BQ76952: Can BQ76952 operate without MCU (controller)?

Part Number: BQ76952

Hi Team,

My customer considers to use BQ76952 without MCU (controller) for battery protection.
Is it possible?
In other words, can BQ76952 operate in standalone?

Best Regards,
Yaita

Hi,

Yes, BQ76952 can operate standalone, but this requires programming the desired settings into OTP. This thread has some helpful guidance on OTP programming in addition to the information in the TRM: https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1082914/faq-bq76952-common-questions-for-otp-programming-with-the-bq769x2-device-family

Best regards,

Matt
