Temperature adapts the charge rate compensation fac-
tors over three ranges between nominal, warm, and hot
temperatures.The compensation factors are shown below.
Discharge Compensation
Corrections for the rate of discharge are made by adjust-
ing an internal discharge compensation factor. The dis-
charge factor is based on the dynamically measured V
SR
.
The compensation factors during discharge are:
Temperature compensation during discharge also takes place.
At lower temperatures, the compensation factor increases by
0.05foreach10°Ctemperaturerangebelow10°C.
Comp. factor = 1.00 + (0.05*N)
Where N = number of 10°C steps below 10°C and
-150mV < V
SR
< 0.
For example:
T > 10°C:Nominal compensation,N = 0
0°C < T < 10°C:N = 1 (i.e.,1.00 becomes 1.05)
-10°C < T < 0°C:N = 2 (i.e.,1.00 becomes 1.10)
-20°C < T < -10°C:N = 3 (i.e.,1.00 becomes 1.15)
-20°C < T < -30°C:N = 4 (i.e.,1.00 becomes 1.20)
Self-Discharge Compensation
The self-discharge compensation is programmed for a
nominal rate of
1
64
*NAC per day,
147
NAC per day, or
disabled.
This is the rate for a battery within the
20
°
C–30°C temperature range (TMPGG = 6x). This rate
varies across 8 ranges from <10°C to >70°C, doubling
with each higher temperature step (10°C). See Table 3
Digital Magnitude Filter
The bq2014 has a programmable digital filter to elimi-
nate charge and discharge counting below a set thresh-
old.
The default setting is -0.30mV for V
SRD
and
+0.38mV for V
SRQ
. The proper digital filter setting can
be calculated using the following equation.

Error Summary
Capacity Inaccurate
The LMD is susceptible to error on initialization or if no up-
dates occur. On initialization, the LMD value includes the
error between the programmed full capacity and the actual
capacity. This error is present until a valid discharge oc-
curs and LMD is updated (see the DCR description on page
7). The other cause of LMD error is battery wear-out. As
the battery ages, the measured capacity must be adjusted
toaccountforchangesinactualbatterycapacity.
A Capacity Inaccurate counter (CPI) is maintained and
incremented each time a valid charge occurs (qualified
by NAC; see the CPI register description) and is reset
