The bq2014 Gas Gauge IC is intended for battery-pack or in-system installation to maintain an accurate record of available battery charge.The IC monitors the voltage drop across a sense resistor connected in series between the negative battery terminal and ground to determine charge and discharge activity of the battery.
Self-discharge of NiMH and NiCd batteries is estimated based on an internal timer and temperature sensor. Compensations for battery temperature of bq2014 and rate of charge or discharge are applied to the charge, discharge, and self-discharge calculations to provide available charge information across a wide range of operating conditions. Battery capacity is automatically recalibrated, or"learned," in the course of a dischargecyclefromfulltoempty.
The bq2014 includes a charge control output that controls an external FastChargeICsuchasthebq2004.
Nominal Available Charge (NAC) may be directly indicated using a five-segmentLEDdisplay.
The bq2014 supports a simple singleline bidirectional serial link to an external processor (with a common ground). The bq2014 outputs battery information in response to external commandsovertheseriallink.
Internal registers include available charge, temperature, capacity, battery voltage, battery ID, battery status, and programming pin settings. To support subassembly testing, the outputs may also be controlled. The external processor may also overwrite some of the bq2014 gasgaugedataregisters.
The bq2014 may operate directly from three or four cells. With the REF output and an external transistor, a simple, inexpensive regulator can be built to provide VCC across a greaternumberofcells.
