This design uses two parallel 2-mΩ, 2-W, 50-PPM shunt resisters to measure pack current. Board offset was calibrated using the guidance of the calibration section of the data sheet. Next, Current Gain was calibrated with 2-A discharging current. Write the Board Offset and Current Gain values with OTP to BQ7690X; otherwise, the MCU has to store such data and write to BQ7690X every time the MCU wakes up from shutdown mode.
Figure 4-4 shows the pack current accuracy data under room temperature. The maximum current error is about ±10 mA when the discharging current is below 3 A and about ±0.5% when the discharging current is above 3 A.
