3 Description

The Texas Instruments BQ28Z610 device is a highly

integrated, accurate, 1-series to 2-series cell gas

gauge and protection solution, enabling autonomous

charger control and cell balancing.

The BQ28Z610 device enables autonomous charge

control through Master Mode I2C broadcasts of

charging current and voltage information, eliminating

software overhead that is typically incurred by the

system's host controller.

The BQ28Z610 device provides a fully integrated

pack-based solution with a flash programmable

custom reduced instruction-set CPU (RISC), safety

protection, and authentication for 1-series to 2-series

cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs.

The BQ28Z610 gas gauge communicates through

an I2C compatible interface and combines an

ultra-low-power, high-speed TI BQBMP processor,

high-accuracy analog measurement capabilities,

integrated flash memory, an array of peripheral

and communication ports, an N-CH FET drive, and

a SHA-1 Authentication transform responder into

a complete, high-performance battery management

solution.
