PRODUCTION DATA
Use the BQ27Z561-R1 gas gauge with a 1-series Li-ion or Li-polymer battery pack. To implement and design a comprehensive set of parameters for a specific battery pack, use the Battery Management Studio (BQSTUDIO), a PC-installed graphical user-interface tool during development. The firmware installed in the product has default values, which are summarized in the BQ27Z561-R1 Technical Reference Manual. Using the BQSTUDIO tool, change the default values to cater to specific application requirements during development once the system parameters, such as enable or disable of certain features for operation, cell configuration, chemistry that best matches the cell used, and more are known. The final flash image is extracted once configuration and testing are complete. The final flash image is used in mass production and is referred to as the golden image.
