DESCRIPTION
The bq76PL536-Q1 is a stackable three to six series
cell lithium-ion battery pack protector and analog front
end
(AFE)
that
incorporates
a
precision
analog-to-digital converter (ADC); independent cell
voltage and temperature protection; cell balancing,
and a precision 5-V regulator to power user circuitry.
The bq76PL536-Q1 integrates a voltage translation
and precision analog-to-digital converter system to
measure battery cell voltages with high accuracy and
speed.
The
bq76PL536-Q1
provides
full
protection
(secondary protection) for overvoltage, undervoltage,
and overtemperature conditions. When safety
thresholds are exceeded, the bq76PL536-Q1 sets the
FAULT output. No external components are needed
to configure or enable the protection features.
Cell voltage and temperature protection functions are
independent of the ADC system. Programmable
protection thresholds and detection delay times are
stored in Error Check/Correct (ECC) OTP EPROM,
which increases the flexibility and reliability of the
battery management system.
The bq76PL536-Q1 is intended to be used with a
host controller to maximize the functionality of the
battery management system. However, the protection
functions do not require a host controller.
The bq76PL536Q1 can be stacked vertically to
monitor up to 192 cells without additional isolation
components between ICs. A high-speed serial
peripheral interface (SPI) bus operates between each
bq76PL536-Q1 to provide reliable communications
through a high-voltage battery cell stack.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)
The host microcontroller controls cell balancing of individual cells by setting registers (via SPI) which control the
appropriate CBx outputs. These outputs can be turned off via the same control, or automatically by the internal
programmable safety timer. The balancing bypass current is set via an external series resistor and FET.

If ADC_CONTROL[ADC_ON] = 0, add 500 µs to conversion time to allow ADC subsystem to stabilize. This is self-timed by the part.
Additional 50 ms (POR) is required before first conversion after a) initial cell connection; or b) VBAT falls below VPOR.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION (ADC)
General Features
The integrated 14-bit (unsigned) high-speed successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter
uses an integrated band-gap reference voltage (VREF) for the cell and brick measurements. The ADC has a
front-end multiplexer for nine inputs – six cells, two temperature sensors, and one general-purpose analog input
(GPAI). The GPAI input can further be multiplexed to measure the brick voltage between the BATx pin and VC0
or the voltage between the GPAI+ and GPAI– pins.
The ADC and reference are factory trimmed to compensate for gain, offset, and temperature-induced errors for
all inputs. The measurement result is not allowed to roll over due to offset error at the top and bottom of the
range, i.e., a reading near zero does not underflow to 0x03ff due to offset error, and vice-versa.
The converter returns 14 valid unsigned magnitude bits in the following format:
<00xxxxxx xxxxxxxx>
Each word is returned in big-endian format in a register pair consisting of two adjacent 8-bit registers. The MSB
of the word is located in the lower-address register of the pair, i.e., data for cell 1 is returned in registers 0x03
and 0x04 as 00xxxxxx xxxxxxxxb.

3 to 6 Series Cell Configuration
When fewer than 6 cells are used, the most-positive cell voltage of the series string should be connected to the
BAT1/BAT2 pins, through the RC input network shown in the Reference Schematic section. Unused VCx inputs
should be connected to the next VCx input down until an input connected to a cell is reached – i.e., in a four cell
stack, VC6 connects to VC5, which connects to VC4.
The internal multiplexer control can be set to scan only the inputs which are connected to cells, thereby speeding
up conversions slightly. The multiplexer is controlled by the ADC_CONTROL[CN2:0] bits.

Cell Voltage Measurements
Converting the returned cell measurement value to a dc voltage (in mV) is done using the following formula (all
values are in decimal).
mV = (REGMSB × 256 + REGLSB) × 6250 / 16383
Example:
Cell_1 == 3.35 V (3350 mV);
After conversion, REG_03 == 0x22; REG_04 == 0x4d
0x22 × 0x100 + 0x4d = 0x224d (8781.)
8781 × 6250 / 16,383 = 3349.89 mV ≈ 3.35 V
GPAI or VBAT Measurements
The bq76PL536-Q1 features a differential input to the ADC from two external pins, GPAI+ and GPAI–. The ADC
GPAI result register can be configured (via the FUNCTION_CONFIG[GPAI_SRC] to provide a measurement of
the voltage on these two pins, or of the brick voltage present between the BATx pins and VC0.
In the bq76PL536-Q1 device, the VBAT measurement is taken from the BATx pin to the VC0 pin, and is a
separate input to the ADC mux. Because this is a separate input to the ADC, certain common system faults,
such as a broken cell wire, can be easily detected using the bq76PL536-Q1 and simple firmware techniques.
Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated
15
bq76PL536-Q1
SLUSAB1 – MAY 2011
www.ti.com
The GPAI measurement can be configured to use one of two references via FUNCTION_CONFIG[GPAI_REF].
Either the internal bandgap (VREF) or REG50 can be selected. When REG50 is selected, the ADC returns a ratio
of the voltage at the inputs and REG50, removing the need for compensation of the REG50 voltage accuracy or
drift when used as a source to excite the sensor. When the device is configured to measure VBAT
(FUNCTION_CONFIG[GPAI_SRC] = 1), the device selects VREF automatically and ignores the
FUNCTION_CONFIG[GPAI_REF] setting.
Converting GPAI Result to Voltage
To convert the returned GPAI measurement value to a voltage using the internal band-gap reference
(FUNCTION_CONFIG[GPAI_REF] = 1), the following formula is used.
mV = (REGMSB × 256 + REGLSB) × 2500 / 16,383
FUNCTION_CONFIG[] = 0100 xxxxb
Example:
The voltage connected to the GPAI inputs == 1.25 V;
After conversion, REG_01 == 0x20; REG_02 == 0x00
0x20 × 0x100 + 0x00 = 0x2000 (8192.)
8192 × 2500 / 16,383 = 1250 mV
Converting VBAT Result to Voltage
To convert the returned VBAT measurement value to a voltage, the following formula is used.
V = (REGMSB × 256 + REGLSB) × 33.333 / 214 (33.333 ≈ 6.25 / 0.1875)
FUNCTION_CONFIG[] = 0101 xxxxb
Example:
The sum of the series cells connected to VC6–VC0 == 20.295 V;
After conversion, REG_01 == 0x26; REG_02 == 0xf7
0x26 × 0x100 + 0xf7 = 0x26f7 (9975.)
9975 × 33.333 / 16,383 = 20.295 V
Temperature Measurement
The bq76PL536-Q1 can measure the voltage TS1+, TS1– and TS2+, TS2– differential inputs using the ADC.
These inputs are typically driven by an external thermistor/resistor divider network. The TSn inputs use the
REG50 output divided down and internally connected as the ADC reference during conversions. This produces a
ratiometric result and eliminates the need for compensation or correction of the REG50 voltage drift when used
to drive the temperature sensors. The REG50 reference allows an approximate 2.5-V full-scale input at the TSn
inputs. The final reading is limited between 0 and 16,383, corresponding to an external ratio of 0 to 0.5.
Two control bits are required for the ADC to convert the TSn input voltages successfully. ADC_CONTROL[TSn]
is set to cause the ADC to convert the TSn channel on the next requested conversion cycle. IO_CONTROL[TSn]
is set to cause the FET switch connecting the TSn– input to VSS to close, completing the circuit of the voltage
divider. The IO_CONTROL[] bits should only be set as needed to conserve power; at high temperatures,
thermistor excitation current may be relatively high.
External Temperature Sensor Support (TS1+, TS1– and TS2+, TS2–)
The device is intended for use with a nominal 10 kΩ at 25ºC NTC external thermistor (AT103 equivalent) such as
the Panasonic ERT-J1VG103FA, a 1% device. A suitable external resistor-capacitor network should be
connected to position the response of the thermistor within the range of interest. This is typically RT= 1.47 kΩ
and RB = 1.82 kΩ (1%) as shown in Figure 5. A parallel bypass capacitor in the range 1 nF to 47 nF placed
across the thermistor should be added to reduce noise coupled into the measurement system. The response
time delay created by this network should be considered when enabling the respective TS input prior to
conversion and setting the OT delay timer. See Figure 5 for details.

Converting TSn Result to Voltage (Ratio)
To convert the returned TSn measurement value to a ratio, RTS = VTS:REG50, the following formulas are used.
The setting FUNCTION_CONFIG[] = 0100 xxxxb is assumed. Note that the offset and gain correction are slightly
different for each channel.

TS1: RTS1 = ((TEMPERATURE1_H × 256 + TEMPERATURE1_L) + 2) / 33,046
TS2: RTS2 = ((TEMPERATURE2_H × 256 + TEMPERATURE2_L) + 9) / 33,068
Example:
The voltage connected to the TS1 inputs (TS1+ – TS1–) == 0.661 V; VREG50 ≈ 5 V nominal
After conversion, REGMSB == 0x11; REGLSB == 0x16
ACTUAL_COUNT = 0x11 × 0x100 + 0x16 = 0x1116 (4374.)
(4374 + 2) / 33,046 = 0.1324 (ratio of TSn inputs to REG50)
0.1324 × REG50 = 0.662 V
ADC Band-Gap Voltage Reference
The ADC and protection subsystems use separate and independent internal voltage references. The ADC
bandgap (VREF) is nominally 2.5 V. The reference is temperature-compensated and stable.
The internal reference is brought out to the VREF pin for bypassing. A high quality 10-μF capacitor should be
connected between the VREF and AGND pins, in very close physical proximity to the device pins, using short
track lengths to minimize the effects of track inductance on signal quality. The AGND pin should be connected to
VSS. Device VSS connections should be brought to a single point close to the IC to minimize layout-induced
errors. The device tab should also be connected to this point, and is a convenient common VSS location. The
internal VREF should not be used externally to the device by user circuits.
Conversion Control
Convert Start
Two methods are available to start a conversion cycle. The CONV_H pin may be asserted, or firmware may set
the CONVERT_CTRL[CONV] bit.

Hardware Start
A single interface pin (CONV_H) is used for conversion-start control by the host. A conversion cycle is started by
a hardware signal when CONV_H is transitioned low-to-high by the host. The host should hold this state until the
conversion cycle is complete to avoid erroneous edges causing a conversion start when the present conversion
is not complete. The signal is simultaneously sent to the higher device in the stack by the assertion of the
CONV_N signal. The bq76PL536-Q1 automatically sequences through the series of measurements enabled via
the ADC_CONTROL[] register after a convert-start signal is received from either the register bit or the hardware
pin.
If the CONV_H pin is used in the design, it must be maintained in a default low state (~0 V) to allow use of the
ADC_CONVERT[CONV] bit to trigger ADC conversions. If the CONV pin is kept high, the
ADC_CONVERT[CONV] bit does not function, and device current consumption is increased by the signaling
current, ~900 µA. If the CONV_H pin is not used by the user’s design, the pin may be left floating; the internal
current sink to VSS maintains proper bias.
Firmware Start
The CONVERT_CTRL[CONV] bit is also used to initiate a conversion by writing a 1 to the bit. It is automatically
reset at the end of a conversion cycle. The bit may only be written to 1; the IC always resets it to 0. The
BROADCAST form of packet is recommended to start all device conversions simultaneously.
Designer Note: The external CONV_H (CONV_S) pin must be held in the de-asserted (=0) state to allow the
CONV register bit to initiate conversions. An internal pulldown is provided on the pin to maintain this state.
Data Ready
The bq76PL536-Q1 signals that data is ready when the last conversion data has been stored to the associated
data result register by asserting the DRDY_S pin (DRDY_H if HOST = 0) if the DRDY_N pin is also asserted.
DRDY_S (DRDY_H) signals are cleared on the next rising edge of CONV_H.
The DEVICE_STATUS[DRDY] bit indicates the state of the DRDY_N pin.
Designer Note: The DRDY_S pins remain asserted during SLEEP, leading to extra current consumption. As
a workaround, user designs should read the last result of a conversion before placing the device in SLEEP.
ADC Channel Selection
The ADC_CONTROL register can be configured as follows:

Conversion Time Control
The ADC can be configured to adjust the conversion time to meet system requirements. The default conversion
time is approximately 3 μs (with ADC pre-configured to be ON by setting the ADC_CONTROL[ADC_ON] bit).
This can be adjusted to approximately 3, 6, 12, or 24 μs/channel by changing the value in the
FUNCTION_CONFIG[] register. The 6-µs setting (FUNCTION_CONFIG[ADCT1:0] = 01b) is recommended for
best results over temperature.

Automatic vs Manual Control
The ADC_CONTROL[ADC_ON] bit controls powering up the ADC section and the main bandgap reference. If
the bit is set to 1, the internal circuits are powered on, and current consumption by the part increases.
Conversions begin immediately on command. The host CPU should wait >500 µs before initiating the first
conversion after setting this bit.
If the ADC_ON bit is false, an additional 500 µs is required to stabilize the reference before conversions begin. In
this AUTOMATIC mode, power consumption is greatly reduced. Automatic mode is only available for the 3-µs
conversion timing. When the 6-, 12-, or 24-µs timing is selected, manual control of the ADC_ON bit must be used
to avoid locking up the internal state machine, which then requires a BROADCAST_RESET command be sent or
a POR to correct.
If the sampling interval (time between conversions) used is less than ~10 ms, manual mode should be selected
to avoid shifting the voltage reference, leading to inaccuracy in the measurements.
ADC Application Notes
Anti-Aliasing Filter
An anti-aliasing filter is required for each VCn input VC6–VC2, consisting of a 1-kΩ, 1% series resistor and
100-nF capacitor. The same filter is used, but with a 1-µF capacitor for the VC1 and VC0 sections. Good-quality
components should be used. A 1% resistor is recommended, because the resistor creates a small error by
forming a voltage divider with the input impedance of the part. The part is factory-trimmed to compensate for the
error introduced by the filter.
Using the 6-µs Conversion Setting
1. The conversion time is adjusted from 3 µs/channel to 6 µs/channel. This extends the total time to convert all
cell voltages from ≈21 µs (6 × 3 µs + 3 µs) to ≈ 42 µs (6 × 6 µs + 6 µs). To convert all cell voltages, plus the
brick voltage, plus the two temperature inputs requires ≈ 60 µs (9 × 6 µs + 6 µs).
2. The ADC_CTRL[ADC_ON] bit is set to 1 for conversions. The ADC_CTRL[] register is located at address
0x30.
The conversion time is controlled by the FUNCTION_CONFIG[] register at address 0x40. Two bits, ADCT0,
ADCT1 set the time.

A design issue in the device requires that any time the ADCT[1:0] bits are not equal to 0, the ADC_ON bit must
be set to 1 before initiating a conversion cycle. TI recommends setting the bit to 1 during battery operations when
conversions are to be made (it may be left on). The bit can be turned off when conversions are not active, i.e.,
during the key-off time. When the bit is turned on, the hardware enforces a 500-µs ±5% wait before conversions
are permitted. User firmware should wait the minimum ≈500 µs before requesting a conversion start after
ADC_ON = 1.

NOTE
If a conversion cycle is inadvertedly started while (ADCT[1:0] ≠ 0 <AND> ADC_ON = 0),
the device appears to lock up and stop working. To correct this behavior, send a device
RESET command (write 0xa5 to register 0x3c) followed by any customer-specific register
initialization. The RESET command also resets the device address to 0x00, making it
necessary to reassign addresses to all devices in the stack.
The bit may be turned on and left on, or dynamically manipulated at each conversion depending on user
firmware requirements.
TI recommends programming the OTP register to set the conversion rate permanently. This procedure is
described in the data sheet for the device. A typical value for FUNCTION_CONFIG[] register 0x40 is 0x50. See
the FUNCTION_CONFIG REGISTER (0x40) section for further details of the other bit functions.
Procedure:
OTP EPROM is Pre-programmed to 6 µs (0x40 = 0101 xx00b):
1. Prior to any conversion:
Write ADC_CONFIG[ADC_ON] = 1 (0x30 = 01xx xxxxb)
Note: The typical setting used to convert all inputs is ADC_CONTROL[] = 0111 1101b.
Alternate Method - Use Shadow RAM Feature (EPROM 0x40 Programmed Value is Don’t Care):
The shadow RAM feature allows temporarily overwriting EPROM contents. At RESET, Group3 RAM registers are
loaded from OTP EPROM. The device always uses the contents of the RAM register internally to control the
device. The RAM register may be subsequently overwritten with a new value to modify the device defaults
programmed in EPROM. The new value is valid until the next device RESET. This example assumes that all
inputs are converted.
1. Setup for 6-µs/ch conversion time:
Write SHDW_CTRL[] = 0x35 (register 0x3a = 0x35) to enable the write to FUNCTION_CONFIG[].
Immediately followed by:
Write FUNCTION_CONFIG[] = 0x50 (register 0x40 = 0x50)
2. Prior to any conversion:
Write ADC_CTRL[] = 0x7d (register 0x30 = 0x7d)
Wait >1 ms before converting after setting ADC_ON = 1 in the previous step.
3. Converting:
Conversions are now initiated normally, using the CONV_H pin or the CONVERT[CONV] register bit.
Note: Power may be significantly reduced by setting the bit ADC_ON = 0.
Secondary Protection
The bq76PL536-Q1 integrates dedicated overvoltage and undervoltage fault detection for each cell and two
overtemperature fault detection inputs for each device. The protection circuits use a separate band-gap reference
from the ADC system and operate independently. The protector also uses separate I/O pins from the main
communications bus, and therefore is capable of signaling faults in hardware without intervention from the host
CPU.
Protector Functionality
When a fault state is detected, the respective fault flag in the FAULT_STATUS[] or ALERT_STATUS[] registers
is set. All flags in the FAULT and ALERT registers are then ORed into the DEVICE_STATUS[] FAULT and
ALERT bits. The FAULT and ALERT bits in DEVICE_STATUS[] in turn cause the hardware FAULT_S or
ALERT_S pin to be set. The bits in DEVICE_STATUS[] and the hardware pins are latched until reset by the host
via SPI command, ensuring that the host CPU does not miss an event.
20

bq76PL536-Q1
SLUSAB1 – MAY 2011
www.ti.com
A separate timer is provided for each fault source (cell overvoltage, cell undervoltage, overtemperature) to
prevent false alarms. Each timer is programmable from 100 µs to more than 3 s. The timers may also be
disabled, which causes fault conditions to be sensed immediately and not latched.
The clearing of the FAULT or ALERT flag (and pin) occurs when the respective flag is written to a 1, which also
restarts the respective fault timer. This also clears the FAULT_S (_H) or ALERT_S (_H) pin. If the actual fault
remains present, the FAULT (ALERT) pin is again asserted at the expiration of the timer. This cycle repeats until
the cause of the fault is removed.
On exit from the SLEEP state, the COV, CUV, and OT fault comparators are disabled for approximately 200 µs
to allow internal circuitry to stabilize and prevent false error condition detection.
Using the Protector Functions With 3-5 Cells
The OV/UV condition can be ignored for unused channels by setting the FUNCTION_CONFIG[CNx] bits to the
maximum number of cells connected to the device. If fewer than 6 cells are configured, the corresponding OV/UV
faults are ignored. For example, if the FUNCTION_CONFIG[] bits are set to xxxx 1000, then the OV/UV
comparators are disabled for cells 5 and 6. Correct setting of this register prevents spurious false alarms.
Cell Overvoltage Fault Detection (COV)
When the voltage across a cell exceeds the programmed COV threshold for a period of time greater than set in
the COV timer (COVT), the COV_FAULT[] flag for that cell is set. The bits in COV_FAULT[] are then ORed into
the FAULT[COV] flag, which is then ORed into the DEVICE_STATUS[FAULT] flag, which causes the FAULT_S
(_H) pin also to be asserted. The COV flag is latched unless COVT is programmed to 0, in which case the flag
follows the fault condition. Care should be taken when using this setting to avoid chatter of the fault status. To
reset the FAULT flag, first remove the source of the fault (i.e., the overvoltage condition) and then write a 1 to
FAULT[COV], followed by a 0 to FAULT[COV].
The voltage trip point is set in the CONFIG_COV register. Set points are spaced every 50 mV. Hysteresis is
provided to avoid chatter of the fault sensing. The filter delay time is set in the CONFIG_COVT[] register to
prevent false alarms. A start-up deglitch circuit is applied to the timers to prevent false triggering. The deglitch
time is 0–50 µs, and introduces a small error in the timing for short times. For both COVT and CUVT, this can
cause an error greater than the 10% maximum specified for delays <500 µs.

Cell Undervoltage Fault Detection (CUV)
Cell undervoltage detection operates in a similar manner to the COV protection. When the voltage across a cell
falls below the programmed CUV threshold (CONFIG_CUV[]) for a period of time greater than CUVT
(CONFIG_CUVT[]), the CUV_FAULT[] flag for that cell is set. The bits in CUV_FAULT[] are then ORed into the
FAULT[CUV] flag, which is then ORed into the DEVICE_STATUS[FAULT] flag, which causes the FAULT_S (_H)
pin also to be asserted. The CUV flag is latched unless CUVT is programmed to 0, in which case the flag follows
the fault condition. Care should be taken when using this setting to avoid chatter of the fault status. To reset the
FAULT flag, first remove the source of the fault (i.e., the overvoltage condition) and then write a 1 to
FAULT[CUV], followed by a 0 to FAULT[CUV].
Overtemperature Detection
When the temperature input TS1 or TS2 exceeds the programmed OT1 or OT2 threshold (CONFIG_OT[]) for a
period of time greater than OTT (CONFIG_OTT[]) the ALERT_STATUS[OT1, OT2] flag is set. The ALERT[] flags
are then ORed into the DEVICE_STATUS[ALERT] flag, and the ALERT_S (_H) pin is also asserted. The OT flag
is latched unless OTT is programmed to 0, in which case the flag follows the fault condition. Care should be
taken when using this setting to avoid chatter of the fault status. To reset the FAULT flag, first remove the source
of the alert (i.e., the overtemperature condition) and then write a 1 to ALERT[OTn], followed by a 0 to
FAULT[OTn].

Figure 7. Simplified Overtemperature Detection Schematic
As shown in the drawing above, the OT thresholds are detectable in 11 steps representing approximately 5°C
divisions when a thermistor and gain/offset setting resistors are chosen using the formula in the External
Temperature Sensor Support (TS1+, TS1– and TS2+, TS2–) section. A DISABLED setting is also available. This
results in an adjustment range from approximately 40°C to 90°C, but the range center can be moved by
modifying the RT value. The steps are spaced in a non-linear fashion to correspond to typical thermistor
response curves. Typical accuracy of a few degrees C or better can be achieved (with no additional calibration
requirements) by careful selection of the thermistor and resistors.
Each input sensor can be adjusted independently via separate registers CONFIG_OT1[] and CONFIG_OT2[].
The two temperature setpoints share a common filter delay set in the CONFIG_OTT[] register. A setting of 0 in
the CONFIG_OTT[] register causes the fault sensing to be both instantaneous and not latched. All other settings
provide a latched ALERT state.

Ratiometric Sensing
The OT protector circuits use ratiometric inputs to sense fault conditions. The REG50 output is applied internally
to the divider which forms the reference voltages used by the comparator circuit. It is also used externally as the
excitation source for the temperature sensor. This allows the REG50 output to vary over time or temperature
(within data-sheet limits) and have virtually no effect on the correct operation of the circuit. Any change seen by
the sensor is also seen by the divider, and therefore, changes proportionally. Although it is valid to represent the
trip setpoints as voltages if you assume that REG50 is at exactly 5 V, in practice, this is not the case. In the chart
included in the next section, the correct ratios [RB/(RB + RT + RTH)] are shown, along with the equivalent voltage
points when REG50 is assumed to be 5 V.

Thermistor Power
To minimize power consumption, the thermistors are not powered ON by default. Two bits are provided in
IO_CONTROL[] to control powering the thermistors, TS1 and TS2. The TSn– input is only connected to VSS
when the corresponding bit is set. The user firmware must set these bits to 1 to enable both temperature
measurement and the secondary protector functions. When the thermistor functions are not in use, the bits may
be programmed to 0 to remove current through the thermistor circuits.
Thermistor Input Conditioning
A filter capacitor is recommended to minimize noise in to the ADC and protector. The designer should insure that
the filter capacitor has sufficient time to charge before reading the thermistors. The CONFIG_OTT[] value should
also be set to >5t, the time delay introduced by the RC network comprising CF, RTH, RT, and RB, to avoid false
triggering of the PROTECTOR function and ALERT signal when the TS1 and/or TS2 bits are set to 1 and the
inputs enabled.
On exit from the SLEEP state, the OT fault comparators are disabled for approximately 200 µs to allow internal
circuitry to stabilize and prevent false error-condition detection.
Fault and Alert Behavior
When the FAULT_N pin is asserted by the next higher bq76PL536-Q1 in the stack, then the FAULT_S is also
asserted, thereby passing the signal down the array of stacked devices if they are present. FAULT_N should
always be connected to the FAULT_S of the next higher device in the stack. If no higher device exists, it should
be tied to VBAT of this bq76PL536-Q1, either directly or via a pullup resistor ~10 kΩ to 1 MΩ. The FAULT_x pins
are active-high – current flows when asserted. The ALERT_x pins behave in a similar manner. If the FAULT_N
pin of the base device (HSEL = 0) becomes asserted, it asserts its FAULT_H signal to the host microcontroller.
This signal chain may be used to create an interrupt to the CPU, or drive other compatible logic or I/O directly.

Fault Recovery Procedure
When any error flag in DEVICE_STATUS[], FAULT_STATUS[], or ALERT_STATUS[] is set and latched, the
state can only be cleared by host communication via SPI. Writing to the respective FAULT_STATUS or
ALERT_STATUS register bit with a 1 clears the latch for that bit. The exceptions are the two FORCE bits, which
are cleared by writing a 0 to the bit.
The FAULT_STATUS[] and ALERT_STATUS[] register bits are read-only, with the exception of the FORCE bit,
which may be directly written to either a 1 or 0.
Secondary Protector Built-In Self-Test Features
The secondary protector functions have built-in test for verifying the connections through the signal chain of ICs
in the stack back to the host CPU. This verifies the wiring, connections, and signal path through the ICs by
forcing a current through the signal path.
To implement this feature, host firmware should set the FAULT[FORCE] or ALERT[FORCE] bit in the top-most
device in the stack. The device asserts the associated pin on the South interface, and it propagates down the
stack, back to the base device. The base device in turn asserts the FAULT_H (ALERT_H) pin to the host,
allowing the host to check for the received signal and thereby verify correct operation.
CELL BALANCING
The bq76PL536-Q1 has six dedicated outputs (CB1…CB6) that can be used to control external N-FETs as part
of a cell balancing system. The implementation of appropriate algorithms is controlled by the system host. The
CB_CTRL[CBAL1–6] bits control the state of each of the outputs. The outputs are copied from the bit state of the
CB_CTRL register, i.e., a 1 in this register activates the external balance FET by placing a high on the
associated pin.
The CBx pins switch between approximately the positive and negative voltages of the cell across which the
external FET is connected. This allows the use of a small, low-cost N-FET in series with a power resistor to
provide cell balancing,.

Cell Balance Control Safety Timer
The CBx outputs are cleared when the internal safety timer expires. The internal safety timer (CB_TIME) value is
programmed in units of seconds or minutes (range set by CB_CTRL bit 7) with an accuracy of ±10%.
The timer begins when any CB_CTRL bit changes from 0 to 1. The timer is reset if all CB_CTRL bits are
modified by the host from 1 to 0, or by expiration of the timing period. The timing begins counting the
programmed period from start each time the CB_CTRL[] register is programmed from a zero to a non-zero value
in the lower six bits. In example, if the CB_TIME[] is set for 30 s, then one or more bits are set in the CB_CTRL[]
register to balance the corresponding cells; then after 10 s the user firmware sets CB_CTRL[] to 0x00, takes a
measurement, then reprograms CB_CTRL[] with the same or new bit pattern, the timer begins counting 30 s
again before expiring and disabling balancing. This restart occurs each time the CB_CTRL bits are set to a
non-zero value. If this is done at a greater rate than the balancing period for which timer CB_TIME[] is set,
balancing is effectively never disabled – until the timer is either allowed to expire without changing the
CB_CTRL[] register to a non-zero value, or the CB_CTRL[] register is set to zero by the user firmware. If the
CB_CTRL[] register is not manipulated from zero to non-zero while the timer is running, the timer expires as
expected. Alterations of the value from a non-zero to a different non-zero value do not restart the timer (i.e., from
0x02 to 0x03, etc).
While the timer is running, the host may set or reset any bit in the CB_CTRL[] register at any time, and the CBx
output follows the bit.
The host may re-program the timer at any time. The timer must always be programmed to allow the CBx outputs
to be asserted. While the timer is non-zero, the CB_CTRL[] settings are reflected at the outputs.
During periods when the timer is actively running (not expired), then DEVICE_STATUS[CBT] is set.
OTHER FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Internal Voltage Regulators
The bq76PL536-Q1 derives power from the BAT pin using several internal low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators.
There are separate LDOs for internal analog circuits (5 V at LDOA), digital circuits (5 V at LDOD1 and LDOD2),
and external, user circuits (5 V at REG50). The BAT pin should be connected to the most-positive cell input from
cell 3, 4, 5, or 6, depending on the number of cells connected. Locate filter capacitors as close to the IC as
possible. The internal LDOs and internal VREF should not be used to power external circuitry, with the exception
that LDODx should be used to source power to any external pullup resistors.
Internal 5-V Analog Supply
The internal analog supply should be bypassed at the LDOA pin with a good-quality, low-ESR, 2.2-μF ceramic
capacitor.
Internal 5-V Digital Supply
The internal digital supply should be bypassed at the LDOD1(2) pin with a good-quality, low-ESR, 2.2-μF ceramic
capacitor. The two pins are connected internally and provided to enhance single-pin failure-mode fault tolerance.
They should also be connected together externally.
Designer Note: Because the LDODx inputs are pulled briefly to ~7 V during programming, the LDODx pins
should not be used as sources for pullups to 5-V digital pins, such as HSEL and SPI(bus)_H connected pins.
Use VREG50 instead, unless all programming is completed prior to mounting on the application PCB, in
which case LDODx is a good choice.
Low-Dropout Regulator (REG50)
The bq76PL536-Q1 has a low-dropout (LDO) regulator provided to power the thermistors and other external
circuitry. The input for this regulator is VBAT. The output of REG50 is typically 5 V. A minimum 2.2-μF capacitor is
required for stable operation. The output is internally current-limited. The output is reduced to near zero if excess
current is drawn, causing die temperatures to rise to unacceptable levels.
The 2.2-µF output capacitor is required whether REG50 is used in the design or not.

bq76PL536-Q1
SLUSAB1 – MAY 2011
www.ti.com
REG50 is disabled in SLEEP mode, and may be turned off under thermal-shutdown conditions, and therefore
should not be used as a pullup source for terminating device pins where required.
Auxiliary Power Output (AUX)
The bq76PL536-Q1 provides an approximately 1-mA auxiliary power output that is controlled via
IO_CONTROL[AUX]. This output is taken directly from REG50. The current drawn from this pin must be included
in the REG50 current-limit budget by the designer.
Undervoltage Lockout and Power-On Reset
The device incorporates two comparators to detect low VBAT conditions. The first detects low voltage where some
device digital operations are still available. The second, (POR) detects a voltage below which device operation is
not ensured.
UVLO
When the UVLO threshold voltage is sensed for a period ≥ UVLODELAY, the device is no longer able to make
accurate analog measurements and conversions. The ADC, cell-balancing and fault-detection circuitry are
disabled. The digital circuitry, including host CPU and vertical communications between ICs, is fully functional.
Register contents are preserved with the exception that CB_CTRL is set to 0, and the UVLO bit is set in
DEVICE_STATUS[].
Power-On Reset (POR)
When the POR voltage threshold or lower is sensed for a period ≥ UVLODELAY, the device is no longer able to
function reliably. The device is disabled, including all fault-detection circuitry, host SPI communications, vertical
communications, etc.
After the voltage rises above the hysteresis limit longer than the delay time, the device exits the reset state, with
all registers set to default conditions. The FAULT_STATUS[POR] bit is set and latched until reset by the host.
The device no longer has a valid address (DEVICE_ADDRESS[AR] = 0, ADDRESS_CONTROL[] = 0). The
device should be reprogrammed with a valid address, and any registers re-written if non-default values are
desired.
Reset Command
The bq76PL536-Q1 can also be reset by writing the reset code (0xa5) to the RESET register. All devices
respond to a broadcast RESET command regardless of their current assigned address. The result is identical to
a POR with the exception that the normal POR period is reduced to several hundred microseconds.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
The bq76PL536-Q1 contains an integrated thermal shutdown circuit whose sensor is located near the REG50
LDO and has a threshold of TSD. When triggered, the REG50 regulator reduces its output voltage to zero, and
the ADC is turned off to conserve power. The thermal shutdown circuit has a built-in hysteresis that delays
recovery until the die has cooled slightly. When the thermal shutdown is active, the DEVICE_STATUS[TSD] bit is
set. The IO_CONTROL[SLEEP] and ALERT[SLEEP] bits also become set to reduce power consumption.
WARNING
The secondary protector settings are DISABLED in the TSD state.
CAUTION
Temperature measurement and monitoring do not function due to loss of power if the
thermistors are powered from the REG50 or AUX pins and TSD occurs.
Protection-dependent schemes implemented by the designer which depend on the
REG50 voltage also may not function as a result of loss of the REG50 output.

GPIO
The bq76PL536-Q1 includes a general-purpose input/output pin controlled by the IO_CONTROL[GPIO_OUT] bit.
The state of this bit is reflected on the pin. To use the pin as an input, program GPIO_OUT to a 1, and then read
the IO_CONTROL[GPIO_IN] bit. A pullup (10 kΩ–1 MΩ, typ.) is required on this pin if used as an input. If the
pullup is not included in the design, system firmware must program a 0 in IO_CONTROL[GPIO_OUT] to prevent
excess current draw from the floating input. Use of a pullup is recommended in all designs to prevent an
unintentional increase in current draw.
SLEEP Functionality
The bq76PL536-Q1 provides the host a mechanism to put the part into a low-power sleep state by setting the
IO_CONTROL[SLEEP] bit. When this bit is set/reset, the following actions occur:
Sleep State Entry (bit set)
If a conversion is in progress, the device waits for it to complete, then sets DRDY true (high).
The device sets the ALERT_STATUS[SLEEP] bit, which in turn causes the ALERT pin to be asserted.
The device gates off all other sources of FAULT or ALERT except ALERT[SLEEP]. The existing state of the
FAULT and ALERT registers is preserved. The host should service and reset the ALERT generated by the
SLEEP bit being set to minimize SLEEP state current draw by writing a 1 to ALERT[SLEEP] followed by a 0 to
ALERT[SLEEP]. The ALERT North-South signal chain can draw up to ~1 mA of current when active, so this
ALERT source should be cleared prior to the host entering the SLEEP state of its own. This signaling is provided
to notify the host that the unmonitored/unprotected state is being entered.
The REG50 LDO is shut down and the output is allowed to float. The ADC, its reference, and clocks are
disabled. The COV, CUV, and OT circuits are disabled, and their band-gap reference shut off. Note that this
effectively removes protection and monitoring from the cells; the designer should take the necessary
design steps and verifications to ensure the cells cannot be put into an unsafe condition by other parts
of the system or usage characteristics.
IO_CONTROL[TS1(2)] bits are not modified. The host must also set these bits to zero to minimize current draw
of the thermistors themselves.
SPI communications are preserved; all registers may be read or written.
Sleep State Exit (Bit Reset)
VREG50 operation is restored.
COV, CUV, OT circuits are re-enabled.
The ADC circuitry returns to its former state. Note that there is a warm-up delay associated with the ADC enable,
the same delay as specified for enabling from a cold start.
The FAULT and ALERT registers are restored to their pre-SLEEP state. If a FAULT or ALERT condition was
present prior to SLEEP, the FAULT or ALERT pin is immediately asserted.
IO_CONTROL[TS1(2)] should be set by the host if the OT function or temperature measurement functions are
desired.
COMMUNICATIONS
SPI Communications – Device to Host
Device-to-host (D2H) mode is provided on the SPI interface pins for connection to a local host microcontroller,
logic, etc. D2H communications operate in voltage mode as a standard SPI interface for ease of connection to
the outside world from the bq76PL536-Q1 device. Standard TTL-compatible logic levels are presented. All
relevant SPI timing and performance parameters are met by this interface.
The host interface operates in SPI mode 1, where CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 1. The SPI clock is normally low; data
changes on rising edges, and is sampled on the falling edge. All transfers are MSB-first.
Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated

bq76PL536-Q1
SLUSAB1 – MAY 2011
www.ti.com
The pins of the base IC (only) in a stack should have the SCLK_H and SDI_H pins terminated with pullups to
minimize current draw of the part if the host ever enters a state where the pins are not driven, i.e., held in the
high-impedance state by the host. In non-base devices, the _H pins are forced to be all outputs driven low when
the HSEL pin is high. In non-base devices, all _H pins should remain unconnected.
The CS_H has a pullup resistor of approximately 100 kΩ. SDO_H is a 3-state output and is terminated with a
weak pullup.
Designer Note: When VBAT is at or below the UVLO trip point voltage, the internal LDO which supplies the
xxxx_H host SPI communications pins (VLODx) begins to fall out of regulation. The output high voltage on
the xxxx_H pins falls off with the LDO voltage in an approximately linear manner until at the POR voltage trip
point it is reduced to approximately 3.5 V. This action is not tested in production.
Application Notes on the Host SPI Interface Pin States
The CS_H pin is active-low. The host asserts the pin to a logic zero to initiate communications. The CS pin
should remain low until the end of the current packet. When the CS_H pin is asserted, the SPI receiver and
interface of the device are reset and resynchronized. This action ensures that a slave device that has lost
synchronization during a previous transmission or as the result of noise on the bus does not remain permanently
hung. CS_H must be driven false (high) between packets; see AC Timing Characteristics for timing details.
Device-to-Device Vertical Bus (VBUS) Interface
Device-to-device (D2D) communications makes use of a unique, current-mode interface which provides
common-mode voltage isolation between successive bq76PL536-Q1s. This vertical bus (VBUS) is found on the
_N and corresponding _S pins. It provides high-speed I/O for both the SPI bus and the direct I/O pins CONV and
DRDY. The current-mode interface minimizes the effects of wiring capacitance on the interface speed.
The _S (south-facing) pins connect to the next-lower device (operating at a lower potential) in the stack of
bq76PL536-Q1s. The _N (North facing) pins connect to the next-higher device. The pins cannot be swapped; _S
always points South, and _N always point North. The _S and _N pins are interconnected to the pin with the
same name, but opposite suffix. All pins operate within the voltages present at the BAT and VSS pins. Use
caution; these pins may be several hundred volts above system ground, depending on their position in
the stack.
Designer Note: North (_N) pins of the top, most-positive device in the stack should be connected to the
BAT1(2) pins of the device for correct operation of the string. South (_S) pins of the lowest, most-negative
device in the stack should be connected to VSS of the device.
The maximum SCLK frequency is limited by the number of devices in the vertical stack and other factors. Each
device imposes an approximately 30-ns delay on the round trip communications speed, i.e., from SCLK rising (an
input to all devices) to the SDO pin transitioning requires ~30 ns per device. The designer must add to this the
delay caused by the PCB trace (in turn determined by the material and layout), any connectors in series with the
connection, and any other wiring or cabling between devices in the system. To maximize speed, these other
system components should be carefully selected to minimize delays and other detrimental effects on signal
quality. Wiring and connectors should receive special attention to their transmission line characteristics.
Other factors which should be considered are clock duty cycle, clock jitter, temperature effects on clock and
system components, user-selected drive level for the level-shift interface, and desired design margin.
The VBUS SPI interface is placed in a low-power mode when CS_H is not asserted on the base device.
The CS_N/S pins are asserted by a logic high on the vertical interface bus (logically inverted from CS_H). This
creates a default VBUS CS condition of logic low, reducing current consumption to a minimum.
To reduce power consumption of the SPI interface to a minimum, the SCLK_H and SDI_H should be maintained
at a logic low (de-asserted) while CS_H is asserted (low). Most SPI buses are operated this way by
microcontrollers. The VBUS versions of these signals are not inverted from the host interface. The device also
de-asserts by default the SDO_N/S pins to minimize power consumption.

Packet Formats
Data Read Packet
When the bq76PL536-Q1 is selected (CS_S [CS_H for first device] is active and the bq76PL536-Q1 has been
addressed) and read request has been initiated, then the data is transmitted on the SDO_S pin to the SDO_N
pin of the next device down the stack. This continues to the first device in the stack, where the data in from the
SDO_N pin is transmitted to the host via the SDO_H pin. The device supplying the read data generates a CRC
as the last byte sent.

Data Write Packet
When the bq76PL536-Q1 is selected (CS_S is active and the bq76PL536-Q1 has been addressed) and a write
request has been initiated, the bq76PL536-Q1 receives data through the SDI_S pin, which is connected to the
SDO_N of the lower device. For the first device in the stack, the data is input to the SDI_H pin from the host, and
transmitted up the stack on the SDI_S pin to the SDI_N pin of the next higher device. If enabled, the device
checks the CRC, which it expects as the last byte sent. If the CRC is valid, no action is taken. If the CRC is
invalid or missing, the device asserts the ALERT_S signal to the next lower device, which ripples down the stack
to the ALERT_H pin on the lowest device. The host should then take action to clear the condition.
Unused or undefined register bits should be written as zeros.

Broadcast Writes
The bq76PL536-Q1 supports broadcasting single register writes to all devices. A write to device address 0x3f is
recognized by all devices on the bus with a valid address, and permits efficient simultaneous configuration of all
registers in the stack of devices. This also permits synchronizing all ADC conversions by a firmware command
sent to the CONVERT_CTRL[] register as an alternative to using the CONV and DRDY pins.
Communications Packet Structure
The bq76PL536-Q1 has two primary communication modes via the SPI interface. These two modes enable
single-byte read / write and multiple data reads. All writes are single-byte; the logical address is shifted one bit
left, and the LSB = 1 for writing.
All transactions are in the form of packets comprising:

CRC Algorithm
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a CRC-8 error-checking byte, calculated on all the message bytes
(including addresses). It is identical in structure to the SMBus 2.0 packet error check (PEC), and is also known
as the ATM-8 CRC. The CRC is appended to the message for all SPI packets by the device that supplied the
data as the last byte in the packet (when IO_CONTROL[CRC] == 1).
Each bus transaction requires a CRC calculation by both the transmitter and receiver within each packet. The
CRC is calculated in a way that conforms to the polynomial, C(x) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1 and must be calculated in the
order of the bits as received, MSB first. The CRC calculation includes all bytes in the transmission, including
address, command, and data. When reading data from the device, the CRC is based on the ADDRESS +
FIRST_REGISTER + LENGTH + returned_device_data[n]. The stuff-bytes used to clock out the data from the IC
are not used as part of the calculation, although if the value 0x00 is used, the 0s have no effect on the CRC.
CRC verification is performed by the receiver when the CS_x line goes false, indicating the end of a packet. If
the CRC verification fails, the message is ignored (discarded), the CRC failure flag is set in the
FAULT_STATUS[CRC] register, and the FAULT line becomes asserted and latched until the error is read and
cleared by the host.
The CRC bit returned in the FAULT_STATUS[] register reflects the last packet received, not the CRC condition
of the packet reading the FAULT_STATUS contents. CRC errors should be handled at a high priority by the host
controller, before writing to additional registers.
Data Packet Usage Examples
The bq76PL536-Q1 can be enabled via the host to read just the specific voltage data which would require a total
of 2 written bytes (chip address and R/W [#1] + first (starting) register offset [#2]) + LENGTH [#3] and 13 <null>
stuff bytes (12 [n] data bytes + CRC).

SLUSAB1 – MAY 2011
The data packet can be periodically expanded to accommodate temperature and GPAI readings as well as
device status as needed by changing the REGISTER_FIRST offset and LENGTH values.
Device Addressing
Each individual device in the series stack requires an address to allow it to be communicated with. Each
bq76PL536-Q1 has a CS_S and CS_N that are used in assigning addresses. Once addresses have been
assigned, the normal operation of the CS_N/S lines is asserted (logic high) during communications, and the
appropriate bq76PL536-Q1 in the stack responds according to the address transmitted as part of the packet.
When the bq76PL536-Q1 is reset, the DEVICE_STATUS[AR] (address request) flag is cleared, the address
register is set to 0x00, and ALERT_S is set and passed down the stack. In this state, where address = 0x00, the
CS_N signal is forced to a de-asserted state (CS is not passed north when an address = 0). In this manner, after
a reset the host is assured that a response at address 0x00 is from the first physical device in the stack. After
address assignment of the current device, the host is assured that the next response at address 0x00 is from the
next physical device in the stack.
Once a valid address is assigned to the device, the CS_N signal responds normally, and follows the CS_H or
CS_S signal, propagating to the next device in the stack. Valid addresses are in the range 0x01 through 0x3e.
0x00 is reserved for device discovery after reset. 0x3f is reserved as a broadcast address for all devices.
Designer Note: Broadcast messages are only received by devices with a valid address, and the next higher
device. Any device with an address of 0x00 blocks messages to devices above it. A broadcast message may
not be received by all devices in a stack in situations where some devices do not have a valid address.

Once the address is written, the ADDRESS_CONTROL[AR] bit is set which is copied to the
DEVICE_STATUS[AR] and also ALERT_S if ALERT_N is also de-asserted. This allows the CS_N pin to follow
(asserted) the CS_S pin assertions. The process of addressing can now be repeated as device ‘n’ has a new
address and device n+1 has the default address of 0x00, and can be changed to its correct address in the stack.
If a device loses its address through a POR or it is replaced then this device will be the highest logical device in
the stack able to be addressed (0x00) as its CS_N will be disabled and the addressing process is required to be
undertaken for this, and higher devices.
REGISTER ARCHITECTURE
I/O Register Details
The bq76PL536-Q1 has 48 addressable I/O registers. These registers provide status, control, and configuration
information for the battery protection system. Reserved registers return 0x00. Unused registers should not be
written to; the results are undefined. Unused or undefined bits should be written as zeros, and will always read
back as zeros. Several types of registers are provided, detailed as follows.
Register Types
Read-Only (Group 1)
These registers contain the results of conversions, or device status information set by internal logic. The contents
are re-initialized by a device reset as a result of either POR or the RESET command. Contents of the register are
changed by either a conversion command, or when there is an internal state change (i.e., a fault condition is
sensed).
Read / Write (Group 2)
This register group modifies the operations or behavior of the device, or indicates detailed status in the
ALERT_STATUS[] and FAULT_STATUS[] registers. The contents are re-initialized by a device reset as a result
of either POR or the RESET command. Contents of the register are changed either by a conversion command,
or when there is an internal state change (i.e., a fault condition is sensed).
Contents may also be changed by a write from the host CPU to the register. Writes may only modify a single
register at a time. If CRCs are enabled, the write packet is buffered until the CRC is checked for correctness.
Packets with bad CRCs are discarded without writing the value to the register, after setting the
FAULT_STATUS[CRC] flag.
Unused or undefined bits in any register should be written as zeros, and will always read back as zeros.

Read / Write, Initialized From EPROM (Group3)
These registers control the device configuration and functionality. The contents of the registers are initialized
from EPROM-stored constants as a result of POR, RESET command, or the RELOAD_SHADOW command.
This feature ensures that the secondary protector portion of the device (COV, CUV, OT) is fully functional after
any reset, without host CPU involvement.
These registers may only be modified by using a special, sequential-write sequence to guard against accidental
changes. The value loaded from EPROM at reset (or by command) may be temporarily overridden by using the
special write sequence. The temporary value is overwritten to the programmed EPROM initialization value by the
next reset or command to reload. To write to a these protected registers, first write 0x35 to SHDW_CONTROL[],
immediately followed by the write to the desired register. Any intervening write cancels the special sequence.
To re-initialize the entire set of Group3 registers to the EPROM defaults, write the value 0x27 to
SHDW_CONTROL[].
These registers are further protected against corruption by a ninth parity bit that is automatically updated when
the register is written using even parity. If the contents of the register ever become corrupted, the bad parity
causes the ALERT_STATUS[PARITY] bit to become set, alerting the host CPU of the problem.
The EPROM-stored constants are programmed by writing the values to the register(s), then applying the
programming voltage to the LDODx pins, then issuing the EPROM_WRITE command to register E_EN[]. All
Group3 registers are programmed simultaneously, and this operation can only be performed once to the
one-time-programmable (OTP) memory cells. The process is not reversible.

Figure 14. Protected Register Group3 Architecture, Simplified View
Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) EPROM
The EPROM used to initialize this group is also protected by error-check-and-correct (ECC) logic. The ECC bits
provide a highly reliable storage solution in the presence of external disturbances. This feature cannot be
disabled by user action. Implementation is fully self-contained and automatic and requires no special
computations or provisioning by the user.
When the Group3 contents are permanently written to EPROM, an additional array of hidden ECC-OTP cells is
also automatically programmed. The ECC logic implements a Hamming code that automatically corrects all
single-bit errors in the EPROM array, and senses additional multi-bit errors. If any corrections are made, the
DEVICE_STATUS[ECC_COR] flag bit is set. If any multi-bit errors are sensed, the ALERT_STATUS[ECC_ERR]
flag is set. The corrective action or detection is performed anytime the contents of EPROM are loaded into the
registers – POR, RESET, or by SHADOW_LOAD command. Note: The ECC_COR and ECC_ERR bits may
glitch during OTP-EPROM writes; this is normal. If this occurs, reset the tripped bit; it should remain cleared.

When a double-bit (uncorrectable) error is found, DEVICE_STATUS[ALERT] is set, the ALERT_S (ALERT_H for
bottom stack device) line is activated, and the ALERT_STATUS[] register returns the ECC_ERR and/or I_FAULT
bit = 1(true). The device may return erroneous measurement data, and/or fail to detect COV, CUV, or OT faults
in this state.
EPROM bits are shipped from the factory set to 0, and must be programmed to the 1 state as required.

0 = Address has not been assigned (default at RESET).
1 = Address has been assigned.
[5..0] (ADDR):
These bits set the device address for SPI communication. This provides to a range of
addresses from 0x00 to 0x3f. Address 0x3f is reserved for broadcast messages to all
connected and addressed 76PL536 devices. The default for these 6 bits is 0x00 at

The TEST_SELECT places the SPI port in a special mode useful for debug.
TSEL (b7–b0) is used to place the SPI_H interface pins in a mode to support test/debug of a string of
bq76PL536-Q1 devices. 0 = normal operating mode.
When the sequence 0xa4, 0x25 ("JR") is written on subsequent write cycles, the device enters a special TEST
mode useful for stack debugging. Writes to other registers between the required sequence bytes results in the
partial sequence being voided; the entire sequence must be written again. POR, RESET, or writing a 0x00 to this
register location exits this mode.
In this state, SPI pin SCLK and SDI become outputs and are enabled, and reflect the state of the SCLK_S,
SDI_S pins of the device. SDO remains an output. This allows observation of bus traffic mid-string. The lowest
device in the string should not be set to operate in this mode. The user is cautioned to condition the connection
to a mid- or top-string device with suitable isolation circuitry to prevent injury or damage to connected devices.
Programming the most-negative device on the stack in this mode prevents further communications with the stack
until POR, and may result in device destruction; this condition should be avoided.

0x00 and 0x91 are reserved and may result in undefined operation. The next read or write of any type to the
device resets (closes) the write window. If a Group3 protected write occurs, the window is closed after the write.

This bit sets the reference for the GPAI ADC measurement.
0 = Internal ADC bandgap reference
1 = VREG50 (ratiometric)
[4] (GPAI_SRC):
This bit controls multiplexing of the GPAI register and determines whether the ADC mux
is connected to the external GPAI inputs, or internally to the BAT1 pin. The register
results are automatically scaled to match the input.
0 = External GPAI inputs are converted to result in GPAI register 0x01–02.
1 = BAT pin to VSS voltage is measured and reported in the GPAI register.
[3..2] (CN[1..0]):
These two bits configure the number of series cells used. If fewer than 6 cells are
configured, the corresponding OV/UV faults are ignored. For example, if the CN[x] bits
are set to 10b (2), then the OV/UV comparators are ignored for cells 5 and 6.

CRC_DIS
The IO_CONFIG sets the default configuration for miscellaneous I/O features of the device.
[0] (CRC_DIS):
This bit enables and disables the automatic generation of the CRC for the SPI
communication packet. The packet size is determined by the host as part of the read
request protocol. The CRC is checked at the deassertion of the CS pin. TI recommends
that this bit be changed using the broadcast address (0x3f) so that all devices in a battery
stack use the same protocol.
0 = A CRC is expected, and generated as the last byte of the packet.
1 = A CRC is not used in communications.

PROGRAMMING THE EPROM CONFIGURATION REGISTERS
The bq76PL536-Q1 has a block of OTP-EPROM that is used for configuring the operation of the bq76PL536-Q1.
Programming of the EPROM should take place during pack/system manufacturing. A 7-V (VPP) pulse is required
on the PROG pin. The part uses an internal window comparator to check the voltage, and times the internal
pulse delivered to the EPROM array.
The user first writes the desired values to all of the equivalent Group3 protected register addresses. The desired
data is written to the appropriate address by first applying 7 V to the LDOD1(2) pins. Programming then
performed by writing to the EE_EN register (address 0x3f) with data 0x91. After a time period > 1500 µs, the 7 V
is removed. Nominally, the voltage pulse should be applied for approximately 2–3 ms. Applying the voltage for an
extended period of time may lead to device damage. The write is self-timed internally after receipt of the
command. The following flow chart illustrates the procedure for programming.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
Multiple Top-Side Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Top-Side Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a
continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Top-Side Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
