overview
the bq27z746-device-fw is a firmware (fw)-only release that can be flashed onto any existing hardware such as bq27z746 product. the firmware incorporates the patented impedance track™ technology to create a pack-based solution that provides a rich array of features for gas gauging, protection, differential battery sensing analog output, and authentication for 1-series cell li-ion and li-polymer battery packs.
using its integrated high-performance analog peripherals, the bq27z746-device-fw firmware enables the device and measures and maintains an accurate record of available capacity, voltage, current, temperature, and other critical parameters in li-ion or li-polymer batteries, and reports this information to the system host controller. the integrated protection provide safety protection against over voltage (ovp), under voltage (uvp), over current in charge/discharge (occ/ocd), short circuit discharge (scd), and battery sensing protections (bcp, bcn, bdp and bdn).
sha-2 authentication, with secure memory for authentication keys, enables identification of genuine battery packs.
bq27z746-device-fw is usable on any previous version of the bq27z746 hardware.
