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.
