SLUUBY2B September 2020 – May 2022 BQ76952
The BQ76952 device integrates a Precharge Timeout (PTO) Protection that triggers a fault when the device has been in PRECHARGE mode for a time duration PTO_DLY. The PTO_DLY duration is programmable from 0-sec to 65535-sec in 1-sec steps using the Protections:PTO:Delay configuration register. The timer for PTO_DLY only increments while the device is in PRECHARGE mode and the CC1 current exceeds a threshold given by Protections:PTO:Charge Threshold. When the device is in PRECHARGE mode and the current is less than or equal to this threshold, the Precharge Timeout Suspend bit (Safety Alert C()[PTOS]) is set. If the timer reaches the threshold given by Protections:PTO:Delay, the Precharge Timeout fault is triggered. The PTO timer is reset if a continuous discharge occurs with current larger in magnitude than Settings:Current Thresholds:Dsg Current Threshold and an amount of charge is accumulated equal or greater than a programmable level given by Protections:PTO:Reset. The PTO protection is enabled using the Settings:Protection:Enabled Protections C:[PTO] configuration bit.
When a PTO fault is triggered, the device will turn off the PCHG FET if configured for autonomous FET control, based on the setting in Settings:Protection:CHG FET Protections C[PTO]. PRECHARGE mode cannot restart until this fault is cleared by sending the 0x008A PTO_RECOVER() subcommand.
