Product details
Overview
BQ27505YZGT-J3 from Texas Instruments is a system-side Impedance Track™ fuel gauge IC for single-cell Li-ion battery packs, providing real-time remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), time-to-empty (min), voltage (mV), temperature (°C), and state-of-health (%) with <1% SOC error across operating life. It resides on the host system main board, interfaces via 400-kHz I²C, and uses only PACK+, PACK–, and thermistor (T) connections - enabling integration in smartphones, PDAs, and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27505YZGT-J3 datasheet, BQ27505YZGT-J3 pinout, BQ27505YZGT-J3 application, or BQ27505YZGT-J3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-pin NanoFree™ CSP package, integrated coulomb counter with ±10 mV input offset, dual-oscillator architecture (2.097 MHz + 32.768 kHz), 4-μA hibernate current, and support for external NTC thermistor (10.0 kΩ, B25/85 = 3435 K) or internal temperature sensing.
Technical Context
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 implements Texas Instruments' patented Impedance Track™ algorithm to model battery discharge curves, dynamically adjusting for aging, self-discharge, and temperature/rate inefficiencies. It performs coulomb counting using a 14–15-bit integrating ADC with 1-s conversion time and supports configurable SOC interrupt thresholds and battery-good/battery-low push-pull outputs.
Its dual-oscillator design enables precise timing for fuel gauging: a high-frequency oscillator (2.097 MHz, ±4.5% over –40°C to 85°C) drives core computation, while a low-frequency oscillator (32.768 kHz, ±4% over same range) supports sleep-mode timing and temperature sampling. Power management includes five modes - NORMAL (114 μA), SLEEP+ (58 μA), SLEEP (19 μA), HIBERNATE (4 μA), and BAT INSERT CHECK - with automatic transitions triggered by load conditions or host commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Supply | 2.4 V to 2.6 V - tight regulation required for ADC accuracy and stable Impedance Track™ convergence |
| Coulomb Counter Input Range | ±0.125 V across sense resistor - supports 5–20 mΩ shunts for accurate current measurement up to ±5 A typical |
| I²C Interface | 400 kHz standard-mode - compatible with most microcontrollers without level-shifting; open-drain SDA/SCL require 10 kΩ pull-ups |
| Temperature Sensing | Internal sensor (–40°C to 85°C, –2 mV/°C gain) or external NTC (10.0 kΩ, B25/85 = 3435 K) via TS pin with 18.2 kΩ pull-up |
| Data Flash | 96 bytes non-volatile FLASH - stores battery profile, calibration data, and user blocks; 10-year retention, 20,000 write cycles |
| Power Modes | HIBERNATE draws 4 μA - extends system standby life; automatically entered after prolonged inactivity or commanded via CONTROL( ) subcommand |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C ambient - functional range extends to 100°C, supporting industrial and portable consumer environments |
Pinout & Package
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 is housed in a 12-ball NanoFree™ CSP (CSP-12) package measuring 2.43 mm × 1.96 mm with 0.5 mm pitch, optimized for ultra-compact portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SRP / SRN | Coulomb counter analog inputs | Differential sense inputs for current measurement; connect across 5–20 mΩ shunt between PACK– and system ground |
| BAT | Cell voltage ADC input | Measures battery voltage up to 5 V; requires decoupling and limits to ≤4.8 V for full-scale accuracy |
| TS | Thermistor voltage sense | Analog input for external NTC network; supports 103AT-type thermistors with 18.2 kΩ pull-up to BI/TOUT |
| BI/TOUT | Thermistor bias & multiplexer control | Provides bias current for thermistor network; also functions as battery-insertion detection input when configured |
| SOC_INT | State-of-charge interrupt output | Open-drain signal pulsed on SOC threshold crossing; requires external pull-up for host wake-up or alert handling |
| BAT_GD / BAT_LOW | Push-pull status indicators | Active-low battery-good and active-high battery-low outputs; polarity configurable via Operation Configuration register |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Standard 400-kHz I²C interface; SDA is open-drain, SCL is input-only; both require 10 kΩ pull-ups to VCC |
| VSS / VCC | Ground and power supply | VSS is system ground reference; VCC requires ≥0.1 μF ceramic decoupling close to pin for noise-sensitive ADC operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fuel gauge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27426YZFT | Same 12-ball NanoFree™ CSP package; newer firmware with enhanced Impedance Track™ v2.0 and improved low-temperature accuracy below 0°C | Requires updated host driver for extended command set; supports additional chemistries including LiFePO₄ | Preferred for new designs requiring broader temperature performance or multi-chemistry support |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ27505YZGT-J3?
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 is a system-side fuel gauge IC that provides accurate real-time battery metrics - including remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), time-to-empty (min), voltage (mV), temperature (°C), and state-of-health (%) - for single-cell Li-ion battery packs. It uses the Impedance Track™ algorithm and resides on the host main board, not inside the battery pack. The BQ27505YZGT-J3 requires only three external connections: PACK+, PACK–, and thermistor (T).
Does the BQ27505YZGT-J3 support external thermistors?
Yes, the BQ27505YZGT-J3 supports external NTC thermistors via the TS and BI/TOUT pins. It is optimized for 10.0 kΩ, B25/85 = 3435 K thermistors (e.g., Semitec 103AT), requiring an 18.2 kΩ pull-up resistor between BI/TOUT and TS. The BQ27505YZGT-J3 also includes an internal temperature sensor with –2 mV/°C gain, configurable via firmware to supplement or replace external sensing.
What power modes does the BQ27505YZGT-J3 support, and how low is its minimum current draw?
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 supports five power modes: NORMAL (114 μA), SLEEP+ (58 μA), SLEEP (19 μA), HIBERNATE (4 μA), and BAT INSERT CHECK. Its lowest operational current is 4 μA in HIBERNATE mode - achieved after prolonged inactivity or via host-commanded CONTROL( ) subcommand SET_HIBERNATE. This ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery energy during extended standby or storage.
Is the BQ27505YZGT-J3 pin-compatible with other TI fuel gauge ICs?
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 uses a 12-ball NanoFree™ CSP package (CSP-12) with a defined pinout per TI SLUS986A. While the BQ27426YZFT and BQ27510-G3YZFT share the same 12-ball footprint and mechanical dimensions, pin assignments differ - notably in SDA/SCL placement and thermistor interface routing. Therefore, the BQ27505YZGT-J3 is not pin-compatible with those variants; PCB redesign is required for substitution.
How does the BQ27505YZGT-J3 achieve <1% state-of-charge accuracy?
The BQ27505YZGT-J3 achieves <1% SOC accuracy through Texas Instruments' Impedance Track™ algorithm, which continuously models battery impedance using real-time voltage, current, temperature, and historical usage data. It compensates for aging, self-discharge, and temperature/rate inefficiencies - validated across charge cycles and operating conditions. The BQ27505YZGT-J3 combines this with a 14–15-bit integrating ADC, low-offset coulomb counter (±10 mV), and dual-oscillator timing stability to maintain precision throughout battery life.
