bq27501
System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge
SLUS785D – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2008
www.ti.com
The bq27500/1 accurately predicts the battery capacity and other operational characteristics of a singleLi-based rechargeable cell. It can be interrogated by a system processor to provide cell information, suchas state-of-charge (SOC), time-to-empty (TTE) and time-to-full (TTF).
Information is accessed through a series of commands, called Standard Commands. Further capabilitiesare provided by the additional Extended Commands set. Both sets of commands, indicated by the generalformat Command( ), are used to read and write information contained within the bq27500/1 control andstatus registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using thebq27500/1 I
2
C serial communications engine, and can be executed during application development, packmanufacture, or end-equipment operation.
Cell information is stored in the bq27500/1 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flashlocations are accessible during application development. They cannot be accessed directly duringend-equipment operation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27500/1companion evaluation software, through individual commands, or through a sequence of data-flash-accesscommands. To access a desired data flash location, the correct data flash subclass and offset must beknown.
The bq27500/1 provides 96 bytes of user-programmable data flash memory, partitioned into three 32-byteblocks: Manufacturer Info Block A,Manufacturer Info Block B, and Manufacturer Info Block C. Thisdata space is accessed through a data flash interface. For specifics on accessing the data flash, seeSection 4.3 , Manufacturer Information Blocks.
The key to the high-accuracy fuel gauging prediction of the bq27500/1 is Texas Instruments' proprietaryImpedance Track™ algorithm. This algorithm uses cell measurements, characteristics, and properties tocreate state-of-charge predictions that can achieve less than 1% error across a wide variety of operatingconditions and over the lifetime of the battery.
The bq27500/1 measures charge/discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value seriessense resistor (5 m Ωto 20 m Ω, typ.) located between the system Vss and the battery PACK– terminal.When a cell is attached to the bq27500/1, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cellopen-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27500/1 must use an NTC thermistor Semitec 103AT for temperature measurement, or can alsobe configured to use its internal temperature sensor. The bq27500/1 uses temperature to monitor thebattery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging and cell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27500/1 has several power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP,HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27500/1 passes automatically between these modes,depending upon the occurrence of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of thesemodes directly. More details can be found in Section 5.7 ,Power Modes.

www.ti.com
SLUS785D – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2008
The bq27500/1 uses a series of 2-byte standard commands to enable system reading and writing ofbattery information. Each standard command has an associated command-code pair, as indicated inTable 4-1 . Because each command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I
2
C transmissions mustbe executed both to initiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes ofdata. Additional options for transferring data, such as spooling, are described in Section 7 ,I
2
C Interface.Standard commands are accessible in NORMAL operation. Read/write permissions depend on the activeaccess mode, SEALED or UNSEALED (for details on the SEALED and UNSEALED states, seeSection 4.4 ,Access Modes).

The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband (3-mAdefault) and is less than or equal to 2 ×Initial Standby. The first and last values that meet this criteria arenot averaged in, because they may not be stable values. To approximate a 1-minute time constant, eachnew StandbyCurrent( ) value is computed as follows:StandbyCurrent( )
NEW
= (239/256) ×StandbyCurrent( )
OLD
+ (17/256) ×AverageCurrent( ).
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at thestandby rate of discharge, in minutes. The computation uses Nominal Available Capacity (NAC), theuncompensated remaining capacity, for this computation. A value of 65,535 indicates battery is not beingdischarged.
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 loadcurrent programmed in Initial Max Load Current. If the measured current is ever greater than Initial MaxLoad Current, then MaxLoadCurrent( ) updates to the new current. MaxLoadCurrent( ) is reduced to theaverage of the previous value and Initial Max Load Current whenever the battery is charged to full aftera previous discharge to an SOC less than 50%. This prevents the reported value from maintaining anunusually high value.

UNSEALED Access: This command is used to control data flash access mode. Writing 0x00 to thiscommand enables BlockData( ) to access general data flash. Writing a 0x01 to this command enablesSEALED mode operation of DataFlashBlock( ).
SEALED Access: This command is not available in SEALED mode.
UNSEALED and SEALED Access: This byte contains the length of the Device Name.
UNSEALED and SEALED Access: This block contains the device name that is programmed in DeviceName.
This byte function allows the system to read the bq27500/1 Application Status data flash location. SeeTable 6-1 for specific bit definitions.
The bq27500/1 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27500/1 initialization, default, cellstatus, calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several differentways, depending on what mode the bq27500/1 is operating in and what data is being accessed.
Commonly accessed data flash memory locations, frequently read by a system, are convenientlyaccessed through specific instructions, already described in Section 4.1 ,DATA COMMANDS. Thesecommands are available when the bq27500/1 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27500/1evaluation software or by data flash block transfers. These locations must be optimized and/or fixed duringthe development and manufacture processes. They become part of a golden image file and can then bewritten to multiple battery packs. Once established, the values generally remain unchanged duringend-equipment operation.
To access data flash locations individually, the block containing the desired data flash location(s) must betransferred to the command register locations, where the information can be read to the system orchanged directly. This is accomplished by sending the setup command BlockDataControl( ) (0x61) withdata 0x00. Up to 32 bytes of data can be read directly from the BlockData( ) (0x40 …0x5f), externallyaltered, 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( ) commandspace. Finally, the data residing in the command space is transferred to data flash, once the correctchecksum for the whole block is written to BlockDataChecksum( ) (0x60).
Occasionally, a data flash CLASS is larger than the 32-byte block size. In this case, the DataFlashBlock( )command is used to designate in which 32-byte block the desired information resides. The correctcommand address is then given by 0x40 + offset modulo 32. For example, to access Terminate Voltagein the Fuel 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 datalength exceeds the maximum block size, then the data is ignored.

SLUS785D – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2008
None of the data written to memory are bounded by the bq27500/1– the values are not rejected by thefuel gauge. Writing an incorrect value may result in hardware failure due to firmware programinterpretation of the invalid data. The written data is persistent, so a power-on reset does resolve the fault.
The bq27500/1 contains 96 bytes of user programmable data flash storage: Manufacturer Info Block A,Manufacturer Info Block B,Manufacturer Info Block C. The method for accessing these memorylocations 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 themanufacturer information blocks is identical to accessing general data flash locations. First, aDataFlashClass( ) command is used to set the subclass, then a DataFlashBlock( ) command sets theoffset for the first data flash address within the subclass. The BlockData( ) command codes contain thereferenced data flash data. When writing the data flash, a checksum is expected to be received byBlockDataChecksum( ). Only when the checksum is received and verified is the data actually written todata 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 neededto address Manufacturer Info Block B, but is used instead for grouping purposes when viewing dataflash info in the bq27500/1 evaluation software.
When in SEALED mode or when 0x01 BlockDataControl( ) does not contain 0x00, data flash is no longeravailable in the manner used in UNSEALED mode. Rather than issuing subclass information, adesignated manufacturer information block is selected with the DataFlashBlock( ) command. Issuing a0x01, 0x02, or 0x03 with this command causes the corresponding information block (A, B, or C,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 returnedto data flash. Note: Manufacturer Info Block A is read-only when in SEALED mode.
The bq27500/1 provides three security modes (FULL ACCESS, UNSEALED, and SEALED) that controldata flash access permissions, according to Table 4-6 .Public Access refers to those data flash locations,specified in Table 4-7 , that are accessible to the user. Private Access refers to reserved data flashlocations used by the bq27500/1 system. Care should be taken to avoid writing to Private data flashlocations when performing block writes in FULL ACCESS mode, by following the procedure outlined inSection 4.2.1 ,ACCESSING THE DATA FLASH.
Table 4-6. Data Flash Access
Security Mode DF – Public Access DF – Private Access
FULL ACCESS R/W R/WUNSEALED R/W R/WSEALED R N/A
Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows thebq27500/1 to write access-mode transition keys.
The bq27500/1 implements a key-access scheme to transition between SEALED, UNSEALED, andFULL-ACCESS modes. Each transition requires that a unique set of two keys be sent to the bq27500/1via the Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being writtento the Control( ) register between them. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from thecodes presented in the CNTL DATA column of Table 4-2 Control( ) subcommands.

When in SEALED mode, the CONTROL_STATUS [SS] bit is set, but when the unseal keys are correctlyreceived by the bq27500/1, the [SS] bit is cleared. When the full-access keys are correctly received, thenthe 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 unsealkey (stored at Unseal Key 0 and Unseal Key 1) and the full-access key (stored at Full-Access Key 0and Full-Access Key 1) can only be updated when in FULL-ACCESS mode. The order of the bytesentered through the Control( ) command is the reverse of what is read from the part. For example, if thefirst and second words of the Unseal Key 0 read returns 0x1234 and 0x5678, then the Control( ) shouldsupply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

The bq27500/1 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. Thebq27500/1 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5mΩto 20 m Ωtyp.) between the SRP and SRN pins and in series with the cell. By integrating chargepassing through a 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 withthe amount of charge passed. When an application load is applied, the impedance of the cell is measuredby comparing the OCV obtained from a predefined function for present SOC with the measured voltageunder load. Measurements of OCV and charge integration determine chemical state of charge andchemical capacity (Qmax). The initial Qmax values are taken from a cell manufacturers' data sheetmultiplied by the number of parallel cells. It is also used for the value in Design Capacity. The bq27500/1acquires and updates the battery-impedance profile during normal battery usage. It uses this profile, alongwith SOC and the Qmax value, to determine FullChargeCapacity( ) and StateOfCharge( ), specifically forthe present load and temperature. FullChargeCapacity( ) is reported as capacity available from a fullycharged 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 bq27500/1 has two flags accessed by the Flags( ) function that warn when a battery's SOC has fallento critical levels. When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the first capacity threshold, specified in SOC1Set Threshold, the [SOC1] (State of Charge Initial) flag is set. The flag is cleared onceRemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOC1 Clear Threshold. The bq27500/1's BAT_LOW pin automaticallyreflects the status of the [SOC1] flag. All units are in mAh.
When RemainingCapacity( ) falls below the second capacity threshold, SOCF Set Threshold, the [SOCF](State of Charge Final) flag is set, serving as a final discharge warning. Set SOCF Set Threshold = 0 todeactivate the feature. Similarly, when RemainingCapacity( ) rises above SOCF Clear Threshold and the[SOCF] flag has already been set, the [SOCF] flag is cleared. All units are in mAh.
The bq27500/1 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 theapplication as well as the cell itself.

Load Mode is used to select either the constant-current or constant-power model for the ImpedanceTrack™ algorithm as used in Load Select (see Load Select). When Load Mode is 0, the ConstantCurrent model is used (default). When 1, the Constant Power model is used. The [LDMD] bit ofCONTROL_STATUS reflects the status of Load Mode.

This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27500/1 to determine if actual dischargecurrent is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is 100 mA, which should be sufficientfor most applications.

This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the bq27500/1 to determine if actual chargecurrent is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register is 50 mA, which should be sufficient formost applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal charge current buthigh enough to prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.
The Quit Current is used as part of the Impedance Track™ algorithm to determine when the bq27500/1enters relaxation mode from a current-flowing mode in either the charge direction or the dischargedirection. The value of Quit Current is set to a default value of 10 mA and should be above the standbycurrent 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 30 minutes in relaxation mode, the bq27500/1 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. Anadditional requirement of dV/dt < 4 µV/s is required for the bq27500/1 to perform Qmax updates. Theseupdates are used in the Impedance Track™ algorithms. It is critical that the battery voltage be relaxedduring OCV readings to and that the current is not be higher than C/20 when attempting to go intorelaxation mode.
Quit Relax Time specifies the minimum time required for AverageCurrent( ) to remain above theQuitCurrent threshold before exiting relaxation mode.
Generically called Qmax, these dynamic variables contain the respective maximum chemical capacity ofthe active cell profiles, and are determined by comparing states of charge before and after applying theload with the amount of charge passed. They also correspond to capacity at a very low rate of discharge,such as the C/20 rate. For high accuracy, this value is periodically updated by the bq27500/1 duringoperation. Based on the battery cell capacity information, the initial value of chemical capacity should beentered in the Qmax nfield for each default cell profile. The Impedance Track™ algorithm updates thesevalues and maintains them the associated actual cell profiles.
Bit 0 (0x01) of the Update Status nregisters indicates that the bq27500/1 has learned new Qmaxparameters and is accurate. The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 0 is user-configurable; however, it isalso a status flag that can be set by the bq27500/1. Bit 0 should not be modified except when creating agolden image file as explained in the application note Preparing Optimized Default Flash Constants forspecific Battery Types (SLUA334 ). Bit 0 is updated as needed by the bq27500/1.
The bq27500 logs the current averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It storesthis average current from the previous discharge cycle in this register. This register should not bemodified. It is only updated by the bq27500/1 when required.
The bq27500/1 logs the power averaged from the beginning to the end of each discharge cycle. It storesthis average power from the previous discharge cycle in this register. To get a correct average powerreading the bq27500/1 continuously multiplies instantaneous current times Voltage( ) to get power. It thenlogs this data to derive the average power. This register should not be modified. It is only updated by thebq27500/1 when required.

These tables contain encoded data and, with the exception of the Default Ra Tables, are automaticallyupdated during device operation. No user changes should be made except for reading/writing the valuesfrom a pre-learned pack (part of the process for creating golden image files).
Some bq27500/1 pins are configured via the Operation Configuration data flash register, as indicated inTable 5-3 . This register is programmed/read via the methods described in Section 4.2.1 ,Accessing theData Flash. The register is located at subclass = 64, offset = 0.

The bq27500/1 has three possible pin-function variations that can be selected in accordance with thecircuit 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 bq27500/1 measures battery temperature under discharge andrelaxation conditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27500/1 about thetemperature 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 chargingtemperature falls outside of the preset range defined in data flash, a charger can be disabled via theBAT_GD pin until cell temperature recovers. See Section 5.6.2 ,Charge Inhibit, for additional details.
Finally when the PFC is set to 2, the battery thermistor can be shared between the fuel gauge and thecharger. The charger has full usage of the thermistor during battery charging. The fuel gauge uses thethermistor exclusively during discharge and battery relaxation.
The PFC is specified in Operation Configuration [PFC_CFG1, PFC_CFG0]. The default is PFC = 1.
The BAT_LOW pin provides a system processor with an electrical indicator of battery status. The signalingon the BAT_LOW pin follows the status of the [SOC1] bit in the Flags( ) register. Note that the polarity ofthe BAT_LOW pin can be inverted via the [BATL_POL] bit of Operation Configuration.

The bq27500/1 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargersand other ICs and subcircuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into the system, thiselectronics must be disabled, so that an accurate OCV can be read. The OCV is used for helpingdetermine 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 ofthe battery takes place and that any discharge is limited to less than C/20—these conditions are sufficientfor the fuel gauge to take an accurate OCV reading. To disable these functions, the BAT_GD pin is merelyset high (floating output pulled high). Once an OCV reading has be made, the BAT_GD pin is pulled low,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 configurationneed to be changed.
The flowchart of Figure 5-1 details how the BAT_GD pin functions in the context of battery insertion andremoval, as well as NORMAL vs SLEEP modes.
In PFC 1, the BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27500/1 reads batterytemperatures outside the range defined by [Charge Inhibit Temp Low, Charge Inhibit Temp High]. TheBAT_GD line is returned to low once temperature falls within the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low +Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High – Temp Hys].
During power-up or hibernate activities, or any other activity where the bq27500/1 must determine whethera battery is connected or not, the fuel gauge applies a test for battery presence. First, the BI/TOUT pin isput into high-Z status. The weak 1.8-M Ωpullup resistor keeps 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 is pulled low.This state is detected by the fuel gauge, which polls this pin every second when the gauge has power. Abattery disconnected status is assumed when the bq27500/1 reads a thermistor voltage that is near 2.5 V.

The bq27500/1 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperaturestatus information to the fuel gauging algorithm and charger-control sections of the gauge. Alternatively, itcan also measure internal temperature via its on-chip temperature sensor, but only if the [TEMPS] bit ofthe Operation Configuration register is cleared.
Regardless of which sensor is used for measurement, a system processor can request the current batterytemperature by calling the Temperature( ) function (see Section 4.1.1 ,Standard Data Commands, forspecific information).
The recommended thermistor circuit uses an external 103AT-type thermistor. Additional circuit informationfor connecting this thermistor to the bq27500/1 is shown in Section 8 ,Reference Schematic.
If during charging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Chg for a period of OT Chg Time andAverageCurrent( ) >Chg Current Threshold, then the [OTC] bit of Flags( ) is set.
If OT Chg Time = 0, then the feature is completely disabled. When Temperature( ) falls to OT ChgRecovery, the [OTC] of Flags( ) is reset.
If during discharging, Temperature( ) reaches the threshold of OT Dsg for a period of OT Dsg Time, andAverageCurrent( ) ≤–Dsg Current Threshold, then the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is set.
If OT Dsg Time = 0, then feature is completely disabled. When Temperature( ) falls to OT Dsg Recovery,the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
For proper bq27500/1 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default valuefor this variable is Charging Voltage = 4200 mV.
The bq27500/1 detects charge termination when (1) during 2 consecutive periods of Current TaperWindow,the AverageCurrent( ) is < Taper Current, (2) during the same periods, the accumulatedchange in capacity > 0.25 mAh / Current Taper Window, and (3) Voltage( ) >Charging Voltage – TaperVoltage. When this occurs, the [CHG] bit of Flags( ) is cleared. Also, if the [RMFCC] bit of OperationConfiguration is set, then RemainingCapacity( ) is set equal to FullChargeCapacity( ).
When PFC = 1, the bq27500/1 can indicate when battery temperature has fallen below or risen abovepredefined thresholds ( Charge Inhibit Temp Low and Charge Inhibit Temp High, respectively). In thismode, the BAT_GD line is made high to indicate this condition then returned to its low state, once batterytemperature returns to the range [Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys, Charge Inhibit Temp High –Temp Hys].
When PFC = 0 or 2, the bq27500/1 must be queried by the system in order to determine the batterytemperature. At that time, the bq27500/1 samples the temperature. This saves battery energy whenoperating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.

The bq27500/1 has four power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. InNORMAL mode, the bq27500/1 is fully powered and can execute any allowable task. In SLEEP mode, thefuel gauge exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations.In HIBERNATE mode, the fuel gauge is in its lowest power state, but can be woken up by communicationactivity or certain I/O activity. Finally, the BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered-up, but low-powerhalted state, where the bq27500/1 resides when no battery is inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 5-2 .
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 isupdated. Decisions to change states are also made. This mode is exited by activating a different powermode.
Because the gauge consumes the most power in NORMAL mode, the Impedance Track™ algorithmminimizes the time the fuel gauge remains in this 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 hasbeen qualified, but prior to entering it, the bq27500/1 performs an ADC autocalibration to minimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27500/1 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The bq27500/1 exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when (1) AverageCurrent( ) risesabove Sleep Current, or (2) a current in excess of I
WAKE
through R
SENSE
is detected.
In the event that a battery is removed from the system while a charger is present (and powering thegauge), Impedance Track™ updates are not necessary. Hence, the fuel gauge enters a state that checksfor battery insertion and does not continue executing the Impedance Track™ algorithm.
While in SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge can suspend serial communications as much as 4ms by holding theSDA pin low. This delay is necessary correctly process host communication, since the fuel gaugeprocessor is mostly halted while in SLEEP mode.
This mode is a halted-CPU state that occurs when an adapter or other power source is present to powerthe bq27500/1 (and system), yet no battery has been detected. When battery insertion is detected, aseries of initialization activities begins, which includes: OCV measurement, setting the BAT_GD pin, andselecting the appropriate battery profiles.
Some commands issued by a system processor can be processed while the bq27500/1 is halted in thismode. The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting batteryinsertion.

HIBERNATE mode should be used when the system equipment needs to enter a low-power state, andminimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when a system equipment is set to itsown HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF modes.
Before the fuel gauge can enter the HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the [HIBERNATE] bit of theCONTROL_STATUS register. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCVmeasurement and the magnitude of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. Thegauge can also enter HIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage, and a validOCV measurement has been taken. The gauge remains in HIBERNATE mode until the system issues adirect I

It is important that BAT_GD be set to disable status (no battery charging/discharging). This prevents acharger application from inadvertently charging the battery before an OCV reading can be taken. It is thesystem’s responsibility to wake the bq27500/1 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, thegauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, etc.)
When the bq27500/1 detects software reset ( [RESET] bit of Control( ) initiated), it determines the type ofreset and increments the corresponding counter. This information is accessible by issuing the commandControl( ) function with the RESET_DATA subcommand.
As shown in Figure 5-3 , if a partial reset was detected, a RAM checksum is generated and comparedagainst the previously stored checksum. If the checksum values do not match, the RAM is reinitialized (aFull Reset). The stored checksum is updated every time RAM is altered.

The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27500/1 is in eitherSLEEP or HIBERNATE mode. Operation Configuration uses bits [RSNS1–RSNS0] to set the senseresistor selection. Operation Configuration also uses the [IWAKE] bit to select one of two possiblevoltage threshold ranges for the given sense resistor selection. An internal interrupt is generated when thethreshold is reached in either the charge or discharge direction. Setting both [RSNS1] and [RSNS0] to 0disables this feature.

(1) The actual resistance value vs. the setting of the sense resistor is not important, just the actual voltagethreshold when calculating the configuration.
Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage( ) ≥Flash Update OK Voltage. Flash programming current cancause an increase in LDO dropout. The value of Flash Update OK Voltage should be selected such thatthe bq27500/1 V
CC
voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
The bq27500/1 provides an autocalibration feature that measures the voltage offset error across SRP andSRN as operating conditions change. It subtracts the resulting offset error from normal sense resistorvoltage, V
SR
, for maximum measurement accuracy.
Autocalibration of the ADC begins on entry to SLEEP mode, except if Temperature( ) is ≤5°C orTemperature( ) ≥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 calibrationis greater than 8 °C for ≥60 s}.
Capacity and current measurements continue at the last measured rate during the offset calibration whenthese measurements cannot be performed. If the battery voltage drops more than 32 mV during the offsetcalibration, the load current has likely increased considerably; hence, the offset calibration is aborted.

SLUS785D – SEPTEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2008
When a battery pack is removed from host equipment that implements the bq27500/01, the fuel gaugemaintains some of the battery information in case the battery is re-inserted. This way, the ImpedanceTrack™ algorithm has a means of recovering battery-status information, thereby maintaining goodstate-of-charge (SOC) estimates.
Two default battery profiles are available to store battery information. They are used to provide theImpedance Track™ algorithm with the default information on two possible battery types expected to beused with the end-equipment. These default profiles can be used to support batteries of differentchemistry, same chemistry but different capacities, or same chemistry but different models. Defaultprofiles are programmed by the end-equipment manufacturer. Note that in the case of bq27500, only oneof the default profiles can be selected, and this selection cannot be changed during end-equipmentoperation.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27500/01 maintains two abbreviated profiles. These tables holddynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent batteries used. In mostcases, the bq27500/01 can manage the information on two removable battery packs.
At power up, the BAT_GD pin is inactive, so that the host cannot obtain power from the battery (thisdepends on the actual implementation). In this state, the battery is put in an open-circuit condition. Next,the bq27500/1 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. 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 theinserted 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 defaultprofiles, Defn, for the same SOC (the letter ndepicts either a 0or 1).
The Application Status data flash location contains cell profile status information, and can be read usingthe ApplicationStatus( ) extended command (0x6a). The bit configuration of this function/location is shownin Table 6-1 .

The bq27500 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1profiles. When a battery pack is inserted for the first time, the default profile is copied into the Packnprofiles. Then the Impedance Track™ algorithm begins fuel gauging, regularly updating Packn as thebattery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27500 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cellimpedance is measured immediately after battery detection (see Section 6.1.2.1 ,First OCV and

Impedance Measurement). The bq27500 chooses the profile which is closest to the measured impedance,starting with the Packn profiles. That is, if the measured impedance matches Pack0, then the Pack0profile is used. If the measured impedance matches Pack1, then the Pack1 profile is used. If themeasured impedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack0 or Pack1, the battery pack isdeemed new (none of the previously used packs). The Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack0 orPack1 profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile used.
The bq27501 can manage the information of up to two battery packs. For a given pack connected to thefuel gauge, the identity of the battery is determined by a combination of (1) reading the pack ID resistor,(2) measuring the impedance of the currently connected pack, and (3) remembering which packcharacteristics were most recently used by the gauge.
A battery-pack ID resistor should connect to the RID pin of the fuel gauge. Either A-Ωor B-Ωresistorvalues should be used to indicate the battery type. If a battery connection is detected, then bq27501measures the voltage developed at RID. If the voltage is Pack 0 Voltage, then it is identified as batterypack with Aresistor and the bq27501 uses the Pack0 profile. If the voltage measured is Pack 1 Voltage,then it is identified as battery pack with Bresistor and the bq27501 uses Pack1 profile.
The measurement window around each threshold is specified by Pack V% Range, which indicates thepositive or negative deviation around each level. Choosing RID values of 500 Ωand 8 k Ωfor Aand B,respectively, correspond to Pack 0 Voltage and Pack 1 Voltage threshold levels of 110 mV and 1070mV, respectively.
If the bq27501 measures a voltage other than Pack 0 Voltage or Pack 1 Voltage, then it setsApplication Configuration [UNSUPBAT] to 1, alerting the host system that the inserted battery is notsupported. The fuel gauge also writes the measured voltage into Pack 2 Voltage for this unsupportedbattery. The host system can use this information to download the default profile for this battery if oneexists. The host system should unseal the gauge, then download the new battery profile into the olderDefn profile. The last-used profile is indicated by the Application Configuration [LU_PROF] bit.Overwriting the older default profile allows the bq27501 to retain information stored regarding the mostrecently used battery. After the new default profile is downloaded, the bq27501 sets ApplicationConfiguration [EN_SENC] to 0.
When a battery pack is inserted to the host for the first time, both the Packn profiles are empty. Thebq27501 copies the Def0 profile into Pack0 profile if the voltage measured on the RID pin is Pack 0Voltage. The Impedance Track™ algorithm then begins fuel gauging, updating the Pack0 profile as thebattery is used. Similarly, it copies the Def1 profile into Pack1 profile if the voltage measured on the RIDpin is Pack 1 Voltage, and the Impedance Track™ algorithm then begins fuel gauging, updating thePack1 profile as the battery is used.
Assuming the bq27501 has copied the Def0 profile into Pack0 for the first pack used in the system, if thepack is replaced with a second pack having the same resistor ID as the first, cell impedance is measuredafter pack detection as explained in Section 6.1.2.1 ,First OCV and Impedance Measurement. Thisimpedance is compared with the Pack0 and Def0 profiles. If it matches the Pack0 impedance, then thePack0 profile is used (this situation indicates the last pack used was re-inserted). If not, a new pack isassumed, so the bq27501 copies the Def0 profile into the empty Pack1 profile, and Pack1 is made theactive profile. This feature helps support accurate fuel gauging for two batteries with the same resistor ID.The logic behind this profile selection process is also applied to the case where the first pack insertedcauses the bq27501 to copy the Def1 profile into Pack1.
If both the cell profiles are no longer empty (indicating two different battery packs have been used in thesystem) and a battery is inserted, the bq27501 chooses the correct Packn profile to re-write. This decisionis based on the resistor ID, the impedance of the inserted battery, and the fact that the last-used batteryprofile should not be overwritten.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
