6.7 Overcurrent in Discharge 1 and 2 Protections

The BQ76907 integrates two Overcurrent in Discharge Protections (OCD1, OCD2) using a comparator that monitors the differential voltage across the SRN - SRP pins and triggers an OCD1 or OCD2 alert or fault when the voltage exceeds a programmable threshold VOCD1 and VOCD2, respectively. The VOCD1/2 thresholds are programmable from 4 mV to 200 mV in 2 mV steps using the Protections:Current:Overcurrent in Discharge 1 Protection Threshold and Protections:Current:Overcurrent in Discharge 2 Protection Threshold configuration registers. These two protections operate identically, but can have independent threshold and delay settings. The OCD1 and OCD2 protections are enabled using the Settings:Protection:Enabled Protections A:[OCD1] and [OCD2] configuration bits.

The OCD1/2 circuitry triggers an alert signal when an overcurrent in discharge event is first detected, then triggers a fault if it persists for a programmable detection delay, OCD1_DLY or OCD2_DLY, which can be set as shown below.

Setting Nominal Delay (ms)
0 Fastest (approximately 0.46 ms)
1 to 64 1.22 ms to 20.435 ms in steps of 0.305 ms
65 to 128 22.875 ms to 176.595 ms in steps of 2.44 ms
129 to 192 181.475 ms to 488.915 ms in steps of 4.88 ms
193 to 255 498.675 ms to 1103.795 ms in steps of 9.77 ms

The delay is set by the Protections:Current:Overcurrent in Discharge 1 Protection Delay and Protections:Current:Overcurrent in Discharge 2 Protection Delay configuration registers.

When an OCD fault is triggered, the device turns off the DSG FET if configured for autonomous FET control in Settings:Protection:DSG FET Protections A[OCD1, OCD2]. The device recovers after a programmable delay given by Protections:Current:Recovery Time, which can be set from 1-sec to 255-sec in 1-sec steps. A recovery time setting of 0 disables autonomous recovery, in which case recovery only occurs when the PROT_RECOVERY() command is sent from the host with the appropriate [OCD1REC] or [OCD2REC] bit set. Continual retrying of time-based recovery can be avoided by using the Current Protection Latch feature.
