3 Description

The BQ77216 family of products provides a range

of voltage and temperature monitoring including

overvoltage (OVP), undervoltage (UVP), open wire

(OW), and overtemperature (OT) protection for Liion

battery pack systems. Each cell is monitored

independently for overvoltage, undervoltage, and

open-wire conditions. With the addition of an

external NTC thermistor, the device can detect

overtemperature conditions.

In the BQ77216 device, an internal delay timer

is initiated upon detection of an overvoltage,

undervoltage, open-wire, or overtemperature

condition. Upon expiration of the delay timer, the

respective output is triggered into its active state

(either high or low, depending on the configuration).
