This chapter describes the gauge's recoverable protection. When the protection is triggered, charging and/or discharging will be disabled. This is indicated by OperationStatus()[XDSG] = 1 when discharging is disabled (DSG FET is turned OFF), and OperationStatus()[XCHG] = 1 when charging is disabled (the CHG and PCHG FETs are turned OFF). Once the protection is recovered, charging and discharging resumes. All protection items can be enabled or disabled under Settings:Enable Protections A and Settings:Enable Protections B.
To protect the DSG FET body diode, the DSG FET will always be closed when Current() > Charge Detect Current, including when OperationStatus()[XDSG] = 1. Likewise, to protect the CHG FET body diode, the CHG FET will always be closed when Current() ≤ Discharge Detect Current, including when OperationStatus()[XCHG] = 1.
