Product details
Overview
BQ2092SN-A311TR from Texas Instruments is a gas gauge IC for NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion battery packs, delivering accurate remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), and runtime-to-empty (minutes) via SMBus-like two-wire interface. It integrates an internal temperature sensor, programmable self-discharge compensation, and four-segment LED display control. Designed for embedded battery-pack integration, it operates from 3.0–5.5 V with 120 µA typical quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2092SN-A311TR datasheet, BQ2092SN-A311TR pinout, BQ2092SN-A311TR application, or BQ2092SN-A311TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its support for SBData charge control commands, EEPROM-programmable EDV thresholds and self-discharge rate, internal temperature-compensated current integration, and direct LED segment drive capability without external drivers.
Technical Context
The BQ2092SN-A311TR implements coulomb counting using voltage measurement across an external sense resistor (SR–VSS), with integrated offset correction (±50 µV typ) and digital magnitude filtering (configurable VSRD threshold down to ±0.23 mV). Its internal temperature sensor (0.1°K resolution) enables real-time compensation of charge/discharge efficiency and self-discharge estimation-doubling per +10°C above 20°C up to 70°C.
It supports Smart Battery Data (SBData) command set over open-drain SCC/SCD pins, including RemainingCapacity (0x0F), FullChargeCapacity (0x10), BatteryStatus (0x16), and ChargingVoltage (0x15). Charge control is implemented via broadcast to Smart Charger address, with termination logic based on ΔT/Δt (programmable 20–320 s), max temperature (configurable), and 256 mAh over-FCC safety cutoff.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2084DBTR | Same 16-pin SOIC package; lacks LED segment outputs (SEG1–SEG4); no DISP pin; requires external driver for display | Requires additional components for visual battery indication; better suited for host-controlled UI via SMBus only | Select when LED display is unnecessary and board space is constrained by external driver elimination |
| BQ20Z75-V165 | Enhanced firmware, integrated 10-bit ADC, higher accuracy (±1% INL), supports Li-Ion only (no NiCd/NiMH), 20-pin TSSOP | Not drop-in compatible; requires PCB redesign; targets premium Li-Ion applications with tighter SoC tolerance | Select when higher accuracy and Li-Ion-only support justify layout change and cost increase |
Compared with BQ2084DBTR, the BQ2092SN-A311TR provides integrated LED drive and DISP control for standalone visual feedback, while BQ20Z75-V165 offers superior accuracy and modern firmware but sacrifices multi-chemistry support and pin compatibility-making BQ2092SN-A311TR optimal for cost-sensitive, display-enabled NiCd/NiMH/Li-Ion pack designs.

FAQ
What battery chemistries does the BQ2092SN-A311TR support?
The BQ2092SN-A311TR supports NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion rechargeable battery chemistries. It implements chemistry-specific charge control algorithms-including ΔT/Δt termination for NiMH and voltage-based cutoff for Li-Ion-and allows EEPROM programming of parameters like fast charge efficiency (QEFC) and maintenance charge efficiency (QETC). The BQ2092SN-A311TR does not support lead-acid or LiFePO4 chemistries.
Does the BQ2092SN-A311TR require an external EEPROM?
Yes, the BQ2092SN-A311TR requires an external EEPROM (e.g., 24C02) for proper operation. Critical configuration data-including DesignCapacity, EDV1, self-discharge rate, and charge voltage-is stored in the EEPROM and loaded at power-up. The BQ2092SN-A311TR provides VOUT to power the EEPROM and uses SCL/SDA pins for programming the memory during initial setup.
How does the BQ2092SN-A311TR handle temperature compensation?
The BQ2092SN-A311TR uses an internal temperature sensor (0.1°K resolution) to compensate charge/discharge integration, self-discharge estimation, and remaining capacity display. It applies a linear adjustment (TCC = 0.004/°C) below 5°C and scales self-discharge rate exponentially (doubling per +10°C). Temperature data is accessible via register 0x08 and used automatically in RM register updates-no external thermistor or calibration is needed.
Can the BQ2092SN-A311TR operate directly from a 3-cell NiMH pack?
Yes, the BQ2092SN-A311TR can operate directly from a 3-cell NiMH pack (nominal 3.6 V, max ~4.5 V). Its VCC range is 3.0–5.5 V, and the REF output enables building a simple FET-based microregulator to maintain stable VCC during voltage sag. An optional Zener diode (e.g., BZX84C5V6) is recommended on VCC to clamp transients during charging.
What is the function of the DISP pin on the BQ2092SN-A311TR?
The DISP pin on the BQ2092SN-A311TR controls LED display activation: high disables all SEG outputs; floating enables automatic activation during ≥100 mA charge; low forces SEG1–SEG4 active for ~4 seconds. This allows flexible user interface implementation-e.g., momentary press for battery check or auto-display during charging-without requiring host MCU intervention. The BQ2092SN-A311TR interprets DISP state independently of SMBus commands.
