Product details
Overview
BQ26220PWRDL from Texas Instruments is a multifunction battery monitoring IC designed for integration into rechargeable Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It provides coulometric charge/discharge current integration (3.05 µVH LSB), 11-bit battery voltage measurement (2.44 mV LSB), and internal temperature sensing (±4 K accuracy) - all operating from a single-cell supply (2.8 V to 4.5 V) in portable electronics such as smartphones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ26220PWRDL datasheet, BQ26220PWRDL pinout, BQ26220PWRDL application, or BQ26220PWRDL equivalent, key selection considerations include its HDQ single-wire interface, 600 nA hibernate current, flash-backed RAM for state retention during deep discharge, differential current sense architecture, and host-dependent gas gauge algorithm implementation.
Technical Context
The BQ26220PWRDL implements a precision voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) with auto-compensated offset (±20 µV) for current sensing across SRP/SRN, paired with an 11-bit ADC for BAT voltage measurement featuring gain/offset correction via factory-stored ID ROM coefficients. Its internal temperature-compensated oscillator eliminates external crystal requirements.
Operation relies on host-controlled register access via HDQ serial protocol (5 kbit/s, return-to-one), with real-time counters (DCR/CCR/SCR) and time-based registers (DTC/CTC) maintained in 32-byte flash-shadowed RAM. Self-discharge estimation uses temperature-dependent SCR scaling (doubling per +10°C above 25°C).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ26100PWR | Lacks internal temperature sensor; requires external thermistor; no flash memory; only 16-byte RAM | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where self-discharge modeling is not required | Choose BQ26100PWR only if temperature compensation and nonvolatile state retention are unnecessary |
| BQ27220YZFT | Integrated fuel gauge algorithm; higher integration (no host register management); different package (DSBGA) | Targeted at systems needing autonomous gas gauge output (SOC%, mAh) rather than raw counter data | Select BQ27220YZFT when host MCU lacks firmware resources to implement coulomb counting and temperature compensation logic |
Compared with BQ26220PWRDL, BQ26100PWR reduces functionality to basic voltage/current monitoring without temperature or memory, while BQ27220YZFT shifts intelligence to the IC itself - making BQ26220PWRDL optimal for host-controlled, flash-configurable battery management in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ26220PWRDL in a battery pack?
The BQ26220PWRDL serves as a host-managed battery monitor IC that performs coulometric charge/discharge current integration, battery voltage measurement, and die temperature sensing. It delivers raw counter values (DCR, CCR, SCR) and calibrated ADC readings to the host controller, which implements the gas gauge algorithm. The BQ26220PWRDL itself does not compute state-of-charge but provides the foundational measurements required for accurate fuel gauging in single-cell Li-ion packs.
Does the BQ26220PWRDL require an external crystal oscillator?
No, the BQ26220PWRDL features a high-accuracy internal timebase that eliminates the need for an external crystal oscillator. Its temperature-compensated precision oscillator provides timing for the VFC, ADC, and internal counters, enabling full functionality with zero external timing components - a key advantage for space-constrained portable designs.
How does the BQ26220PWRDL handle battery voltage calibration?
The BQ26220PWRDL stores factory-trimmed gain and offset correction factors in its 8-byte ID ROM (address 0x79 for LSB gain, bits 3–7 of BATH for offset). The host controller applies these values to raw BATL/BATH register readings using the formula: Correct VBAT = VBAT × (2.44 + LSB correction factor) − offset. This enables system-level calibration without trimming resistors or host firmware calibration routines.
What is the role of the RBI pin on the BQ26220PWRDL?
The RBI (Register Backup Input) pin on the BQ26220PWRDL supplies backup current (≤25 nA) to maintain RAM and register contents when VCC drops below the power-on reset threshold (1.9–2.45 V). This enables hibernate mode operation with 600 nA total current draw, preserving battery state data during deep discharge or long-term storage - a critical capability for portable devices with intermittent usage patterns.
Can the BQ26220PWRDL be used with multi-cell battery configurations?
No, the BQ26220PWRDL is explicitly designed for single-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. Its BAT pin measures voltage referenced to VSS with a 0–5 V full-scale range optimized for 2.8–4.5 V operation, and its VFC input range (±100 mV) assumes a single sense resistor in the pack's main current path. Multi-cell configurations require series-connected monitors or dedicated multi-cell ICs like the BQ769x0 family.
