3 Description

The BQ41Z50 device, incorporating Dynamic ZTrack

™ technology, is a fully integrated, singlechip,

pack-based solution that provides a rich

array of features for gas gauging, protection, and

authentication for 2-series, 3-series, and 4-series cell

Li-ion, LiPO, and LiFePO4 battery packs.

Using its integrated high-performance analog

peripherals and ultra-low power 32-bit RISC

processor, the BQ41Z50 device measures and

maintains an accurate record of available cell

capacity, voltage, current, temperature, and other

critical battery parameters and reports them to

the system host controller over an SMBus v3.2

compatible interface.
