Product details
Overview
BQ27425YZFT-G1 from Texas Instruments is a system-side Impedance Track™ fuel gauge IC for single-cell LiCoO₂ battery packs, featuring integrated 10 mΩ sense resistor, I²C interface, on-chip LDO (2.5 V), and internal temperature sensor. It delivers real-time state-of-charge (%), remaining capacity (mAh), voltage (mV), and state-of-health (%) with <2% SOC error across aging, temperature, and load conditions - deployed in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27425YZFT-G1 datasheet, BQ27425YZFT-G1 pinout, BQ27425YZFT-G1 application, or BQ27425YZFT-G1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 15-pin CSP package (2.69 × 1.75 mm), ultra-low sleep current (23 µA), integrated coulomb counter with 14-bit ADC resolution, and support for battery insertion detection via BIN pin - all critical for space-constrained, battery-life-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The BQ27425YZFT-G1 implements Texas Instruments' patented Impedance Track™ algorithm to model battery discharge curves dynamically, compensating for aging, self-discharge, and temperature/rate inefficiencies without host MCU intervention. Its integrated 10 mΩ sense resistor enables direct SRX-to-VSS current sensing with ±10 µV input offset and 1 s conversion time.
It operates in four power modes - INITIALIZATION, NORMAL (118 µA), SLEEP (23 µA), and HIBERNATE (8 µA) - with automatic transitions triggered by load events or host commands. The 2.5 V LDO (2.4–2.6 V output, 325 mV dropout) powers the core and supports direct battery-pack operation, while the I²C interface (400 kHz, 600 ns setup/hold) enables bidirectional communication with system microcontrollers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fuel gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27441-G1 | Same Impedance Track™ engine but adds SHA-1 authentication, enhanced EEPROM security, and extended temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) | Required for secure battery authentication in OEM-certified replacement packs | Select BQ27441-G1 when cryptographic validation or extended thermal operation is mandatory |
| BQ27220 | Lower-cost variant with no integrated sense resistor; requires external 10–20 mΩ shunt and lacks internal LDO | Suitable for cost-optimized designs where PCB area and component count are less constrained | Choose BQ27220 only if external shunt placement and additional regulator are acceptable trade-offs |
Compared with BQ27441-G1, the BQ27425YZFT-G1 offers lower system cost and simpler layout but lacks security features; versus BQ27220, it reduces total solution size and power consumption by integrating both sense resistor and LDO - making it optimal for mainstream consumer portables.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ27425YZFT-G1 in a battery system?
The BQ27425YZFT-G1 serves as a system-side fuel gauge IC that accurately reports state-of-charge (%), remaining capacity (mAh), voltage (mV), and state-of-health (%) for single-cell LiCoO₂ batteries. It uses the Impedance Track™ algorithm with an integrated 10 mΩ sense resistor and internal temperature sensor - eliminating the need for external components while maintaining <2% SOC error across operating conditions. The BQ27425YZFT-G1 communicates via I²C and supports battery insertion detection through the BIN pin.
Does the BQ27425YZFT-G1 require an external sense resistor?
No, the BQ27425YZFT-G1 does not require an external sense resistor. It integrates a precision 10 mΩ sense resistor between the SRX and VSS pins, enabling direct current measurement without added PCB area, thermal drift, or layout sensitivity. This integration simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves long-term accuracy - confirmed in the datasheet's "Integrated Sense Resistor Characteristics" table (TYP = 10 mΩ, TA = 25°C).
What power modes does the BQ27425YZFT-G1 support, and how do they affect system battery life?
The BQ27425YZFT-G1 supports four power modes: NORMAL (118 µA), SLEEP (23 µA), HIBERNATE (8 µA), and INITIALIZATION. Automatic transitions occur based on load activity, but the host can force mode changes via Control() subcommands like SET_HIBERNATE. In HIBERNATE mode, current drops to 8 µA - extending shelf life and enabling multi-year operation in low-duty-cycle devices. All modes retain EEPROM-stored learning data, ensuring rapid resumption of accurate gauging upon wake-up.
Can the BQ27425YZFT-G1 operate without an external LDO regulator?
Yes, the BQ27425YZFT-G1 includes an integrated 2.5 V LDO powered from REGIN (2.7–4.5 V), allowing direct connection to the Li-ion battery pack. The LDO delivers up to 5 mA with 325 mV dropout and requires only a 0.1 µF input capacitor (REGIN–VSS) and 0.47–1 µF output capacitor (VCC–VSS). This eliminates the need for an external regulator - verified in the "2.5V LDO REGULATOR" section of the datasheet, where VREG25 = 2.4–2.6 V over temperature and load.
How does the BQ27425YZFT-G1 handle battery insertion and removal detection?
The BQ27425YZFT-G1 uses the BIN pin for battery insertion detection: a logic-high-to-low transition triggers the [BAT_DET] flag in the Flags() register. When OpConfig[BIE] = 1 (default), this detection is automatic; when disabled, the host must issue BAT_INSERT/BAT_REMOVE Control() subcommands. The internal pull-up option (enabled via [BI_PU_EN]) reduces system power consumption. This dual-mode capability supports both embedded and removable battery configurations - documented in the "PIN FUNCTIONS" and "Control(): 0x00/0x01" sections.
