Product details
Overview
BQ27441DRZT-G1 from Texas Instruments is a system-side single-cell Li-ion battery fuel gauge IC using Impedance Track™ algorithm to report remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), voltage (mV), and state-of-health. It integrates a 1.8-V LDO, 16-bit coulomb counter ADC, and internal temperature sensor, operating directly from the battery pack in smartphones and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27441DRZT-G1 datasheet, BQ27441DRZT-G1 pinout, BQ27441DRZT-G1 application, or BQ27441DRZT-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its pre-calibrated 10-mΩ sense resistor support, I²C interface timing compliance (400 kHz Fast Mode), shutdown current of 0.6 µA, and firmware version G1B (CHEM_ID 0x0312 for 4.3–4.35 V LiCoO₂ chemistry).
Technical Context
The BQ27441DRZT-G1 implements Texas Instruments' patented Impedance Track™ algorithm to model battery impedance across temperature, aging, and load conditions-enabling accurate SoC estimation without host calibration. Its coulomb counter uses a 16-bit integrating ADC with ±25 mV differential input range on SRP/SRN pins, supporting Kelvin-sense connection to a 10-mΩ external shunt.
It operates in four power modes-NORMAL (93 µA), SLEEP (21 µA), HIBERNATE (9 µA), and SHUTDOWN (0.6 µA)-with automatic transitions triggered by activity or host command. Wake-up from SHUTDOWN is initiated via rising edge on GPOUT (1.2 V threshold), and the integrated 1.8-V LDO powers internal circuitry from BAT (2.45–4.5 V input range).

| VDD (5) | 1.8-V regulated output | Internal LDO output; powers gauge core; not intended to supply external circuitry; requires 0.47 µF decoupling to VSS |
| VSS (3) | Ground reference | Primary analog/digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection shared with sense resistor and decoupling capacitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fuel gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27441DRZR-G1B | Same die, VSON-12 package but with different tape-and-reel orientation (reel vs. tray); identical electrical specs and firmware (G1B, CHEM_ID 0x0312) | No functional difference; selected based on assembly line feed requirements (reel-fed SMT vs. manual/tray placement) | Choose DRZR-G1B for automated pick-and-place systems requiring 3,000-unit reels; DRZT-G1B is supplied in 250-unit trays. |
| BQ27510-G3 | Higher-precision 18-bit coulomb counter, extended temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), and additional safety features (cell overvoltage/undervoltage flags) | Targeted at industrial and automotive-qualified designs requiring extended reliability and diagnostic coverage beyond consumer-grade BQ27441DRZT-G1 | Select BQ27510-G3 only if design mandates AEC-Q200 qualification, wider temp range, or enhanced fault reporting - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with BQ27441DRZT-G1, the DRZR-G1B variant offers identical performance in a reel-packaged form factor for high-volume SMT lines, while the BQ27510-G3 adds industrial-grade diagnostics and precision at higher cost and complexity - making BQ27441DRZT-G1 optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained consumer portable devices.

FAQ
What battery chemistries does the BQ27441DRZT-G1 support?
The BQ27441DRZT-G1 supports LiCoO₂ chemistry with CHEM_ID 0x0312, optimized for 4.3–4.35 V maximum charge voltage. It is factory-configured for this profile and does not support LiFePO₄, NMC, or other chemistries without firmware reprogramming - which is not supported for the G1B variant. Always verify CHEM_ID via the Control() subcommand FW_VERSION and CHEM_ID before deployment.
How does the BQ27441DRZT-G1 achieve accurate state-of-charge estimation?
The BQ27441DRZT-G1 achieves accurate SoC estimation using Texas Instruments' Impedance Track™ algorithm, which continuously models battery impedance based on real-time voltage, current, temperature, and load history. It combines 16-bit coulomb counting with OCV-based correction and aging compensation - delivering <±5% SoC error across temperature, aging, and discharge rates without host calibration.
Can the BQ27441DRZT-G1 operate without an external sense resistor?
No. The BQ27441DRZT-G1 requires an external 10-mΩ, 1% precision sense resistor connected between PACK+ and VSYS for coulomb counting. Its SRP and SRN pins are differential analog inputs designed exclusively for Kelvin sensing across that resistor. Operation without the resistor disables current measurement and invalidates all capacity and SoC calculations - the device will not function as a fuel gauge.
What is the purpose of the BIN pin on the BQ27441DRZT-G1?
The BIN pin on the BQ27441DRZT-G1 provides battery insertion detection. When OpConfig [BI_PU_EN] = 1 (default), it senses a logic low as battery present - implemented via a 10-kΩ pulldown on the pack and 1.8-MΩ pullup on the system board. For embedded batteries, a fixed 10-kΩ pulldown to VSS is recommended. Leaving BIN unconnected or shorted risks incorrect battery detection and firmware misbehavior.
Does the BQ27441DRZT-G1 require calibration during system integration?
No. The BQ27441DRZT-G1 is factory-calibrated for a standard 10-mΩ, 1% external sense resistor and requires zero system-level calibration. Its Impedance Track™ algorithm auto-compensates for aging, temperature, and rate effects using built-in models. Host firmware only needs to issue standard I²C commands (e.g., StateOfCharge(), RemainingCapacity()) - no characterization or learning cycles are needed.
