6.4 ALERT Pin Operation

The BQ77307 includes functionality to generate an alarm signal at the ALERT pin, which can be used as an interrupt to a host processor. The ALERT pin is an open-drain pin that is pulled low by the device whenever an alarm signal is generated. The alarm signal is an OR of all bits in the 0x62 Alarm Status() result. The alarm function includes a programmable mask (set using 0x66 Alarm Enable()), to allow the customer to decide which flags or events can trigger an alarm. The instantaneous, unlatched bits available to trigger an alarm can be read from the 0x64 Alarm Raw Status() command, these bits are described in the table below.

Table 6-4 Alarm Options
NameDescription
SSAThis bit is set when a bit in 0x03 Safety Status A() is set
SSBThis bit is set when a bit in 0x05 Safety Status B() is set
SAAThis bit is set when a bit in 0x02 Safety Alert A() is set
SABThis bit is set when a bit in 0x04 Safety Alert B() is set
XCHGThis bit is set when the CHG FET is off.
XDSGThis bit is set when the DSG FET is off.
SHUTVStack voltage is below Power:Shutdown:Shutdown Stack Voltage or a cell voltage is below Power:Shutdown:Shutdown Cell Voltage.
INITCOMPThis bit in 0x64 Alarm Raw Status() pulses momentarily when the device completes the startup evaluation sequence (which occurs at initial power up, reset, and exit of CONFIG_UPDATE mode).
CDRAW / CDTOGGLEThis bit in 0x64 Alarm Raw Status() is CDRAW, the value of the CHG Detector output. The corresponding bit in 0x62 Alarm Status() is CDTOGGLE, which is set whenever the debounced version of CDRAW changes state from the previous latched state.
PORThis bit reflects the POR bit in 0x12 Battery Status(). It is set when the device is first powered up, and is cleared when CONFIG_UPDATE mode is exited. If the host initializes settings at each device power up, monitoring this bit can alert the host that a reset has occurred and the device needs to be reinitialized.

The 0x64 Alarm Raw Status() command provides the unlatched instantaneous value of each signal listed above. For each signal that is specified by the masking to be included in the alarm, when the bit in 0x64 Alarm Raw Status() is asserted, the bit is latched into the 0x62 Alarm Status() register, and the ALERT pin is asserted (pulled low) if any bit in 0x62 Alarm Status() is asserted. When the host receives the interrupt from the ALERT pin pulled low, the host can read the 0x62 Alarm Status() register to determine which flag has caused the alarm. The host can then write to the 0x62 Alarm Status() command with the corresponding bits set, and the corresponding flags are unlatched.

The default alarm mask is set by the Settings:Configuration:Default Alarm Mask data memory value. This mask can be changed during operation using the 0x66 Alarm Enable() command, to mask or unmask individual bits from generating an alarm signal.

The [INITCOMP] bit in Alarm Raw Status() only pulses momentarily when an event occurs, so is not intended to be monitored by reading 0x64 Alarm Raw Status(). If this bit is included by mask setting in the 0x62 Alarm Status(), then the corresponding bit in 0x62 Alarm Status() latches and remains asserted until cleared by the host.
