Features
General Description
➤ Conservative and repeatable
measurement of available charge
in rechargeable batteries
The bq2011K Gas Gauge IC is intended for battery-pack installation to
maintain an accurate record of a battery’s available charge. The IC monitors a voltage drop across a sense resistor connected in series between the
negative battery terminal and ground
to determine charge and discharge activity of the battery. The bq2011K is
designed for systems such as power
tools with very high discharge rates.

Pin Connections
Battery self-discharge is estimated
based on an internal timer and temperature sensor. Compensations for
battery temperature and rate of
charge or discharge are applied to
the charge, discharge, and
selfdischarge calculations to provide
available charge information across
a wide range of operating conditions.
Initial battery capacity is set using
the PROG1-4 and SPFC pins. Actual
battery capacity is automatically
“learned” in the course of a discharge cycle from full to empty and
may be displayed depending on the
display mode.
Nominal available charge may be directly indicated using a five-segment LED display. These segments
are used to graphically indicate
nominal available charge.
The bq2011K supports a simple
single-line bidirectional serial link to
an external processor (common
ground). The bq2011K outputs battery information in response to external commands over the serial link. To
support subassembly testing, the
outputs may also be controlled by
command. The external processor
may also overwrite some of the
bq2011K gas gauge data registers.
The bq2011K may operate directly
from four cells. With the REF output and an external transistor, a
simple, inexpensive regulator can be
built to provide VCC from a greater
number of cells.
Internal registers include available
charge, temperature, capacity, battery
ID, and battery status.

and VSR < VSS indicates charge. The effective voltage drop, VSRO, as seen by the
bq2011K is VSR + VOS (see Table 4).

Figure 1 shows a typical battery pack application of the
bq2011K using the LED display with absolute mode as a
charge-state indicator. The absolute display mode uses
the programmed full count (PFC) as the full reference,
forcing each segment of the display to represent a fixed
amount of charge. A push-button display feature is
available for momentarily enabling the LED display.
Functional Description
General Operation
The bq2011K determines battery capacity by monitoring
the amount of charge input to or removed from a rechargeable battery. The bq2011K measures discharge and charge
currents, estimates self-discharge, monitors the battery for
low-battery voltage thresholds, and compensates for temperature and charge/discharge rates. The charge measurement is made by monitoring the voltage across a smallvalue series sense resistor between the battery’s negative
terminal and ground. The available battery charge is determined by monitoring this voltage over time and correcting the measurement for the environmental and operating
conditions.
The bq2011K monitors the charge and discharge currents as a voltage across a sense resistor (see RS in Figure 1). A filter between the negative battery terminal
and the SR pin may be required if the rate of change of
the battery current is too great.

TMPGG (hex)
After VCC rises above 3.0V, the bq2011K checks the internal
registers for data loss or corruption. If data has changed,
then the NAC register is cleared, and the LMD register is
loaded with the initial PFC.
Voltage Thresholds
In conjunction with monitoring VSR for charge/discharge
currents, the bq2011K monitors the single-cell battery potential through the SB pin. The single-cell voltage potential is determined through a resistor-divider network per
the following equation:
RB1
= N −1
RB2
where N is the number of cells, RB1 is connected to the
positive battery terminal, and RB2 is connected to the
negative battery terminal. The single-cell battery voltage is monitored for the end-of-discharge voltage (EDV)
and for maximum cell voltage (MCV). The EDV threshold level is used to determine when the battery has
reached an “empty” state, and the MCV threshold is used
for fault detection during charging. The MCV threshold
for the bq2011K is fixed at:
0x

Layout Considerations
The bq2011K measures the voltage differential between
the SR and VSS pins. VOS (the offset voltage at the SR
pin) is greatly affected by PC board layout. For optimal
results, the PC board layout should follow the strict rule of
a single-point ground return. Sharing high-current
ground with small signal ground causes undesirable noise
on the small signal nodes. Additionally:
VMCV = 2.00V
The EDV threshold varies as a function of discharge current as follows:
VSRO (mV)
0 < VSRO ≤ 10
10 < VSRO ≤ 20
20 < VSRO ≤ 40
40 < VSRO ≤ 60
VSRO > 60

Reset
Reset can be accomplished with a command over the serial port as described on page 13.
■
The capacitors (SB and VCC) should be placed as
close as possible to the SB and VCC pins, respectively,
and their paths to VSS should be as short as possible.
A high-quality ceramic capacitor of 0.1µf is
recommended for VCC.
■
The sense resistor (RS) should be as close as possible
to the bq2011K.
■
The R-C on the SR pin should be located as close as
possible to the SR pin. The maximum R should not
exceed 20K.
Gas Gauge Operation
The operational overview diagram in Figure 2 illustrates the operation of the bq2011K. The bq2011K accumulates a measure of charge and discharge currents, as
well as an estimation of self-discharge. Charge currents
are temperature and rate compensated, whereas selfdischarge is only temperature compensated.
Temperature
The bq2011K internally determines the temperature in
10°C steps centered from -35°C to +85°C. The temperature steps are used to adapt charge and discharge rate
compensations, self-discharge counting, and available
charge display translation. The temperature range is
available over the serial port in 10°C increments as
shown below:
The main counter, Nominal Available Charge (NAC),
represents the available battery capacity at any given
time. Battery charging increments the NAC register,
while battery discharging and self-discharge decrement

bq2011K
the NAC register and increment the DCR (Discharge
Count Register).
2.
Programmed Full Count (PFC) or initial battery capacity:
The Discharge Count Register (DCR) is used to update
the Last Measured Discharge (LMD) register only if a
complete battery discharge from full to empty occurs
without any partial battery charges. Therefore, the
bq2011K adapts its capacity determination based on the
actual conditions of discharge.
The initial LMD and gas gauge rate values are programmed by using PFC. The PFC also provides the
100% reference for the absolute display mode. The
bq2011K is configured for a given application by selecting a PFC value from Table 1. The correct PFC
may be determined by multiplying the rated battery capacity in mAh by the sense resistor value:
The battery’s initial capacity is equal to the Programmed Full Count (PFC) shown in Table 1. Until
LMD is updated, NAC counts up to but not beyond this
threshold during subsequent charges. This approach allows the gas gauge to be charger-independent and compatible with any type of charge regime.
1.
Battery capacity (mAh) * sense resistor (Ω) =
PFC (mVh)
Selecting a PFC slightly less than the rated capacity for absolute mode provides capacity above the
full reference for much of the battery’s life.
Last Measured Discharge (LMD) or learned
battery capacity:
Example: Selecting a PFC Value
LMD is the last measured discharge capacity of the
battery. On initialization (application of VCC or battery replacement), LMD = PFC. During subsequent
discharges, the LMD is updated with the latest
measured capacity in the Discharge Count Register
(DCR) representing a discharge from full to below
EDV. A qualified discharge is necessary for a capacity transfer from the DCR to the LMD register.
The LMD also serves as the 100% reference threshold used by the relative display mode.

Nominal Available Charge (NAC):
NAC counts up during charge to a maximum value
of LMD and down during discharge and self discharge to 0. NAC is reset to 0 on initialization and
on the first valid charge following discharge to EDV.
To prevent overstatement of charge during periods
of overcharge, NAC stops incrementing when NAC
= LMD.

Discharge Count Register (DCR):
Self-Discharge Estimation
The DCR counts up during discharge independent
of NAC and could continue increasing after NAC
has decremented to 0. Prior to NAC = 0 (empty
battery), both discharge and self-discharge increment the DCR. After NAC = 0, only discharge increments the DCR. The DCR resets to 0 when NAC
= LMD. The DCR does not roll over but stops
counting when it reaches FFFFh.
The bq2011K continuously decrements NAC and increments DCR for self-discharge based on time and temperature. The self-discharge count rate is programmed
to be a nominal 1 80 * NAC rate per day or disabled per
Table 2. This is the rate for a battery temperature between 20–30°C. The NAC register cannot not be decremented below 0.
The DCR value becomes the new LMD value on the
first charge after a valid discharge to VEDV if:
Count Compensations
The bq2011K determines fast charge when the NAC updates at a rate of ≥2 counts/sec. Charge activity is compensated for temperature and rate before updating the
NAC and/or DCR. Self-discharge estimation is compensated for temperature before updating the NAC or DCR.
No valid charge initiations (charges greater than
256 NAC counts; or 0.006 – 0.01C) occurred during
the period between NAC = LMD and EDV detected.
The self-discharge count is not more than 4096
counts (8% to 18% of PFC, specific percentage
threshold determined by PFC).
Charge Compensation
Two charge efficiency factors are used for trickle charge
and fast charge. Fast charge is defined as a rate of
charge resulting in ≥ 2 NAC counts/sec (≥ 0.15C to 0.32C
depending on PFC selections; see Table 1). The compensation defaults to the fast charge factor until the actual
charge rate is determined.
The temperature is ≥ 0°C when the EDV level is
reached during discharge.
The valid discharge flag (VDQ) indicates whether
the present discharge is valid for LMD update.
Charge Counting
Temperature adapts the charge rate compensation factors over three ranges between nominal, warm, and hot
temperatures. The compensation factors are shown below.
Charge activity is detected based on a negative voltage
on the VSR input. If charge activity is detected, the
bq2011K increments NAC at a rate proportional to VSRO
(VSR + VOS) and, if enabled, activates an LED display
if VSRO < -2mV. Charge actions increment the NAC after compensation for charge rate and temperature.
The bq2011K determines a valid charge activity sustained at a continuous rate equivalent to VSRO < -400µV.
A valid charge equates to a sustained charge activity
greater than 256 NAC counts. Once a valid charge is detected, charge counting continues until V SRO rises
above -400µV.

All discharge counts where VSRO > 500µV cause the
NAC register to decrement and the DCR to increment.
Exceeding the fast discharge threshold (FDQ) if the rate
is equivalent to VSRO > 2mV activates the display, if enabled. The display remains active for 10 seconds after
VSRO falls below 2mV.
Corrections for the rate of discharge are made by adjusting EDV thresholds. The compensation factor used during discharge is set to 1.00 for all rates and temperatures. The recoverable charge at colder temperatures is
adjusted for display purposes only. See page 13.

bq2011K
Self-Discharge Compensation
Current-Sensing Error
The self-discharge compensation is programmed for a
nominal rate of 1 80 * NAC per day or disabled. This is
the rate for a battery within the 20–30°C temperature
range (TMPGG = 6x). This rate varies across 8 ranges
from 70°C, doubling with each higher temperature step (10°C). See Table 3.
Table 4 illustrates the current-sensing error as a function of V SR . A digital filter eliminates charge and
discharge counts to the NAC register when VSRO (VSR +
VOS) is between -400µV and 500µV.
Table 3. Self-Discharge Compensation
The bq2011K includes a simple single-pin (DQ plus return) serial data interface. A host processor uses the interface to access various bq2011K registers. Battery characteristics may be easily monitored by adding a single contact to the battery pack. The open-drain DQ pin on the
bq2011K should be pulled up by the host system, or may be
left floating if the serial interface is not used.

The interface uses a command-based protocol, where the
host processor sends a command byte to the bq2011K.
The command directs the bq2011K to either store the
next eight bits of data received to a register specified by
the command byte or output the eight bits of data specified by the command byte.

The communication protocol is asynchronous return-toone. Command and data bytes consist of a stream of eight
bits that have a maximum transmission rate of 333
bits/sec. The least-significant bit of a command or data
byte is transmitted first. The protocol is simple enough
that it can be implemented by most host processors using
either polled or interrupt processing. Data input from the
bq2011K may be sampled using the pulse-width capture
timers available on some microcontrollers.

Error Summary
The LMD is susceptible to error on initialization or if no
updates occur. On initialization, the LMD value includes the error between the programmed full capacity
and the actual capacity. This error is present until a
valid discharge occurs and LMD is updated (see the
DCR description in the “Layout Considerations” section).
The other cause of LMD error is battery wear-out. As
the battery ages, the measured capacity must be adjusted to account for changes in actual battery capacity.
Communication is normally initiated by the host processor sending a BREAK command to the bq2011K. A
BREAK is detected when the DQ pin is driven to a
logic-low state for a time, tB or greater. The DQ pin
should then be returned to its normal ready-high logic
state for a time, tBR. The bq2011K is now ready to receive a command from the host processor.
The return-to-one data bit frame consists of three distinct
sections. The first section is used to start the transmission
by either the host or the bq2011K taking the DQ pin to a

actual data transmission, where the data should be valid by
a period, tDSU, after the negative edge used to start communication. The data should be held for a period, tDV, to allow
the host or bq2011K to sample the data bit.
The W/R bit of the command register is used to select
whether the received command is for a read or a write
function.
The final section is used to stop the transmission by returning the DQ pin to a logic-high state by at least a period,
tSSU, after the negative edge used to start communication.
The final logic-high state should be held until a period, tSV,
to allow time to ensure that the bit transmission was
stopped properly. The timings for data and break communication are given in the serial communication timing specification and illustration sections.

If SEG4 = 0 on reset, then NACH = PFC and NACL = 0.
If SEG4 = Z or H, the NACH and NACL registers are
cleared to zero. NACL stops counting when NACH
reaches zero. When the bq2011K detects a valid charge,
NACL resets to zero; writing to the NAC register affects
the available charge counts and, therefore, affects the
bq2011K gas gauge operation.

The read/write NACH register (address=03h) and the
read-only NACL register (address=17h) are the main
gas gauging registers for the bq2011K. The NAC registers are incremented during charge actions and decremented during discharge and self-discharge actions.
The correction factors for charge/discharge efficiency are
applied automatically to NAC.
The read/write BATID register (address=04h) is available for use by the system to determine the type of battery pack. The BATID contents are retained as long as
VCC is greater than 2V. The contents of BATID have no
effect on the operation of the bq2011K. There is no default setting for this register.
Last Measured Discharge Register (LMD)
LMD is a read/write register (address=05h) that the
bq2011K uses as a measured full reference. The
bq2011K adjusts LMD based on the measured discharge
capacity of the battery from full to empty. In this way
the bq2011K updates the capacity of the battery. LMD
is set to PFC during a bq2011K reset.
The bq2011K calculates the available charge as a function of NAC, temperature, and a full reference, either
LMD or PFC. The results of the calculation are available via the display port or the gas gauge field of the
TMPGG register. The register is used to give available
capacity in 1 16 increments from 0 to 15 16.

The read-only FLGS2 register (address=06h) contains

The charge rate flag (CR) is used to denote the fast
charge regime. Fast charge is assumed whenever a
charge action is initiated. The CR flag remains asserted
if the charge rate does not fall below 2 counts/sec.
The gas gauge display and the gas gauge portion of the
TMPGG register are adjusted for cold temperature dependencies. A piece-wise correction is performed as follows:

The fast charge regime efficiency factors are used when
CR = 1. When CR = 0, the trickle charge efficiency factors are used. The time to change CR varies due to the
user-selectable count rates.
Reset Register (RST)
The reset register (address=39h) provides the means to
perform a software-controlled reset of the device. A full
device reset may be accomplished by first writing LMD
(address = 05h) to 00h and then writing the RST register contents from 00h to 80h. Setting any bit other than
the most-significant bit of the RST register is not allowed, and results in improper operation of the
bq2011K.
The discharge rate flags, DR2–0, are bits 6–4.

The bq2011K can directly display capacity information
using low-power LEDs. If LEDs are used, the segment
pins should be tied to VCC, the battery, or the LCOM pin
through resistors for programming the bq2011K.
The bq2011K displays the battery charge state in absolute mode. In absolute mode, each segment represents a
fixed amount of charge, based on the initial PFC. In absolute mode, each segment represents 20% of the PFC.
As the battery wears out over time, it is possible for the
LMD to be below the initial PFC. In this case, all of the
LEDs may not turn on, representing the reduction in
the actual battery capacity.
The overload flag (OVLD) is asserted when a discharge
overload is detected, VSRO > 60mV. OVLD remains asserted as long as the condition is valid.

The capacity display is also adjusted for the present battery temperature. The temperature adjustment reflects
the available capacity at a given temperature but does not
affect the NAC register. The temperature adjustments are
detailed in the TMPGG register description.
Output Control Register (OCTL)
The write-only OCTL register (address=0ah) provides the
system with a means to check the display connections for
the bq2011K. The segment drivers may be overwritten by
data from OCTL when the least-significant bit of OCTL,
OCE, is set. The data in bits OC5–1 of the OCTL register
(see Table 5 for details) is output onto the segment pins,
SEG5–1, respectively if OCE=1. Whenever OCE is written
to 1, the MSB of OCTL should be set to a 1. The OCE register location must be cleared to return the bq2011K to
normal operation. OCE may be cleared by either writing
the bit to a logic zero via the serial port or by resetting the
bq2011K as explained below. Note: Whenever the OCTL
register is written, the MSB of OCTL should be written to a
logic one.
When DISP is tied to VCC, the SEG1–5 outputs are inactive. When DISP is left floating, the display becomes active during charge if the NAC registers are counting at a
rate equivalent to VSRO < -2mV or fast discharge if the
NAC registers are counting at a rate equivalent to VSRO
> 2mV. When DISP is left floating, the display also becomes active after the detection of a discharge signal
with a minimum amplitude of VSR > 20mV (10A for RS =
0.002Ω) and a minimum pulse width of 25ms. When
DISP is pulled low, the segment outputs become active
for 4s, ± 0.5s.
13
bq2011K
The segment outputs are modulated as two banks, with
segments 1, 3, and 5 alternating with segments 2 and 4.
The segment outputs are modulated at approximately
320Hz, with each bank active for 30% of the period.
Microregulator
The bq2011K can operate directly from 4 cells. To facilitate the power supply requirements of the bq2011K, an
REF output is provided to regulate an external lowthreshold n-FET. A micropower source for the bq2011K
can be inexpensively built using the FET and an external resistor.
SEG1 blinks at a 4Hz rate whenever VSB has been detected to be below VEDV to indicate a low-battery condition or NAC is less than 10% of PFC.
