4.5 Safety Cell Overvoltage Permanent Fail
The bq78350-R1 uses the OV Protection function of the companion AFE for this feature and can be
configured to permanently disable the battery in the case of severe overvoltage in any of the cells. This
feature cannot be disabled.
The voltage threshold setting is set in AFE SOV:Threshold, which the device will map to the available
settings in the companion AFE with the maximum setting of 4703 mV and the minimum of 3140 mV.
The delay timing configuration for this feature is combined in the same register with the delay time of the
Safety Undervoltage feature.
