Texas Instruments' bq27742-G1 is a fuel gauge for single-cell Li-ion battery packs that uses patented Impedance Track technology to deliver rate-, temperature-, and aging-compensated predictions of remaining battery capacity and system runtime with highest accuracy. The device also includes a fully integrated high-side protector that eliminates the need for a separate Li-ion protection circuit and provides a full suite of high-accuracy fault detections for overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent in charge, overcurrent in discharge, and short-circuit in discharge conditions. The hardware protection functions offer built-in data Flash-based programmability, allowing simple reconfiguration of existing devices for varying end-equipment needs.

Applications include Smartphones, tablets, handheld terminals, MP3 and multimedia players, and portable gaming.
