The ACOV (Analog Cell Over Voltage) protection is a hardware-based protection that monitors individual cell voltages using the AFE (Analog Front End) hardware comparator. This protection provides faster response than firmware-based COV protection because it operates directly in hardware without firmware intervention.
Unlike the current-based hardware protections (AOCD, AOCC, ASCD), ACOV is a voltage-based protection that monitors cell voltages against a configurable threshold.
ACOV protection triggers when any cell voltage rises above the Settings AFE Over Voltage threshold configured in the AFE hardware registers.
When triggered:
ACOV does NOT have an alert stage - it triggers directly to protection status. This differs from current-based hardware protections which use Trip/Latch Alert/Recovery cycles.
As of firmware v0.03 (BMSFW-11409), ACOV uses threshold-based recovery instead of time-based recovery:
Configuration Note: Configure the Recovery threshold lower than the associated Settings AFE Over Voltage threshold to provide hysteresis and prevent oscillation near the threshold.
