Product details
Overview
BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 from Texas Instruments is a SBS v1.1-compliant smart battery gas gauge IC for NiCd, NiMH, Li-ion, and lead-acid chemistries. It delivers 15-bit resolution voltage/temperature/current measurement, <16 µV V-to-F converter offset, LED-based capacity display (4–5 segments), and SMBus/HDQ16 dual-interface support - deployed in portable medical devices, industrial handhelds, and battery-pack monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 datasheet, BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 pinout, BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 application, or BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 28-pin SSOP package, integrated cell-voltage monitoring (VCELL1–VCELL4), discharge/charge FET control (DFC/CFC), thermistor-based temperature compensation, and EEPROM-configurable self-discharge learning algorithm.
Technical Context
The BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 implements a fully differential, dynamically balanced voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) for charge/discharge counting with auto-calibration down to 6.25 µVh and <16 µV offset correction. It pairs this with a sigma-delta ADC for simultaneous 15-bit measurements of individual cell voltages (up to 4 cells), pack temperature (via NTC thermistor on TS), and current (via SR1/SR2 sense resistor).
Its dual-protocol interface supports SMBus v1.1 (SMBC/SMBD) with PEC and Benchmarq HDQ16 (HDQ16), enabling communication with host systems and external EEPROM for configuration storage. Control outputs CVON and THON manage external FETs to connect voltage dividers and thermistor bias only during measurement cycles, reducing standby current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart battery gas gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2060A | Same die, different trim; supports identical registers, pinout, and EEPROM structure but lacks HDQ16 protocol support | Requires SMBus-only host architecture; not suitable for legacy HDQ-based systems or mixed-protocol designs | Select BQ2060A only if HDQ16 is unused and cost optimization is prioritized over interface flexibility |
| BQ2083 | Successor IC with enhanced accuracy (±0.5% SoC), integrated LDO, and extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C); uses same 28-pin SSOP footprint | Targets automotive and extended-industrial applications; requires updated EEPROM configuration and firmware register mapping | Choose BQ2083 for new designs needing higher reliability, wider temp range, or lower system BOM count - not drop-in compatible due to register differences |
Compared with BQ2060SS-E411TRG4, BQ2060A sacrifices HDQ16 interoperability for marginal cost reduction, while BQ2083 upgrades accuracy and thermal robustness at the expense of firmware migration effort - neither offers pin-to-pin or functional drop-in replacement without validation.

FAQ
What communication interfaces does the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 support?
The BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 supports both SMBus v1.1 (via SMBC/SMBD pins) and Benchmarq HDQ16 (via HDQ16 pin) protocols. SMBus enables standard SBS register access and PEC error checking, while HDQ16 provides single-wire compatibility with legacy systems. Both interfaces allow full read/write access to all gas gauge registers including RemainingCapacity(), Temperature(), and VCELL1–VCELL4 values - essential for host-level battery analytics in the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 implementation.
How does the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 handle self-discharge compensation?
The BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 applies temperature-dependent self-discharge compensation using an EEPROM-programmed base rate (e.g., Y% per day at 25°C). It adjusts RemainingCapacity() in fixed 0.39% decrements at intervals scaled by temperature (halving per 10°C below 25°C, doubling per 10°C above). The timer pauses during charging and resets upon reaching FullChargeCapacity(). This algorithm ensures predictable, granular capacity decay modeling - a core function of the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 in maintaining long-term SoC accuracy during storage.
Can the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 monitor individual cell voltages in a 4-cell Li-ion pack?
Yes, the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 directly monitors up to four series-connected cells via dedicated VCELL1–VCELL4 inputs. Each input accepts ≤1.25 V referenced to VSS and requires external precision resistive dividers (e.g., 16:1 for VCELL3/VCELL4, 8:1 for VCELL1/VCELL2 per TI Table 1). The CVON pin controls FETs to connect dividers only during measurement, minimizing quiescent current. Measured values are stored in optional Manufacturer Function registers and accessible via SMBus/HDQ16 - a defining capability of the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 for cell-balancing-aware battery management.
What is the role of the REG and VOUT pins on the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4?
The REG pin drives the gate of an external n-JFET to regulate VCC from the battery stack, maintaining a stable 3.1–3.6 V supply even as cell voltage declines. The VOUT pin supplies regulated 3.3 V to the external configuration EEPROM, delivering up to 5 mA to ensure reliable write operations. Together, these outputs decouple the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4's internal operation and EEPROM interface from raw battery fluctuations - critical for consistent measurement integrity and nonvolatile parameter retention in the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 design.
Does the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 support automatic capacity learning?
Yes, the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4 performs automatic FullChargeCapacity() (FCC) learning during qualified discharges - defined as a discharge from ≥FCC – Near Full × 2 down to the EDV2 voltage threshold, with no intervening charge activity, bounded self-discharge (<256 mAh), stable temperature ≥5°C, and no midrange corrections. Upon qualification, FCC updates to DCR value plus programmed low-battery percentage. This FCC learning is fundamental to the BQ2060SS-E411TRG4's ability to adapt to aging and usage patterns without manual recalibration.
