JAJSKT4J July 2021 – November 2023 BQ77216
PRODUCTION DATA
In this application example, the choice of a FUSE or FETs is required on the COUT and DOUT pins—configured as an active-high drive to 6-V outputs.
When pairing with the BQ769x2 or BQ76940 devices, the top cell must be used. For the BQ77216 device to drive the CHG and DSG FETs, the active high 6-V option is preferred. Its COUT and DOUT are controlling two N-CH FETs to jointly control the CHG and DSG FETs with the monitoring device. For such joint architecture, the open-wire feature of the BQ77216 device may be affected if the primary protector or monitor device is actively measuring the cells. Care is needed to ensure the VOW spec of the BQ77216 device is met or to choose a version of the BQ77216 device with open wire disabled. When working with a BQ769x2 device, set the LOOP_SLOW to 0x11 to ensure the BQ77216 VOW spec is met.
