Product details
Overview
BQ2092SN-A309 from Texas Instruments is a gas gauge IC designed for battery-pack integration in NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion systems. It delivers accurate remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), and runtime-to-empty (minutes) via SMBus-like two-wire interface, with 120µA typical operating current and integrated temperature compensation. Used in portable medical devices, power tools, and smart battery packs requiring precise fuel gauging without external thermistors or resonators.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2092SN-A309 datasheet, BQ2092SN-A309 pinout, BQ2092SN-A309 application, or BQ2092SN-A309 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin narrow SOIC package, EEPROM-programmable self-discharge rate (0–25%/day at 25°C), dual EDV thresholds (EDV1/EDVF), SBData charge control support, and LED segment outputs (SEG1–SEG4) for direct 25%-increment battery display.
Technical Context
The BQ2092SN-A309 implements coulomb counting with voltage- and temperature-compensated integration of sense-resistor voltage (VSR) across SR–VSS pins. Its internal 0.1°K-resolution temperature sensor and programmable digital filter (DMF = 0x96 default, ±0.30 mV threshold) eliminate noise-induced false charge/discharge counts.
It supports Smart Battery Data (SBData) command set over open-drain SCC/SCD lines, including ChargingCurrent(), ChargingVoltage(), and BatteryStatus() register reads. Charge control logic enforces safety termination at +256 mAh above FullChargeCapacity (FCC), with ∆T/∆t monitoring configurable for NiMH (e.g., 2°C/120s) and thermal hold-off timer activation above 25°C.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What battery chemistries does the BQ2092SN-A309 support?
The BQ2092SN-A309 supports NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion rechargeable battery chemistries. It implements chemistry-specific charge control logic-including ∆T/∆t for nickel-based cells and voltage-based termination for Li-Ion-and stores chemistry identification in EEPROM at DeviceChemistry register (0x22). The BQ2092SN-A309 does not support LiFePO₄ or lead-acid chemistries.
Does the BQ2092SN-A309 require an external EEPROM, and why?
Yes, the BQ2092SN-A309 requires an external EEPROM for proper operation. It stores critical configuration data-including DesignCapacity, EDV1/EDVF thresholds, charging parameters, temperature offsets, and manufacturer information-in external nonvolatile memory. The BQ2092SN-A309 reads this data at power-up via SCL/SDA pins; absence of EEPROM prevents initialization and renders the device nonfunctional.
How does the BQ2092SN-A309 handle self-discharge compensation?
The BQ2092SN-A309 estimates self-discharge based on internal timer and temperature sensor readings, applying a user-programmable rate (0–25%/day at 25°C) stored in EEPROM. The rate doubles per +10°C rise or halves per –10°C drop. This value continuously decrements RemainingCapacity (RM) and increments Discharge Count Register (DCR), ensuring accurate long-term capacity tracking without host polling.
Can the BQ2092SN-A309 operate without a microcontroller host?
Yes, the BQ2092SN-A309 can operate autonomously for basic fuel gauging and LED display. Its internal logic handles coulomb counting, temperature compensation, FCC learning, and SEG1–SEG4 modulation. However, initial EEPROM programming, register configuration (e.g., FLAGS2 for charge control), and alarm threshold setup require a host system during manufacturing or calibration.
What is the function of the DISP pin on the BQ2092SN-A309?
The DISP pin on the BQ2092SN-A309 controls LED display activation: tied high (VCC) disables SEG1–SEG4 outputs; left floating enables automatic activation during charge >100 mA; pulled low triggers a 4-second display pulse. This allows flexible UI implementation-e.g., momentary status check via pushbutton or continuous display during charging-without consuming host GPIO resources.
