The bq2110B-KT or bq2110LB-KT includes one configured module and the following: General Description The bq2110 Gas Gauge Module provides a complete and compact solution for capacity monitoring of NiCd and NiMH battery packs. Designed for battery pack integration, the bq2110 incorporates a bq2010 Gas Gauge IC, a current sense resistor, and all other components necessary to accurately monitor and display the capacity of 4 to 12 series cells. The bq2110L includes six surfacemounted LEDs to display remaining capacity in 20% increments of the learned capacity (relative mode) or programmed capacity (absolute mode). The sixth LED is used in absolute mode to represent an overfull condition (charge above the programmed capacity). The LEDs are activated with the onboard push-button switch. 1) An interface board that allows connection to the serial port of an AT-compatible computer. 2) Menu-driven software with the bq2110 to display charge/discharge activity and to allow user interface to the bq2010 from any standard DOS PC. 3) Source code for the TSR. Pin Descriptions P1 DQ/Serial communication port P2 BAT+/Battery positive/pack positive Contacts are provided on the bq2110 for direct connection to the battery stack (BAT+, BAT-), the serial communications port (DQ), and the empty indicator (EMPTY). Please refer to the bq2010 data sheet for the specifics on the operation of the Gas Gauge. P3 No connect P4 EMPTY/Empty indicator output P5 GND/Ground Unitrode configures the bq2110 based on the information requested in Table 1. The configuration defines the number of series cells, the nominal battery pack capacity, the self-discharge rate, and the LED display mode.
