Product details
Overview
BQ2023PW from Texas Instruments is a multifunction battery monitoring IC designed for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It performs high-accuracy coulomb counting via differential current sensing (±100 mV input range), resolves charge/discharge energy down to 3.05 µV·h, and integrates internal temperature sensing (0.25°K resolution) - enabling precise state-of-charge estimation in portable electronics such as smartphones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2023PW datasheet, BQ2023PW pinout, BQ2023PW application, or BQ2023PW equivalent, key selection considerations include its SDQ single-wire interface compatibility with Dallas 1-Wire™, automatic VFC offset calibration, 224-byte flash + 32-byte RAM memory architecture, sleep mode current of 1.5 µA, and TSSOP-8 package suitability for space-constrained battery-pack integration.
Technical Context
The BQ2023PW implements a voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) architecture to digitize differential sense voltage (SRP–SRN) into charge/discharge counts at 3.05 µV·h/LSB resolution. Its internal timebase eliminates external crystal requirements, and continuous auto-calibration compensates VFC offset drift hourly.
Communication occurs over a bidirectional SDQ pin using Dallas 1-Wire™–compatible protocol with CRC-8 error checking. The device supports register access, flash programming, and secure ID ROM readout via hierarchical ROM and memory function commands - all operating under 2.4 V minimum supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.4 V to 5.0 V - enables operation directly from single-cell Li-ion battery without LDO, supporting deep-discharge recovery |
| Current Sense Input Range | ±100 mV differential - accommodates low-value sense resistors (e.g., 0.02 Ω) while maintaining 3.05 µV·h resolution |
| VFC Resolution | 3.05 µV·h per LSB - translates to ±0.062% full-scale accuracy for 100 mV input over 1 hour |
| Operating Temperature | –20°C to +70°C - qualified for consumer portable equipment ambient conditions |
| Supply Current (Active) | 32–40 µA at 4.2 V - minimizes parasitic drain during host polling intervals |
| Sleep Current | 1.0–1.5 µA - extends battery shelf life when pack is disconnected or idle |
| Internal Temp Sensor | 0.25°K resolution, ±4°K accuracy - replaces external thermistor, reducing BOM count and layout area |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TSSOP (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PDET | Pack removal detection input | Low-level assertion forces immediate sleep mode and disables STAT output - prevents false status reporting after pack disconnect |
| RBI | Register backup I/O | Provides VCC backup path to retain RAM/register contents during brownout (<2.0 V POR threshold) |
| SDQ | Single-wire serial data I/O | Dallas 1-Wire™–compatible bidirectional interface with built-in CRC-8 generation - supports multi-device bus sharing |
| SRN | Current sense negative input | Connects to battery-pack ground side of sense resistor - completes differential measurement path with SRP |
| SRP | Current sense positive input | Connects to battery negative terminal side of sense resistor - polarity determines charge (SRP > SRN) vs discharge (SRP < SRN) |
| STAT | Open-drain status output | Drives external LED or host interrupt; disabled during sleep - provides real-time system-ready indication |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.4–5.0 V; powers internal VFC, logic, and temperature sensor - no external regulator required |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for VFC, SDQ pullup, and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to pack ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential current sensing | Rejects common-mode noise up to 100 mV, enabling accurate measurement in noisy battery-pack environments |
| Auto-offset calibration | Performs hourly VFC offset compensation - maintains <±15.8 µV offset error across temperature and supply variations |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Eliminates need for external thermistor and associated routing - reduces component count and PCB area by ~3 mm² |
| SDQ 1-Wire™ interface | Enables daisy-chaining multiple BQ2023PW units on one microcontroller GPIO - simplifies multi-cell or multi-battery system design |
| Nonvolatile memory | 224 bytes flash + 8-byte secure ID ROM - stores calibrated gas-gauge parameters and unique pack identification without external EEPROM |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ2023PW in a battery pack?
The BQ2023PW serves as a standalone coulomb-counting fuel gauge IC that measures battery charge/discharge current via differential sense inputs (SRP/SRN), integrates accumulated charge using an internal voltage-to-frequency converter, and reports state-of-charge to a host controller via the SDQ single-wire interface. Its integrated temperature sensor and flash memory eliminate external components required for accurate, long-term battery monitoring in the BQ2023PW.
Does the BQ2023PW require an external crystal oscillator?
No, the BQ2023PW features a high-accuracy internal timebase that eliminates the need for an external crystal oscillator. This reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB layout complexity while maintaining timing stability sufficient for coulomb counting and sleep-mode wake-up scheduling in the BQ2023PW.
How does the BQ2023PW handle battery pack removal detection?
The BQ2023PW uses the PDET pin to detect pack removal: when PDET is driven low, the device immediately enters sleep mode and disables the open-drain STAT output. This prevents erroneous status signaling and preserves battery charge during disconnection - a critical behavior confirmed in the BQ2023PW functional description and absolute maximum ratings table.
What memory resources are available on the BQ2023PW?
The BQ2023PW integrates 224 bytes of flash memory (organized in seven 32-byte pages), 32 bytes of general-purpose RAM, and 8 bytes of secure ID ROM. Flash retains gas-gauge calibration data and pack identification across deep discharge; RAM holds volatile counters; ID ROM stores factory-programmed serialization - all accessible via the SDQ interface in the BQ2023PW.
Can the BQ2023PW operate below 2.4 V?
No, the BQ2023PW has a minimum operating supply voltage of 2.4 V. Below this threshold, the device enters power-on reset (POR) state and ceases functional operation until VCC rises above 2.34 V (typical POR threshold). However, the RBI pin allows RAM retention during brief brownouts below 2.4 V - a capability explicitly defined in the BQ2023PW recommended operating conditions.
