Detailed Design Procedure

  • Determine the number of series cells
    • This value depends on the cell chemistry and the load requirements of the system. For example, to support a minimum battery voltage of 18V using Li-CO2 type cells with a cell minimum voltage of 3V, at least 6-series cells are required.
    • For the correct cell connections, see Usage of Unused Pins.
  • Protection FET selection and configuration
    • The BQ76907-Q1 device is designed for use with low-side NFET protection.
    • The configuration should be selected for series versus parallel FETs, which may lead to different FET selections for charge versus discharge direction.
    • These FETs should be rated for the maximum:
      • Voltage, which should be approximately 5V (DC) to 10V (peak) per series cell.
      • Current, which should be calculated based on both the maximum DC current and the maximum transient current with some margin.
      • Power dissipation, which can be a factor of the RDS(ON) rating of the FET, the FET package, and the PCB design.
  • Sense resistor selection
    • The resistance value should be selected to maximize the input range of the coulomb counter but not exceed the absolute maximum ratings, and avoid excessive heat generation within the resistor.
      • Using the normal maximum charge or discharge current, the sense resistor = 200mV / 40.0A = 5mΩ maximum.
      • Considering a short circuit discharge current of 80A, the recommended maximum SRP, SRN voltage of ≈0.75V, and the maximum SCD threshold of 500mV, the sense resistor should be below 500mV / 80A= 6.25mΩ maximum.
    • Further tolerance analysis (value tolerance, temperature variation, and so on) and PCB design margin should also be considered, so a sense resistor of 1mΩ is suitable with a 50ppm temperature coefficient and power rating of 1W.
  • The REGOUT is selected to provide the supply for an external host processor and the pullup supply for the I2C bus and ALERT pin, with output voltage selected for 3.3V.
    • A 1μF or larger capacitor should be placed at the REGOUT pin.
    • The REGOUT draws its input current from the REGSRC pin. This pin is connected to PACK+ through a series diode and 10Ω resistor, with a 1μF capacitor to VSS placed at the REGSRC pin.
