The bq77PL900 has two low dropout (LDO) regulators that provide power to both internal and external circuitry.
The inputs for these regulators can be derived from the PACK or BAT terminals (see the Initialization section for
further details). The output of REG1 is typically 5 V, with a minimum output capacitance of 2.2 µ F required for
stable operation. It is also internally current-limited. During normal operation, the regulator limits the output
current, typically to 25 mA. The output of REG2 is typically 3.3 V, also with a minimum output capacitance of 2.2
µ F for stable operation, and it is also internally current-limited.
Until the internal regulator circuit is correctly powered, the DSG and CHG FETs are driven OFF.
From a shutdown situation, the bq77PL900 requires a voltage greater that the start-up voltage (V
STARTUP
) applied
to the PACK pin to enable its integrated regulator and provide the regulator power source. Once the REG1 and
REG2 outputs become stable, the power source of the regulator is switched to BAT.
After the regulators have started, they then continue to operate through the BAT input. If the BAT input is below
the minimum operating range, then the bq77PL900 does not operate until the supply to the PACK input is
applied.
If the voltage at REG2 falls, the internal circuit turns off the CHG and DSG FETs and disables all controllable
functions, including the REG1, REG2, and TOUT outputs.
