temperature sensor, but only if the [TEMPS] bit of the
Operation Configuration register is cleared. The [GNDSEL] bit of Operation Configuration B register
selects the ground reference of the ADC converter for temperature measurement.
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 thermistor circuit requires the use of an external NTC 103AT-type thermistor. Additional circuit
information for connecting this thermistor to the bq27505 is shown in 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. When Temperature( )
falls to OT Chg Recovery, the [OTC] of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Chg Time = 0, then the feature is completely disabled.
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. When Temperature( )
falls to OT Dsg Recovery, the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Dsg Time = 0, then feature is completely disabled.
5.6 CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATION
5.6.1
Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27505 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default value
for this variable is Charging Voltage Table 4-7.
The bq27505 detects charge termination when (1) during 2 consecutive periods of Current Taper
Window, the AverageCurrent( ) is < Taper Current, (2) during the same periods, the accumulated
change in capacity > Min Taper Charge /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, then RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
5.6.2
Charge Inhibit and Suspend
The bq27505 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above predefined
thresholds Charge Inhibit Temp Low or Charge Inhibit Temp High, respectively. In this mode, the
[CHG_INT] bit is set and the BAT_GD pin is deserted to indicate this condition. The [CHG_INT] bit is
cleared and the BAT_GD pin is asserted once the battery temperature returns to the range [Charge
Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].
When PFC = 1, the bq27505 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above
predefined thresholds Suspend Low Temp or Suspend High Temp, respectively. In this mode, the
[XCHG] bit is set to indicate this condition. The [XCHG] bit is cleared once the battery temperature returns
to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].

The charging should not start when the temperature is below the Charge Inhibit Temp Low or above the
Charge Inhibit Temp High. The charging can continue if the charging starts inside the window [Charge
Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High] until the temperature is either below Suspend Low Temp or
above the Suspend Low Temp. Therefore, the window [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp
High] must be inside the window of [Suspend Low Temp, Suspend High Temp].
5.7 POWER MODES
The bq27505 has different power modes: BAT INSERT CHECK, NORMAL, SLEEP, SLEEP+ and
HIBERNATE. In NORMAL mode, the bq27505 is fully powered and can execute any allowable task. In
SLEEP+ mode, both low frequency and high frequency oscillators are active. Although the SLEEP+ has
higher current consumption than the SLEEP mode, it is also a reduced power mode. In SLEEP mode, the
fuel gauge turns off the high frequency oscillator and exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking
measurements and performing calculations. In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in a very low power
state, but can be woken up by communication or certain I/O activity. Finally, the BAT INSERT CHECK
mode is a powered-up, but low-power halted, state, where the bq27505 resides when no battery is
inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.7.1
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 bq27505 (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 bq27505 is halted in this
mode. The gauge will wake up to process the command, then return to the halted state awaiting battery
insertion.
5.7.2
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.
5.7.3
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 bq27505 performs an coulomb counter autocalibration to
minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27505 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27505 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) AverageCurrent( ) rises
above Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering the
gauge), Impedance Track™ updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checks
for battery insertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track™ algorithm.

SLEEP+ MODE
Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high frequency oscillator in operation. The
communication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ is entered automatically if the feature is enabled
(CONTROL STATUS [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level Sleep
Current.
During SLEEP+ mode, the bq27505 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27505 exits SLEEP+ if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) any communication
activity with the gauge, or (2) AverageCurrent( ) rises above Sleep Current, or (3) a current in excess of
IWAKE through RSENSE is detected.
5.7.5
HIBERNATE MODE
HIBERNATE mode should be used when the system equipment needs to enter a low-power state, and
minimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when a system equipment is set to its
own HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF modes.
Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the [HIBERNATE] bit of the
CONTROL_STATUS register. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV
measurement and the magnitude of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The
gauge can also enter HIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage and a valid
OCV measurement has been taken. The gauge will remain in HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a
direct I2C command to the gauge or a POR occurs. I2C Communication that is not directed to the gauge
will not wake the gauge.
It is important that BAT_GD be deserted 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 bq27505 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, the gauge can
proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)
5.8 POWER CONTROL
5.8.1
WAKE-UP COMPARATOR
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27505 is in SLEEP mode.
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
the charge or discharge direction. 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. The votage thresholds are typical values under room
temperature.
FLASH UPDATES
Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage( ) ≥ Flash Update OK Voltage. Flash programming current can
cause an increase in LDO dropout. The value of Flash Update OK Voltage should be selected such that
the bq27505 VCC voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
5.9 AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27505 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.
Autocalibration of the coulomb counter 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( ) ≤ 100 mA and (2)
{voltage change since last offset calibration ≥ 256 mV} or {temperature change since last offset calibration
is greater than 80°C for ≥ 60 s}.
Capacity and current measurements continue at the last measured rate during the offset calibration when
these measurements cannot be performed. If the battery voltage drops more than 32 mV during the offset
calibration, the load current has likely increased; hence, the offset calibration is aborted.
6 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
6.1 BATTERY PROFILE STORAGE AND SELECTION
6.1.1
Common Profile Aspects
When a battery pack is removed from system equipment that implements the bq27505, the fuel gauge will
maintain some of the battery information, if it is re-inserted. This way the Impedance Track™ algorithm will
often have 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 of the battery type expected to be used with the
end-equipment. The bq27505 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the
Def0 and Def1 profiles. Default profiles are programmed by the end-equipment manufacturer.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27505 maintains two abbreviated profiles: Pack0 and Pack1.
These tables hold dynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent

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 might not obtain power from the battery (this
depends on actual implementation). In this state, the battery should be put in a condition with load current
less than C/20. Next, the bq27505 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. The
[OCVCMDCOMP] bit will set once the OCV measurement is completed. Depending on the load current,
the [OCVFAIL] bit indicates whether the OCV reading is valid. 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, and the default profiles, Defn,
for the same SOC (the letter n depicts either a 0 or 1).The [INITCOMP] bit will be set afterwards and the
OCV command could be issued
6.1.3
Reading Application Status
The Application Status data flash location contains cell profile status information, and can be read using
the ApplicationStatus( ) extended command (0x6a). The bit configuration of this function/location is shown
in Table 6-1.

LU_ PROF
LU_PROF = Last profile used by fuel gauge. Cell0 last used when cleared. Cell1 last used when set. Default is 0.
6.2 APPLICATION-SPECIFIC FLOW AND CONTROL
The bq27505 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1
profiles. When a battery pack is inserted for the first time, the default profile is copied into the Packn
profiles. Then the Impedance Track™ algorithm begins gas gauging, regularly updating Packn as the
battery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27505 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell
impedance is measured immediately after battery detection (see Section 6.1.2.1., First OCV and
Impedance Measurement). The bq27505 chooses the profile which is closest to the measured impedance,
starting with the Packn profiles. That is, if the measured impedance matches Pack0, then the Pack0
profile is used. If the measured impedance matches Pack1, then the Pack1 profile is used. If the
measured impedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack0 or Pack1, the battery pack is
deemed new (none of the previously used packs). Either Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack0
or Pack1 profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile.

7.1 I2C INTERFACE
The 27505 supports the standard I2C read, incremental read, quick read, one byte write, and incremental
write 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 will; therefore, be 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, will increment whenever data is acknowledged by the
bq27505 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)
The following command sequences are not supported:
Attempt to write a read-only address (NACK after data sent by master):
Attempt to read an address above 0x6B (NACK command):

7.2 I2C Time Out
The I2C engine will release both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for the time defined by I2C
Timeout times 0.5 second. If the bq27505 was holding the lines, releasing them will free for the master to
drive the lines. If an external condition is holding either of the lines low, the I2C engine will enter the low
power sleep mode.
7.3 I2C Command Waiting Time
To make sure the correct results of a command with the 400KHz I2C operation, a proper waiting time
should be added between issuing command and reading results. For subcommands, the following
diagram shows the waiting time required between issuing the control command the reading the status with
the exception of checksum and OCV commands. A 100ms waiting time is required between the checksum
command and reading result, and a 1.2 second waiting time is required between the OCV command and
result. For read-write standard command, a minimum of 2 seconds is required to get the result updated.
For read-only standard commands, there is no waiting time required, but the host should not issue all
standard commands more than two times per second. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue
due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.
The I2C clock stretch could happen in a typical application. A maximum 80ms clock stretch could be
observed during the flash updates. There is up to 270ms clock stretch after the OCV command is issued.
