PRODUCTION DATA
If the battery contains more than 1-s cells, a voltage divider network is required. Design the divider network, based on the formula below. The voltage division required is from the highest expected battery voltage, down to approximately 900 mV. For example, using a lower leg resistor of 16.5 KΩ where the highest expected voltage is 32000 mV:
Rseries = 16.5 KΩ (32000 mV – 900 mV)/900 mV = 570.2 KΩ
Based on price and availability, a 600-K resistor or pair of 300-K resistors could be used in the top leg along with a 16.5-K resistor in the bottom leg.
Set the Voltage Divider in the Data Flash Calibration section of the Evaluation Software to 32000 mV.
Use the Evaluation Software to calibrate to the applied nominal voltage; for example, 24000 mV. After calibration, a slightly different value will appear in the Voltage Divider parameter, which can be used as a default value for the project.
Following the successful voltage calibration, calculate and apply the value to Flash Update OK Cell Volt as: Flash Update OK Cell Volt = 2800 mV × Number Of Series Cells × 5000/Voltage Divider.
