9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The Texas Instruments bq27425-G2 fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that provides system-side fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion batteries. The device requires minimal user configuration and system microcontroller firmware. Battery fuel gauging with the bq27425-G2 fuel gauge requires connections only to PACK+ (P+) and PACK– for a removable battery pack or embedded battery circuit.

9.2 Typical Application

9.2.1 Design Requirements

As shipped from the TI factory, many bq27425-G2 parameters in NVM are left in the unprogrammed state (zero) while some parameters directly associated with the CHEMID are preprogrammed. This partially programmed configuration facilitates customization for each end application. Upon device reset, the contents of NVM are copied to associated volatile RAM-based Data Memory blocks. For proper operation, all parameters in RAM-based Data Memory require initialization — either by updating Data Memory parameters in a lab or evaluation situation or by programming the NVM for customer production.

Table 9 shows the design parameter values that are present in the device.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 BAT/REGIN Voltage Sense Input

A ceramic capacitor at the input to the BAT/REGIN pin is used to bypass AC voltage ripple to ground, greatly reducing its influence on battery voltage measurements. It proves most effective in applications with load profiles that exhibit high-frequency current pulses (that is, cell phones) but is recommended for use in all applications to reduce noise on this sensitive high-impedance measurement node.

9.2.2.2 Integrated LDO Capacitor

The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VCC pin of approximately 2.5 V. A capacitor of value at least 1 μF should be connected between the VCC pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VCC pin and VSS.
