bq28z610/bq28z610-q1 Battery Fuel Gauges

Texas Instruments bq28z610/bq28z610-q1 Battery Fuel Gauges are highly integrated, accurate, 1 to 2 series cell gas gauge and protection solution. It helps to enable autonomous charger control and cell balancing. Autonomous charge control is enabled through Master Mode I²C broadcasts of charging current and voltage information. This eliminates software overhead that is typically incurred by the system's host controller. The bq28z610/bq28z610-q1 includes 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. The bq28z610/bq28z610-q1gas gauge communicates via an I²C compatible interface. It combines an ultra-low-power, high-speed TI bqBMP processor, high-accuracy analog measurement capabilities, and integrated flash memory. It also includes an array of peripheral and communication ports, an N-CH FET drive, and an SHA-1 Authentication transform responder. The bq28z610-q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
