SLUUCF2C January 2021 – May 2022 BQ769142
The BQ769142 device includes a separate hardware monitor circuit which determines if the LFO oscillator frequency deviates excessively from its expected value. If such a deviation is detected, the device can trigger an LFO Oscillator PF (LFOF) and disable the battery pack. This PF can be enabled by setting the Settings:Permanent Failure:Enabled PF C[LFOF] and Settings:Manufacturing:Mfg Status Init[PF_EN] configuration bits.
