ADVANCE INFORMATION
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The BQ41Z90 provides controls of CHG, DSG, PCHG and PDSG with flexibility of various configurations. The device supports a system with FETs in a series or parallel configuration, which includes a separate path for the charger connection into to the connector versus the discharge (load) connection , as well as a system that does not use one or both FETs. The FETs arrangement are different in the series configuration versus parallel configuration for the protection.
If the CHG FET is off, the DSG or PDSG FET is on, and a discharge current greater in magnitude than a programmable threshold (that is, a significant discharging current) is detected, the device will turn on the CHG FET, to avoid current flowing through the CHG FET body diode and damaging the FET. When the current rises above the threshold (that is, less discharge current flowing), the CHG FET will be turned off again if the reasons for its turn-off are still present.
If the DSG FET is off, the CHG or PCHG FET is on, and a current in excess of a programmable threshold (that is, a significant charging current) is detected, the device will turn on the DSG FET, to avoid current flowing through the DSG FET body diode and damaging the FET. When the current falls below the threshold (that is, less charging current flowing), the DSG FET will be turned off again if the reasons for its turn-off are still present.
When a series FET configuration is used, the BQ41Z90 device provides body diode protection for the case when one FET is off and one FET is on. When a parallel configuration is used, the body diode protection is disabled.
