I could speculate with confidence that this means IMPedance (since it's ADC).

From MTK6329 datasheet:
"The hardware also includes necessary modes to allow for simultaneous
current and voltage measurement
which can be utilized to estimate the battery impedance."
And googling in vendor trees also suggests the same.
