BQ27Z746: maximum allowed current sense resistor

Part Number: BQ27Z746

Tool/software:

Hi team,

My customer want to understand if they want to select 100mohm current sense resistor, is it allowed? What is the risk?

According to DS, the maximum allowed resistor is 20mohm.

Thanks!

  • Hello Jayden,

    If you can refer to the application note below to changing the external Rsns resistor from the outside values.

  • Hi Alan,

    Thanks for your feedback!

    I have couple of more questions about different operation modes, could you help comment them 1 by 1 as well? Many thanks in advance!

    1If the battery is in the SHIP mode and gets inserted into the device (the charger is not plugged into the device), my understanding that the battery may wake up, if the device leakage current (120uA - ?) produces voltage across the battery sense resistor > IWAKE and, if IWAKE is enabled.

    2If the battery is in the SHELF mode and gets inserted into the device (the charger is not plugged into the device), my understanding that the battery will not wake up.

    3In order to wake up the battery from SLEEP mode, the device needs to be powered up or the charger needs to be connected basically the exit from SLEEP is when the battery senses a current in any direction, which is > SleepCurrent.

    4In order to wake up the battery from SHIP’ mode, a command must be sent to the battery or the battery needs to sense a current in any direction, which produces voltage across the sense resistor > IWAKE, if IWAKE is enabled. 

    5In order to wake up the battery from SHELF mode, either a command must be sent to the battery or the battery needs to sense a charge voltage. We do not use the ENAB pin on BQ27Z746. Actually, it needs to be pulled low in the schematic.
