PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq76200 device has simple-logic input pins (CHG_EN, DSG_EN, PCHG_EN, CP_EN, and PMON_EN) that can accept a control signal from any MCU I/O. At the same time, the input pins are designed to tolerate high voltage signal such as the FET driver output from an AFE. This flexibility allows a mix of control input driving from AFE and/or MCU to optimize the system design.
For example, it is recommended to control the CP_EN pin via MCU which the system can turn on the charge pump at system start-up, excluding the extra FET delay due to charge pump voltage ramping. On the other hand, the CHG_EN and DSG_EN can be driven by the AFE FET driver output, especially if the AFE has hardware protection features (such as the bq76920/30/40 family), to optimize the FET reaction time.
All the input pins have internal pull-down resistor. The outputs are default to be off if any of the input pins are at high-Z state.
