SLUUBD4A April 2016 – November 2022 BQ27220
The BQ27220 device estimates the initial capacity of a battery pack at device reset, which is the case when battery cells are first attached to the application circuit. The initial FullChargeCapacity() (FCC) is a direct copy of the data flash parameter Learned Full Charge Capacity. The initial RM and RSOC are estimated using the open-circuit voltage (OCV) characteristics of the programmed Li-Ion chemistry, DOD at EDV2, and Qmax Pack. This gives a reasonably accurate RM and RSOC; however, battery capacity learning is required in order to find the accurate FCC, RM, and RSOC. During battery capacity learning, Learned Full Charge Capacity, and DOD at EDV2 will be learned and updated.
The data flash Learned Full Charge Capacity, DOD at EDV2, and Qmax Pack, as well as the CEDV profile parameters are stored separately for each of the four selectable battery profiles. However, there is only a single OCV lookup table. The OCV table should be selected based on a best fit for all cell profiles.
The data flash parameter Learned Full Charge Capacity should be initialized to the Design Capacity mAh. DOD at EDV2 should be initialized to (1 – Battery_Low%) × 16384, where Battery_Low% = Battery Low % ÷ 100.
