Product details
Overview
BQ27531YZFR-G1 from Texas Instruments is a system-side battery management unit (BMU) for single-cell Li-Ion battery packs, integrating Impedance Track™ fuel gauging and autonomous charger control for bq2419x-series chargers. It delivers 1% SOC error accuracy, supports 5–20 mΩ sense resistors, operates with 23 μA sleep current, and communicates via 400-kHz I²C. It resides on the host main board to manage embedded or removable battery packs in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27531YZFR-G1 datasheet, BQ27531YZFR-G1 pinout, BQ27531YZFR-G1 application, or BQ27531YZFR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its autonomous charge profile adaptation using State of Health (SoH), integrated 2.5-V LDO regulator, 14-bit coulomb counter with ±10 µV offset, and DSBGA-15 package optimized for space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The BQ27531YZFR-G1 implements TI's patented Impedance Track algorithm to model battery discharge curves in real time, dynamically compensating for aging, self-discharge, temperature, and rate inefficiencies. Its dual-oscillator architecture (8.389 MHz HFO + 32.768 kHz LFO) enables precise coulomb counting and low-power periodic wakeups.
It functions as a host-free peripheral: it autonomously controls the bq2419x charger via dedicated BSDA/BSCL pins, executes multi-level charging (MLC) profiles based on SoH and temperature level charging (TLC), and provides real-time parameters-including RemainingCapacity (mAh), StateOfCharge (%), RunTimeToEmpty (min), Voltage (mV), Temperature (°C), and StateOfHealth (%)-via I²C slave interface.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery fuel gauging and charger control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27541-G1 | Same Impedance Track engine and DSBGA-15 package, but includes integrated SHA-1 authentication for secure battery authentication | Required where OEM mandates cryptographic verification of genuine battery packs to prevent counterfeit use | Select BQ27541-G1 only if secure authentication is mandated; otherwise BQ27531YZFR-G1 offers identical gauging performance at lower cost |
| BQ27742-G1 | Supports higher-resolution 16-bit coulomb counter and extended temperature range (–40°C to +105°C), but uses 12-pin DSBGA and lacks dedicated bq2419x control pins | Suitable for automotive cabin modules or industrial handhelds needing wider thermal qualification and no bq2419x integration | Choose BQ27742-G1 only when >85°C operation or enhanced ADC resolution is required; BQ27531YZFR-G1 remains optimal for consumer mobile with bq2419x synergy |
Compared with BQ27541-G1 and BQ27742-G1, the BQ27531YZFR-G1 uniquely balances high-accuracy Impedance Track gauging, autonomous bq2419x control, ultra-low SLEEP current (23 μA), and compact DSBGA-15 packaging-making it the most cost-effective and integration-optimized solution for mainstream smartphones, tablets, and portable consumer devices.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ27531YZFR-G1 in a battery management system?
The BQ27531YZFR-G1 serves as a system-side battery management unit that combines high-accuracy Impedance Track™ fuel gauging with autonomous control of the bq2419x charger IC. It measures cell voltage, temperature, and current via a 5–20 mΩ sense resistor, computes real-time parameters-including RemainingCapacity, StateOfCharge, and RunTimeToEmpty-and executes adaptive charge profiles without host CPU intervention. Its role is to replace software-intensive gauging stacks with a hardware-optimized, low-power peripheral.
How does the BQ27531YZFR-G1 achieve <1% State-of-Charge error?
The BQ27531YZFR-G1 achieves <1% State-of-Charge error by executing TI's proprietary Impedance Track™ algorithm, which continuously models battery impedance using real-time measurements of open-circuit voltage (OCV), loaded cell voltage, current, and temperature. It dynamically compensates for aging, self-discharge, and rate/temperature inefficiencies-updating Qmax and FullChargeCapacity() during normal usage-rather than relying on static lookup tables or voltage-based approximations.
What are the key differences between the BQ27531YZFR-G1 and BQ27541-G1?
The BQ27531YZFR-G1 and BQ27541-G1 share identical Impedance Track™ gauging performance, DSBGA-15 packaging, and bq2419x control capability-but the BQ27541-G1 adds integrated SHA-1 authentication for secure battery pack identification. This makes BQ27541-G1 mandatory for designs requiring cryptographic verification of genuine batteries, whereas BQ27531YZFR-G1 is optimized for cost-sensitive consumer applications where security is not required.
Can the BQ27531YZFR-G1 operate without an external thermistor?
Yes, the BQ27531YZFR-G1 can operate using its internal temperature sensor instead of an external thermistor. However, external sensing via the TS pin with a 10.0 kΩ ±1% NTC (e.g., Semitec 103AT) is recommended for highest fuel gauging accuracy-especially under dynamic load and wide temperature ranges-as the internal sensor exhibits ±3°C typical error versus ±0.5°C with calibrated external NTC networks.
What power modes does the BQ27531YZFR-G1 support, and how do they impact system battery life?
The BQ27531YZFR-G1 supports five power modes: NORMAL (118 μA), SLEEP+ (62 μA), SLEEP (23 μA), HIBERNATE (8 μA), and BAT INSERT CHECK. Automatic transitions-triggered by AverageCurrent(), temperature, or I/O events-minimize active time in NORMAL mode. In SLEEP mode, it updates data every 20 seconds while keeping HFO off, reducing average current by 80% versus continuous operation-directly extending standby runtime in smartphones and tablets.
