DESCRIPTION
The
Texas
Instruments
bq27505-J4
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
micro-controller firmware development. The
bq27505-J4 resides on the system’s main
board and manages an embedded battery
(nonremovable) or a removable battery pack.
The bq27505-J4 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-J4
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 2.43mm × 1.96mm with 0.5mm
lead pitch. It is ideal for space constrained
applications.

SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009

4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq27505-J4 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-J4 control and
status registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the
bq27505-J4’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-J4 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-J4’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-J4 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, see section MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS.
The key to the bq27505-J4’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-J4 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-J4, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell
open-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27505-J4 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R25 = 10.0 kΩ ±1%. B25/85 = 3435K ± 1% (such as Semitec
NTC 103AT). The bq27505-J4 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-J4 uses temperature to monitor the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and
cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27505-J4 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP,
SLEEP+, HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27505-J4 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 section POWER MODES.

DATA COMMANDS
4.1.1
STANDARD DATA COMMANDS
The bq27505-J4 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 ACCESS MODES.)

4.1.1.1.11 OCV CMD: 0X000C
This command is to request the gauge to take a OCV reading. This command can only be issued after the
[INICOMP] has been set, indicating the initialization has been completed. The OCV measurement take
place at the beginning of the next repeated 1s firmware synchronization clock. The measurement takes
about 183ms. During the same time period, the SOC_INT will be negated. The host should use this signal
to reduce the load current below the C/20 in 8ms to ensure a valid OCV reading.
4.1.1.1.12 BAT_INSERT: 0X000D
This command is to force the BAT_DET bit to be set when the battery insertion detection is disabled.
When the BIE is set to 0, the battery insertion detection is disabled. The gauge relies on the host to inform
the battery insertion with this command to set the BAT_DET bit.
4.1.1.1.13 BAT_REMOVE: 0X000E
This command is to force the BAT_DET bit to be clear when the battery insertion detection is disabled.
When the BIE is set to 0, the battery insertion detection is disabled. The gauge relies on the host to inform
the battery removal with this command to clear the BAT_DET bit.
4.1.1.1.14 SET_HIBERNATE: 0x0011
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 1. This will allow the gauge
to enter the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to SLEEP power state is detected. The
[HIBERNATE] bit is automatically cleared upon exiting from HIBERNATE mode.
4.1.1.1.15 CLEAR_HIBERNATE: 0x0012
Instructs the fuel gauge to force the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit to 0. This prevents the gauge
from entering the HIBERNATE power mode after the transition to the SLEEP power state is detected. It
can also be used to force the gauge out of HIBERNATE mode.

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 1s after the system sets the
AtRate( ) value. The fuel gauge automatically updates AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) based on the AtRate( )
value every 1s. Both the AtRate( ) and AtRateTimeToEmpty( ) commands must only be used in NORMAL
mode.
4.1.1.4

SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009
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 of the current discharge. 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.

DATA FLASH INTERFACE
ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH
The bq27505-J4 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27505-J4 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-J4 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 DATA COMMANDS. These
commands are available when the bq27505-J4 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27505-J4
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 48, 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 + 48 modulo 32 =
0x40 + 16 = 0x40 + 0x10 = 0x50.
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-J4 – 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.

SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009
MANUFACTURER INFORMATION BLOCKS
The bq27505-J4 contains two 32-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-J4 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-J4 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.

Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows the
bq27505-J4 to write access-mode transition keys.
4.5
SEALING/UNSEALING DATA FLASH
The bq27505-J4 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-J4
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.
When in SEALED mode, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set, but when the UNSEAL keys are
correctly received by the bq27505-J4, 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-J4 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The
bq27505-J4 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor
(5mΩ to 20mΩ 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.
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-J4 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 Term
Voltage. NominalAvailableCapacity( ) and FullAvailableCapacity( ) are the uncompensated (no or light
load) versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( ) respectively.
The bq27505-J4 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warns when the battery’s SOC has

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-J4’s BAT_LOW pin automatically
reflects the status of the [SOC1] flag. 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.

IMPEDANCE TRACK™ VARIABLES
The bq27505-J4 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.

Reserve Cap-mWh determines how much actual remaining capacity exists after reaching 0
AvailableEnergy( ), before Terminate Voltage is reached. A no-load rate of compensation is applied to
this reserve capacity.
5.2.5
Dsg Current Threshold
This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27505-J4 to determine if actual discharge
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-J4 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-J4
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
additional requirement of
updates are used in the

relaxation mode, the bq27505-J4 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An
dV/dt < 4 μV/s is required for the bq27505-J4 to perform Qmax updates. These
Impedance Track™ algorithms. It is critical that the battery voltage be relaxed
and that the current is not be higher than C/20 when attempting to go into
Quit Relax Time specifies the minimum time required for AverageCurrent( ) to remain above the
QuitCurrent threshold before exiting relaxation mode.
5.2.8
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 very low rate of discharge,
such as C/20 rate. For high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27505-J4 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 will update
these values and maintain 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-J4 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-J4. 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-J4.

Pin Function Code Descriptions
The bq27505-J4 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-J4 measures battery temperature under discharge and
relaxation conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27505-J4 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 Charge Inhibit, 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.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.
5.3.3
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 the Operation Configuration.

SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009
Power Path Control with the BAT_GD Pin
The bq27505-J4 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.

In PFC 1, the /BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27505-J4 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-J4 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-J4 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

CHARGING AND CHARGE-TERMINATION INDICATION
Detecting Charge Termination
For proper bq27505-J4 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default
value for this variable is Charging Voltage in Table 4-7.
The bq27505-J4 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 > 0.25mAh /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, and RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
5.6.2
Charge Inhibit
When PFC = 1, the bq27505-J4 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen above
predefined thresholds Charge Inhibit Temp Low and Charge Inhibit Temp High, respectively. In this
mode, the /BAT_GD line is made high to indicate this condition, and is returned to its low state, once
battery temperature returns to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp
High – Temp Hys].
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27505-J4 must be queried by the system in order to determine the battery
temperature. At that time, the bq27505-J4 will sample the temperature. This saves battery energy when
operating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.
5.7
POWER MODES
The bq27505-J4 has different power modes: BAT INSERT CHECK, NORMAL, SLEEP, SLEEP+ and
HIBERNATE. In NORMAL mode, the bq27505-J4 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

bq27505-J4
SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009

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-J4 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-J4 (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-J4 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-J4 performs an coulomb counter autocalibration to
minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27505-J4 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27505-J4 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.
5.7.4
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-J4 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.
However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27505-J4 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.

SLVSA40 – DECEMBER 2009
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 (or at least for very long).
It is important that /BAT_GD be set to disable 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-J4 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, the
gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)

POWER CONTROL
Reset Functions

5.8.2
WAKE-UP COMPARATOR
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27505-J4 is SLEEP or
HIBERNATE modes. 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.

AUTOCALIBRATION
The bq27505-J4 provides an autocalibration feature that measures the voltage offset error across SRP

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 ≥ 60s}.
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 32mV 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 on two possible battery types expected to be
used with the end-equipment. These default profiles can be used to support batteries of different
chemistry, same chemistry but different capacities, or same chemistry but different models. Default
profiles are programmed by the end-equipment manufacturer. Only one of the default profiles can be
selected, and this selection cannot be changed during end-equipment operation.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27505-J4 maintains two abbreviated profiles: Cell0 and Cell1.
These tables hold dynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent
batteries used. In most cases the bq27505-J4 can administrate information on two removable battery
packs.
6.1.2
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-J4 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.

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-J4 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-J4 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cell
impedance is measured immediately after battery detection (see section First OCV and Impedance
Measurement). The bq27505-J4 chooses the profile which is closest to the measured impedance, starting
with the Pack n profiles. That is, if the measured impedance matches Pack 0, then the Pack 0 profile is
used. If the measured impedance matches Pack 1, then the Pack 1 profile is used. If the measured
impedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack 0 or Pack 1, the battery pack is deemed
new (none of the previously used packs). Either Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack 0 or Pack
1 profile, overwriting the oldest Pack n profile.

I2C INTERFACE
7.1
The bq27505-J4 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-J4 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 about 2 seconds. If the
bq27505-J4 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.
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.
