BQ25171-Q1: BQ25171-Q1: application questions

Part Number: BQ25171-Q1

Hello Nick,

Thank you very much for your answer!

I am sorry, I have additional question about BQ25171_CE pin.

Is the situation acceptable, when BQ25171_CE (3V3) > BQ25171_Vin (0V) and BQ52171_CE (3V3) > BQ52171_OUT (0V) very long? May be damage of BQ25171 in this situation?

The situation when BQ25171_Vin = 0 / BQ25171_OUT = 0V (battery is absent) / BQ25171_CE = 3V3 (CE pin controls from out CPU) may continue very long.

Best regards,

Ruslan,

Developer engineer, Fort-Telecom, Perm, Russia.

  • Hello Nick,

    Thank you very much for your answer!

    I am sorry,

    In old question was situation when BQ25171_Vin = 0 / BQ25171_OUT = 2V (battery is present) / BQ25171_CE = 3V3 (CE pin controls from out CPU) may continue very long.

    In new question is situation when BQ25171_Vin = 0 / BQ25171_OUT = 0V (battery is absent) / BQ25171_CE = 3V3 (CE pin controls from out CPU) may continue very long. I.e., there are no power supplies for BQ25171 (on IN/OUT pins), but there is voltage at BQ25171_CE = 3V3 input pin!

    I am sorry again. Can I repeat my new questions, please?

    • Is the situation acceptable, when BQ25171_CE (3V3) > BQ25171_Vin (0V) and BQ52171_CE (3V3) > BQ52171_OUT (0V) very long?
    • May be damage of BQ25171 in this situation? The situation when BQ25171_Vin = 0 / BQ25171_OUT = 0V (battery is absent) / BQ25171_CE = 3V3 (CE pin controls from out CPU) may continue very long.
    • Can the chip BQ25171 be parasitic powered from BQ25171_CE contact?
    • May BQ25171 chip not correctly operate after this situation? When IN or OUT voltage will be served after this situation.

     Best regards,

    Ruslan.

  • Hello Ruslan,

    Thank you for clarifying this. I will run a test on this in lab next week. You can expect to hear back then.

    Thanks,

    Nick

  • Hello Ruslan,

    BQ25171_Vin = 0 / BQ25171_OUT = 0V (battery is absent) / BQ25171_CE = 3V3 (CE pin controls from out CPU) may continue very long. I.e., there are no power supplies for BQ25171 (on IN/OUT pins), but there is voltage at BQ25171_CE = 3V3 input pin!

    In this condition there is no abnormal leakage into the pin, <1 uA. The abs max rating on /CE pin is 5.5V and this is not dependent on any other voltages. As long as the /CE pin stays under this rating there will be no damage to the device.

    Best regards,

    Nick
