System-side Impedance Track™ fuel (gas) gauge reference design

TIDA-00051

Design files

Overview

This reference design includes one bq27425-G2B circuit module with an integrated current-sense resistor. A separated orderable, EV2300 or EV2400 PC interface board for gas gauge interface along with a PC USB cable, and Windows™-based PC software, is needed when using this design. The circuit module includes one bq27425-G2B integrated circuit and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity for a system-side fuel gauge solution. The reference design connects directly across the battery pack.

Features
  • Number of series cells: 1S
  • Maximum input volts: 4.5 V
  • Maximum charge current: 2 A
  • Communication: I2C
  • Integrated sense resistor
  • This reference design requires the use of a communications tranciever; EV2400
