3. TECHNICAL BRIEF

3.4.11 Fuel Gauge

AB2000 supports the measurement of the current consumption/charging current in the U8100 with a
fuel gauge block. By constantly integrating the current flowing into and out of the battery, the fuel
gauge block is used to determine the remaining battery capacity.
The function of the fuel gauge block is schematically described in Figure. A sense resistor
R_FGSENSE is connected in series with the battery. The voltage across the resistor, equivalent to the
current entering/leaving the battery, is integrated using an ADC block.
