General Description

The bq2012 Gas Gauge IC is intended for battery-pack or in-system installation to maintain an accurate record of available battery charge.

The IC monitors a 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.

Key Features

  • Conservative and repeatable measurement of available charge in rechargeable batteries.
  • Charge control output.
  • Designed for battery pack integration - 120µA typical standby current (self-discharge estimation mode) - Small size enables imple- mentations in as little as 1 2 square inch of PCB.
  • Integrate within a system or as a stand-alone device - Display capacity via single- wire serial communication port or direct drive of LEDs.
  • Measure.
