PRODUCTION DATA
The CHG and CHGU pins are driven high only when no related faults (OV, OW, OTC, UTC, OTD, UTD, OCD1, OCD2, SCD, and CTRC are disabled) are present or the pack has a discharge current where (SRP-SRN) < VSTATE_D1 . The CHG pin drives the CHG FET, which is for use on the single device configuration or by the bottom device in a stack configuration. The CHGU pin has the same logic state as the CHG pin and is for use in the upper device (in a multi-stack configuration) to provide the drive signal to the CTRC pin of the lower device. The CHGU pin should never connect to the CHG FET directly.
Turning off the CHG pin has no influence on the overcurrent protection circuitry. The CHG pin is designed to switch on quickly and the target on resistance is about 2 kΩ. When the pin is turned off, the CHG driver pin is actively driven low and will fall together with PACK–.
The CHG FET may be turned on to protect the FET's body diode if the pack is discharging, even if a charging inhibit fault condition is present. This is done through the state comparator. The state comparator (with the VSTATE_D threshold) remains on for the entire duration of a DSG fault with no CHG fault event.
The CHGFET_OFF signal is a result of the presence of any related faults, as shown in Figure 8-7.
