SLVSHK6 March 2025 TPS61381-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The battery state-of-health (SOH) detection function allows TPS61381-Q1 to detect the internal resistance of the backup battery (BUB). When the EN_CHGR pin is high and CHGR_SOH_EN=10b, the SOH function is enabled. After enabled, the device enters SOH mode when VOUT> wake up voltage.
In SOH mode, the backup battery is discharged by a constant current programmed by I2C SOH_I bits. During the test, the TPS61381-Q1 AVI pin can be configured to output the backup battery’s voltage, discharge current and the battery temperature with the ratio selected by I2C. Connect AVI pin to your MCU ADC to acquire and calculate internal resistance.
The ISO FET Q3 is turned on during SOH mode. So TI suggests the output voltage is higher than BUB voltage during SOH operation to avoid inrush current through high side body diode.
