SLUSAU1C May 2012 – May 2021 BQ34Z100
PRODUCTION DATA
The Quit Current is used as part of the Impedance Track algorithm to determine when the BQ34Z100 enters RELAX mode from a current flowing mode in either the charge direction or the discharge direction. The value of Quit Current is set to a default value that should be above the standby current of the host system.
Either of the following criteria must be met to enter RELAX mode:
After about 6 minutes in RELAX mode, the device attempts to take accurate OCV readings. An additional requirement of dV/dt < 4 μV/s is required for the device to perform Qmax updates. These updates are used in the Impedance Track algorithms. It is critical that the battery voltage be relaxed during OCV readings, and that the current is not higher than C/20 when attempting to go into RELAX mode.
Quit Relax Time specifies the minimum time required for AverageCurrent() to remain above the Quit Current threshold before exiting RELAX mode.
