Impedance Track™ fuel gauge for single-cell Li-Ion packs
The Texas Instruments BQ27505YZGR-J5 is a single-cell Lithium Ion battery monitor from the Impedance Track™ series, communicating over an I²C interface. It is designed for portable devices that need accurate state-of-charge reporting without a host-side coulomb counter — the gauge learns the battery's discharge curve over cycles and compensates for aging. The 12-DSBGA package (0.50 mm pitch BGA) keeps the footprint small but demands controlled reflow assembly and X-ray inspection — not a rework-friendly part.
Single-cell fit — not for multi-cell stacks
This gauge is specified for exactly one series cell. It cannot be used directly with a 2-cell or higher-voltage pack; the internal voltage measurement range and algorithm are calibrated for a single-cell stack. For multi-cell applications, look at the BQ40Z50 or BQ34Z100 family.
