SLUSG59 February 2026 BQ27Z855
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The BQ27Z855 device has two main loops to control battery charging when the battery voltage reaches the programmed Charging Voltage Low value: the Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) loops.
When the device is in Fast Charge (CC) mode, the CC loop is dominant and the battery is charged at the charge current regulation level ICHG based on the temeprature range and battery voltage range the device is presently operating in. The different ICHG settings the CC loop can regulate charging current at is configurable within device data flash (Refer to the Charging Current section of the BQ27Z855 Technical Reference Manual). The CC loop regulates charging current at the appropriate ICHG setting unless charging is disabled due to a hardware- or firmware-based protection tripping (including JEITA temeprature-related protections) or the MINSYS loop is active.
If enabled, the Fast Charge Timeout Protection (CTO) safety timer counts the time the device spends in Fast Charge and Taper-charge modes and can disable charging if the accumulated time exceeds the CTO:Delay threshold.
