bq34z100 max sim rate value

Matt Palmer

Trying to wrap my head around the sim rate functions of the 34z100. I had a TI apps engineer thru a customer suggest changing max sim rate to 0, to alleviate issues with short cycling producing erroneous gauge readings. What does setting this value to zero do (c/0 is not vald?)

The Max Sim Rate will limit the current used by the IT simulation. If you have it set to C/2 and are using a 1C or 2C discharge rate, then the simulation will probably be off. Setting the parameter to 0 will disable the limit and allow the simulation to use the actual discharge current.

i would suggest adding a line to the slua664 to indicate that a 0 disables the max, its not explicitly listed as such and dividing by zero was not immediately intuitive. In other places where a zero value disables a function it is typically explicitly spelled out in the guide.

Cheers.

We will add it in the next datasheet update.
