SLUUBY2B September 2020 – May 2022 BQ76952
The BQ76952 device integrates an Internal Overtemperature (OTINT) Protection that triggers an alert or fault when the internal temperature is greater than or equal to a programmable threshold TOTINT. The TOTINT threshold is programmable from -40°C to 120°C in 1°C steps using the Protections:OTINT:Threshold configuration register. The OTINT protection is enabled using the Settings:Protection:Enabled Protections B:[OTINT] configuration bit.
The OTINT protection triggers an alert signal when an internal overtemperature event is first detected, then will trigger a fault after a programmable detection delay, OTINT_DLY, which can be set from 0-sec to 255-sec in units of 1-sec. The delay is set by the Protections:OTINT:Delay configuration register.
When an OTINT fault is triggered, the device will turn off the DSG FET, the CHG FET, or both FETs if configured for autonomous FET control, based on settings in Settings:Protection:DSG FET Protections B[OTINT] and Settings:Protection:CHG FET Protections B[OTINT]. The device will recover (if configured for autonomous recovery) when the temperature is less than or equal to the threshold set by Protections:OTINT:Recovery for Protections:Recovery:Time duration.
