Frequently asked questions

What charging temperature ranges are defined for the bq20z60-R1/bq20z65-R1?

The device follows JEITA guidelines with four ranges: low (T1‑T2), standard 1 (T2‑T3), standard 2 (T3‑T4), and high (T4‑above), configurable via JT1‑JT4 constants.

How does the IC protect against cell overvoltage?

It detects an overvoltage condition and, after an adjustable time, switches off the charge/discharge FET; it recovers when the voltage falls below the recovery threshold.

Which communication interface is used by the bq20z60-R1/bq20z65-R1?

The IC uses the SMBus protocol, with a defined slave address and a full set of SBS commands.
