8.2.2.1.2 Chemical Fuse

The chemical fuse (Dexerials, Uchihashi, and so forth) is ignited under command from either the BQ296103 secondary voltage protection IC or the FUSE pin of the BQ41Z50 gas gauge. For more information, please see BQ296xxx Overvoltage Protection for 2-Series, 3-Series, and 4-Series Cell Li-Ion Batteries with Regulated Output Supply. Either of these events applies a positive voltage to the gate of Q6, shown in Figure 8-3, which then sinks current from the third terminal of the fuse causing it to ignite and open permanently.

It is important to carefully review the fuse specifications and match the required ignition current to that available from the N-channel FET. Ensure that the proper voltage, current, and RDS(ON) ratings are used for this device. The fuse control circuit is discussed in detail in Section 8.2.2.2.5.
