This design uses one 0.3mΩ, 15W, 25PPM shunt resistor to measure pack current. The board offset was calibrated using the guidance of the calibration section of the BQ769x2 Calibration and OTP Programming Guide. Then current gain was calibrated with 6A discharging current and also following the guidance of this application note. Write the board offset and current gain values with one-time-programmable (OTP) to the bottom BQ76972; otherwise, the MCU has to store such data and write to the bottom BQ76972 every time the device wakes up from shutdown mode. Figure 3-7 shows the pack current accuracy data under room temperature. The maximum current error is below 20mA when the discharging current is below 5A and 0.2% when the discharging current is above 5A.
