High-Side NFET Drivers

The BQ41Z90 device includes an integrated charge pump and high-side NFET drivers for driving CHG, DSG, PCHG and PDSG protection FETs. The charge pump uses an external capacitor connected between the BAT and CP pin that is charged to an overdrive voltage when the charge pump is enabled.

The overdrive level of the charge pump voltage can be set to 7V or 10V, based on the configuration setting. In general, the 7V setting results in lower power dissipation when a FET is being driven, while the higher 10V overdrive reduces the on-resistance of the FET. If a FET exhibits significant gate leakage current when driven at the higher overdrive level, this can result in a higher device current for the charge pump to support this. In this case, using the lower overdrive level can reduce the leakage current and thus the device current.

A 10 MΩ resistor between the FET gate and source is required. The charge (CHG) and discharge (DSG) FETs are automatically disabled if a protection fault is detected. When the gate drive is disabled, an internal circuit discharges CHG to BAT and DSG to PACK.

The FET drivers in the BQ41Z90 device can be controlled in several different manner, depending on customer requirements:

Fully autonomous
The BQ41Z90 device can detect protection faults and autonomously disable the FETs, monitor for a recovery condition, and autonomously reenable the FETs, without requiring any host processor involvement. The device provides flexibility to configure the aumonomous protections per use cases.
Partially autonomous
The BQ41Z90 device can detect protection faults and autonomously disable the FETs. When the host receives an interrupt and recognizes the fault, the host can send commands across the digital communications interface to keep the FETs off until the host decides to release them.
Alternatively, the host can assert the CFETOFF or DFETOFF pins to keep the FETs off. As long as these pins are asserted, the FETs are blocked from being reenabled. When these pins are deasserted, the BQ41Z90 will reenable the FETs if nothing is blocking them being reenabled (such as fault conditions still present, or the CFETOFF or DFETOFF pins are asserted).
Manual control
The BQ41Z90 device can detect protection faults and provide an interrupt to a host processor over the interrupt pin. The host processor can read the status information of the fault over the communication bus (if desired) and can quickly force the CHG or DSG FETs off by driving the CFETOFF or DFETOFF pins from the host processor, or commands over the digital communications interface.
When the host decides to allow the FETs to turn on again, it writes the appropriate command or deasserts the CFETOFF and DFETOFF pins, and the BQ41Z90 device will reenable the FETs if nothing is blocking them being reenabled.
