SLUUCF2C January 2021 – May 2022 BQ769142
The BQ769142 device integrates a Discharge FET (DFETF) Permanent Fail, which can permanently disable the pack if a discharge current is measured that reaches or exceeds a programmable threshold for a programmable delay time while the discharge FET is disabled. The threshold is set by Permanent Fail:DFETF:OFF Threshold, and the delay is set by Permanent Fail:DFETF:OFF Delay. This PF check is enabled by setting the Settings:Permanent Failure:Enabled PF B[DFETF] and Settings:Manufacturing:Mfg Status Init[PF_EN] configuration bits. The value of Permanent Fail:DFETF:OFF Threshold should typically be a negative number.
