General Description
The bq2158 provides a complete solution for the supervision of three or four series Li-Ion cells. Designed for battery pack integration, the bq2158 incorporates a bq2058
Pack Supervisor, two FETs, and all other components required to monitor overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent conditions. The board provides direct
connections for the negative and positive terminals of
each cell. See Figure 1. Please refer to the bq2058 data
sheet for specific information on the operation of the
bq2058.
Unitrode configures the bq2158 based on the informa
-

Operation
The bq2158 monitors each series element for undervoltage, over-voltage, and over-current conditions. If a
cell falls below V
UV
for t
UVD
, the bq2158 enters into
sleep mode. The bq2158 wakes up and enables discharge
if a voltage, V
CD
higher than the battery voltage, is applied across POS and NEG. Charging is disabled if a cell
exceeds V
OV
for t
OVD
, and can resume when the cell falls
below the V
CE
threshold. The bq2158 turns the discharge FET off if the steady state load current exceeds
I
OC
for t
OCD
and turns it back on if the load is removed.
