U-514 Using the bq2010 - A Tutorial for Gas Gauging

The bq2010 Gas-Gauge IC is a complete battery-monitoring product for NiMH and NiCd batteries. This tutorial introduces the bq2010. The tutorial should be used with the bq2010 data sheet when designing with or evaluating the bq2010. It describes capacity monitoring, compares Unitrode's gas-gauge solutions to microprocessor-based implementations, describes device operation in general terms, and addresses implementation issues.
