SLUUA65E april 2014 – june 2023 BQ28Z610
The BQ28Z610 device has three main hardware-based protections—AOLD, ASCC, and ASCD1,2—with adjustable current and delay time. Setting AFE Protection Configuration[RSNS] divides the threshold value in half. The Threshold settings are in mV; therefore, the actual current that triggers the protection is based on the RSENSE used in the schematic design (see the BQ28Z610 1-Cell to 2-Series Cell Li-Ion Battery Pack Manager Data Sheet [SLUSAS3]).
In addition, setting the AFE Protection Configuration[SCDDx2] bit provides an option to double all of the SCD1,2 delay times for maximum flexibility towards the application's needs.
For details on how to configure the AFE hardware protection, refer to the tables in Appendix A.
All of the hardware-based protections provide a short term Trip/Recovery protection to account for a current spike. The fault protection detects current spikes and after a delay time will turn OFF both FETs. Then with a delay up to 250 ms, the non-appropriate FET associated with the fault condition will turn back ON. The recovery method is a timer-based recovery set in Protections.
Generally, when a fault is detected after the Delay time, both CHG and DSG FETs will be disabled (Trip stage). Since both FETs are off, the current will drop to 0 mA. After Recovery time, the CHG FET or DSG FET will be turned on again (Recovery stage) based on the fault condition.
The Trip/Recovery are documented in each of the following hardware-based protection sections.
There is no PRES pin on the BQ28Z610 device.
