DESCRIPTION
The Texas Instruments bq28550 battery gas gauge provides current and voltage protection, and secure,
SHA-1/HMAC authentication for single-cell Li-Ion battery packs. Designed for battery-pack integration, the
bq28550 requires host microcontroller firmware support for implementation. A system processor communicates
with the bq28550 using one of the serial interface configurations to obtain remaining battery capacity, system
run-time predictions, and other critical battery information.
The bq28550 uses an accurate gas gauging algorithm to report the status of the cell. The gauge provides
information such as state-of-charge (%), run-time to empty (min.), charge-time to full (min.), battery voltage (V),
and pack temperature (°C).
The bq28550 also features integrated support for secure battery-pack authentication, using the SHA-1/HMAC
authentication algorithm.
