Impedance Track is a trademark of Texas Instruments.

The bq20z40 SBS-compliant gas gauge and protection IC, incorporating patented Impedance Track™ technology, is designed for battery-pack or in-system installation. The bq20z40 measures and maintains an accurate record of available charge in Li-ion or Li-polymer batteries using its integrated high-performance analog peripherals. The bq20z40 monitors capacity change, battery impedance, open-circuit voltage, and other critical parameters of the battery pack, and reports the information to the system host controller over a serial-communication bus. It is designed to work with the bq29330 analog front-end (AFE) protection IC to maximizes functionality and safety while minimizing external component count and cost in smart battery circuits.

The Impedance Track™ technology continuously analyzes the battery impedance, resulting in superior gas-gauging accuracy. This enables the remaining capacity to be calculated with discharge rate, temperature, and cell aging that are all accounted for during each stage of every cycle.
