Hi Wade,
Before the start of the .aux generation, all cells must be balanced as close as possible. The aux file generation tools and Qmax / Ra computations take into account the slight variations in cell voltages that are expected.
So the slight…
Hi Heye,
FCC and RC updates during SM-Bus low periods will be extremely infrequent.
The FCC and RC updates reliably occur during the condistions outlined in the TRM (Page 78):
An update to FCC and RemCap is performed whenever the following happens…
Read document SLUU330b about the Algorithm Enable Register. Plus, make sure there are no safety rules violations present that would be holding the MOSFETs off.
The DIMM is not sold separately.
You may want to remove the DIMM and then power the base board. At this point double check that all voltages are looking good. Remove power.
Reinsert the DIMM and apply power in the sequence shown in the attachment…
Hi Mathieu,
to switch on the cells in the right order is a common advice von TI, but its not really a sign of a good chipdesign. The chip should not be malfunction just because a short power down due to a weak contact occured.
Anyway we have found…
Hi All
Now I just receved BQ76PL116 EVM and Testing.
But I have question for Battery ( Dummy Cell ) and Power Supply conenct.
This EVM board has PACK (+) (-) / Battery (+) (-) , I think Battery Cahrger need connect to PACK(+) (-) Terminal.
…
Hi Ken,
I am assuming you are using the bqWizard utility.
For the Software to calculate the right SOC, you will need to have the SOC (Gauaging) Algorithm learn your particular cell configuration and characteristics.
This is achieved by running…
Hi Andreas,
Another option is to use the API Demo. This allows you to edit the SMBus Address.
Or you could edit the bqWizard.ini 9ensure to save a copy of the original) file. Change the following line to the desired address
; bqWizard Target…
