The BQ77205 family of products
provides a range of voltage and temperature monitoring, including overvoltage
protection (OVP) and open-wire (OW) protection for Li-ion battery pack systems. Each
cell is monitored independently for overvoltage and open-wire conditions.
In the BQ77205 device, an internal
delay timer is initiated upon detection of an overvoltage or open-wire condition. Upon
expiration of the delay timer, the respective output is triggered into its active
state (either high or low, depending on the configuration).
The overvoltage triggers the OUT pin
if a fault is detected. If an open-wire fault is detected, then the OUT is
triggered. For quicker production-line testing, the BQ77205 device provides a
Customer Test Mode (CTM) with significantly reduced delay time.
