BQ25886: Technical issues

Part Number: BQ25886

Hi team,

I got a question from customer.

When using bq25886 to charge two lithium batteries, we encountered the following problems:

The 1A charging current (external adapter) is only 290ma, and it is useless to adjust the ground resistance of ichgset. The circuit diagram is as follows:

remarks:

  1. 5v5a DC power supply is used. The battery power is very low, and the open circuit voltage of the battery is only 7V.
  2. When charging, the voltage of regn is 5V (normal), 2-pin stat and 9-pin PG are normal (both pins are to the ground, and the indicator light is always on). The charging current is abnormal.
  3. R13 is not welded (because 3-pin is low enable), 3-pin CE and 5-pin OTG have no input signal (3-pin flying wire grounding has also been tried, the situation is the same).
  4. Short circuit on 24 pin and 1-pin circuit boards, and then try to connect 1.8V, 5V, grounded or suspended according to the circuit diagram.
  5. If the charger is connected first and then the battery is connected, the adapter terminal current can reach 770ma.
  6. 15, 16 pin sys voltage: connected to the battery (whether connected to the adapter or not) is equal to the battery voltage, not connected to the battery, only connected to the adapter is 6.3V.
  7. The "V5.0" connected by pins 21 and 22 in the circuit diagram is not connected with any circuit.
  8. The 6-pin Vset is suspended and the 8-pin Ilim is grounded( It is allowed on chip data)
  9. The capacitors and inductors on the PCB are arranged in strict accordance with the requirements of the device data. The attribute values of each device have been checked repeatedly, and the accuracy of the selected devices is 1%.

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

  • Hi Zhonghui,

     

    Please remove R12 and R16, and leave the D+/D- pins shorted together. Can you reach the full 1A ICHG setting after making this change?

     

    Also, do you have any system load connected to VSYS? If so, how much current does the system load draw?

     

    Aside from that, I have a few other comments on your schematic, but I don't think this will affect the issue that you're facing:

    • Your schematic has more capacitance than needed on VBUS and PMID. You can remove 10 uF from VBUS, and 2x10 uF from PMID.
    • We typically suggest 4.7 uF for the REGN capacitor instead of 10 uF.
    • To enable charging, please pull /CE to GND instead of leaving /CE floating.

    Best regards,

    Angelo
