Product details
Overview
BQ27621YZFT-G1 from Texas Instruments is a system-side single-cell Li-ion fuel gauge IC that resides on the host PCB and reports remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), battery voltage (mV), and temperature (°C) using Dynamic Voltage Correlation-eliminating the need for a sense resistor. It supports 4.2 V, 4.3 V, and 4.35 V chemistries and integrates a 1.8-V LDO regulator powered directly from the battery pack.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27621YZFT-G1 datasheet, BQ27621YZFT-G1 pinout, BQ27621YZFT-G1 application, or BQ27621YZFT-G1 equivalent, key selection considerations include I²C interface compatibility (400 kHz), ultra-low shutdown current (0.6 µA), integrated temperature sensing, Kelvin-pack connection requirements, and preconfigured chemistry profiles with programmable CHEM_ID selection.
Technical Context
The BQ27621YZFT-G1 implements Texas Instruments' proprietary Dynamic Voltage Correlation algorithm to estimate remaining capacity and SOC by correlating real-time cell voltage, open-circuit voltage (OCV), and computed impedance-without current-sense resistors. It operates in five power modes (NORMAL, SLEEP, HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, INITIALIZATION) with automatic transitions triggered by load conditions or host commands.
Communication occurs via a fixed 7-bit I²C address (0x55), supporting standard read/write, incremental read/write, and quick read functions. The device uses an internal 15-bit ADC for voltage and temperature measurement, with typical voltage accuracy of ±0.1% and temperature accuracy within ±5°C across –40°C to +85°C.

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 YZF package; supports only 4.2-V chemistry; no 4.3/4.35-V profile support | Limited to standard LiCoO₂ cells; lacks alternate CHEM_ID flexibility | Select when design uses fixed 4.2-V batteries and requires lower firmware complexity |
| BQ27510-G3YZFT | Higher-accuracy Impedance Track™ algorithm; requires sense resistor; larger 12-pin YFP package | Supports multi-cell and higher-precision applications; adds current-sense path overhead | Choose when absolute mAh accuracy >±1% is required and PCB space allows for sense resistor layout |
Compared with BQ27621YZFT-G1, BQ27426YZFT offers reduced feature set but simpler integration for basic 4.2-V use cases, while BQ27510-G3YZFT trades resistorless operation for higher precision and broader chemistry support-requiring additional layout effort and BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ27621YZFT-G1 in a battery management system?
The BQ27621YZFT-G1 serves as a system-side fuel gauge IC that estimates remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), battery voltage (mV), and temperature (°C) for single-cell Li-ion batteries. It uses the Dynamic Voltage Correlation algorithm to eliminate the need for a sense resistor, relying instead on precise voltage and temperature measurements. The BQ27621YZFT-G1 communicates this data to the host processor via I²C, enabling accurate battery status reporting without adding current-sensing components to the PCB.
Does the BQ27621YZFT-G1 require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes-the BQ27621YZFT-G1 requires two mandatory external capacitors: a 1-µF ceramic capacitor between BAT and VSS for LDO input stability, and a 0.47-µF ceramic capacitor between VDD and VSS for LDO output filtering. Additionally, 10-kΩ pullup resistors are required on SCL, SDA, and GPOUT lines to VDD. A 1.8-MΩ pullup on BIN (for removable packs) and 10-kΩ pulldown (on pack side) complete the minimal external component set for functional deployment of the BQ27621YZFT-G1.
How does the BQ27621YZFT-G1 handle different battery chemistries?
The BQ27621YZFT-G1 supports three preconfigured LiCoO₂ chemistries via I²C-accessible CHEM_ID values: 0x1202 (4.2 V max charge), 0x1210 (4.3 V), and 0x354 (4.35 V). These profiles are selected using ALT_CHEM1 or ALT_CHEM2 subcommands under Control(). No user-provided characterization data or custom profile loading is supported-the BQ27621YZFT-G1 relies entirely on these factory-tuned algorithms. Chemistry selection must occur during initialization or configuration update mode, and the active CHEM_ID is reported via the CHEM_ID subcommand.
What power-saving modes does the BQ27621YZFT-G1 support, and how are they triggered?
The BQ27621YZFT-G1 supports five power modes: NORMAL (27 µA), SLEEP (21 µA), HIBERNATE (9 µA), SHUTDOWN (0.6 µA), and INITIALIZATION. Transitions occur automatically based on load activity and timer events, or can be forced via I²C Control() subcommands (e.g., SET_HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN). GPOUT toggling wakes the device from SHUTDOWN. The BQ27621YZFT-G1 enters SLEEP when I²C inactivity exceeds timeout, and HIBERNATE after extended low-load periods-enabling ultra-low quiescent current in always-on portable applications.
Can the BQ27621YZFT-G1 operate without an external temperature sensor?
Yes-the BQ27621YZFT-G1 includes an integrated on-die temperature sensor used by default for SOC correction and self-discharge compensation. However, it also accepts host-reported temperature via the Temperature() command, allowing systems with higher-accuracy external thermistors or thermal diodes to override the internal reading. The internal sensor operates across –40°C to +85°C with ±5°C accuracy, and its data is accessible via InternalTemperature() command. This dual-sensing capability makes the BQ27621YZFT-G1 flexible for both cost-sensitive and high-precision thermal designs.
