9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The following is the detailed design procedure.
- Select a proper MCU to complete the battery management solution. Refer to the BQ76925 Application report, SLUA619 on MCU requirement.
- Based on the system design, determine if an alternative cell connection for 4-series and 5- series battery pack is needed. Refer to the “Cell Amplifier Headroom Under BAT Voltage Drop” section of this document.
- Determine if a hold-up circuit for BAT and/or an external bypass transistor is needed based on the system design. Follow the reference schematic to complete the circuit design.
- An example circuit design and MCU code implementation is documented in SLUA707 using BQ79625 and MSP430G2xx2.
