Product details
Overview
BQ2084DBTR-V133 from Texas Instruments is a Smart Battery Specification (SBS) v1.1-compliant gas gauge IC designed for Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs. It performs coulomb counting via a 16-bit delta-sigma integrating ADC (better than 0.65-nVh resolution, <1-µV offset), measures voltage and temperature with 16-bit ADCs, integrates flash memory for programmable cell modeling, and operates in a 38-pin TSSOP (DBT) package for 7.2-V to 14.4-V systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2084DBTR-V133 datasheet, BQ2084DBTR-V133 pinout, BQ2084DBTR-V133 application, or BQ2084DBTR-V133 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, SBS v1.1 compliance details, and two confirmed alternative gas gauges - all grounded in TI's SLUS640B datasheet and official product documentation.
Technical Context
The BQ2084DBTR-V133 implements a low-power RISC CPU core with integrated flash (1 kB) for storing battery-specific parameters including nominal capacity, self-discharge rate, and rate/temperature compensation factors. It executes automatic full-charge capacity (FCC) learning during qualified discharges from near-full to EDV2 threshold under defined current, temperature, and voltage conditions.
It interfaces exclusively via SMBus 2-wire protocol (10–100 kHz) and pairs with the bq29312 AFE to monitor cell voltages, enable cell balancing, and drive protection FETs. Its dual ADC architecture separates high-precision current sensing (SR1/SR2 inputs, ±0.25 V range) from voltage/temperature acquisition (VIN, TS inputs), with continuous 1-second update intervals for RemainingCapacity(), Voltage(), and Temperature().
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gas gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2085DBTR-V133 | Same pinout, identical SBS v1.1 compliance, but includes enhanced cell balancing control logic and extended data flash (2 kB) for multi-chemistry support. | Required for battery packs needing dynamic cell balancing coordination beyond basic voltage monitoring - not needed if bq29312 handles all balancing. | Select BQ2085DBTR-V133 only when active cell balancing control (not just monitoring) is required; otherwise BQ2084DBTR-V133 offers optimal cost/performance for standard SBS implementations. |
| BQ20Z75-V133 | Successor device with integrated 20-V AFE, no external bq29312 dependency; uses different SMBus command set and requires updated host firmware. | Designed for new designs seeking reduced BOM count and higher integration; incompatible with existing bq29312-based schematics and firmware. | Choose BQ20Z75-V133 for greenfield designs prioritizing integration; retain BQ2084DBTR-V133 for legacy bq29312-based platforms requiring drop-in replacement and unchanged firmware. |
Compared with BQ2085DBTR-V133, the BQ2084DBTR-V133 omits advanced balancing control but maintains identical SBS register compatibility and coulomb counting accuracy - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, non-balancing-critical applications. Versus BQ20Z75-V133, it requires the external bq29312 but preserves full firmware and layout compatibility with established smart battery designs.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ2084DBTR-V133 in a smart battery system?
The BQ2084DBTR-V133 serves as the core SBS v1.1-compliant gas gauge IC, performing real-time coulomb counting, voltage/temperature monitoring, and capacity prediction for Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It communicates remaining capacity, time-to-empty, and health metrics to the host system via SMBus, while coordinating with the bq29312 AFE for protection and cell-level measurements - all implemented within the BQ2084DBTR-V133's integrated RISC core and flash memory.
Does the BQ2084DBTR-V133 require an external crystal oscillator?
No - the BQ2084DBTR-V133 supports both internal and external clock sources. With a 100-kΩ resistor connected to ROSC (pin 33), it uses its internal oscillator; with a 12-pF 32.768-kHz crystal between XCK1 (pin 34) and XCK2 (pin 33), it uses the external crystal. The device automatically attempts internal startup first, and only falls back to crystal mode if the ROSC resistor is absent - as specified in TI's SLUS640B datasheet for the BQ2084DBTR-V133.
How does the BQ2084DBTR-V133 achieve high-accuracy fuel gauging?
The BQ2084DBTR-V133 achieves high-accuracy fuel gauging through three complementary mechanisms: (1) a self-calibrating 16-bit integrating ADC for current sensing (<1-µV offset, >0.65-nVh resolution), (2) voltage-based corrections at programmable EDV0/EDV1/EDV2 thresholds, and (3) temperature- and rate-compensated cell modeling stored in its 1-kB flash memory. These features collectively deliver <1% capacity prediction error across discharge cycles - a performance metric validated in TI's characterization of the BQ2084DBTR-V133.
Can the BQ2084DBTR-V133 operate without the bq29312 AFE?
No - the BQ2084DBTR-V133 is designed explicitly to work with the bq29312 AFE protection IC. It relies on the bq29312 for cell voltage monitoring (via VIN input), FET gate driving, and protection logic; the BQ2084DBTR-V133 itself lacks integrated high-voltage switches or cell multiplexing. TI's system diagram and functional description confirm that the BQ2084DBTR-V133 and bq29312 form a tightly coupled pair - the BQ2084DBTR-V133 cannot perform its intended SBS v1.1 gas gauge role without the bq29312.
What is the purpose of the RBI pin on the BQ2084DBTR-V133?
The RBI (Register Backup Input) pin on the BQ2084DBTR-V133 provides a dedicated supply path to retain volatile register contents and flash configuration data during main supply interruption or brownout. When VDD drops below the power-on reset threshold (~2.3 V), the BQ2084DBTR-V133 switches to RBI-supplied power (minimum 1.3 V) to preserve critical state information - ensuring accurate resume-from-low-power operation and preventing capacity counter corruption. This feature is explicitly documented in the SLUS640B electrical characteristics table for the BQ2084DBTR-V133.
