General Description
The bq2040 Gas Gauge IC With
SMBus Interface is intended for
battery-pack or in-system installa
-
tion to maintain an accurate record
of available battery charge. The
bq2040 directly supports capacity
monitoring for NiCd, NiMH, and Li-
Ion battery chemistries.
The bq2040 uses the System Man
-
agement Bus v1.0 (SMBus) protocol
and supports the Smart Battery
Data (SBData) commands. The
bq2040 also supports the SBData
charge control functions. Battery
state-of-charge, remaining capacity,
remaining time, and chemistry are
available over the serial link.
Battery-charge state can be directly
indicated using a four-segment LED
display to graphically depict battery
full-to-empty in 25% increments.
The bq2040 estimates battery self-
discharge based on an internal
timer and temperature sensor and
user-programmable rate informa
-
tion stored in external EEPROM.
The bq2040 also automatically re
-
calibrates or “learns” battery capac
-
ity in the full course of a discharge
cycle from full to empty.
The bq2040 may operate directly
from three nickel chemistry cells.
With the REF output and an exter
-
nal transistor, a simple, inexpensive
regulator can be built to provide
V
CC
for other battery cell configu
-
rations.
An external EEPROM is used to
program initial values into the
bq2040 and is necessary for proper
operation.
