9.3.3.1.4 Step 3b: Option to Stop On Cell Voltage Threshold

Besides the balancing timers, cell balancing can stop if the channel voltage is less than a threshold set by the VCB_DONE_THRESH register with a non-zero value. This stop voltage threshold applies to all channels. When this stop option is used, a channel will stop its balancing either if its balancing timer expires or its voltage level is less than VCB_DONE_THRESH setting.

The detection of the VCB_DONE_THRESH setting is performed by the integrated UV protector. The protector must be turned on and running in round robin mode before cell balancing starts. See Section 9.3.4 for the protector control details.

When using the VCB_DONE detection function, the MCU follows the setup sequence state below:

  • Configure the VCB_DONE_THRESH register
  • Enable the UV protector in round robin mode
  • Send [BAL_GO] to 1

Failure to do so may result in no VCB_DONE detection or cell balancing stops at a wrong channel voltage.

If different VCB_DONE thresholds are needed, MCU configures the new threshold values and then re-starts the UV protector to latch in the new setting. It is not required to resend the [BAL_GO] = 1.
