3 Description

The Texas Instruments bq27621-G1 is a minimally

configured microcontroller peripheral that provides system-side fuel gauging for single-cell Li-Ion

batteries. The device requires very little user

configuration and system microcontroller firmware

development.

The bq27621-G1 uses the Dynamic Voltage

Correlation algorithm for fuel gauging. This process

eliminates the need for a sense resistor when

calculating remaining battery capacity (mAh), state- of-charge (%), battery voltage (mV), and temperature

(°C).

Battery fuel gauging with the bq27621-G1 requires

connections only to PACK+ (P+) and PACK– (P–) for

a removable battery pack or embedded battery

circuit. The tiny 9-pin, 1.62 mm × 1.58 mm, 0.5 mm

pitch YZF package is ideal for space-constrained applications.
