Detailed Description

2.1 1st Level Protection Features

The bq20z90/bq20z95 supports a wide range of battery and system protection features that are easily
configured or enabled via the integrated data flash.

2.1.1 Cell Overvoltage and Cell Undervoltage

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can detect cell overvoltage/undervoltage and protect battery cells from damage
from battery cell overvoltage/undervoltage. If the over/under voltage remains over an adjustable time
period, the bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into pack overvoltage/undervoltage condition and switches off the
CHG/DSG FET. The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers from a cell overvoltage condition if all the cell voltages
drops below the cell overvoltage recovery threshold. The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers from cell
undervoltage condition if all the cell voltages rise above the cell undervoltage recovery threshold.

and ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set back to appropriate value per charging algorithm.
In cell over voltage condition the CHG FET is turned on during discharging to prevent overheating of the
CHG FET body diode.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 indicates cell under voltage by setting the [CUV] flag in SafetyAlert if any
CellVoltage4..1 reaches or drops below the CUV Threshold limit during discharging. The
bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into cell under voltage condition and changes the [CUV] flag in SafetyAlert to the
[CUV] flag in SafetyStatus if any of CellVoltage4..1 stays below CUV Threshold limit for a minimum time
period of CUV Time. This function is disabled if CUV Time is set to zero.
In cell under voltage condition, discharging is disabled and DSG FET is turned off, ChargingCurrent is set
to Pre-chg Current,the [CUV] flag in SafetyAlert is reset, the [TDA] and [FD] flags in BatteryStatus and
the [CUV] flag in SafetyStatus are set.

2.1.2 Cell Overvoltage Threshold Compensation

In charging mode, the actual threshold for cell-overvoltage detection may be reduced, based on the SBS
Temperature function. If COV Delta is set to zero, the compensation is disabled.

2.1.3 Pack Overvoltage and Undervoltage

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can detect battery pack overvoltage/undervoltage and protect the battery pack from
damage from battery pack overvoltage/undervoltage. If the overvoltage/undervoltage remains over an
adjustable time period, the bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into pack overvoltage/undervoltage condition and
switches off the CHG/DSG FET. The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers from a pack overvoltage condition if the
pack voltage drops below the pack overvoltage recovery threshold and recovers from a pack undervoltage
condition if the pack voltage rises above the pack undervoltage recovery threshold.

2.1.4 Charge and Discharge Overcurrent

The bq20z90/bq20z95 has two independent tiers (levels) of overcurrent protection for charge and
discharge. These two tiers require the Current value to be greater than or equal to a programmed OC
Threshold in either charge or discharge current for a period greater than OC Time Limit. If the OC Time
Limit for any of the overcurrent protections is set to 0, that specific feature is disabled.

Figure 2-3. OC Protection

For the first two tiers of overcurrent protection, the specific flag in SafetyAlert is set if Current exceeds the
OC Threshold. The bq20z90/bq20z95 changes the specific flag in SafetyAlert to the specific flag in
SafetyStatus if the Current stays above the OC Threshold limit for at least OC Time Limit period. This
function is disabled if the OC Time Limit is set to zero. The SafetyStatus flag is reset if the Current falls
below the OC Recovery Threshold.
If the timer of any tier expires during charging, the CHG FET is turned off. When this occurs, the internal
AFE_Current_Fault timer is started from 0, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to 0, [TCA] flag
is set and the appropriate SafetyStatus tier flag is set.

However, when the bq20z90/bq20z95 has either of [OCC] or [OCC2] flags in SafetyStatus set, the CHG
FET is turned on again during discharge (Current ≤ (-) Dsg Current Threshold). This prevents
overheating of the CHG FET body diode during discharge. No other flags change state until full recovery
is reached. This action is not affected by the setting of [NR] bit.
If the timer of either of the first two tiers expires during discharging, the DSG FET is turned off and the
ZVCHG FET is turned on if used. When this occurs the AFE_Current_Fault timer is started from 0,
ChargingCurrent is set to Pre-chg Current, [XDSGI] flag is set, [TDA] flag is set, and the correct tier
flag is set in SafetyStatus.
When the bq29330 detects a discharge-overcurrent fault, the charge and discharge FETs are turned off,
the XALERT pin of the bq20z90/bq20z95 is driven low by the XALERT pin of the bq29330, and the
bq29330 is interrogated. When the bq20z90/bq20z95 identifies the overcurrent condition, the
AFE_Current_Fault timer is started from 0, [TDA] flag is set, ChargingCurrent is set to 0, and [AOCD] is
set.
However, when the bq20z90/bq20z95 has any of [OCD], [OCD2], [AOCD] set, the FETs are turned on
again during charging (Current ≥ Chg Current Threshold). This prevents overheating of the
discharge-FET body diode during charge. No other flags change state until full recovery is reached. This
action is not affected by the state of [NR] bit.

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can individually configure each overcurrent-protection feature to recover via two
different methods based on [NR] bit.
Standard Recovery, where [NR] = 0 and the overcurrent tier is not selected in Non-Removable Cfg
register. When the pack is removed and reinserted the condition is cleared. Pack removal and reinsertion
is detected by a low-to-high-to-low transition on the PRES input. When the overcurrent tier is selected in
Non-Removable Cfg, that particular feature uses the Non-Removable Battery Mode recovery.
Non-removable Battery Mode Recovery where [NR] = 1. The state of Non-Removable Cfg has no
consequence. This recovery requires AverageCurrent to be ≤ the respective recovery threshold, and for
the AFE_Current_Fault timer ≥ Current Recovery Time.

2.1.5 Short-Circuit Protection

The bq20z90/bq20z95 short-circuit protection is controlled by the bq29330, but is recovered by the
bq20z90/bq20z95. This allows different recovery methods to accommodate various applications.
The bq29330 charge short-circuit and discharge short-circuit protection are configured by the
bq20z90/bq20z95 data flash AFE SC Chg Cfg and AFE SC Dsg Cfg registers, respectively.
When the bq29330 detects a short circuit in charge or short circuit in discharge fault, the charge and
discharge FETs are turned off, the XALERT pin of the bq20z90/bq20z95 is driven low by the XALERT pin
of the bq29330 and the bq29330 is interrogated. When the bq20z90/bq20z95 identifies the short-circuit
condition (charge or discharge current direction), the internal AFE_Current_Fault timer is started from 0,
either [TCA] or [TDA] battery status is set, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage is set to 0 and either
[SCC] or [SCD] is set. If the short-circuit condition is in discharge, then [XDSG] flag is also set.
Each bq20z90/bq20z95 short-circuit protection feature can be individually configured to recover via two
different methods, based on [NR] bit.
Standard Recovery is where [NR] = 0 and the overcurrent tier is not selected in Non-Removable Cfg.
When the pack is removed and re-inserted, the condition is cleared. Pack removal and re-insertion is
detected by transition on the PRES input from low to high to low. When the overcurrent tier is selected in
Non-Removable Cfg, that particular feature uses the Non-removable Battery Mode recovery.
Non-removable Battery Mode Recovery is where [NR] = 1. The state of Non-Removable Cfg has no
consequence when [NR] bit is set to 1. This recovery requires AverageCurrent to be
≤ AFE SC Recovery threshold and for the internal AFE_Current_Fault timer to be
≥ Current Recovery Time.
When the recovery condition for a charging fault is detected, the CHG FET is allowed to be turned on if
other safety and configuration states permit. The ZVCHG FET also returns to previous state. When this
occurs, [TCA] is reset, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to the appropriate values per the
charging algorithm, and the appropriate SafetyStatus flag is reset.
When the recovery condition for a discharging fault is detected, the DSG FET is allowed to be turned on if
other safety and configuration states permit. The ZVCHG FET also returns to previous state. When this
occurs [TDA] is reset, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to the appropriate value per the
charging algorithm, and [XDSG] and the appropriate SafetyStatus flags are reset.

2.1.6 Overtemperature Protection

The bq20z90/bq20z95 has overtemperature protection for both charge and discharge conditions.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 sets the over temperature charging [OTC] SafetyAlert flag, if pack temperature
reaches or surpasses Over Temp Chg limit during charging. The bq20z90/bq20z95 changes [OTC]
SafetyAlert to over temperature condition, if pack temperature stays above Over Temp Chg limit for a
time period of OT Chg Time. This function is disabled if OT Chg Time is set to zero.
If [OTFET] is set and bq20z90/bq20z95 is in [OTC] condition, charging is disabled and CHG FET is turned
off, ZVCHG FET is turned off if configured for use, ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to zero,
the [OTC] flag in SafetyAlert is reset, [TCA] and [OTC] in SafetyStatus are set.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers from an [OTC] condition if Temperature is equal to or below
OTC Chg Recovery limit. On recovery the [OTC] flag in SafetyStatus is reset, [TCA] is reset,
ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set back to their appropriate value per the charging algorithm,
and the CHG FET returns to previous state.
In an [OTC] condition, the CHG FET is turned on during discharging to prevent overheating of the CHG
FET body diode.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 sets the over temperature discharging [OTD] SafetyAlert flag, if pack temperature
reaches or surpasses Over Temp Dsg limit during discharging. The bq20z90/bq20z95 changes [OTD]
SafetyAlert to over temperature condition, if pack temperature stays above Over Temp Dsg limit for a
time period of OT Dsg Time. This function is disabled if OT Dsg Time is set to zero.
If [OTFET] is set and bq20z90/bq20z95 is in [OTD] condition, discharging is disabled and DSG FET is
turned off, ChargingCurrent is set to zero, the [OTD] SafetyAlert flag is reset, [TDA] is set, [XDSG] flag is
set and the [OTD] flag in SafetyStatus is set.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers from an [OTD] condition if pack temperature is equal to or below
OTD Chg Recovery limit. On recovery [OTD] in SafetyStatus is reset, [TDA] is reset, ChargingCurrent is
set back to the appropriate value per the charging algorithm, and the DSG FET is allowed to switch on
again.
In an [OTD] condition, the DSG FET is turned on during charging to prevent overheating of the DSG FET
body diode.

2.1.7 Host Watchdog

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can be configured to require the host system to communicate with the battery
periodically, else the battery disables charging and discharging. The Host Watchdog function is only active
in Normal Power mode and is disabled if Host Watchdog Timeout is set to 0.
If the bq20z90/bq20z95 does not receive any valid SMBus communications for Host Watchdog Timeout
period of time, the FETs are turned off, ChargingVoltage and ChargingCurrent are set to 0, [TCA] and
[TDA] in BatteryStatus, [XDSG] in OperationStatus, and [HWDG] in SafetyStatus are all set.
For normal recovery to be achieved, normal SMBus communication must be resumed. When this occurs,
the FETs are returned to the normal operating state, [TCA] and [TDA] in BatteryStatus are cleared,
ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to the appropriate value per the charging algorithm, and
[XDSG] and [HWDG] are cleared.

2.1.8 AFE Watchdog
The bq29330 automatically turns off the CHG FET, DSG FET and ZVCHG FET (if used), if the bq29330
does not receive the appropriate frequency on the WDI pin from bq20z90/bq20z95. The bq20z90/bq20z95
has no warning that this is about to happen, but it can report the occurrence once the bq20z90/bq20z95 is
able to interrogate the bq29330.
When the XALERT input of the bq20z90/bq20z95 is triggered by the XALERT pin of the bq29330, the
bq20z90/bq20z95 reads the STATUS register of the bq29330. If [WDF] is set, the bq20z90/bq20z95 also
sets [WDF] in SafetyStatus and periodic verification of the bq29330 RAM is undertaken. If verification of
the bq29330 RAM fails then the FETs will turn off. Verification of the bq29330 RAM will continue once
every second. If the periodic verification passes, then [WDF] in SafetyStatus is cleared and the FETs
return to normal operation.

2.2 2nd Level Protection Features

The bq20z90/bq20z95 provides features that can be used to indicate a more serious fault via the SAFE
output. These outputs can be used to blow an in-line fuse to permanently disable the battery pack from
charge or discharge activity.
If any PF Threshold condition is met, the appropriate flag is set in PFAlert. If the PF Threshold condition is
cleared within the PF time limit, the appropriate PFAlert flag is cleared in PFAlert. But if the PF Threshold
condition continues over the PF Time Limit or Alert Limit, then the bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into permanent
failure condition and the appropriate flag is set in PFStatus and reset in PFAlert.
When any NEW cause of a permanent failure is set in PFStatus function, the NEW cause is added to
PF Flags 1 register. This allows PF Flags 1 register to show ALL permanent failure conditions that have
occurred.
On the first occasion of a permanent failure indicated by PFStatus change from 0x00, the PFStatus value
is stored in PF Flags 2.

• CHG, DSG, and ZVCHG FETs are turned OFF.
• [TCA], [TDA] flags in BatteryStatus are set.
• A backup of SBS data and the complete memory map of the bq29330 is stored to data flash.
• Data Flash write access is then disabled, but the data flash can be read.
• ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage are set to 0.
• The appropriate bit in PF Flags 1 is set.
• If the appropriate bit in Permanent Fail Cfg is set, then 0x3672 is programmed to Fuse Flag, and the
SAFE pin is driven and latched high. The[PF] flag in SafetyStatus is also set.

2.2.2 Time Limit Based Protection

bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a 2nd level protection alert by setting the appropriate flag in the PFAlert function
if the monitored value reaches or rises above the Protection Threshold. If the monitored value stays above
the Protection Threshold over the Max Alert duration, the bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a 2nd level permanent
failure, clears the appropriate PFAlert flag, and sets the appropriate PFStatus flag. See the table for all
Protection Thresholds and Max Alert durations.
Safety Overvoltage Protection— The bq20z90/bq20z95 monitors the pack voltage for extreme values.
Cell Imbalance Fault— The bq20z90/bq20z95 starts cell imbalance fault detection when Current is lesser
or equal to Cell Imbalance Current for Battery Rest Time period AND All (CellVoltage4..1) > Min

is disabled.
2nd Level Protection IC Input— The PFIN input of the bq20z90/bq20z95 can be used to determine the
state of an external protection device such as the bq294xx. The bq20z90/bq20z95 watches for

2.2.3 Limit Based Protection

The bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a 2nd level permanent failure and sets the appropriate PFStatus flag if the
internal error counter reaches the max error limit. The internal error counter is incremented by one if the
error happens and decremented by one each fail recovery period.
bq29330 AFE Communication Fault Protection— The bq20z90/bq20z95 periodically validates its read
and write communications with the bq29330. If either a read or write verify fails, an internal
AFE_Fail_Counter is incremented. If the AFE_Fail_Counter reaches AFE Fail Limit, the
bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a [AFE_C] permanent failure. If the AFE Fail Limit is set to 0, this
feature is disabled. An [AFE_C] fault can also be declared if, after a full reset, the initial gain and
offset values read from the AFE cannot be verified. These values are A/D readings of the bq29330
VCELL output. The bq29330 offset values are verified by reading the values twice and confirming
that the readings are within acceptable limits. The max difference between 2 readings is set with
AFE Init Limit. The maximum number of read retries, if offset and gain value verification fails and
[AFE_C] fault is declared, is set in AFE Fail Limit.
Periodic bq29330 AFE Verification— The bq20z90/bq20z95 periodically (AFE Check Time) compares
certain RAM content of the bq29330 AFE with that of the bq20z90/bq20z95 data flash and the
expected control-bit states. This function is disabled if AFE Check Time is set to 0. If an error is
detected, the internal AFE_Fail_Counter is incremented. If the internal AFE_Fail_Counter reaches
the AFE Fail Limit, the bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a permanent failure.
bq29330 AFE Init Verification— After a full reset the bq20z90/bq20z95 and the AFE offset and gain
values are read twice and compared. The AFE Init Limit sets the maximum difference in A/D
counts of two successful readings of offset and gain, which the bq20z90/bq20z95 still considers as
the same value. If the gain and offset values are still not considered the same after
AFE Init Retry Limit comparison retries, the bq20z90/bq20z95 reports a permanent failure error.

2.3 Gas Gauging

The bq20z90/bq20z95 measures individual cell voltages, pack voltage, temperature, and current using
features of the bq29330 AFE device. The bq20z90/bq20z95 determines battery state of charge by
analyzing individual cell voltages when a time exceeding 35 minutes has passed since the batteries last
charge or discharge activity. The bq20z90/bq20z95 measures charge and discharge activity by monitoring
the voltage across a small-value series sense resistor (10 mΩ typ.) between the cell stack negative
terminal and the negative terminal of the battery pack. The battery state of charge is subsequently
adjusted during load or charger application using the integrated charge passed through the battery.

2.3.1 Impedance Track Configuration
Load Mode— During normal operation, the battery-impedance profile compensation of the Impedance
Track algorithm can provide more accurate full-charge and remaining state-of-charge information if
the typical load type is known. The two selectable options are constant current (Load Mode = 0)
and constant power (Load Mode = 1).
Load Select— In order to compensate for the I x R drop near the end of discharge, the bq20z90/bq20z95
needs to be configured for whatever current (or power) will flow in the future. While it can not be
exactly known, the bq20z90/bq20z95 can use load history such as the average current of the
present discharge to make a sufficiently accurate prediction. The bq20z90/bq20z95 can be
configured to use several methods of this prediction by setting the Load Select value. Because this
estimate has only a second-order effect on remaining capacity accuracy, different measurement
based methods (0x00 to 0x03) result in only minor differences in accuracy. However, methods 0x04
- 0x06, where an estimate is arbitrarily assigned by the user, can result in significant error if a fixed
estimate is far from the actual load.
Constant Current (Load Mode = 0) Constant Power (Load Mode = 1)
0 = Avg I Last Run Avg P Last Run
1 = present average discharge current present average discharge power
2 = Current Current x Voltage
3 = AverageCurrent (default) AverageCurrent x average Voltage
4 = Design Capacity / 5 Design Energy / 5
5 = AtRate (mA) AtRate (10 mW)
6 = User Rate-mA User Rate-mW

Pulsed Load Compensation and Termination Voltage— In order to take into account pulsed loads,
while calculating remaining capacity until Term Voltage threshold is reached, the bq20z90/bq20z95
monitors not only average load but also short load spikes. The maximum voltage deviation during a
load spike is continuously updated during discharge and stored in Delta Voltage.
Reserve Battery Capacity— The bq20z90/bq20z95 allows an amount of capacity to be reserved in either
mAh (Reserve Cap-mAh, Load Mode = 0) or 10 mWh (Reserve Cap-mWh, Load Mode = 1) units
between the point where RemainingCapacity function reports zero capacity, and the absolute
minimum pack voltage, Term Voltage. This enables a system to report zero energy, but still have
enough reserve energy to perform a controlled shutdown, or to provide an extended sleep period
for the host system.
Also, if [RESCAP] bit is set to 0, the reserve capacity is compensated at a no-load condition.
However, if [RESCAP] bit is set to 1, then the reserve capacity is compensated at the present
discharge rate as selected by Load Select.

2.3.3 Qmax
The total battery capacity is found by comparing states of charge before and after applying the load with
the amount of charge passed. When an applications load is applied, the impedance of each cell is
measured by comparing the open circuit voltage (OCV) obtained from a predefined function for present
state of charge with the measured voltage under load.
Measurements of OCV and charge integration determine chemical state of charge and Chemical Capacity
(Qmax).

The bq20z90/bq20z95 acquires and updates the battery-impedance profile during normal battery usage. It
uses this profile, along with state-of-charge and the Qmax values, to determine FullChargeCapacity and

2.3.3.2 Qmax Update Conditions

The bq20z90/bq20z95 updates the no-load full capacity (QMAX) when two open circuit voltage (OCV)
readings are taken. These OCV readings are taken when the battery is in a relaxed state before and after
charge or discharge activity. A relaxed state is achieved if the battery voltage has a dV/dt of < 4 μV/s.
Typically it takes 2 hrs in a charged state and 5 hrs in a discharged state to ensure that the dV/dt
condition is satisfied. If 5 hrs is exceeded, a reading will be taken even if the dV/dt condition was not
satisfied. A QMAX update is disqualified under the following conditions:
Temperature— If Temperature is outside of the range 10°C to 40°C.
Delta Capacity— If the capacity change between suitable battery rest periods is less than 37%.
Voltage— If CellVoltage4..1 is within the range of 3737mV and 3800mV for the default LION chemistry.

2.4.2 Cell Balancing

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can determine the chemical state of charge of each cell using the Impedance
Track™ algorithm. The cell balancing algorithm used in the bq20z90/bq20z95 decreases the differences in
imbalanced cells in a fully charged state gradually, which prevents fully charged cells from becoming
overcharged causing excessive degradation. This increases overall pack energy by preventing premature
charge termination. More Information can be found in the "Cell Balancing Using the bq20z90" Application
Report (SLUA340).
The algorithm determines the amount of charge needed to fully charge each cell. There is a bypass FET
in parallel with each cell connected to the bq29330. The FET is enabled for each cell with charge greater
than the lowest charged cell to reduce charge current through those cells. Each FET is enabled for a
precalculated time as calculated by the cell balancing algorithm. When any bypass FET is turned on, then
the [CB] charging status flag is set, otherwise the [CB] flag is cleared.

If Min Cell Deviation is set to 0 cell balancing is disabled and all bypass FETs stay OFF.
The bypass time needed for each cell is calculated as:
Min Cell Deviation = R / (duty_cycle * V_avg) * 3.6 s/mAh
Where:
R = internal bypass FET resistance of 500Ω (typ.) of bq29330 + 2 series input filter resistors, Rχ. For
example: if input filter Rχ value is 100 Ω, R = 500 + 2 x Rχ = 700 Ω.
V_avg = 3.6V
duty_cycle = 0.4 typ.
Using default values, the formula calculates the default value for Min Cell Deviation:
Min Cell Deviation = (500Ω + (2 x Rχ) ) / (0.4 * 3.6V) * 3.6 s/mAh = 1750 s/mAh,

2.4.3 Charge Inhibit Mode
If the bq20z90/bq20z95 is in discharge mode or relaxation mode ([DSG] = 1) the bq20z90/bq20z95 goes
into charge inhibit mode and sets the ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage values to 0 to inhibit charging
if:
• Temperature < Charge Inhibit Temp Low limit OR
• Temperature > Charge Inhibit Temp High limit
In charge inhibit mode the [XCHG] flag in ChargingStatus is set. If [CHGIN] bit in Operation Cfg B is set,
the CHG FET and ZVCHG FET (if used) are also turned off when the bq20z90/bq20z95 is in
charge-inhibit mode.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 allows charging to resume when:
• Temperature ≥ Charge Inhibit Temp Low + Temp Hys AND
• Temperature ≤ Charge Inhibit Temp High - Temp Hys
The FETs also return to their previous states at that time. The [XCHG] flag is cleared when the above
conditions are met, when a fault condition is detected, or when the battery is removed if in removable
mode ([NR] = 0).

2.4.7 Fast Charge Temperature Throttling
The bq20z90/bq20z95 alters ChargingCurrent and sets ChargingStatus[TCHG2], [TCHG1] flags during
fast charge in response to changing temperature conditions.
ChargingStatus [TCHG2], [TCHG1] are also cleared when another charging mode is entered, a protection
condition is detected, or the battery is removed while [NR] flag is set.
However, if Delta Temp is set to 0, ChargingCurrent remains Fast Charge Current during fast charge.

2.4.8 Fast Charge Pulse Charging

Pulse charging is part of the fast charging mode and is a loop. During the loop, the measured cell voltages
are calculated every 250 ms. This data is not reported via the CellVoltage4..1 commands.
The pulse charging loop is entered when:
• maximum CellVoltage4..1 ≥ Max OFF Voltage OR
• maximum CellVoltage4..1 ≥ Turn OFF Voltage for Max ON Pulse Time
When these conditions are met, the CHG FET is turned off, and the [PULSE] and [PLSOFF] flags in
ChargingStatus are set.
If the maximum CellVoltage4..1 is < Turn ON Voltage AND the CHG FET is off for Min OFF Pulse Time,
the CHG FET is turned on and [PLSOFF] flag is cleared.

2.4.9 Primary Charge Termination

The bq20z90/bq20z95 determines charge termination if:
• Average Charge Current < Taper Current during 2 consecutive Current Taper Window time periods,
AND
• the accumulated change in capacity must be > 0.25mAh per period during 2 consecutive
Current Taper Window time periods, AND
• Voltage + Taper Voltage ≥ Charging Voltage

Note: To ensure proper charge termination, it is recommend that Taper Current be set to a
value greater than Quit Current.

The following parameters change the behavior of bq20z90/bq20z95 on charge termination:

Table 2-13. Primary Charge Termination

TCA Set % = -1 [TCA] flag set, MCHG flag set, ChargingCurrent = Maintenance Current
FC Set % = -1 [FC] flag set
[CHGFET] set CHG FET turned off
[CSYNC] set RemainingCapacity = FullChargeCapacity regardless of TCA Set % value
[RSOCL] set If the [RSOCL] bit in Operation Cfg C is set then RelativeStateofCharge and
RemainingCapacity are held at 99% until primary charge termination occurs and only
displays 100% upon entering primary charge termination.
[RSOCL] clear If the [RSOCL] bit in Operation Cfg C is cleared then RelativeStateofCharge and
RemainingCapacity are not held at 99% until primary charge termination occurs.

2.4.10 Charging Faults

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can report charging faults in the ChargingStatus register. When the [OCHGI] bit in
Charge Fault Cfg is set, the CHG FET is turned OFF and the ZVCHG FET is turned ON if the [ZVCHG1,
ZVCHG0] bits in Operation Cfg A are set appropriately. If the ZVCHG FET is not used the CHG FET
remains ON, regardless of the bits set in Charge Fault Cfg, because it acts as the ZVCHG FET.
On occurrence of a charging fault the bq20z90/bq20z95 sets:
• The appropriate ChargingStatus flag
• If the flag in Charge Fault Cfg and ChargingStatus matches, CHG FET is turned off and ZVCHG FET
(if used) is turned on. The DSG FET is also turned off if charging fault is a Battery Depleted fault.
• ChargingCurrent = 0, ChargingVoltage = 0; ChargingVoltage is not set to zero if it is a Battery Depeted
fault.
• [TCA] flag in BatteryStatus
• [OC] flag in BatteryStatus if it's an Overcharge fault
On Recovery the bq20z90/bq20z95:
• Resets the appropriate ChargingStatus flags
• CHG FET and ZVCHG FET (if used) return to previous states. (DSG FET is also allowed to turn on
again on recovery from Battery Depleted fault).
• Sets ChargingCurrent and ChargingVoltage back to previous state according to charging algorithm.
• Resets [TCA]BatteryStatus flag
Precharge Mode Timeout
When Current is ≥ Chg Current Threshold the bq20z90/bq20z95 starts the Precharge Timer. The
Precharge Timer is suspended during off the phase in pulse charging ([PLSOFF] = 1) and when
precharge mode is not active ([PCHG] = 0). Set PC-MTO to zero to disable this feature.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into precharge mode charging timeout if:
• Precharge timer ≥ PC-MTO
The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers if:
• Current ≤ (-)Dsg Current Threshold, OR
• Pack is removed and reinserted, if [NR] = 0
Fast Charge Mode Timeout
When Current is ≥ Chg Current Threshold, the bq20z90/bq20z95 starts the Fast Charge timer. The
Fast Charge Timer is suspended during the off phase in pulse charge mode ([PLSOFF]= 1), fast charge is
not active ([FCHG] = 0), or when [DSG] = 1. The Fast Charge Timer is reset when an amount of discharge
greater than Over Charge Recovery is detected or the pack is removed and reinserted when NR = 0. Set
FC-MTO to 0 to disable this feature.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 goes into fast charge mode charging timeout if:
• Fast charge timer ≥ FC-MTO
The bq20z90/bq20z95 recovers if:
• Current ≤ (-)Dsg Current Threshold OR
• Pack is removed and reinserted if [NR] = 0

If [CUV] or [PUV] flags are set, the display is disabled.
LEDR — Set this flag to activate the display on exit from reset of bq20z90/bq20z95.
LEDRCA— Set this flag to let all active LEDs flash with LED Flash Rate if [RCA] flag is set.
CHGLED— Set this flag to let the display stay activated during charging.
PFD1, PFD0— If [PFD0] is set, the permanent failure can be activated in two different ways depending on
the [PFD1] flag. If [PFD1] is cleared, the permanent failure display is active after normal capacity
display, if DISP is held low after H-L transition for LED Hold Time period. If [PFD1] is set, the
permanent failure display is activated with a H-L transition at DISP pin. The permanent failure
display stays active 2 ×LED Hold Time for each flag set in PFStatus register. See "Permanent
Failure Error Codes" chapter for available error codes.
LEDs ON, LEDs OFF, Display ON— The display can be tested with these ManufacturerAccess
commands, LEDs ON and LEDs OFF switches all configured LEDs on or off. The Display ON
command simulates a H-L transition at the DISP pin.

2.5.2 Display Configuration

The following parameters configures the display in various ways.
DMODE— The charge level display can be configured to show either relative state of charge or absolute
state of charge.
LED1, LED0 — These bits configure the number of LEDs and the charge threshold levels used in the LED
display. The bq20z90/bq20z95 can use predefined charge levels for 3,4, or 5 LEDs or user defined
levels.
SLED — The serial LED option can be used to implement a much brighter display at the expense of
additional hardware components. With the parallel connection, the 3.3 V output from the bq29330 is
used to power the LEDs. Using that approach, current in each LED should be limited to 3 mA
maximum. With the serial option, all LEDs can be powered from the battery voltage and driven in
series through a simple constant current regulator. The current is then diverted to ground at the
various nodes between the series LEDs in order to program the desired pattern.
LED Blink Rate— During charging, the top LED segment flashes with the LED Blink Rate time period;
e.g. if battery charge is 36% and the display uses 5 LEDs, LED 2 will blink. [LEDRCA],
CHG Flash Alarm and DSG Flash Alarm will override this setting if active.
LED Flash Rate— During discharge alarm, the remaining LED segments flash with LED Flash Rate time
period; e.g. if battery charge is 36% and the display uses 5 LEDs, LED 1 and LED 2 will blink.
LED Delay— An activation delay from one LED to another LED can be set with this value.
LED Hold Time— After display activation the display will stay on LED Hold Time period. The permanent
failure display will stay on double the LED Hold Time period for each permanent failure bit set.

Device Operating Mode

2.6 Device Operating Mode

The bq20z90/bq20z95 has several device power modes. During these modes, the bq20z90/bq20z95
modifies its operation to minimize power consumption from the battery.

2.6.1 Normal Mode

During normal operation, the bq20z90/bq20z95 takes Current, Voltage, and Temperature measurements,
performs calculations, updates SBS data, and makes protection and status decisions at one-second
intervals. Between these periods of activity, the bq20z90/bq20z95 is in a reduced power state.
PRES is sampled once per second and if PRES is high, the OperationStatus [PRES] flag is cleared. If
PRES is low, the OperationStatus [PRES] flag is set indicating the system is present (the battery is
inserted).
If the [NR] bit is set, the PRES input can be left floating as it is not monitored.
Related Variables:
• DF:Configuration:Registers(64):Operation Cfg B(2)[NR]
• SBS:OperationStatus(0x54)[PRES]

2.6.2 Battery Pack Removed Mode/System Present Detection

2.6.2.1 Battery Pack Removed

The bq20z90/bq20z95 detects the Battery Pack Removed state if [NR] bit is set to 0 AND the PRES input
is high ([PRES] = 0).
On entry to the Battery Pack Removed state, [TCA] and [TDA] flags are set, ChargingCurrent and
ChargingVoltage are set to 0, the CHG and DSG FETs are turned off, and the ZVCHG FET is turned off (if
used).
Polling of the PRES pin continues at a rate of once every 1 s.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 exits the Battery Pack Removed state if [NR] flag is set to 0, AND the PRES input
is low ([PRES] = 1). When this occurs, [TCA] and [TDA] flags are reset.
Related Variables:
• DF:Configuration:Registers(64):Operation Cfg B(2)[NR]
• SBS:BatteryStatus(0x16)[TCA],[TDA]
• SBS:OperationStatus(0x54)[PRES]

2.6.2.2 System Present

PRES is sampled once per second and if PRES is high, the OperationStatus [PRES] flag is cleared. If
PRES is low, the OperationStatus [PRES] flag is set indicating the system is present (the battery is
inserted). If the [NR] bit is set, the PRES input is ignored and can be left floating.

Related Variables:
• DF:Configuration:Registers(64):Operation Cfg B(2)[NR]
• SBS:OperationStatus(0x54)[PRES]

2.6.3 Sleep Mode

In Sleep mode the bq20z90/bq20z95 measures Voltage and Temperature in Sleep Voltage Time
intervals and Current at Sleep Current Time intervals. At each interval the bq20z90/bq20z95 performs
calculations, updates SBS data, and makes protection and status decisions. Between these periods of
activity, the bq20z90/bq20z95 is in a reduced-power state.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 enters Sleep mode when the following conditions exist:
• If [NR] bit is set to 0, [PRES] must also be set to 0, for the bq20z90/bq20z95 to enter sleep.

AND one of the following conditions:
• (|Current| ≤ Sleep Current) AND (SMBus is low for Bus Low Time) AND ([SLEEP] bit is set)
OR
• (|Current| ≤ Sleep Current) AND (ManufacturerAccess Sleep command is received) AND ([SLEEP]
is set).
Entry to Sleep mode is blocked if any of the PFStatus flags are set. If Sleep Voltage Time = 0 or
Sleep Current Time = 0, sleep mode is not entered, and the bq20z90/bq20z95 remains in Normal mode.
On entry to sleep, if [NR] = 0, the CHG and DSG FETs are turned off, and the ZVCHG FET is turned off
(if used) regardless of [NRCHG] setting. If [NR] = 1, the CHG FET is turned off, and the ZVCHG FET is
turned off (if used). However, if [NRCHG] is set then the CHG FET remains on.
Also, on entry to Sleep mode, the auto calibration of the A/DC begins. However, if Temperature is ≤
Cal Inhibit Temp Low or Temperature ≥ Cal Inhibit Temp High, Auto Calibration is not started on entry
to sleep mode. The activation of auto calibration is not affected by the state of [SLEEP],
Sleep Voltage Time, Sleep Current Time, or Current.
The bq20z90/bq20z95 exits Sleep mode when one or more of the following conditions exist:
• If the [NR] bit is set to 0 and [PRES] is set to 1.
• (|Current| > Sleep Current
• SMBC or SMBD inputs transition high
• OperationStatus, ChargingStatus or SafetyStatus are set
• Wake function enabled by setting Wake Current Reg and a voltage across SRP and SRN is detected
The bq20z90/bq20z95 exits Sleep mode if absolute value of Current is greater than Sleep Current, OR
the SMBC or SMBD inputs transition high, OR any OperationStatus, ChargingStatus, or SafetyStatus flags
change state.
In addition, if [NR] is cleared, the bq20z90/bq20z95 exits Sleep mode when [PRES] = 1.

2.6.5 Shutdown Mode

The bq20z90/bq20z95 enters Shutdown mode if the following conditions are met:
• [SHUTV] in Operation Cfg C is set to 0 ANDVoltage ≤ Shutdown Voltage AND Current ≤ 0 for a
period of Cell Shutdown Time
OR
• [SHUTV] in Operation Cfg C is set to 1 AND Min (CellVoltage4..1) ≤ Cell Shutdown Voltage AND
Current ≤ 0 for a period of Shutdown Time
OR
• (ManufacturerAccess shutdown command received AND Current = 0) AND
PackVoltage < Charger Present threshold.
When the bq20z90/bq20z95 meets these conditions, the CHG, DSG, and ZVCHG FETs are turned off,
and the bq29330 is commanded to shut down. In Shutdown mode, the bq20z90/bq20z95 is completely
powered down because its supply is removed.
To exit Shutdown mode the voltage at the PACK pin of the bq29330 must be greater than its minimum
operating voltage. When this occurs, the bq29330 returns power to the bq20z90/bq20z95 , the [WAKE]
flag is set, and the bq29330 is configured. The [INIT] and [WAKE] flags are cleared after approximately 1
s when all SBS parameters have been measured and updated.

Security (Enables and Disables Features)

2.7 Security (Enables and Disables Features)

There are three levels of secured operation within the bq20z90/bq20z95. To switch between the levels,
different operations are needed with different codes. The three levels are Sealed, Unsealed, and Full
Access.
1. Full Access or Unsealed to Sealed — The use of the Seal Device command instructs the
bq20z90/bq20z95 to limit access to the SBS functions and data flash space and sets the [SS] flag.
In sealed mode, standard SBS functions have access per the Smart Battery Data Specification -
Appendix A. Extended SBS Functions and data flash are not accessible. Once in sealed mode, the
part can never permanently return to Unsealed or Full Access modes.
2. Sealed to Unsealed — Instructs the bq20z90/bq20z95 to extend access to the SBS and data flash
space and clears the [SS] flag. In unsealed mode, all data, SBS, and DF have read/write access.
Unsealing is a 2 step command performed by writing the 1st word of the UnSealKey to
ManufacturerAccess followed by the second word of the UnSealKey to ManufacturerAccess. The
unseal key can be read and changed via the extended SBS block command UnSealKey when in
Full Access Mode. To return to the Sealed mode, either a hardware reset is needed, or the
ManufacturerAccess seal device command is needed to transit from Full Access or Unsealed to
Sealed.
3. Unsealed to Full Access — Instructs the bq20z90/bq20z95 to allow Full Access to all SBS commands
and data flash. The bq20z90/bq20z95 is shipped from TI in this mode. The keys for Unsealed to
Full Access can be read and changed via the extended SBS block command FullAccessKey when
in Full Access mode. Changing from Unsealed to Full Access is performed by using the
ManufacturerAccess command, by writing the 1st word of the FullAccessKey to
ManufacturerAccess followed by the second word of the FullAccessKey to ManufacturerAccess.
The full access key can be read and changed via the extended SBS block command
FullAccessKey when in Full Access Mode. In Full Access mode, the command to go to Boot ROM
can be sent.

2.8 Calibration

2.8.1 Coulomb Counter Dead Band

The bq20z90/bq20z95 does not accumulate charge or discharge for gas gauging when the current input is
below the dead-band current threshold. The threshold is programmed in CC Deadband (Coulomb Counter
Deadband) and should be set sufficiently high to prevent false signal detection with no charge or
discharge flowing through the sense resistor.
Related Variables:
• DF:Calibration:Current(107):CC Deadband(1)

2.8.2 Auto Calibration

The bq20z90/bq20z95 provides an auto-calibration feature to cancel the voltage offset error across SRP
and SRN for maximum charge measurement accuracy. The bq20z90/bq20z95 performs auto-calibration
when the SMBus lines stay low continuously for a minimum of 5 s and Temperature is within bounds of
Cal Inhibit Temp Low and Cal Inhibit Temp High.

2.9 Communications
The bq20z90/bq20z95 uses SMBus v1.1 with Master Mode and packet error checking (PEC) options per
the SBS specification.

2.9.1 SMBus On and Off State

The bq20z90/bq20z95 detects an SMBus off state when SMBC and SMBD are logic-low for ≥ 2 seconds.
Clearing this state requires either SMBC or SMBD to transition high. Within 1 ms, the communication bus
is available.

2.9.2 Packet Error Checking

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can receive or transmit data with or without PEC.
In the write-word protocol, if the host does not support PEC, the last byte of data is followed by a stop
condition. If the host does not support PEC, the [HPE] bit should be set to 0 (default).
In the write-word protocol, the bq20z90/bq20z95 receives the PEC after the last byte of data from the
host. If the host does not support PEC, the last byte of data is followed by a stop condition. After receipt of
the PEC, the bq20z90/bq20z95 compares the value to its calculation. If the PEC is correct, the
bq20z90/bq20z95 responds with an ACKNOWLEDGE. If it is not correct, the bq20z90/bq20z95 responds
with a NOT ACKNOWLEDGE and sets an error code. If the host supports PEC, the [HPE] bit should be
set to 1.
In the read-word and block-read in master mode, the host generates an ACKNOWLEDGE after the last
byte of data sent by the bq20z90/bq20z95. The bq20z90/bq20z95 then sends the PEC, and the host,
acting as a master-receiver, generates a NOT ACKNOWLEDGE and a stop condition.

The bq20z90/bq20z95 can broadcast messages to the smart battery charger and smart battery host. This
can be enabled with the [BCAST] bit.
PEC byte for alarm transmissions in master-mode to charger can be enabled with the [CPE] bit.

Data Flash

CAUTION
Care should be taken when mass programming the data flash space using
previous versions of data flash memory map files (such as *.gg files) to ensure
all public locations are updated correctly.

Data Flash can only be updated if Voltage ≥ Flash Update OK Voltage or PackVoltage ≥ Charger
Present. Data flash reads and writes are verified according to the method detailed in the "2nd Level
Protection Features" section of this data sheet.
Note: Data Flash updates are disabled when the [PF] SafetyStatus flag is set.

C.1 Accessing Data Flash

In different security modes, the data flash access conditions change. See ManufacturerAccess and
"Security" chapter for further details.
SECURITY MODE NORMAL DATA FLASH ACCESS
BootROM N/A
Full Access R/W
Unsealed R/W
Sealed N/A

C.1.1 Data Flash Interface

The bq20z90/bq20z95 data flash is organized into subclasses where each data flash variable is assigned
an offset within its numbered subclass. For example: the Pre-chg Temp threshold location is defined as:
• Class = Charge Control
• SubClass = Pre-Charge Cfg = 33
• Offset = 2
Note: Data Flash commands are NACK'ed if the bq20z90/bq20z95 is in sealed mode ([SS] flag is set).
Each subclass can be addressed individually by using the DataFlashSubClassID command and the data
within each subclass is accessed by using the DataFlashSubClassPage1..8 commands.
Reading and Writing subclass data are block operations which are each 32 Bytes long. Data can be
written in shorter block sizes, however. The final block in one subclass can be shorter than 32 bytes so
care must be taken not to write over the subclass boundary. None of the values written are bounded by
the bq20z90/bq20z95 and the values are not rejected by the gas gauge. Writing an incorrect value may
result in hardware failure due to firmware program interpretation of the invalid data. The data written is
persistent, so a Power On Reset does resolve the fault.

Accessing Data Flash

C.1.2 Reading a SubClass
Information required:
• SubClassID
• Number of bytes in the subclass
• Variable Offset
Procedure:
1. Write the SubClassID to bq20z90/bq20z95 using DataFlashSubClassID command.
2. Read a block of data using DataFlashSubClassPage1..8 command. A subclass can hold up to 256
bytes of data, but subclass data can only be read in 32 byte long data blocks. The
DataFlashSubClassPage1 command reads only the first 32 bytes in a subclass, the
DataFlashSubClassPage2 command reads the second 32 bytes in a subclass, and so on. For example
if the subclass has 40 bytes, DataFlashSubClassPage1 + DataFlashSubClassPage2 is needed to read
the whole subclass.

C.1.3 Writing a SubClass

Information required:
• SubClassID
• Number of bytes in the subclass
• 32 bytes of initialized data to be written. Less than 32 bytes is acceptable if a subclass contains less
than 32 bytes in the last block.
Procedure:
1. Write the SubClassID to bq20z90/bq20z95 using DataFlashSubClassID command.
2. Write a block of data using DataFlashSubClassPage1..8 command. A subclass can hold up to 256
bytes of data, but subclass data can only be write in 32 byte long data blocks. The
DataFlashSubClassPage1 command writes only the first 32 bytes in a subclass, the
DataFlashSubClassPage2 command writes the second 32 bytes in a subclass, and so on. For
example, if the subclass has 40 bytes and data in offset 34 of the subclass needs to be changed, use
DataFlashSubClassPage2 to write data from byte 32 - 40 of the subclass.

C.1.4 Example
To write the value of Term Voltage to a value of 8.7 V the following sequence is used.
Read complete Gas Gauging-IT Config subclass (SubclassID = 80) into RAM:
• Write Subclass ID
– SMB Slave Address (0x16)
– SMB CMD 0x77 with 0x0050 as data (=80 decimal)
• Read Subclass (2 blocks are needed as its over 32 bytes long)
– SMBSlave Address (0x16)
– SMB CMD 0x78 receiving 32 bytes of data
– SMB CMD 0x79 receiving 32 bytes of data
Overwrite offset 45 of received data with 8.7 V:
• Update offset 45 of second block with 0x21fc (=8700 decimal)
Write the complete subclass back to the bq20z90/bq20z95:
• Write Subclass ID
– SMB Slave Address (0x16)
– SMB CMD 0x77 with 0x0050 as data
• Write Subclass
– SMB Slave Address (0x17)
– SMB CMD 0x78 with 32 bytes of data
– SMB CMD 0x79 with 32 bytes of data

Alternatively, only the required block rather than the full subclass can be accessed.
Read required block of Gas Gauging-IT Config subclass (SubclassID = 80) into RAM:
• Write Subclass ID

– SMB CMD 0x77 with 0x0050 as data (=80 decimal)
• Read Subclass (2nd block is needed as its offset 45)
– SMB Slave Address (0x16)
– SMB CMD 0x79 receiving 32 bytes of data
Overwrite offset (45 - 32 = 13) of received data with 8.7 V:
• Update offset 45 with 0x21fc (= 8700 decimal)
Write the updated block back to the bq20z90/bq20z95:
• Write Subclass ID
– SMB Slave Address (0x17) SMB CMD 0x77 with 0x0050 as data
• Write Subclass
– SMB Slave Address (0x17)
– SMB CMD 0x79 with 32 bytes of data

RSOCL — This bit determines the method in which RelativeStateOfCharge and RemainingCapacity are
updated to 100% when charging is complete.
0 = If the [RSOCL] bit in Operation Cfg C is cleared then RelativeStateofCharge and
RemainingCapacity are not held at 99% until primary charge termination occurs.
Fractions of % greater than 99% are rounded up to display 100%.
1 = If the [RSOCL] bit in Operation Cfg C is set then RelativeStateofCharge and
RemainingCapacity are held at 99% until primary charge termination occurs and only
displays 100% upon entering primary charge termination.

Note: PRE_ZT_PF_En - If this bit is set to 0, and a Permanent Failure does occur, PFStatus will
still report that the failure has occurred. Also, if the FETs have been turned on, they will
turn off if a failure occurs. However, dataflash write access is still granted and the
Permanent Failure is NOT logged in the PF Status section of dataflash. The PFStatus
indicator will clear and the FETs will turn on once ManufacturerAccess(0x00) has received
the IT Enable (0x0021) command or the Reset (0x0041) command, assuming the
Permanent Failure condition no longer exists.

The flags in the PF Flags 1 register indicate the reason that the bq20z90/bq20z95 has entered permanent
failure. If the failure flag in PF Flags 1 matches the bit in Permanent Fail Cfg the SAFE pin is driven high
and the Fuse Flag is set to 0x3672. The SAFE pin can be used to blow an optional fuse in a severe
failure condition to prevent more damage of the system.
All permanent failure flags in the failure sequence are stored in PF Flags 1. Only the first permanent
failure flag in a failure sequence is stored in PF Flags 2 to indicate the cause of the permanent failure.

 IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements,
improvements, and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice.
Customers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All products are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s
standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this
warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should
provide adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask
work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services
are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI 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 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. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an
unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties
may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business
practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would
reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement
specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications
of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related
requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any
applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its
representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is
solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in
connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products
are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any
non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
