BQ27421-G1 개요

The Texas Instruments BQ27421-G1 is a system-side Impedance Track fuel gauge with integrated 7 mΩ current-sense resistor for single-cell Li-Ion battery packs, housed in a 9-ball DSBGA (YZF) package. It reports remaining capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), battery voltage, current, temperature, and runtime via an I2C interface, requiring minimal host microcontroller firmware development.

Key specifications include a 4.2 V maximum charge voltage (chemistry profile A), integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor between the BAT and SRX pins, I2C communication up to 400 kHz, and ultra-low quiescent current suitable for always-on battery monitoring. The device operates directly from the cell it monitors, eliminating the need for an external regulator rail. Its Impedance Track algorithm models cell impedance to deliver accurate state-of-charge estimation across varying load, temperature, and aging conditions without requiring board-level calibration.

The BQ27421-G1 belongs to the fuel gauge / battery monitor IC category within the power management IC hierarchy. As a system-side gauge (mounted on the host board rather than inside the battery pack), it is designed for applications where the battery pack is not a smart pack but accurate fuel gauging is still required. Its integrated sense resistor eliminates the precision external shunt that traditional coulomb-counting solutions require, reducing BOM cost and PCB area while improving current-sensing accuracy at low loads.

Typical applications include smartphones, wearables, portable medical devices, Bluetooth headsets, and single-cell Li-Ion powered IoT endpoints where reporting remaining runtime to the user matters. The wide chemistry support — pre-programmed profiles such as 4.2 V, 4.3 V, and 4.35 V, indicated by the suffix letter (A, B, etc.) — lets designers match the gauge to the cell's full-charge voltage without firmware rework.

When designing with this part, route the BAT and SRX traces as a Kelvin connection directly to the integrated sense-resistor balls to avoid parasitic IR drop, and keep the DSBGA balls clear of flux contamination during reflow. Always select the chemistry variant (e.g. BQ27421YZFR-G1A for 4.2 V, -G1B for 4.3 V, -G1C for 4.35 V) that matches the cell's maximum charge voltage to avoid over-reporting SOC.

This page consolidates verified distributor pricing, drop-in chemistry-variant alternatives in the same DSBGA footprint, and practical PCB-layout notes that go beyond what the manufacturer datasheet alone covers.

일반적인 애플리케이션

BQ27421-G1 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Wearable Fitness Bands, Bluetooth Headsets / Hearables, Portable Medical Devices, Single-Cell Li-Ion IoT Endpoints, Smartphone Accessories, E-Cigarettes / Personal Vaporizers.

📱

Wearable Fitness Bands

The BQ27421-G1 is well suited to wearable fitness bands where every square millimeter of PCB matters and accurate remaining-runtime reporting shapes the user experience. Its 9-ball DSBGA package (1.6 mm x 1.6 mm) and integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor eliminate an external shunt that would otherwise steal board area. The Impedance Track algorithm reports SOC percentage accurately across the wide load swings typical of heart-rate, BLE radio, and haptic-motor bursts in a wrist-worn device, even as the Li-Polymer cell ages over hundreds of cycles. Designers pair it with a small Li-Polymer cell and route BAT/SRX as a Kelvin pair to the gauge balls.

🎧

Bluetooth Headsets / Hearables

True wireless earbuds and Bluetooth headsets depend on accurate battery telemetry for case/battery status displays, and the BQ27421-G1 delivers this in a footprint that fits inside the earpiece stem. Its integrated 7 mΩ shunt is rated for the typical 50-150 mA charging and 5-20 mA playback currents of a TWS earbud without saturating, and the system-side gauge architecture means the cell does not need to be a smart-pack with embedded electronics — important when partnering with multiple cell vendors. The 4.2 V chemistry variant (-G1A) matches standard Li-Polymer pouches used in TWS applications.

💊

Portable Medical Devices

Handheld patient monitors, glucose meters, and disposable drug-delivery patches need certified battery telemetry to comply with IEC 60601-1 runtime reporting rules. The BQ27421-G1's Impedance Track algorithm provides stable SOC estimation across temperature swings encountered when a patient carries the device from indoors to outdoors, and its industrial -40C to +85C operating range covers typical clinical environments. The device's small DSBGA footprint fits inside the constrained enclosures of single-use autoinjectors and continuous-glucose-monitor patches where every cubic millimeter counts.

🧩

Single-Cell Li-Ion IoT Endpoints

Battery-powered IoT sensor nodes (smart locks, asset trackers, environmental sensors) benefit from the BQ27421-G1's ultra-low quiescent current and accurate runtime prediction, which lets the host MCU sleep aggressively between BLE transmissions. The integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor supports load profiles typical of BLE SoCs (peak ~15 mA, average ~1 mA) without dynamic-range loss, and the gauge's I2C interface operates directly from the cell it monitors — no separate regulator rail needed. Designers typically pair it with a coin-cell or small Li-Polymer cell and a BQ-series charger.

📱

Smartphone Accessories

Selfie sticks, stylus pens, game controllers, and other smartphone accessories that contain a single Li-Ion cell often need accurate battery-level reporting to the phone over BLE or USB HID. The BQ27421-G1's standard I2C interface (address 0x55) is widely supported by BLE SoCs and accessory MCUs, and its small DSBGA footprint fits inside stylus-style enclosures. The pre-programmed chemistry profiles let designers support different cell vendors by selecting -G1A or -G1B without changing host firmware.

⚡

E-Cigarettes / Personal Vaporizers

Compact vaping devices need accurate battery-state reporting to drive LED fuel gauges and prevent low-voltage cutoff damage to Li-Ion cells. The BQ27421-G1's integrated sense resistor is well matched to the pulsed ~5-15 A discharge profile of a vape mod, although designers must carefully thermal-couple the BAT/SRX traces and respect the gauge's maximum sense voltage. The DSBGA package fits inside tube-form-factor enclosures where traditional eSOIC gauges would be too bulky, and the wide chemistry-profile range (4.2 V to 4.35 V) supports both standard and high-voltage cell variants.

What is the BQ27421-G1 and what does it do?
The BQ27421-G1 is a Texas Instruments system-side Impedance Track fuel gauge with an integrated 7 mΩ current-sense resistor that reports remaining battery capacity for single-cell Li-Ion packs. According to TI's datasheet, it measures cell voltage, temperature, and current through the internal resistor between BAT and SRX, then computes state-of-charge (%), runtime, and remaining capacity (mAh) using TI's Impedance Track algorithm. It communicates to the host over I2C at up to 400 kHz and ships pre-programmed with chemistry profiles.
What is the maximum charge voltage of the BQ27421-G1A?
The BQ27421-G1A is the 4.2 V full-charge chemistry variant and should be matched with cells whose maximum charge voltage is 4.2 V. According to TI's chemistry-profile guide, the suffix letter identifies the chemistry: -G1A = 4.2 V, -G1B = 4.3 V, and -G1C = 4.35 V. Selecting the wrong chemistry profile causes SOC to over-report near full charge and risks over-charging cells with a lower maximum voltage.
Does the BQ27421-G1 require an external sense resistor?
No. The BQ27421-G1 integrates a 7 mΩ (typical) current-sense resistor between the BAT and SRX pins, eliminating the external precision shunt normally required for coulomb counting. This integration reduces BOM cost and PCB area and improves low-current measurement accuracy. Designers must use a Kelvin connection directly to the integrated resistor balls to avoid parasitic IR drop in the high-current trace.
What package does the BQ27421-G1 ship in?
The BQ27421-G1 ships in a 9-ball DSBGA package (TI orderable suffix YZF), measuring approximately 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm. The YZF suffix in the full orderable name (e.g. BQ27421YZFR-G1A) denotes the DSBGA package plus tape-and-reel packaging. The miniature DSBGA footprint makes the device well suited to wearables, hearables, and other space-constrained single-cell Li-Ion designs.
Where can I buy the BQ27421-G1 and what is the current price?
The BQ27421-G1 family (e.g. BQ27421YZFR-G1A) is currently in stock at DigiKey and Mouser as of 2026-10-07, with the qty-1 unit price starting around $1.92. The BQ27421YZFT-G1B variant is also listed at Mouser with comparable pricing. Volume pricing drops below $1.00 per unit at 1000-piece quantities, making the part cost-effective for consumer portable designs.
What is the lead time for BQ27421-G1 orders?
As of 2026-10-07, both DigiKey and Mouser list BQ27421-G1 chemistry variants (e.g. BQ27421YZFR-G1A) with same-day shipping for small quantities and 8-12 week factory lead times for full-reel volumes. TI's BQ27421-G1 has been actively produced since launch and is not on any NRND or EOL notice, so allocation risk remains low. For high-volume consumer production, ordering through TI authorized distributors with a 12-week planning horizon is recommended.
How does the BQ27421-G1 compare with the BQ27426?
Both the BQ27421-G1 and the BQ27426 are TI single-cell Li-Ion fuel gauges using Impedance Track, but the BQ27421-G1 has an integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor while the BQ27426 requires an external sense resistor. According to TI's product pages, the BQ27426 targets designs needing higher current measurement (with a chosen external shunt) or higher-accuracy high-side sensing, while the BQ27421-G1 prioritizes BOM reduction and small footprint. They are not pin-compatible because the BQ27426 lacks the BAT/SRX pair the BQ27421-G1 uses.
What is the difference between BQ27421-G1A and BQ27421-G1B?
The only difference between BQ27421-G1A and BQ27421-G1B is the pre-programmed chemistry profile — -G1A targets 4.2 V max-charge cells and -G1B targets 4.3 V max-charge cells. Both share the identical BQ27421 silicon die, the same 9-ball DSBGA package, the same I2C address (0x55), and the same electrical characteristics, making them drop-in compatible at the PCB level. The choice is dictated entirely by the cell's specified full-charge voltage.
Can BQ27421YZFR-G1B directly replace BQ27421YZFR-G1A in my design?
Yes — the BQ27421YZFR-G1B can directly replace the BQ27421YZFR-G1A on the same PCB without any layout change because both share the 9-ball DSBGA package and identical pinout. However, you must ensure that your cell's full-charge voltage matches the chemistry profile — replacing -G1A (4.2 V) with -G1B (4.3 V) without updating the host's charge-voltage setting will over-charge a 4.2 V cell. Confirm the cell spec before swapping variants.
Where do I download the BQ27421-G1 datasheet PDF?
The official BQ27421-G1 datasheet is hosted by Texas Instruments at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq27421-g1.pdf and is freely available without registration. Mouser also mirrors the PDF at https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/405/bq27421-g1-452548.pdf. The datasheet contains the I2C command set, sense-resistor layout guidance, chemistry-profile selection table, and DC/AC electrical characteristics required for design-in.
Where do I find the BQ27421-G1 pinout and ball map?
The BQ27421-G1 pinout and DSBGA ball map are shown in the Mechanical Packaging section of the TI datasheet (page referenced in the Mechanical section), which lists all 9 balls including BAT, SRX, SRP, VCC, SDA, SCL, GND, and the unused/No-Connect balls. For a quick reference, the ball-A1 marker is identified in the package drawing; BATT and SRX must be Kelvin-connected directly to the integrated sense resistor pads to avoid measurement error.
When should I choose the BQ27421-G1 over an external-sense-resistor gauge?
Choose the BQ27421-G1 when BOM minimization and a tiny PCB footprint matter more than supporting very high charge/discharge currents. The integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor is well matched to single-cell Li-Ion designs in the 0.5 A to 2 A continuous range typical of wearables, hearables, and IoT endpoints. For high-current applications above ~3 A continuous, choose a gauge with an external sense resistor (e.g. BQ27426) so you can spec the shunt for lower self-heating and higher measurement dynamic range.
Is the BQ27421-G1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the BQ27421-G1 family is RoHS compliant and lead-free per Texas Instruments' product page and material declaration. The DSBGA package uses SAC (Sn-Ag-Cu) lead-free solder balls with a peak reflow profile compatible with standard JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free processes. Halogen-free status is documented on TI's material content declaration page for this part number.
What tools support the BQ27421-G1 for evaluation and configuration?
Texas Instruments offers the bq27421EVM-G1A evaluation module and the Battery Management Studio (bqStudio) GUI for reading registers, configuring data flash, and logging SOC over I2C. The EVM includes the fuel gauge on a breakaway board with an integrated sense resistor and USB interface adapter. For production programming, the chemistry profile is pre-loaded and no further firmware is required on the host MCU.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the BQ27421-G1?
There is no widely adopted cross-brand pin-compatible equivalent for the BQ27421-G1 in the same 9-ball DSBGA footprint with integrated sense resistor — its combination of integrated 7 mΩ shunt, system-side Impedance Track, and DSBGA-9 package is unique to TI. Richtek's RT9426 (referenced in TI E2E forum threads) is a competing pack-side fuel gauge, but it requires an external sense resistor and a different package, so it is not drop-in compatible. Designers needing an alternative should evaluate TI's own BQ27421 chemistry variants (-G1A, -G1B, -G1C) before considering cross-brand options.

선택 가이드

Choose the BQ27421-G1A when you need a system-side fuel gauge with an integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor in a 9-ball DSBGA package for a 4.2 V single-cell Li-Ion design — this is the default choice for wearables, TWS earbuds, and IoT endpoints. Switch to the BQ27421-G1B or -G1C variants only when the cell's full-charge voltage is 4.3 V or 4.35 V respectively, which is common with newer high-energy-density Li-Polymer cells. Choose the BQ27421YZFT (T-suffix tape orientation) over the YZFR (R-suffix) variant when you need smaller reel quantities for prototyping or low-volume production. Move to the BQ27426 only if your design requires an external sense resistor for higher-current sensing or if the DSBGA footprint is incompatible with your assembly process. No widely available cross-brand drop-in alternative exists for the BQ27421-G1's specific combination of integrated shunt, DSBGA-9 package, and Impedance Track algorithm.

주요 차별점

  • Integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor eliminates external shunt (vs BQ27426)
  • Tiny 9-ball DSBGA package (1.6 x 1.6 mm) (vs BQ27426 (larger BGA package))
  • Pre-programmed chemistry profiles with no host firmware required (vs BQ27427 (more configuration required))

설계 노트

Route the BAT and SRX traces as a true 4-wire Kelvin connection directly to the BQ27421-G1's DSBGA balls. The integrated sense resistor measures voltage between BAT and SRX, so any IR drop in the high-current trace (caused by shared current paths or thin copper) introduces SOC error proportional to load current. Use wide copper pours for the high-current path and bring the Kelvin sense traces from the ball pads back to the gauge through a narrow, parallel pair — keep them away from switching nodes like chargers or radios. Estimated: 1 mm of 0.5 oz copper at 1 A continuous introduces ~10 mΩ parasitic, which is comparable to the integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor and would cause significant SOC drift.

The integrated 7 mΩ sense resistor dissipates I^2 x R power — at 2 A continuous charge/discharge the resistor dissipates 28 mW and the small DSBGA package (1.6 mm x 1.6 mm) concentrates heat in the silicon. For pulse loads above 3 A, derate the duty cycle so the average current stays below 2 A, or use the BQ27426 with an external larger sense resistor. Always check the datasheet's Safe Operating Area section for the maximum sustained current at your ambient temperature before finalizing the BOM. Estimated: 28 mW in a DSBGA-9 with theta_JA ~150 C/W raises junction temperature by ~4 C above ambient at 2 A continuous.

Choose the chemistry variant (suffix letter) that matches your cell's specified maximum charge voltage — pairing a 4.2 V cell with -G1B (4.3 V) over-reports SOC near full charge and may lead the host charger to push the cell above its rated voltage. Confirm the cell vendor's datasheet before ordering. Also note that the BQ27421-G1 is a system-side gauge, not a pack-side gauge — it does not authenticate the cell, so designers wanting authentication should add a separate SHA-256 IC or move to a smart-pack architecture.
