SLUUCP8A June 2024 – April 2025 BQ41Z50
The BQ41Z50 device can detect an external trigger of the chemical fuse by an external protection circuit such as a 2nd-level protector by monitoring the FUSE pin state.
If the device detects a FUSE pin high state, the CHG and DSG FETs are turned off.
Clearing Enabled PF C[2LVL] does not prevent the second-level protector from triggering and blowing the fuse: Clearing Enabled PF C[2LVL] only prevents the gauge from detecting the FUSE state.
| Status | Condition | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Reset AFE and FUSE pin = low AND No FUSE trigger by firmware | PFAlert()[2LVL] = 0 |
| Alert | FUSE pin = high AND No FUSE trigger by firmware | PFAlert()[2LVL] = 1 Reset AFE FUSE bit |
| Trip | FUSE pin high for 2LVL:Delay period AND No FUSE trigger by firmware | PFAlert()[2LVL] = 0 PFStatus()[2LVL] = 1 |
