8.1 Application Information

The BQ27426 fuel gauge is a microcontroller peripheral that provides system-side fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion batteries. Battery fuel gauging with the fuel gauge requires connections only to PACK+ and PACK– for a removable battery pack or embedded battery circuit. To allow for optimal performance in the end application, special considerations must be taken to ensure minimization of measurement error through proper printed circuit board (PCB) board layout. Such requirements are detailed in Section 8.2.1.
