bq78350-R1 Discharge, Charge and Precharge FET Tests

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78350-R1

There are a few places in the bq78350-R1 TRD that refer to FET tests. I can’t find anyplace where these tests are explained. Do these status bits indicate that the FETs were turned on with a ManufacturerAccess? If not, what do they indicate?

17.2.41 ManufacturerAccess() 0x0057 ManufacturingStatus

DSG_TEST (Bit 2): Discharge FET Test

1 = Discharge FET test activated

0 = Disabled

CHG_TEST (Bit 1): Charge FET Test

1 = Charge FET test activated

0 = Disabled

PCHG_TEST (Bit 0): Precharge FET Test

1 = Precharge FET test activated

0 = Disabled

17.24 0x16 BatteryStatus()

DSG (Bit 6): Charge FET Test

1 = Battery is discharging or at rest.

0 = Battery is charging.
