DESCRIPTION
The bq77910A is a battery protection and cell
balancing device intended for Li-ion and Li-Polymer
battery packs.
The bq77910A monitors 4- to 10-series individual cell
voltages and provides fast-acting outputs which may
be used to drive N-channel MOSFETs to interrupt the
power path. Activation delays and recovery methods
for safety conditions are fully programmable in
non-volatile memory.
Automatic cell balancing is provided using internal
50-mA cell circuits. A robust balancing algorithm
ensures optimum performance by maintaining all cell
voltages in balance. Balancing may be configured to
operate at all times, only during charge, or can be
disabled completely.
Additional advanced safety features of the bq77910A
include the ability to control split power-path
MOSFETs, an open-cell sense-line detection
mechanism, and the ability to detect an open or
shorted external temperature sensor fault condition.
Programmable Protection Functions
• Wide range of programmable detection thresholds
and delay times
• Configurable for multiple cell types and application
requirements:
– Cell overvoltage
– Cell undervoltage
– Pack discharge overcurrent
– Pack discharge short circuit
– Pack charge short-circuit current
• Variable gain (×1 or ×5) current-sense circuit
– Compatible with a wide range of current-sense
resistors (1 mΩ to 5 mΩ typical) sized for
application requirements
Fixed Hardware Protection Functions
• Preset overtemperature protections
• Open-cell detection
• Open and shorted thermistor detection
• Brownout protection quickly shuts off FETs under
low-battery conditions to minimize the risk of FET
overheating
WARNING
The bq77908/bq77908A-series and bq77910/bq77910A-series integrated circuits
help system designers greatly enhance the safety of their Li-Ion and Li-Polymer
battery packs when integrated effectively and in accordance with the
instructions detailed in this document by technically qualified personnel familiar
with battery pack application safety. This datasheet must be read in full before
working with the bq77910A.
