Protection FETs

Select the N-channel charge and discharge FETs for a given application. Most portable battery applications are a good match for the CSD17308Q3. For more information, please see CSD17308Q3 30-V N-Channel NexFET™ Power MOSFETs. The TI CSD17308Q3 is a 47A, 30-V device with RDS(ON) of 8.2mΩ when the gate drive voltage is 8V.

If a precharge FET is used, R2 is calculated to limit the precharge current to the desired rate. Be sure to account for the power dissipation of the series resistor. The precharge current is limited to (VCHARGER – VBAT)/R2 and maximum power dissipation is (VCHARGER – VBAT)2/R2.

The gates of all protection FETs are pulled to the source with a high-value resistor between the gate and source to ensure they are turned off if the gate drive is open.

Capacitors C1 and C2 help protect the FETs during an ESD event. Using two devices ensures normal operation if one becomes shorted. To have good ESD protection, the copper trace inductance of the capacitor leads must be designed to be as short and wide as possible. Ensure that the voltage rating of both C1 and C2 are adequate to hold off the applied voltage if one of the capacitors becomes shorted.
