BQ2012 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments BQ2012 is a gas gauge IC intended for battery-pack or in-system integration to maintain an accurate record of available battery charge. It is designed for rechargeable batteries such as NiCd and NiMH.

 

Key features include a conservative and repeatable measurement of available charge, charge control output, and a typical standby current of 120µA in self-discharge estimation mode. The IC supports 2 to 4 series cells and offers a battery capacity range from 500mAh to 6000mAh. Measurements are compensated for current and temperature, with self-discharge compensation utilizing an internal temperature sensor.

 

The BQ2012 integrates within a system or can be used as a stand-alone device. It can display capacity via a single-wire serial communication port or direct drive of LEDs. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 70°C.

 

This IC is housed in a 16-pin narrow SOIC package, enabling implementations in compact designs. It is suitable for applications requiring accurate battery charge monitoring and management.
