Single-cell fuel gauge with Impedance Track™
The Texas Instruments BQ27425YZFR-G2A is a single-cell Lithium Ion battery monitor that uses the Impedance Track™ algorithm to report state-of-charge with better accuracy than a simple voltage-based coulomb counter. It communicates over an I²C interface, making it a straightforward addition to a portable or battery-backed design.
Package and rework — 15-DSBGA
The 15-DSBGA package (15-UFBGA, DSBGA) is a fine-pitch BGA with no exposed leads — rework requires a hot-air station and a stencil for solder paste. The 0.5 mm ball pitch means the board needs a via-in-pad or microvia fan-out; a two-layer board can work if the inner balls are not routed.
