Abstract: A circuit comprises a battery field-effect transistor (FET) coupled between a battery and an electronic system so that current from the battery flows through the battery FET to the electronic system. A replica FET couples the battery to a current sensing circuit. One of the battery FET and the replica FET comprises a plurality of parallel FET segments having separate control terminals. A logic block provides a plurality of switch control signals based on a system state input. A switching circuit receives the switch control signals and selectively couples the separate control terminals of the FET segments to one of a first reference voltage terminal or a second reference voltage terminal to independently turn each FET segment on or off. The current sensing circuit provides a voltage indicative of the current flowing through the replica FET.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a temperature sensing loop used in connection with a current sensing component, such as a BATFET, in order to compensate for variations in the BATFET's resistance due to temperature variations. The temperature sensing loop detects a temperature of the BATFET and regulates the gate voltage of the BATFET based on the detected temperature in order to compensate for changes in the BATFET's resistance. The temperature sensing feedback loop maintains the BATFET at a constant resistance for current sensing through negative feedback control. The BATFET and temperature sensing loop can be provided as components of an on-chip fuel gauging application for a UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a state of charge of a battery on a mobile device are disclosed. An exemplary method may include obtaining, when the battery is applying a level of current below a threshold level, an initial state of charge of the battery based upon a measured open circuit voltage value that is applied by the battery. Charge drawn from, and provided to, the battery is monitored from a time after the measured open circuit voltage value is obtained and a state of charge value is calculated when the battery is loaded after the initial open circuit voltage value is obtained based upon the monitored charge. An estimated open circuit voltage for the battery is calculated based upon simultaneous measurements of battery voltage and battery current, and a corrected state of charge value is generated using the estimated open circuit voltage.
