Product details
Overview
BQ28Z610DRZT-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 measurement 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 BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 datasheet, BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 pinout, BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 application, or BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed protection thresholds, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SLUSE07B production datasheet (Rev. B, Jan 2022).
Technical Context
The BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 integrates a custom RISC CPU, dual independent ADCs (16-bit coulomb counter + voltage measurement), SHA-1 authentication responder, and programmable protection logic - all operating autonomously without host MCU intervention. Its MASTER mode I²C interface broadcasts charging voltage/current commands directly to external chargers, eliminating software overhead in system-side power management.
It implements cell balancing via internal bypass FETs (200 Ω typical RCB) and supports simultaneous current/voltage sampling using dedicated SRP/SRN and VC1/VC2 inputs. The analog front-end includes two precision voltage references (1.220 V ±50 ppm/°C), low-drift internal temperature sensing (–2.0 mV/°C), and configurable wake comparator thresholds (±0.3 to ±7.2 mV) for ultra-low-power current monitoring.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Gas Gauge Accuracy | Impedance Track™ algorithm with ±1 µV typical coulomb counter input offset error - enables <1% SOC error over full life cycle under dynamic load. |
| Sense Resistor Support | Operates down to 1-mΩ shunt with 1-mA current resolution - allows high-accuracy, low-loss current sensing in compact battery packs. |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400-kHz Fast-mode compatible - ensures rapid parameter read/write during runtime calibration and firmware updates. |
| Protection Threshold Programmability | Voltage, current (OCD/SCC/SCD1/SCD2), and temperature limits fully configurable via flash memory - enables custom safety profiles per pack design. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 26 V supply (VC2/PBI) - supports 1S to 2S Li-ion stacks including headroom for charger transients. |
| Supply Current (Normal Mode) | 250 µA typical - minimizes quiescent drain during active gauging, extending standby time in always-on devices. |
| Cell Balancing Resistance | 200 Ω typical internal FET RDS(on) - delivers controlled 50–100 mA balancing current without external components. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-pin VSON (DRZ), 4 mm × 2.5 mm body size, thermally enhanced exposed pad (PWPD) electrically tied to VSS.

| TS1 | Temperature sensor input / BTP output | Accepts NTC thermistor or diode; also drives Battery Trip Point signal for Windows® OS integration. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C serial interface | 400-kHz bidirectional bus; require external pull-ups; enable host communication even during CHG/DSG fault states. |
| DSG / CHG | N-CH FET gate drivers | High-side drive outputs controlling discharge and charge FETs; deliver >8.75 V gate swing up to 18 V stack voltage. |
| PACK | Pack voltage sense | Measures total battery voltage; internal 40 kΩ pulldown enables reliable startup detection after deep discharge. |
| VC1 / VC2 | Cell voltage inputs / balance current paths | VC1 = least-positive cell; VC2 = most-positive cell; both serve as balance current return paths during balancing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery gauge and protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ28Z6100DRZT | Same die, no -R1 suffix; lacks factory-programmed security keys and pre-configured Impedance Track™ coefficients - requires full customer calibration. | Suitable for non-security-sensitive industrial tools where firmware customization is preferred over out-of-box accuracy. | Select BQ28Z6100DRZT only if full control over gas gauge algorithm initialization and security key provisioning is required. |
| BQ28Z6200DRZT | Enhanced version with extended temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), higher VCC max (30 V), and improved ADC linearity (±1 LSB INL vs. ±5.2 LSB). | Required for automotive cabin modules or outdoor power tools operating beyond 85°C ambient. | Choose BQ28Z6200DRZT when operating above 85°C or needing tighter ADC performance; not drop-in compatible due to revised POR thresholds. |
Compared with BQ28Z610DRZT-R1, the BQ28Z6100DRZT offers identical functionality but requires full customer calibration and lacks factory security keys, while the BQ28Z6200DRZT extends thermal and voltage ratings at the cost of altered power-on reset behavior - making both alternatives application-specific rather than direct replacements.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 in a battery pack?
The BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 serves as an autonomous gas gauge and protection IC for 1- to 2-series Li-ion packs. It precisely estimates state-of-charge using Impedance Track™ algorithms, measures current via a 1-mΩ sense resistor with ±1 µV offset error, and independently controls CHG/DSG FETs to enforce voltage, current, and temperature protections - all without host MCU intervention. This makes the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 ideal for portable electronics demanding high accuracy and safety compliance.
Does the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 support Windows® Battery Trip Point (BTP) functionality?
Yes, the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 supports Battery Trip Point (BTP) through its TS1 pin, which can be configured as a digital output to signal critical battery conditions (e.g., overtemperature or low-voltage shutdown) directly to Windows® OS. This enables seamless integration with Microsoft's ACPI-compliant battery management stack, allowing the OS to initiate graceful shutdown or alert users before catastrophic failure - a feature confirmed in TI's SLUSE07B datasheet section 6 and 9.2.
What is the significance of the "-R1" suffix in BQ28Z610DRZT-R1?
The "-R1" suffix denotes a factory-programmed variant of the BQ28Z610 with pre-loaded Impedance Track™ coefficients, calibrated voltage references, and embedded SHA-1 security keys - enabling out-of-box accuracy and authentication capability. Unlike the base BQ28Z6100DRZT, the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 requires no initial learning cycle or key provisioning, reducing time-to-market for consumer electronics. This distinction is explicitly defined in TI's orderable addendum and production datasheet revision history.
Can the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 perform cell balancing on both cells in a 2-series configuration?
Yes, the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 supports active cell balancing for 2-series configurations using its VC1 and VC2 pins. VC1 connects to the least-positive cell terminal and VC2 to the most-positive; internal 200 Ω balancing FETs route current from higher-voltage cells to lower-voltage ones. Balancing current is limited to ~50–100 mA depending on cell voltage and thermal conditions - sufficient for maintaining ≤10 mV inter-cell variance during long-term storage or slow charging, as verified in datasheet sections 7.14 and 8.3.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the CHG and DSG pins of the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1?
The CHG and DSG pins of the BQ28Z610DRZT-R1 have an absolute maximum output voltage rating of –0.3 V to 32 V relative to VSS, as specified in Section 7.1 of the SLUSE07B datasheet. This allows safe operation across 1S–2S Li-ion stacks (up to 8.4 V nominal) with margin for transient spikes. Additionally, their off-state leakage is limited to ±0.4 V, ensuring minimal impact on FET gate integrity during fault conditions - a key enabler for continued I²C communication during protection events.
