Design files

Overview

This reference design, using BQ27741 along with GaugeStudio software, provides the customer with tools for developing a battery fuel gauge module for placement inside a lithium-based battery pack. Customers are able to configure the solution so that it can provide accurate battery fuel gauging information. The integrated protection functionality can also be evaluated with this design. It gives the customer information such as battery voltage, temperature measurement, and Remaining State of Charge through its RAM registers. It also allows the customer to evaluate the BQ27741 IC according to the datasheet.

Features
  • # Series Cells: 1S
  • Max Input Volts: 4.5V
