PRODUCTION DATA
The device provides an individual balancing timer for each channel. The balancing timer is the primary control setting to start and stop the cell balancing on a channel. The balancing timer is configured by CB_CELL*_CTRL registers, where * = 1 to 16 corresponding to CBFET 1 (CB channel 1) to CBFET 16 (CB channel 16). A non-zero value in these registers sets up the corresponding channels for balancing, but the CBFETs will not turn on until MCU issues the BAL_CTRL2[BAL_GO] = 1. When a channel balancing timer expires, cell balancing on that channel stops. Cell balancing can also stop with other conditions, like cell voltage below a certain threshold, unmasked fault is detected, or a forced stop by the host. Section 9.3.3.3 summarizes the cell balancing stop conditions.
