Theory and Implementation of Impedance Track™ Battery Fuel-Gauging Algorithm in bq2750x Family

This application report outlines the theory of Impedance Track™(1) (IT) technology used in the bq2750x series of fuel gauge ICs for single-cell Li-ion application (e.g., smart phones, media players, and PDAs). The implementation of the IT algorithm in the bq2750x family is reviewed, and the setting of data flash constants associated with the fuel-gauging algorithm is described in detail.
