PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ76925 device outputs a stable reference voltage for use by the Host ADC. A nominal voltage of 1.5 V or 3 V is selected through the REF_SEL bit in the CONFIG_2 register. The reference voltage is very stable across temperature, but the initial voltage may vary by ±4%. The variation from nominal is manifested as a gain error in the ADC conversion result. To correct for this error, offset and gain correction factors are determined at final test and stored in the non-volatile registers VREF_CAL and VREF_CAL_EXT. The Host reads the correction factors and applies them to the nominal reference voltage to arrive at the actual reference voltage as described under Cell Voltage Monitoring. After gain correction, the tolerance of the reference will be within ±0.1%.
