3 Description

The bq27546-G1 Li-Ion battery fuel gauge is a

microcontroller peripheral that provides fuel gauging

for single-cell Li-Ion battery packs. The device

requires minimal system microcontroller firmware

development for accurate battery fuel gauging. The

bq27546-G1 resides within the battery pack or on the

system’s main-board with an embedded battery (nonremovable).

The bq27546-G1 uses the patented Impedance

Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides

information such as remaining battery capacity

(mAh), state-of-charge (%), run-time to empty (min.),

battery voltage (mV), and temperature (°C). It also

provides detections for internal short or tab

disconnection events.

The bq27546-G1 features integrated support for

secure battery pack authentication, using the SHA-

1/HMAC authentication algorithm.

The device comes in a 15-ball Nano-Free™ DSBGA

package (2.61 mm × 1.96 mm) that is ideal for spaceconstrained

applications.
