BQ40Z50-R2: IATA Support

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2

Tool/software:

Dear TI export,

   Can you explain the main purpose of IATA support? just to save energy? Or there is any other retulations for air shipment?

   As far as i know, only need to keep SOC less than 30% for air shipment.

  • Hello,

    The IATA regulations are the requirements for the shipment of battery packs, where I believe the main regulation is the SOC being less then 30%. I believe their website should be used to reference their entire list of regulations for shipping.

    Regards,

    Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

        two question regarding the IATA shut down mode.

         1. the differences between IATA shut down mode and normal standard shut down mode.

               

         2.how charging wake up battery from IATA shut down mode? only with external power supply? need I2C communitcation or not? 

        

  • Hello,

    the differences between IATA shut down mode and normal standard shut down mode.

    I believe the difference between the two are the thresholds since the standard shutdown mode is expected to occur at a much lower voltage. Also, the IATA Shutdown has more conditions when woken up since the packs may be checked in transport:

    how charging wake up battery from IATA shut down mode? only with external power supply? need I2C communitcation or not? 

    I believe a charge current being passed across the SRP/SRN pins for enough time would allow for wake up.

    Regards,
