9 Applications and Implementation

Note

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,

and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for

determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design

implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The BQ28Z610-R1 gas gauge is a primary protection device that can be used with a 1- to 2-series Li-ion/

Li-polymer battery pack. To implement and design a comprehensive set of parameters for a specific battery

pack, the user needs Battery Management Studio (BQSTUDIO), which is a graphical user-interface tool installed

on a PC during development. The firmware installed in the product has default values, which are summarized in

the BQ28Z610-R1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUC81) for this product. Using the BQSTUDIO tool, these

default values can be changed to cater to specific application requirements during development once the system

parameters, such as fault trigger thresholds for protection, enable/disable of certain features for operation,

configuration of cells, chemistry that best matches the cell used, and more are known. This data can be referred

to as the "golden image."

9.2 Typical Applications

Figure 9-1 shows the BQ28Z610-R1 application schematic for the 2-series configuration. Figure 9-2 shows a

wireless (Bluetooth) speaker application block diagram.
