Product details
Overview
BQ27741YZFR-G1 from Texas Instruments is a single-cell Li-ion battery fuel gauge IC with integrated hardware protection, featuring Impedance Track™ algorithm for <1% state-of-charge error, 16-bit high-side coulomb counter (5–20 mΩ sense resistor), 2.5-V LDO regulator (REG25), and dual I²C/HDQ communication interfaces. It operates in smartphones and handheld terminals where accurate runtime prediction and pack-level safety are critical.
For engineers reviewing the BQ27741YZFR-G1 datasheet, BQ27741YZFR-G1 pinout, BQ27741YZFR-G1 application, or BQ27741YZFR-G1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed protection thresholds (VOVP = 4.390 V, VOCD = 34.4 mV), real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative fuel gauges with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The BQ27741YZFR-G1 integrates a 16-bit delta-sigma integrating ADC for bidirectional current sensing across SRP/SRN, an internal 8.389-MHz HFO and 32.768-kHz LFO clock system, and a dedicated protector finite-state machine that independently enforces overvoltage (4.390 V), undervoltage (2.407 V), overcurrent in discharge (34.4 mV), and short-circuit (74.6 mV) thresholds with fixed delay timing (tOVP = 1 s, tOCD = 31.25 ms).
It embeds 64 bytes of non-volatile scratch-pad flash for calibration data and SHA-1/HMAC authentication, supports both I²C (400 kHz) and HDQ (190–250 µs cycle time) host interfaces, and uses a voltage doubler to drive external high-side N-channel FETs (CHG/DSG) up to 2×VPWR – 0.2 V while operating from a 2.8–5.0 V VPWR supply.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery fuel gauging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ27426YZFT-G1 | Same YZF package and Impedance Track™ engine, but lacks integrated protection circuitry (no CHG/DSG drivers or analog comparators). | Requires external protection IC or MCU-based software protection - increases BOM count and design complexity. | Select when protection is handled at system level and lowest possible gauge-only cost is required. |
| BQ28Z6100YFFR | Supports 2–4 series cells, adds gas gauge + protector + LDO in one IC, but uses 24-ball VQFN (4.0 × 4.0 mm) - 3.5× larger footprint than BQ27741YZFR-G1. | Targeted at multi-cell power tools or drones; not pin-compatible and requires different layout, sense resistor placement, and firmware. | Select only for multi-cell applications where space constraints allow larger package and higher integration justifies redesign effort. |
Compared with BQ27741YZFR-G1, BQ27426YZFT-G1 removes hardware protection to reduce cost and die size but shifts safety responsibility to the host, while BQ28Z6100YFFR expands cell support and integration at the expense of footprint and pinout compatibility - making BQ27741YZFR-G1 optimal for space-limited single-cell consumer devices needing self-contained safety.

FAQ
What communication interfaces does the BQ27741YZFR-G1 support?
The BQ27741YZFR-G1 supports both I²C (400 kHz, SDA/SCL pins) and HDQ (1-wire, HDQ pin) interfaces simultaneously. I²C is typically used during development and calibration via Battery Management Studio, while HDQ serves production runtime communication with minimal pin count. Both interfaces access the same register map and data flash, and either can be used to read SOC, voltage, temperature, or configure protection thresholds. The BQ27741YZFR-G1 ships preconfigured in I²C mode.
How does the BQ27741YZFR-G1 achieve <1% state-of-charge accuracy?
The BQ27741YZFR-G1 achieves <1% state-of-charge accuracy using TI's patented Impedance Track™ algorithm, which dynamically models battery impedance, capacity fade, self-discharge, and temperature/rate effects in real time. It combines 16-bit high-side coulomb counting (via SRP/SRN), precision 14–15-bit ADC measurements (BAT, TS, PACKP), and factory-calibrated data flash parameters to adapt the discharge curve continuously - eliminating reliance on static lookup tables or periodic full-charge resets.
What protection functions are implemented in hardware on the BQ27741YZFR-G1?
The BQ27741YZFR-G1 implements five autonomous hardware protection functions: overvoltage (VOVP = 4.390 V), undervoltage (VUVP = 2.407 V), overcurrent in discharge (VOCD = 34.4 mV), overcurrent in charge (VOCC = 20 mV), and short-circuit in discharge (VSCD = 74.6 mV). Each uses dedicated analog comparators with fixed delay timers (e.g., tOVP = 1 s, tOCD = 31.25 ms) and directly controls CHG/DSG FET drivers - all without MCU involvement or firmware execution.
Can the BQ27741YZFR-G1 operate without an external sense resistor?
No, the BQ27741YZFR-G1 requires an external high-side sense resistor (5–20 mΩ) connected between SRP and SRN to perform coulomb counting. The device's 16-bit integrating ADC measures the differential voltage across this resistor to calculate charge/discharge current. Removing the resistor disables fuel gauging and protection functions dependent on current sensing (OCD, OCC, SCD). The BQ27741YZFR-G1 does not support resistorless operation or internal current sensing.
What is the purpose of the REG25 pin on the BQ27741YZFR-G1?
The REG25 pin on the BQ27741YZFR-G1 is the output of an integrated 2.5-V LDO regulator, providing a stable 2.5 V ±0.2 V supply for the device's internal logic and optionally powering external components (e.g., thermistor bias network or level-shifters). It requires a 1-µF ceramic capacitor to VSS for stability and can deliver up to 16 mA. REG25 is not an input - VPWR (2.8–5.0 V) is the main power source, and REG25 derives from it.
