7.5.1 Layout Guidelines

A battery fuel gauge circuit board is a challenging environment due to the fundamental incompatibility of high-current traces and ultra-low current semiconductor devices. The best way to protect against unwanted trace-to-trace coupling is with a component placement, where the high-current section is on the opposite side of the board from the electronic devices. Component placement is shown in Figure 7-3. This component placement is not possible in many situations due to mechanical constraints. Make every attempt to route high-current traces away from signal traces which enter the BQ40Z80 directly. IC references and registers can be disturbed and in rare cases damaged due to magnetic and capacitive coupling from the high-current path.

Note:

During surge current and ESD events, the high-current traces appear inductive and can couple unwanted noise into sensitive nodes of the gas gauge electronics, as shown in Figure 7-4.

Kelvin voltage sensing is important to accurately measure current and top and bottom cell voltages. Place all filter components as close as possible to the device. Route the traces from the sense resistor in parallel to the filter circuit. Adding a ground plane around the filter network can add additional noise immunity. Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 demonstrate correct kelvin current sensing.
