4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
bq27500-V120
System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge
SLUS880 OCTOBER 2008
www.ti.com
The bq27500 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 control andstatus registers, as well as its data flash locations. Commands are sent from system to gauge using thebq27500 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 in non-volatile flash memory. Many of these data flash locationsare accessible during application development. They cannot be accessed directly during end-equipmentoperation. Access to these locations is achieved by either use of the bq27500 companion evaluationsoftware, through individual commands, or through a sequence of data-flash-access commands. Toaccess a desired data flash location, the correct data flash subclass and offset must be known.
The bq27500 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 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 measures charge/discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value seriessense resistor (5 m to 20 m , typ.) located between the system Vss and the battery PACK– terminal.When a cell is attached to the bq27500, cell impedance is computed, based on cell current, cellopen-circuit voltage (OCV), and cell voltage under loading conditions.
The bq27500 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negativetemperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R
25
= 10.0K ±1% and B25/85 = 3435K ±1% (such asSemitec NTC 103AT). The bq27500 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. Whenan external themistor is used, a 18.2k pull up resistor between BT/TOUT and TS pins is also required. Thebq27500 uses temperature to monitor the battery-pack environment, which is used for fuel gauging andcell protection functionality.
To minimize power consumption, the bq27500 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP+, SLEEP,HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. The bq27500 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.

The register value is updated every 1 second when the measured current is above the Deadband inTable 4-7 and is less than or equal to 2 ×Initial Standby. The first and last values that meet this criteriaare not averaged in, because they may not be stable values. To approximate a 1-minute time constant,each new StandbyCurrent( ) value is computed by taking approximate 93% weight of the last standbycurrent and approximate 7% of the current measured average current.
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.
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery life at themaximum load current discharge rate, in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicates that the battery is not beingdischarged.
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted charge or energy remaining inthe battery. The value is reported in units of mWh.
This read-only function returns an signed integer value of the average power during battery charging anddischarging. A value of 0 indicates that the battery is not being discharged. The value is reported in unitsof mW.
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining operating time if thebattery is discharged at the AveragePower( ) value in minutes. A value of 65,535 indicatesAveragePower( ) = 0. The fuel gauge automatically updates TimeToEmptyatContantPower( ) based on theAveragePower( ) value every 1 s.
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the number of cycles the battery hasexperienced with a range of 0 to 65,535. One cycle occurs when accumulated discharge CC Threshold.
This read-only function returns an unsigned integer value of the predicted remaining battery capacityexpressed as a percentage of FullChargeCapacity( ), with a range of 0 to 100%.

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 Application Status data flash location. SeeTable 6-1 for specific bit definitions.
The bq27500 data flash is a non-volatile memory that contains bq27500 initialization, default, cell status,calibration, configuration, and user information. The data flash can be accessed in several different ways,depending on what mode the bq27500 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 is either in UNSEALED or SEALED modes.
Most data flash locations, however, are only accessible in UNSEALED mode by use of the bq27500evaluation 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.

System-Side Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge

SLUS880 OCTOBER 2008
None of the data written to memory are bounded by the bq27500– the values are not rejected by the fuelgauge. Writing an incorrect value may result in hardware failure due to firmware program interpretation ofthe invalid data. The written data is persistent, so a power-on reset does resolve the fault.
The bq27500 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 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 provides three security modes (FULL ACCESS, UNSEALED, and SEALED) that controldata flash access permissions, according to Table 4-6 .Data Flash refers to those data flash locations,specified in Table 4-7 , that are accessible to the user. Manufacture Information refers to the three 32-byteblocks.
Table 4-6. Data Flash Access
Security Mode Data Flash Manufacture Information
FULL ACCESS R/W RUNSEALED R/W RSEALED None R
Although FULL ACCESS and UNSEALED modes appear identical, only FULL ACCESS allows thebq27500 to write access-mode transition keys.
The bq27500 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 viathe Control( ) control command. The keys must be sent consecutively, with no other data being written tothe Control( ) register between them. Note that to avoid conflict, the keys must be different from the codespresented 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, 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 keys is Key1followed by Key 0. The order of the bytes entered through the Control( ) command is the reverse ofwhat is read from the part. For example, if the Key 1 and Key 0 of the Unseal Key returns 0x1234 and0x5678, then the Control( ) should supply 0x3412 and 0x7856 to unseal the part.

The bq27500 measures the cell voltage, temperature, and current to determine battery SOC. Thebq27500 monitors charge and discharge activity by sensing the voltage across a small-value resistor (5mto 20 m typ.) 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 bq27500acquires 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 (less than C/20)versions of RemainingCapacity( ) and FullChargeCapacity( ) respectively.
The bq27500 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'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 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.

The Quit Current is used as part of the Impedance Track™ algorithm to determine when the bq27500enters 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 in Table 4-7 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 5 minutes in relaxation mode, the bq27500 attempts to take accurate OCV readings. Anadditional requirement of dV/dt < 4 µV/s is required for the bq27500 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 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 has learned new Qmaxparameters and is accurate. The remaining bits are reserved. Bits 0 is is a status flag set by the bq27500.Bit 0 should not be modified except when creating a golden image file as explained in the application notePreparing Optimized Default Flash Constants for specific Battery Types (SLUA334 ). Bit 0 is updated asneeded by the bq27500.
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 when required.
The bq27500 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 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 when required.
The bq27500 stores the maximum difference of Voltage( ) during short load spikes and normal load, sothe Impedance Track™ algorithm can calculate remaining capacity for pulsed loads. It is notrecommended to change this value.

The bq27500 has three possible pin-function variations that can be selected in accordance with the circuitarchitecture 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 measures battery temperature under discharge and relaxationconditions. The charger does not receive any information from the bq27500 about the temperaturereadings, 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 must operate in conjunction with other electronics in a system appliance, such as chargersor other ICs and application circuits that draw appreciable power. After a battery is inserted into thesystem, there should be no charging or discharging current higher than C/20, so that an accurate OCVcan be read. The OCV is used for helping determine which battery profile to use, as it constitutes part ofthe 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 negated from the default setting. Once an OCV reading has be made, the BAT_GD pin is asserted,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.
In PFC 1, the BAT_GD pin is also used to disable battery charging when the bq27500 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 must determine whether abattery is connected or not, the fuel gauge applies a test for battery presence. First, the BI/TOUT pin is putinto high-Z status. The weak 1.8-M pullup resistor keeps the pin high while no battery is present. When abattery is inserted (or is already inserted) into the system device, the BI/TOUT pin is pulled low. This stateis detected by the fuel gauge, which polls this pin every second when the gauge has power. A batterydisconnected status is assumed when the bq27500 reads a thermistor voltage that is near 2.5 V.
The bq27500 measures battery temperature via its TS input, in order to supply battery temperature statusinformation to the fuel gauging algorithm and charger-control sections of the gauge. Alternatively, it canalso measure internal temperature via its on-chip temperature sensor, but only if the [TEMPS] bit of theOperation 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 bq27500 external temperature sensing is optimized with the use of a high accuracy negativetemperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor with R
25
= 10.0K ±1% and B25/85 = 3435K ±1% (such asSemitec NTC 103AT). The bq27500 can also be configured to use its internal temperature sensor. Whenan external themistor is used, a 18.2k pull up resistor between BT/TOUT and TS pins is also required.Additional circuit information for connecting this thermistor to the bq27500 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. When Temperature( )falls to OT Chg Recovery, the [OTC] of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Chg Time = 0, then the feature is completely disabled.

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. When Temperature( )falls to OT Dsg Recovery, the [OTD] bit of Flags( ) is reset.
If OT Dsg Time = 0, then feature is completely disabled.
For proper bq27500 operation, the cell charging voltage must be specified by the user. The default valuefor this variable is Charging Voltage = 4200 mV.
The bq27500 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 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 must be queried by the system in order to determine the batterytemperature. At that time, the bq27500 samples the temperature. This saves battery energy whenoperating from battery, as periodic temperature updates are avoided during charging mode.
The bq27500 has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK. InNORMAL mode, the bq27500 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 resides when no battery is inserted into the system.
The relationship between these modes is shown in Figure 5-1 .
This mode is a halted-CPU state that occurs when an adapter or other power source is present to powerthe bq27500 (and system), yet no battery has been detected. When battery insertion is detected, a seriesof initialization activities begins, which includes: OCV measurement, asserting the BAT_GD pin, andselecting the appropriate battery profiles. The initialization time is less than 2 seconds.
Some commands issued by a system processor can be processed while the bq27500 is halted in thismode. The gauge wakes up to process the command, then returns to the halted state awaiting batteryinsertion.

Compared to the SLEEP mode, SLEEP+ mode has the high frequency oscillator in operation. Thecommunication delay could be eliminated. The SLEEP+ is entered automatically if the feature is enabled(Operation Configuration [SNOOZE] = 1) and AverageCurrent( ) is below the programmable level SleepCurrent.
During SLEEP+ mode, the bq27500 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.

Once entry into SLEEP mode hasbeen qualified, but prior to entering it, the bq27500 performs a Coulomb Counter autocalibration tominimize offset.
During SLEEP mode, the bq27500 periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set.However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.

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 theSCL line low. This delay is necessary correctly process host communication, since the fuel gaugeprocessor is mostly halted while in SLEEP mode.
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.
The fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE due to either low cell voltage or low load current.HIBERNATE due to the cell voltage. When the cell voltage drops below the Hibernate Voltage and avalid OCV measurement has been taken, the fuel gauge enters HIBERNATE mode The [HIBERNATE]bit of the CONTROL register has no impact for the fuel gauge to enter the HIBERNATE mode.HIBERNATE due to the load current. If the load current drops to certain level, the fuel gauge shouldalso enter low power mode. When the fuel gauge enters the HIBERNATE mode due to the loadcurrent, the [HIBERNATE] bit of the CONTROL_STATUS register must be set. The gauge waits toenter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV measurement and the magnitude of theaverage cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The gauge remains in HIBERNATE modeuntil the system issues a direct I

C command to the gauge or a POR occurs. I

C communication that isnot directed to the gauge does not wake the gauge.During the HIBERNATE mode the BAT_GD is negated (no battery charging/discharging). Thisprevents a charger application from inadvertently charging the battery before an OCV reading can betaken. It is the system’s responsibility to wake the bq27500 after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode.After waking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profileselection, etc.)

When the bq27500 detects software reset ( [RESET] bit of Control( ) initiated), it increments thecorresponding counter. This information is accessible by issuing the command Control( ) function with theRESET_DATA subcommand.
The wake up comparator is used to indicate a change in cell current while the bq27500 is in either SLEEPor HIBERNATE mode. Operation Configuration uses bits [RSNS1–RSNS0] to set the sense resistorselection. Operation Configuration also uses the [IWAKE] bit to select one of two possible voltagethreshold 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.

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 V
CC
voltage does not fall below its minimum of 2.4 V during Flash write operations.
The bq27500 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 Coulomb Counter begins on entry to SLEEP mode, except if Temperature( ) is 5°Cor Temperature( ) 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.

When a battery pack is removed from host equipment that implements the bq27500, 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. However, only one of the default profilescan be selected, and this selection cannot be changed during end-equipment operation.
In addition to the default profiles, the bq27500 maintains two profiles PACK0 and PACK1. These tableshold dynamic battery data, and keep track of the status for up to two of the most recent batteries used. Inmost cases, the bq27500 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 measures its first open-circuit voltage (OCV) via the BAT pin. From the OCV(SOC) table, theSOC 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 .

Byte LU_ PROF
LU_PROF = Last profile used by fuel gauge. Pack0 last used when cleared. Pack1 last used when set. Default is 0.
The bq27500 supports only one type of battery profile. This profile is stored in both the Def0 and Def1profiles. The Defn and Packn profiles are the same on the first gauge start-up. Then the ImpedanceTrack™ algorithm begins fuel gauging, regularly updating Packn as the battery is used.
When an existing pack is removed from the bq27500 and a different (or same) pack is inserted, cellimpedance is measured after battery detection (see Section 6.1.2.1 ,First OCV and ImpedanceMeasurement). The bq27500 chooses the profile which is closest to the measured impedance, starting

If the measuredimpedance does not match the impedance stored in either Pack0 or Pack1, the battery pack is deemednew (none of the previously used packs). The Def0/Def1 profile is copied into either the Pack0 or Pack1profile, overwriting the oldest Packn profile used.
