PRODUCTION DATA
The BQ76905 device monitors pack current using a low-side sense resistor that connects to the SRP and SRN pins through an external RC filter, which should be connected such that a charging current will create a positive voltage on SRP relative to SRN. The differential voltage between SRP and SRN is digitized by an integrated delta-sigma coulomb counter ADC, which can digitize voltages over a ±200-mV range and uses multiple digital filters to provide optimized measurement of the instantaneous, averaged, and integrated current. The device supports a wide range of sense resistor values, with a larger value providing better resolution for the digitized result. The maximum value of the sense resistor should be limited to ensure the differential voltage remains within the ±200-mV range for system operation when the current measurement is desired. For example, a system with a maximum discharge current of 200 A during normal operation (not a fault condition) should limit the sense resistor to 1 mΩ or below.
Multiple digitized current values as well as an accumulated charge integration are available for readout over the serial communications interface, including two using separate hardware digital filters, CC1 and CC2. Further detail on the current measurements and charge integration results available are provided in Current Measurement and Charge Integration.
