SLUUCW9 December 2023 BQ76972
The BQ76972 device integrates a Charge FET (CFETF) Permanent Fail, which can permanently disable the pack if a charging current is measured that reaches or exceeds a programmable threshold for a programmable delay time while the charge FET is disabled. The threshold is set by Permanent Fail:CFETF:OFF Threshold, and the delay is set by Permanent Fail:CFETF:OFF Delay. This PF check is enabled by setting the Settings:Permanent Failure:Enabled PF B[CFETF] and Settings:Manufacturing:Mfg Status Init[PF_EN] configuration bits.
