DESCRIPTION

The bq20z80 SBS-compliant gas gauge IC,

incorporating patented Impedance Track™

technology, is designed for battery-pack or in-system

installation. The bq20z80 measures and maintains

an accurate record of available charge in Li-ion or

Li-polymer batteries using its integrated

high-performance analog peripherals. The bq20z80

monitors capacity change, battery impedance,

open-circuit voltage, and other critical parameters of

the battery pack, and reports the information to the

system host controller over a serial-communication bus. It is designed to work with the bq29312A analog

front-end (AFE) protection IC to maximize

functionality and safety, and minimize component

count and cost in smart battery circuits.

The Impedance Track technology continuously

analyzes the battery impedance, resulting in superior

gas-gauging accuracy. This enables remaining

capacity to be calculated with discharge rate,

temperature, and cell aging all accounted for during

each stage of every cycle.
