SLUS987C January 2011 – December 2019 BQ33100
PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ33100 can detect capacitor overvoltage condition and protect capacitors from damage. When any CapacitorVoltage5...1 exceeds (ChargingVoltage() / number of capacitors (see Operation Cfg [CC2,1,0] ) + OV Threshold) the [OV] flag in SafetyAlert is set.
When any CapacitorVoltage5...1 exceeds (ChargingVoltage() / number of capacitors (see Operation Cfg [CC2,1,0] ) + OV Threshold) for a period greater than OV Time the [OV] flag in SafetyStatus is set.
When the BQ33100 is configured for PACK mode, when Operation Cfg[STACK] =1, then a fault is detected when Voltage exceeds (ChargingVoltage() + OV Threshold) the [OV] flag in SafetyAlert is set.
When the BQ33100 is configured for PACK mode, when Operation Cfg[STACK] =1, then a fault is detected when Voltage exceeds (ChargingVoltage() + OV Threshold) for a period greater than OV Time the [OV] flag in SafetyStatus is set.
This function is disabled if OV Time is set to 0.
In an overvoltage condition charging is disabled and the CHG FET is turned off, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage() are set to 0.
The BQ33100 recovers from a capacitor overvoltage condition if all CapacitorVoltages5..1 are equal to or lower than (ChargingVoltage() / number of capacitors (see Operation Cfg [CC2,1,0] ) + OV Recovery. If the BQ33100 is configured for PACK mode, then the recover occurs when Voltage is equal to or lower than (ChargingVoltage() + OV Recovery.
On recovery the [OV] flag is reset, and ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage() are set back to appropriate values per the charging algorithm.
NOTE
When ChargingVoltage() has been set to 0 due to a detected condition then the capacitor overvoltage function is suspended.
