7.5.3 Cell Open Wire Protection

The BQ77307 device supports detection of a broken connection between a cell in the pack and the cell attachment to the PCB containing the BQ77307 device. Without this check, the voltage at the cell input pin of the BQ77307 device may persist for some time on the board-level capacitor, leading to incorrect voltage readings. The Cell Open Wire detection in the BQ77307 device operates by enabling a small current source from each cell to VSS at programmable intervals. If a cell input pin is floating due to an open wire condition, this current discharges the capacitance, causing the voltage at the pin to slowly drop. This drop in voltage eventually triggers a protection fault on that particular cell and the cell above it.

The Cell Open Wire current will be enabled at a periodic interval set by configuration register. This provides programmability in the average current drawn from ≈10 pA to ≈10 µA, based on the typical current level of 55 µA. See the BQ77307 Technical Reference Manual for more details.

Note: The Cell Open Wire check can create a cell imbalance, so the settings should be selected appropriately.
