SLUUAQ3A April 2016 – October 2022 BQ4050
ACK | Acknowledge character |
ADC | Analog-to-digital converter |
BCA | Board calibration |
BI | Battery insert |
CC | Coulomb counter |
CCA | Coulomb counter calibration |
CE | Chip enable |
CHARGE Mode | Refers to a mode to where the gauge read Current() > Chg Current Threshold for at least 1 second. |
Clear | Refers to a bit in a register becoming a logic LOW or 0. The Battery Management Studio (BQStudio) software represents a clear bit with the color green. |
cWh | Centiwatt-hour |
CMT | Current measurement time |
DISCHARGE Mode | Refers to a mode where the gauge read Current() < (–)Dsg Current Threshold for at least 1 second. |
DOD | Depth of discharge in percent as related to Qmax. 100% corresponds to empty battery. |
DOD0 | Depth of discharge that was looked up in the DOD (OCV) table based on OCV measurement in relaxed state. |
EOC | End of charge |
FC | Fully charged |
FCC | Full charge capacity. Total capacity of the battery compensated for present load current, temperature, and aging effects (reduction in chemical capacity and increase in internal impedance). |
FIFO | First in, first out |
Flag | This word usually represents a read-only status bit that indicates some action has occurred or is occurring. This bit typically cannot be modified. The flags are set and cleared automatically by the fuel gauge. |
FVCA | Fast voltage and current acquisition |
GPIO | General-purpose input output |
HDQ | High-speed data queue |
IC | Integrated circuit |
ID | Identification |
IO | Input or output |
I2C | Inter-integrated circuit |
LDO | Low dropout |
LSB | Least significant bit |
LT | Lifetime |
MAC | Manufacturer Access Control |
mAh | Milliamp-hour |
MSB | Most significant bit |
mWh | Milliwatt-hour |
NACK | Negative acknowledge character |
NTC | Negative temperature coefficient |
OCV | Open-circuit voltage. Voltage measured on fully-relaxed battery with no load applied. |
OTC | Overtemperature in charge |
OTD | Overtemperature in discharge |
PFC | Pin function code |
POR | Power-on reset |
Qmax | Maximum chemical capacity |
QC | Qualification and calculation |
QT | Qualification time |
RELAXATION Mode | Refers to a mode to where the gauge read Current() < Quit Current for at least 60 seconds. |
RM | Remaining capacity |
RW | Read or write |
SCL | Serial clock: programmable serial clock used in the I2C interface |
SDA | Serial data: serial data bus in the I2C interface |
SE | Shutdown enable |
Set | Refers to a bit in a register becoming a logic HIGH or 1. The Battery Management Studio (BQStudio) software represents a set bit with the color red. |
SOC | State-of-charge in percent related to FCC |
SOC1 | State-of-charge initial |
SOCF | State-of-charge final |
System | The word system is sometimes used in this document. When used, it always means a host system that is consuming current from the battery pack. |
TCA | Terminate charge alarm |
TMT | Temperature measurement time |
TS | Temperature status |
TTE | Time-to-empty |
TTF | Time-to-full |
VIT | Voltage, current, temperature |
VMT | Voltage measurement time |
