General Description
The bq2158T provides a complete solution for the supervision of two series Li-Ion cells. Designed for battery
pack integration, the bq2158T incorporates a bq2058T
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 bq2058T
data sheet for specific information on the operation of
the bq2058T.
Unitrode configures the bq2158T based on the informa
-
tion in Table 1.

Preliminary
Operation
The bq2158T monitors each series element for undervoltage, over-voltage, and over-current conditions. If a
cell falls below V
UV
for t
UVD
, the bq2158T enters into
sleep mode. The bq2158T wakes up and enables dis
-
charge 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 bq2158T turns
the discharge FET off if the steady state load current ex
-
ceeds I
OC
for t
OCD
and turns it back on if the load is re
-
moved.
