Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50-R1, BQSTUDIO, BQ40Z50, BQ2947
Hello team,
I understand that I can use BQ40Z50-R1/R2 in stand alone mode after configuration by bqStudio, correct?
Some questions:
1) after programming the golden image all decisions are done in BQ40Z50 and SMBus is just needed if for monitoring, correct?
2) the BQ40Z50 is powered by the battery pack and always needs to be connected to it, correct?
3) In case the cell voltage reaches an overvolt condition it will be disconnected from the pack by e.g. BQ2947. In that case BQ40Z50 will be completely without power. Will all settings remain or ist it required to re-program it by bqStudio?
All these points end up in the main question if a small µC is required or not.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Hans
