BQ76940: Internal Diagnostics for ADCs?

Part Number: BQ76940

Hi,

I have a customer inquiring about what internal diagnostics the BQ chip has for the A2D converters. Would you be able to please comment?

Thanks,
Drew

  • Hi Drew,
    The bq76940 does not include diagnostics on the A2D converters. As a check of the voltage ADC the user could switch between internal and external temperature measurement, this would take some time and there is a possibility the reading could be the same. Also the user must be sure the ADC is enabled or subsequent register reads will return the value stored in the register.
