5.4 IT-DZT Chemistry Details

Dynamic load (IT-DZT) applications require a specific Chemistry ID different from the standard IT Chemistry ID. If TI has already created a Chemistry ID and it has High Frequency data (Turbo Mode), TI can use the high frequency data to create the IT-DZT ID.

If this has not been done, the user must contact their local Field Applications Engineer (FAE) to ship cells in to be characterized and formatted into a Chemistry ID.

All IT-DZT profiles will be added to the chemistry settings once user programs the IT-DZT-ChemID. User still needs to ensure that DZT Critical Parameters are configured properly.

Note: For the BQ41Z50 gauge, it is crucial that users use a custom IT-DZT ChemID. If a ChemID is not shown under the list of available battery chemistries, check for latest chemistry update on https://www.ti.com/tool/GASGAUGECHEM-SW.
