SLUUCF2C January 2021 – May 2022 BQ769142
The BQ769142 device integrates a Voltage Imbalance in Relax (VIMR) Permanent Fail, which can permanently disable the pack if an excessive level of cell imbalance is detected while the pack is in a relax state, which is determined by the absolute value of measured current being less than Permanent Fail:VIMR:Max Relax Current. The VIMR PF is only checked if the maximum cell voltage is above Permanent Fail:VIMR:Check Voltage and the absolute value of measured current is less than Permanent Fail:VIMR:Max Relax Current for a time duration of at least Permanent Fail:VIMR:Relax Min Duration. This check will generate a PF fault when a cell imbalance (that is, the difference in the maximum and minimum cell voltages) is detected that meets or exceeds Permanent Fail:VIMR:Threshold for a time duration of Permanent Fail:VIMR:Delay. This PF check is enabled by setting the Settings:Permanent Failure:Enabled PF B[VIMR] and Settings:Manufacturing:Mfg Status Init[PF_EN] configuration bits.
