PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq3050 uses an integrating delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for current measurement, and a second delta-sigma ADC for individual cell and battery voltage and temperature measurement.
The integrating delta-sigma ADC measures the charge/discharge flow of the battery by measuring the voltage drop across a small-value sense resistor between the SR1 and SR2 pins. The integrating ADC measures bipolar signals from –0.25 V to 0.25 V. The bq3050 detects charge activity when VSR = V(SRP) – V(SRN) is positive, and discharge activity when VSR = V(SRP) – V(SRN) is negative. The bq3050 continuously integrates the signal over time, using an internal counter. The fundamental rate of the counter is 0.65 nVh.
The bq3050 updates the individual series cell voltages at 0.25-second intervals. The internal ADC of the bq3050 measures the voltage, and scales and calibrates it appropriately. This data is also used to calculate the impedance of the cell for the CEDV gas-gauging.
The bq3050 uses the SRP and SRN inputs to measure and calculate the battery charge and discharge current using a 5-mΩ to 20-mΩ typ. sense resistor.
The bq3050 provides an auto-calibration feature to cancel the voltage offset error across SRN and SRP for maximum charge measurement accuracy. The bq3050 performs auto-calibration when the SMBus lines stay low continuously for a minimum of 5 s.
The bq3050 has an internal temperature sensor and inputs for two external temperature sensors. All three temperature sensor options are individually enabled and configured for cell or FET temperature. Two configurable thermistor models are provided to allow the monitoring of cell temperature in addition to FET temperature, which may be of a higher temperature type.
The bq3050 uses SMBus v1.1 with Master Mode and packet error checking (PEC) options per the SBS specification.
The bq3050 detects an SMBus off state when SMBC and SMBD are low for two or more seconds. Clearing this state requires that either SMBC or SMBD transition high. The communication bus will resume activity within 1 ms.
