General Description
The bq2060A SBS-Compliant Gas
Gauge IC for battery pack or
in-system installation maintains an
accurate record of available charge in
rechargeable batteries. The bq2060A
monitors capacity and other critical
battery parameters for NiCd, NiMH,
Li-Ion, and lead-acid chemistries.
The bq2060A uses a V-to-F converter
with automatic offset error correction
for charge and discharge counting.
For voltage, temperature, and current
reporting, the bq2060A uses an
A-to-D converter. The onboard ADC
also monitors individual cell voltages
in a Li-Ion battery pack and allows
the bq2060A to generate control sig-
nals that may be used in conjunction
with a pack supervisor to enhance
pack safety.
The bq2060A supports the smart bat-
tery data (SBData) commands and
charge-control functions. It communi-
cates data using the system manage-
ment bus (SMBus) 2-wire protocol or
the Benchmarq 1-wire HDQ16 proto-
col. The data available include the
battery鈥檚 remaining capacity, temper-
ature, voltage, current, and remain-
ing run-time predictions. The
bq2060A provides LED drivers and a
push-button input to depict remaining
battery capacity from full to empty in
20% or 25% increments with a 4 or
5-segment display.
The bq2060A works with an external
EEPROM. The EEPROM stores the
configuration information for the
bq2060A, such as the battery鈥檚 chem-
istry, self-discharge rate, rate com-
pensation factors, measurement cali-
bration, and design voltage and ca-
pacity. The bq2060A uses the pro-
grammable self-discharge rate and
other compensation factors stored in
the EEPROM to accurately adjust re-
maining capacity for use and standby
conditions based on time, rate, and
temperature. The bq2060A also auto-
matically calibrates or learns the true
battery capacity in the course of a dis-
charge cycle from near-full to
near-empty levels.
The REG output regulates the operat-
ing voltage for the bq2060A from the
battery cell stack using an external
JFET.
