8.3.1.1 Monitoring and Control Operational Overview

The BQ33100 periodically determines the capacitance and equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the super capacitor array during normal operation. The Learning Frequency is a register that sets the time between automatic learning cycles of the super capacitor, which can also be manually executed by issuing a Learn command. The BQ33100 uses the learning cycles to update the Capacitance and ESR registers accordingly, and both are accessible through the SMBus interface.

The learning process is a multi-step procedure fully controlled by the BQ33100 that will perform the following sequence to learn capacitance and ESR:

  1. Charge to V Learn Max.
  2. Discharge using constant current load to a minimum voltage of the present charging voltage and internally record voltage and time.
  3. Charge to V Learn Max.
  4. Discharge using constant current load and internally record current and time.
  5. Calculate capacitance and ESR based on recorded voltage and current.
  6. Determine the new charging voltage.

Equation 1. C = I × (t[D]–t[C])/(V[C]–V[D])

and

Equation 2. ESR = (V[A]–V[B])/I
