Because the bq77910 was designed from the ground up to be used in high-power Li-Ion applications, it incorporates many unique features. One of the important characteristics is that it can be programmed to operate with any type of Lithium-Ion cell. Many new different types of chemical systems (e.g. LiFePO4, Spinel, NMC, or titanate) are emerging and becoming popular now. These systems can have widely variable voltage ranges, so the bq77910 safety thresholds can be programmed to whatever is needed for a given type of cell or application. Once the EEPROM values are programmed during pack assembly, the settings remain permanently stored for the life of the battery.
