SLUA906A January 2020 – September 2020 BQ77915
The UV fault test focuses on the DSG turnoff time as cell 17 is monitored below the desired threshold. In Figure 2-1, it is clear that DSG falls and stays low while any cell has a UV fault detected. When all faults are removed the DSG rises, see Figure 2-2. When examining the delay of the DSG rise and fall by measuring the delta between the UV threshold and DSG rise and fall, both figures display a similar response time of close to 1s due to the large RGS. This is expected for the BQ77915 and needs to be accounted for appropriately in any system.
