General Description
The bq2060 SBS-Compliant Gas
Gauge IC for battery pack or in-
system installation maintains an ac-
curate record of available charge in
rechargeable batteries. The bq2060
monitors capacity and other critical
battery parameters for NiCd, NiMH,
Li-Ion, and lead-acid chemistries.
The bq2060 uses a V-to-F converter
with automatic offset error correction
for charge and discharge counting.
For voltage, temperature, and current
reporting, the bq2060 uses an A-to-D
converter.
The onboard ADC also
monitors individual cell voltages in a
Li-Ion battery pack and allows the
bq2060 to generate control signals
that may be used in conjunction with
a pack supervisor to enhance pack
safety.
The bq2060 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’s remaining capacity, temper-
ature, voltage, current, and remain-
ing run-time predictions. The bq2060

provides
push-button input to depict remaining
battery capacity from full to empty in
20% or 25% increments with a 4 or
5-segmentdisplay.

The bq2060 works with an external
EEPROM. The EEPROM stores the
configuration information for the
bq2060, such as the battery’s chemis-
try, self-discharge rate, rate compen-
sation factors, measurement calibra-
tion, and design voltage and capacity.
The bq2060 uses the programmable
self-discharge rate and other compen-
sation factors stored in the EEPROM
to accurately adjust remaining capac-
ity for use and standby conditions
based on time, rate, and temperature.
The bq2060 also automatically cali-
brates or learns the true battery ca-
pacity in the course of a discharge cy-
cle from a programmable level of full
toempty.
The REG output regulates the operat-
ing voltage for the bq2060 from the
battery cell stack using an external
JFET.
