Hello E2E-Forum,
our company is using the battery charger IC (Package name BQ25611DRTWR) in a new product and we encountered an issue using the software register reset.
The below table provides the register values of different sources, the hardware and datasheet:
| Register | 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c |
| Hard reset (POR) | 17 1a 91 22 40 9e e6 4c 65 85 80 54 75 |
| Soft reset (REG_RST) | 04 1a 91 22 40 9e e6 4c 65 85 80 54 75 |
| Datasheet section titles | 17 1a 91 12 40 9e e6 4c 00 00 00 00 75 |
| Datasheet field descriptions | 17 1a 91 22 40 9e e6 4c 00 00 00 00 75 |
Red: Errors
Grey: Ignore
Hard reset is read directly after a complete reset (no power to the system). Values are ok and as expected.
Soft reset is read after setting bit REG_RST of the 'Part Information Register' (0x0B) and it being cleared again. Value of 'Input Current Limit Register' (0x00) is wrong -> Current too low for device to operate correctly.
The datasheet section title '9.5.4 Pre-charge and Termination Current Limit Register (Address = 03h) [reset = 12h]' is wrong. The reset value should be 22h instead of 12h.
The register values were read from two prototype boards with the same results.
As a workaround we just set the register 0x00 to 0x17 after soft reset.
Since we could not find information on this behavior, we want to make know if this issue is reproducible by others and an issue with the IC series itself.
We also wanted to pass on the datasheet error.
Best regards,
Thorsten Fuchs
