Host-Reported Temperature
The bq27421-G1 fuel gauge uses the patented
Impedance TrackTM algorithm for fuel gauging, and
provides information such as remaining battery
capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), and battery
voltage (mV).
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27421-G1 fuel gauge
requires connections only to PACK+ (P+) and PACK–
(P–) for a removable battery pack or embedded
battery circuit. The tiny 9-ball, 1.62 mm × 1.58 mm,
0.5-mm pitch NanoFree™ chip scale package
(DSBGA) is ideal for space-constrained applications.

DESCRIPTION
PI, AI
LDO regulator input, battery voltage input, and coulomb counter input typically connected to the
PACK+ terminal. Connect a capacitor (1 µF) between BAT and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the
gauge.
DI
Battery insertion detection input. If Operation Configuration bit [BIE] = 1 (default), a logic low on
the pin is detected as battery insertion. For a removable pack, the BIN pin can be connected to VSS
through a pulldown resistor on the pack, typically the 10-kΩ thermistor; the system board should use
a 1.8-MΩ pullup resistor to VDD to ensure the BIN pin is high when a battery is removed. If the
battery is embedded in the system, it is recommended to leave [BIE] = 1 and use a 10-kΩ pulldown
resistor from BIN to VSS. If [BIE] = 0, then the host must inform the gauge of battery insertion and
removal with the BAT_INSERT and BAT_REMOVE subcommands. A 10-kΩ pulldown resistor
should be placed between BIN and VSS, even if this pin is unused.
NOTE: The BIN pin must not be shorted directly to VCC or VSS and any pullup resistor on the BIN
pin must be connected only to VDD and not an external voltage rail.
This open-drain output can be configured to indicate BAT_LOW when the Operation Configuration
[BATLOWEN] bit is set. By default [BATLOWEN] is cleared and this pin performs an interrupt
function (SOC_INT) by pulsing for specific events, such as a change in State of Charge. Signal
polarity for these functions is controlled by the [GPIOPOL] configuration bit. This pin should not be
left floating, even if unused, so a 10-kΩ pullup resistor is recommended. If the device is in
SHUTDOWN mode, then toggling GPOUT will make the gauge exit SHUTDOWN. Therefore, it is
recommended to connect GPOUT to a GPIO of the host MCU.

Slave I2C serial bus for communication with system (Master). Open-drain pins. Use with external
10-kΩ pullup resistors (typical) for each pin. If the external pullup resistors will be disconnected from
these pins during normal operation, it is recommended to use external 1-MΩ pulldown resistors to
VSS at each pin to avoid floating inputs.
Integrated high-side sense resistor and coulomb counter input typically connected to system power
rail VSYS.

Ground pins. The center pin B2 is the actual device ground pin while pin C1 is floating internally and
therefore C1 may be used as a bridge to connect to the board ground plane without requiring a via
under the device package. It is recommended to route the center pin B2 to the corner pin C1 using
a top-layer metal trace on the board. Then route the corner pin C1 to the board ground plane.

8.1 Overview
The fuel gauge accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single Li-based
rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such as state-ofcharge (SOC).

8.3 Feature Description
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 control and status registers, as well as
its data locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the I2C serial communications engine, and
can be executed during application development, system manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
The key to the high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is Texas Instruments proprietary Impedance Track™
algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create state-of-charge
predictions that can achieve high-accuracy across a wide variety of operating conditions and over the lifetime of
the battery.
The fuel gauge measures the charging and discharging of the battery by monitoring the voltage across a smallvalue sense resistor. When a cell is attached to the fuel gauge, cell impedance is computed, based on cell
current, cell open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The fuel gauge uses an integrated temperature sensor for estimating cell temperature. Alternatively, the host
processor can provide temperature data for the fuel gauge.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has several power modes: INITIALIZATION, NORMAL, SLEEP,
HIBERNATE, and SHUTDOWN. The fuel gauge passes automatically between these modes, depending upon
the occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes directly. See the
bq27421-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUAC5) for more details.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Standard Data Commands
The fuel gauge 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 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. See the bq27421-G1
Technical Reference Manual (SLUUAC5) for more details.

8.5.2 Control(): 0x00 and 0x01
Issuing a Control() command requires a subsequent 2-byte subcommand. These additional bytes specify the
particular control function desired. The Control() command allows the system to control specific features of the
fuel gauge during normal operation and additional features when the device is in different access modes, as
described in Table 2. See the bq27421-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUAC5) for more details.

8.5.4 Communications
8.5.4.1 I2C Interface
The fuel gauge 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 first 8 bits of the I2C protocol are, therefore, 0xAA or 0xAB for write or read, respectively.

Figure 5. I2C Format
The quick read returns data at the address indicated by the address pointer. The address pointer, a register
internal to the I2C communication engine, increments whenever data is acknowledged by the fuel gauge 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:

Figure 7. Attempt To Read an Address Above 0x6B (Nack Command)
8.5.4.2 I2C Time Out
The I2C engine releases both SDA and SCL if the I2C bus is held low for 2 seconds. If the fuel gauge is holding
the lines, releasing them frees them for the master to drive the lines.

8.5.4.3 I2C Command Waiting Time
To ensure proper operation at 400 kHz, a t(BUF) ≥ 66 μs bus-free waiting time must be inserted between all
packets addressed to the fuel gauge. In addition, if the SCL clock frequency (fSCL) is > 100 kHz, use individual 1byte write commands for proper data flow control. The following diagram shows the standard waiting time
required between issuing the control subcommand the reading the status 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 must not issue any standard command more than two times per
second. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.

8.5.4.4 I2C Clock Stretching
A clock stretch can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a short ≤
100-µs clock stretch occurs on all I2C traffic as the device must wake-up to process the packet. In the other
modes (INITIALIZATION, NORMAL) a ≤ 4-ms clock stretching period may occur within packets addressed for the
fuel gauge as the I2C interface performs normal data flow control.

9 Applications and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The Texas Instruments bq27421-G1 fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that provides system-side fuel
gauging for single-cell Li-Ion batteries. The device requires minimal user configuration and system
microcontroller firmware. Battery fuel gauging with the bq27421-G1 fuel gauge requires connections only to
PACK+ (P+) and PACK– for a removable battery pack or embedded battery circuit.
NOTE
To allow for optimal performance in the end application, special considerations must be
taken to ensure minimization of measurement error through proper printed circuit board
(PCB) board layout. These requirements are detailed in Design Requirements.

Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
As shipped from the Texas Instruments factory, many bq27421-G1 parameters in OTP NVM are left in the
unprogrammed state (zero) while some parameters directly associated with the CHEMID are preprogrammed.
This partially programmed configuration facilitates customization for each end application. Upon device reset, the
contents of OTP are copied to associated volatile RAM-based Data Memory blocks. For proper operation, all
parameters in RAM-based Data Memory require initialization — either by updating Data Memory parameters in a
lab/evaluation situation or by programming the OTP for customer production. The bq27421-G1 Technical
Reference Manual (SLUUAC5) shows the default value that is present.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 BAT Voltage Sense Input
A ceramic capacitor at the input to the BAT pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple to ground, greatly reducing
its influence on battery voltage measurements. It proves most effective in applications with load profiles that
exhibit high-frequency current pulses (that is, cell phones) but is recommended for use in all applications to
reduce noise on this sensitive high-impedance measurement node.
9.2.2.2 Integrated LDO Capacitor
The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VDD pin of approximately 1.8 V. A capacitor of
value at least 0.47 μF should be connected between the VDD pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed
close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS. This regulator should not be used to
provide power for other devices in the system.
9.2.2.3 Sense Resistor Selection
Any variation encountered in the resistance present between the SRP and SRN pins of the fuel gauge will affect
the resulting differential voltage, and derived current, it senses. As such, it is recommended to select a sense
resistor with minimal tolerance and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) characteristics. The standard
recommendation based on best compromise between performance and price is a 1% tolerance, 50 ppm drift
sense resistor with a 1-W power rating.

10 Power Supply Recommendation
10.1 Power Supply Decoupling
The battery connection on the BAT pin is used for two purposes:
• To supply power to the fuel gauge
• As an input for voltage measurement of the battery
A capacitor of value of at least 1 µF should be connected between BAT and VSS. The capacitor should be placed
close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the BAT pin and VSS.
The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VDD pin of approximately 1.8 V. A capacitor of value
at least 0.47 μF should be connected between the VDD pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the
gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.

11.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
A capacitor, of value at least 0.47 µF, is connected between the VDD pin and VSS. The capacitor should be
placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.
It is required to have a capacitor, at least 1.0 µF, connected between the BAT pin and VSS if the connection
between the battery pack and the gauge BAT pin has the potential to pick up noise. The capacitor should be
placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.
If the external pullup resistors on the SCL and SDA lines will be disconnected from the host during low-power
operation, it is recommended to use external 1-MΩ pulldown resistors to VSS to avoid floating inputs to the I2C
engine.
The value of the SCL and SDA pullup resistors should take into consideration the pullup voltage and the bus
capacitance. Some recommended values, assuming a bus capacitance of 10 pF, can be seen in Table 4.

If the GPOUT pin is not used by the host, the pin should still be pulled up to VDD with a 4.7-kΩ or 10-kΩ
resistor.
If the battery pack thermistor is not connected to the BIN pin, the BIN pin should be pulled down to VSS with a
10-kΩ resistor.
The BIN pin should not be shorted directly to VDD or VSS.
The actual device ground is the center pin (B2). The C1 pin is floating internally and can be used as a bridge
to connect the board ground plane to the device ground (B2).
