Product details
Overview
BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 from Texas Instruments is a flash-programmable, autonomous Impedance Track™ gas gauge and integrated protection IC for 1- to 2-series Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It delivers ±1 µV typical input offset error in its coulomb counter, supports 1-mΩ sense resistors with 1-mA current resolution, and provides high-side N-CH FET drive (CHG/DSG) enabling I²C communication during fault conditions - deployed in portable audio and tablet systems requiring precise state-of-charge estimation and pack-level safety.
For engineers reviewing the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 datasheet, BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 pinout, BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 application, or BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 equivalent, key selection criteria include autonomous Master Mode I²C charging control, dual independent ADC architecture for simultaneous voltage/current sampling, SHA-1 authentication for secure battery authentication, and programmable overcurrent/overtemperature protection thresholds with sub-millisecond fault detection timing.
Technical Context
The BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 integrates a custom RISC CPU, dual high-accuracy ADCs (16-bit coulomb counter + multiplexed cell voltage/temperature sensing), and dedicated hardware for cell balancing, overvoltage/undervoltage/overcurrent/short-circuit protection, and BTP (Battery Trip Point) signaling for Windows® integration. Its analog front-end includes two independent ADCs supporting simultaneous current and voltage sampling with <1 µV typical input offset error.
It implements autonomous charge control via Master Mode I²C broadcasts of charging voltage and current commands - eliminating host MCU software overhead. The device uses internal 1.8-V LDO regulation, dual oscillators (16.78 MHz HF + 262.144 kHz LF), and flash memory (instruction and data) for field-upgradable firmware and configuration storage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery gas gauge and protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ28Z610EVM-R1 | Evaluation module (not IC); includes PCB, firmware, GUI, and USB interface - not a drop-in replacement | Used for development and validation only; lacks production-grade packaging and qualification | Select only for design-in evaluation; requires separate BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 for volume deployment |
| BQ28Z620DRZR | Same DRZ package and pinout; adds enhanced security (AES-128), improved ADC linearity (±5.2 LSB INL), and extended temperature range (–40°C to +110°C) | Targeted at automotive and industrial applications requiring higher reliability and cryptographic strength | Choose BQ28Z620DRZR when AES encryption, wider temp range, or tighter ADC specs are mandatory |
Compared with BQ28Z610DRZR-R1, the BQ28Z620DRZR offers stronger security and broader operating margins but requires firmware revalidation; the BQ28Z610EVM-R1 serves only as a development tool and cannot replace the IC in production systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 in a battery pack?
The BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 serves as an integrated gas gauge and protection IC for 1- to 2-series Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It performs real-time impedance-based state-of-charge estimation, autonomous charge control via Master Mode I²C, cell balancing, and programmable overvoltage/overcurrent/overtemperature protection - all within a single 12-pin VSON package. Its coulomb counter achieves <1 µV typical input offset error, enabling precision current measurement with 1-mΩ sense resistors.
Does the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 support Windows® Battery Trip Point (BTP) functionality?
Yes, the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 supports Battery Trip Point (BTP) signaling through its TS1 pin, which can be configured as a digital output to trigger Windows® OS-level actions such as suspend or hibernation when battery voltage crosses defined thresholds. This feature is explicitly documented in the device's pin function table and application diagrams for portable computing use cases.
What is the maximum supported battery stack voltage for the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1?
The BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 supports up to 30 V total stack voltage on its VC2 pin, with absolute maximum ratings allowing VC2 to reach VSS + 30 V. This accommodates 2-series Li-ion configurations (up to ~8.4 V nominal, ~8.5 V per cell), and its VC1/VC2 inputs are designed for differential cell voltage sensing across both cells in a 2S topology.
How does the BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 achieve autonomous charging control?
The BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 implements autonomous charging control through its dedicated Master Mode I²C interface, which broadcasts real-time charging voltage and current commands directly to compatible charger ICs - eliminating the need for host MCU intervention. This mode reduces software overhead and enables deterministic charge sequencing even when the system host is powered down or unresponsive.
Is SHA-1 authentication mandatory for BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 operation?
No, SHA-1 authentication is optional and configurable via firmware. The BQ28Z610DRZR-R1 includes a hardware SHA-1 responder to verify battery authenticity and prevent unauthorized replacements, but the device operates fully functional in non-authenticated mode. Authentication must be enabled and provisioned during manufacturing; it does not affect basic gas gauging or protection functions.
