Product details
Overview
BQ27000DRKR from Texas Instruments is a standalone single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Pol battery gas gauge IC with HDQ one-wire interface, reporting time-to-empty, state-of-charge, voltage (±25 mV accuracy), temperature (±3 °K), and coulometric current (3.57 µVh resolution) for portable electronics. It operates directly from the battery (2.6–4.5 V), features auto-calibrating delta-sigma coulomb counter, and supports five low-power modes including ship mode (<2 µA).
For engineers reviewing the BQ27000DRKR datasheet, BQ27000DRKR pinout, BQ27000DRKR application, or BQ27000DRKR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options - all grounded in TI's SLUS556D production data sheet and official DRK package documentation.
Technical Context
The BQ27000DRKR implements a fully differential delta-sigma coulomb counter (DSCC) for charge/discharge integration across an external sense resistor, with automatic internal offset calibration and user-programmable external offset compensation via EEPROM. Its 3.57 µVh coulomb resolution enables precise capacity tracking without user calibration.
It integrates an on-die temperature sensor, ADC for voltage/temperature measurement, and a stable internal oscillator (±1.5% tolerance), supporting dynamic end-of-discharge detection with adaptive delay (3–21.5 s) and digital magnitude filtering to suppress noise-induced false accumulation below programmable thresholds.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-calibrating DSCC | Performs 5.12-second internal offset calibration without host intervention; CALIP flag indicates progress |
| Dynamic EDV detection delay | Adapts from 3 s (0% RSOC) to 21.5 s (≥6% RSOC) to prevent false end-of-discharge triggers under load transients |
| Digital Magnitude Filter (DMF) | Programmable threshold (4.9 µV steps) ignores sub-threshold coulomb accumulation, eliminating drift from residual offset |
| Five low-power operating modes | Includes Ship mode (<2 µA) and Data Retention mode (<20 nA) - extends shelf life and reduces system leakage |
| No user calibration required | Internal offset cancellation + optional external offset programming (via CEO command) eliminates factory calibration steps |
Applications
| PDA Battery Management | Smartphone Fuel Gauging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time battery level display and low-battery warning during intermittent touchscreen and wireless activity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone fuel gauge providing time-to-empty (TTE), state-of-charge (RSOC), and voltage at 2.56 s update intervals. Use Value: Eliminates host CPU polling overhead and enables accurate "minutes remaining" UI without software-based Coulomb integration. |
Use Scenario: Accurate runtime estimation during mixed-use profiles (voice call, GPS, video playback) with dynamic load switching. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: HDQ-connected gas gauge delivering compensated available capacity (CACD), max load current (MLI), and standby TTE (STTE). Use Value: Enables adaptive power management by reporting actual discharge rate impact on remaining runtime, not just voltage-based estimates. |

Use Scenario: Predicting playback duration under varying audio codecs and backlight brightness levels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Coulomb counter with temperature-compensated NAC updates and self-discharge modeling. Use Value: Maintains runtime accuracy across ambient temperature shifts (0°C–50°C) and long idle periods between playback sessions. |
Use Scenario: Estimating remaining shot count and flash readiness during burst capture and LCD review. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reports average power (AP), at-rate time-to-empty (ARTTE), and available energy (SAE) via RAM registers. Use Value: Allows firmware to throttle image processing or disable preview based on real-time energy budget, not fixed battery percentage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery fuel gauging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27200DRKR | I²C interface instead of HDQ; identical DRK package, same core algorithm and EEPROM structure | Requires two I²C pins (SCL/SDA) and pull-ups; incompatible with HDQ-only host firmware | Select when host MCU lacks HDQ support but provides I²C and requires identical gas gauge functionality |
| BQ27425YZFT | Smaller 4-ball DSBGA package; integrated sense resistor option; enhanced aging model and higher-resolution coulomb counter (0.125 µVh) | Not pin-compatible; requires layout redesign; supports newer TI bqStudio configuration tools | Choose for space-constrained designs needing extended lifecycle tracking and modern toolchain integration |
Compared with BQ27000DRKR, BQ27200DRKR offers identical accuracy and feature set but mandates I²C infrastructure, while BQ27425YZFT delivers improved resolution and aging compensation in a smaller footprint - neither is pin-compatible, and both require firmware and layout updates.

FAQ
What communication interface does the BQ27000DRKR use?
The BQ27000DRKR uses the HDQ one-wire serial interface, which requires only a single bidirectional pin (HDQ) and a pull-up resistor for host communication. This differs from the I²C-based BQ27200DRKR and eliminates clock/data line routing complexity. The BQ27000DRKR does not support I²C, and its timing parameters (e.g., t(HW0), t(DW1)) are defined exclusively for HDQ protocol compliance per SLUS556D.
Does the BQ27000DRKR require external calibration during production?
No, the BQ27000DRKR performs automatic internal offset calibration and requires no user calibration. Its delta-sigma coulomb counter includes auto-compensation for temperature, aging, and discharge rate. External PCB-induced offset can be measured using the CEO command and stored in EEPROM, but this is optional and performed only once during final test - the BQ27000DRKR ships fully functional without any calibration step.
What is the purpose of the PGM pin on the BQ27000DRKR?
The PGM pin on the BQ27000DRKR accepts 20–22 V programming voltage for writing to its internal EEPROM - used exclusively during manufacturing for configuring parameters like TCOMP, DMFSD, or EDV thresholds. It is not used during normal operation, must be left unconnected or protected from ESD in end equipment, and carries no functional role in runtime gas gauging or communication.
How does the BQ27000DRKR handle battery self-discharge compensation?
The BQ27000DRKR applies self-discharge compensation using an internal timer and temperature-dependent algorithm, reducing nominal available capacity (NAC) by 0.195% per 64 self-discharge estimate cycles. This value is derived from the battery's temperature and stored aging constants (TCOMP, DCOMP), and is applied automatically during sleep or ship mode - no host intervention is needed to maintain accuracy over storage periods.
Is the BQ27000DRKR suitable for new designs?
No - Texas Instruments explicitly marks the BQ27000DRKR as "Not Recommended For New Designs" in the SLUS556D datasheet. While fully functional and supported for legacy repair and continuity, new designs should consider newer alternatives such as the BQ27425 or BQ27510 families, which offer enhanced accuracy, smaller packages, and active TI design support and toolchain integration.
