The Texas Instruments BQ27Z855 Dynamic Z-Trackgas gauge solution is a fully integrated, accurate 1-series cell gas gauge, protection, current limiter, and authentication solution. The BQ27Z855 device provides a fully integrated pack-based solution with a flash programmable reduced instruction-set CPU (RISC), safety protection, current limiter, ideal diode controller, and authentication for 1-series cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery packs. The BQ27Z855 gas gauge communicates through an I2C compatible interface and combines an ultra-low power RISC processor, high accuracy analog measurement capabilities, integrated flash memory, high-side NMOS FET drivers, and ECC ECDSA and SHA-2 authentication to provide a complete, high-performance battery management solution.
