Battery Fuel Gauge

This reference design is a typical application for the bq28z610 Battery Fuel Gauge device. It is a 1 to 2 series Li-Ion/Li Polymer battery pack and protection solution, enabling independent charger control and cell balancing. The device provides a fully integrated pack-based solution with a flash programmable custom Reduced Instruction-Set CPU (RISC), safety protection, and authentication for 1- to 2-series cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer battery packs. It also measures cell voltage and current simultaneously, and also measures temperature to calculate the information related to remaining capacity, full charge capacity, state-of-health, and other gauging parameters. Read more
