PRODUCTION DATA
A set window comparator provides cell voltage monitoring for all VC channels. This comparator function is entirely separate from the ADC function and as such, even if the ADC function fails, the analog comparators still flag the crossing of the overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) comparator thresholds. The programmed thresholds are translated through DACs to the comparators.
The OV and UV thresholds set by OV_THRESH and UV_THRESH registers are the same for all VC channels. The active channels are defined by the ACTIVE_CELL[NUM_CELL3:0] bits. These bits set the highest active channel number and the device assumes any lower channels are also active.
The UV_DISABLE1 and UV_DISABLE2 registers setting disable any individual channel for UV detection, such as channel is connected to bus bar.
Otherwise, the OV protector detects an OV fault on a particular channel if the VC channel voltage is greater than the OV_THRESH setting. The UV protector detects a UV fault on a particular channel if the VC channel voltage is less than the UV_THRESH setting.
