SLUSBV4C June 2018 – June 2025 BQ40Z80
PRODUCTION DATA
The System Present signal is used to inform the gas gauge whether the pack is installed into or removed from the system. In the host system, this pin is grounded. The PRES pin of the BQ40Z80 is used if J5[1, 2] jumper is installed, and is occasionally sampled to test for system present. To save power, an internal pullup is provided by the gas gauge during a 4μs sampling pulse once per second. Use a resistor to pull the signal low; the resistance must be 20kΩ or lower to verify that the test pulse is lower than the VIL limit. The pullup current source is typically 10µA to 20µA.
Because the System Present signal is part of the pack connector interface to the outside world, it must be protected from external electrostatic discharge events. An integrated ESD protection on the PRES device pin reduces the external protection requirement to R12 for an 8kV ESD contact rating. If it is possible that the System Present signal shorts to PACK+, include an E2 spark gap for high-voltage protection.
