ADVANCE INFORMATION
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
BQ41Z90 has an AFE Watchdog feature to ensure that if the MCU is no longer responsive for any reason, the FETs are not left ON indefinitely.
The Watchdog timer is only enabled when the FETs are on.
There are 3 programmable timers.
The MCU periodically acknowleges the AFE watchdog to reset all timers and to allow the FETs to be turned on.
