•
The bq27532-G1 system-side, Li-Ion battery
management unit is a microcontroller peripheral that
provides Impedance Track™ fuel gauging and
charging control for single-cell Li-Ion battery packs.
The fuel gauge requires little system microcontroller
firmware development. Together with bq2425x singlecell switch-mode charger, the fuel gauge manages an
embedded battery (non-removable) or a removable
battery pack.

Description
The fuel gauge uses the patented Impedance Track
algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides information,
such as remaining battery capacity (mAh), state-ofcharge (%), runtime-to-empty (minimum), battery
voltage (mV), temperature (°C), and SoH (%).
Battery fuel gauging with the device requires only
PACK+ (P+), PACK– (P–), and thermistor (T)
connections to a removable battery pack or
embedded battery circuit. The 15-pin NanoFree™
(CSP) package has dimensions of 2.61 mm × 1.96
mm with 0.5-mm lead pitch. It is ideal for spaceconstrained applications.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The fuel gauge accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a single, Libased, rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, such as
remaining capacity and state-of-charge (SOC) as well as SOC interrupt signal to the host.
The fuel gauge can control a bq2425x Charger IC without the intervention from an application system processor.
Using the bq27532-G1 and bq2425x chipset, batteries can be charged with the typical constant-current,
constant-voltage (CCCV) profile or charged using a Multi-Level Charging (MLC) algorithm.
The fuel gauge can also be configured to suggest charge voltage and current values to the system so that the
host can control a charger that is not part of the bq2425x charger family.

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 flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using the I2C serial communications engine,
and can be executed during application development, pack manufacture, or end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored 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 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 key to the high-accuracy gas gauging prediction is the TI proprietary Impedance Track™ algorithm. This
algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties to create SOC predictions that can achieve
less than 1% error 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 series sense resistor (5 to 20 mΩ, typical) located between the system VSS and the battery PACK–
terminal. When a cell is attached to the fuel gauge, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cell opencircuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The 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 = 3435 K ± 1% (such as Semitec NTC 103AT). The fuel
gauge can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. When an external thermistor is used, a
18.2-kΩ pullup resistor between the BI/TOUT and TS pins is also required. The fuel gauge uses temperature to
monitor the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, SLEEP+,
HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. 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.
For complete operational details, see bq27532-G1 Technical Reference Manual, SLUUB04.
7.3.1 Functional Description
The fuel gauge measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. The fuel gauge
monitors the charging and discharging of the battery by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5 mΩ
to 20 mΩ, typical) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating charge passing
through the battery, the battery 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 SOC 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 fuel gauge 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 fuel gauge has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warn when the battery SOC has fallen to
critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold as specified in SOC1 Set
Threshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared once RemainingCapacity( ) rises
above SOC1 Clear Threshold.
When the voltage is discharged to Terminate Voltage, the SOC will be set to 0.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Power Modes
The fuel gauge has different power modes:
1. BAT INSERT CHECK: The BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-power halted, state where
the fuel gauge resides when no battery is inserted into the system.
2. NORMAL: In NORMAL mode, the fuel gauge is fully powered and can execute any allowable task.
3. SLEEP: In SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge turns off the high-frequency oscillator and exists in a reducedpower
state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations.
4. SLEEP+: In SLEEP+ mode, both low-frequency and high-frequency oscillators are active. Although the
SLEEP+ mode has higher current consumption than the SLEEP mode, it is also a reduced power mode.
5. HIBERNATE: In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in a low power state, but can be woken up by
communication or certain I/O activity.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 6.
7.4.2 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
fuel gauge (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 Flags() [BAT_DET] bit, and selecting
the appropriate battery profiles.
Some commands, issued by a system processor, can be processed while the fuel gauge is halted in this mode.
The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting battery insertion.
7.4.3 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.
7.4.4 SLEEP Mode
SLEEP mode is entered automatically if the feature is enabled (Op Config [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 fuel gauge performs a coulomb counter autocalibration to minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However, a
majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The fuel gauge exits SLEEP mode 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.
7.4.5 SLEEP+ Mode
Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high-frequency oscillator in operation. The
communication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ mode 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 fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However,
a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The fuel gauge exits SLEEP+ mode if any entry condition is broken, specifically when:

Device Functional Modes (continued)
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.
7.4.6 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 system equipment is set to its own HIBERNATE,
SHUTDOWN, or OFF mode.
Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the CONTROL_STATUS
[HIBERNATE] bit. 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 remains in HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge or a
POR occurs. Any I2C communication that is not directed to the gauge does not wake the gauge.
It is the responsibility of the system to wake the fuel gauge after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After
waking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, and so
forth).

7.5.1 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. 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 details are found in the bq27532-G1

7.5.3 Charger Data Commands
The charger registers are mapped to a series of single-byte Charger Data Commands to enable system reading
and writing of battery charger registers. During charger power up, the registers are initialized to Charger Reset
State. The fuel gauge can change the values of these registers during the System Reset State.
Each of the bits in the Charger Data Commands can be read or write. Note that System Access can be different
from the read or write access as defined in bq2425x charger hardware. The fuel gauge may block write access to
the charger hardware when the bit function is controlled by the fuel gauge exclusively. For example, the
[VBATREGx] bits of Chrgr_Reg2 are controlled by the fuel gauge and cannot be modified by system.
The fuel gauge reads the corresponding registers of Chrgr_Reg0( ) and Chrgr_Reg2( ) every second to mirror
the charger status. Other registers in the bq2425x device are read when registers are modified by the fuel gauge.

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.

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).

7.5.4.2 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. If an external condition is holding either of
the lines low, the I2C engine enters the low-power SLEEP mode.
7.5.4.3 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 to 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.

7.5.4.4 I2C Clock Stretching
A clock stretch can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a short
clock stretch occurs on all I2C traffic as the device must wake-up to process the packet. In the other modes
(INITIALIZATION, NORMAL) clock stretching only occurs for packets addressed for the fuel gauge. The majority
of clock stretch periods are small as the I2C interface performs normal data flow control. However, less frequent
yet more significant clock stretch periods may occur as blocks of data flash are updated. The following table
summarizes the approximate clock stretch duration for various fuel gauge operating conditions.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.1 Design Requirements
Several key parameters must be updated to align with a given application's battery characteristics. For highest
accuracy gauging, it is important to follow-up this initial configuration with a learning cycle to optimize resistance
and maximum chemical capacity (Qmax) values prior to sealing and shipping systems to the field. Successful
and accurate configuration of the fuel gauge for a target application can be used as the basis for creating a
"golden" gas gauge (.fs) file that can be written to all gauges, assuming identical pack design and Li-ion cell
origin (chemistry, lot, and so on). Calibration data is included as part of this golden GG file to cut down on
system production time. If going this route, it is recommended to average the voltage and current measurement
calibration data from a large sample size and use these in the golden file. Table 5, Key Data Flash Parameters
for Configuration, shows the items that should be configured to achieve reliable protection and accurate gauging
with minimal initial configuration.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 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.

SLUSBU6B – SEPTEMBER 2014 – REVISED JANUARY 2016
8.2.2.2 SRP and SRN Current Sense Inputs
The filter network at the input to the coulomb counter is intended to improve differential mode rejection of voltage
measured across the sense resistor. These components should be placed as close as possible to the coulomb
counter inputs and the routing of the differential traces length-matched to best minimize impedance mismatchinduced measurement errors.
8.2.2.3 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, 100 ppm drift
sense resistor with a 1-W power rating.
8.2.2.4 TS Temperature Sense Input
Similar to the BAT pin, a ceramic decoupling capacitor for the TS pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple away
from the high-impedance ADC input, minimizing measurement error. Another helpful advantage is that the
capacitor provides additional ESD protection since the TS input to system may be accessible in systems that use
removable battery packs. It should be placed as close as possible to the respective input pin for optimal filtering
performance.
8.2.2.5 Thermistor Selection
The fuel gauge temperature sensing circuitry is designed to work with a negative temperature coefficient-type
(NTC) thermistor with a characteristic 10-kΩ resistance at room temperature (25°C). The default curve-fitting
coefficients configured in the fuel gauge specifically assume a 103AT-2 type thermistor profile and so that is the
default recommendation for thermistor selection purposes. Moving to a separate thermistor resistance profile (for
example, JT-2 or others) requires an update to the default thermistor coefficients in data flash to ensure highest
accuracy temperature measurement performance.
8.2.2.6 REGIN Power Supply Input Filtering
A ceramic capacitor is placed at the input to the fuel gauge internal LDO to increase power supply rejection
(PSR) and improve effective line regulation. It ensures that voltage ripple is rejected to ground instead of
coupling into the internal supply rails of the fuel gauge.
8.2.2.7 VCC LDO Output Filtering
A ceramic capacitor is also needed at the output of the internal LDO to provide a current reservoir for fuel gauge
load peaks during high peripheral utilization. It acts to stabilize the regulator output and reduce core voltage
ripple inside of the fuel gauge.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Power Supply Decoupling
Both the REGIN input pin and the VCC output pin require low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic
capacitors placed as closely as possible to the respective pins to optimize ripple rejection and provide a stable
and dependable power rail that is resilient to line transients. A 0.1-µF capacitor at the REGIN and a 1-µF
capacitor at VCC will suffice for satisfactory device performance.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
10.1.1 Sense Resistor Connections
Kelvin connections at the sense resistor are just as critical as those for the battery terminals themselves. The
differential traces should be connected at the inside of the sense resistor pads and not anywhere along the highcurrent trace path to prevent false increases to measured current that could result when measuring between the
sum of the sense resistor and trace resistance between the tap points. In addition, the routing of these leads
from the sense resistor to the input filter network and finally into the SRP and SRN pins needs to be as closely
matched in length as possible else additional measurement offset could occur. It is further recommended to add
copper trace or pour-based "guard rings" around the perimeter of the filter network and coulomb counter inputs to
shield these sensitive pins from radiated EMI into the sense nodes. This prevents differential voltage shifts that
could be interpreted as real current change to the fuel gauge. All of the filter components need to be placed as
close as possible to the coulomb counter input pins.
10.1.2 Thermistor Connections
The thermistor sense input should include a ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close to the TS input pin as
possible. The capacitor helps to filter measurements of any stray transients as the voltage bias circuit pulses
periodically during temperature sensing windows.
10.1.3 High-Current and Low-Current Path Separation
For best possible noise performance, it is extremely important to separate the low-current and high-current loops
to different areas of the board layout. The fuel gauge and all support components should be situated on one side
of the boards and tap off of the high-current loop (for measurement purposes) at the sense resistor. Routing the
low-current ground around instead of under high-current traces will further help to improve noise rejection.
