3 Description

The BQ77216xx family of products provides a range

of voltage and temperature monitoring, including

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

(OW), undertemperature (UT), and overtemperature

(OT) protection for Li-ion 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 undertemperature and overtemperature

conditions.

In the BQ77216xx device, an internal delay timer

is initiated upon detection of an overvoltage,

undervoltage, open-wire,undertemperature, 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).

Overvoltage triggers the COUT pin if a fault is

detected, and undervoltage triggers the DOUT pin

if a fault is detected. If an overtemperature or openwire

fault is detected, then the DOUT and COUT

are triggered. For quicker production-line testing, the

BQ77216xx device provides a Customer Test Mode

(CTM) with greatly reduced delay time.
