SLUUBT5C November 2018 – June 2021 BQ40Z80
The gauge enters PRECHARGE mode if,
Depending on the FET Options[PCHG_COMM] settings, the external precharge FET or CHG FET can be used in PRECHARGE mode. Setting Precharge Start Voltage and Charging Voltage Low = 0 mV disables the precharge function.
[PCHG_COMM] = 0 | [PCHG_COMM] = 1 |
---|---|
FET USED: external precharge FET | FET USED: CHG FET |
The BQ40Z80 device also supports 0-V charging using either an external precharge FET or CHG FET. If [PCHG_COMM] = 1, the gauge enables the hardware 0-V charging circuit automatically when the battery stack voltage is below the minimum operation voltage of the device (see the BQ40Z80 2-Series to 7-Series Li-Ion Battery Pack Manager Data Sheet [SLUSBV4] for BQ40Z80 electrical specifications).
