BQ34Z100-G1: VREGIN above 2,7V

Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1

Tool/software:

I would like to know what happens if my circuit provides less than 2.7 V to the REGIN pin of the BQ34z100-G1 IC. If this happens, should I redo the two charge and discharge cycles of the battery to ensure the SoC is accurate?

Considering that this voltage cannot be lower than 2.7V, can I add an external power source (such as a coin cell battery) to power the IC in case of low battery pack voltage?

  • Hello Lucas,

  • Hi Alan, 

    All right. I'll be waiting.

  • Hello Lucas,

    It appears that if your system provides less than 2.7V than either your running a really small battery pack which we might have to recommend a different battery gauge or you are going below your batteries termination voltage. Although adding a external power source would allow you to complete your cell learning cycle it would effect your battery gauge and make it act unexpectedly at the lower voltage ranges.

    Thank you,
