SLUUBT5C November 2018 – June 2021 BQ40Z80
The BQ40Z80 supports a PRE-DISCHARGE mode in which, when the DSG FET is determined to be turned on from the OFF state, the pre-discharge (PDSG) FET is turned on first for a predefined time or until pack voltage is charged to a level near that of the top of the cell stack (BAT voltage), whichever happens first. PRE-DISCHARGE mode is enabled by setting FET Options[PDSG] = 1.
