EMB1428Q: Use EMB1428 alone, swtich not enable

Part Number: EMB1428Q

Hi:

I use EMB1428 without emb1499 . En is connected to GPIO-INPUT of MCU, DONE and RST are connected to  GPIO-OUTPUT of MCU, and DIR is connected to DIR_RT through inverter, all three digital fault signals are pulled down to the ground. I haven't connected the battery yet. I only connected Vstack(24V), 12V and 5V. The control process after power on is:

1. Set done and RST to high;

2. Set RST low;

3. Set CS low;

4. SPI sending and receiving data, 0x10;

5. Set CS high;

6. Delay 3ms, set done to high;

7. Wait for en to be high;

8. Set done to low;

Every time,correct reply 0xa1 can be received, and it can be observed that cext1 and cext2 have square wave output; Measure that the voltage between S and G of CSW0 is 12V, the voltage between S and g of CSW1 is 0V, and the voltage between S, G and GND is 41V,so CSW0 is enable; Then after a few seconds, CSW1 is enable,PSW3 and PSW1 are also enable. At this time, EN changes to high level, MCU set  DONE  to low level, and uses external DC / DC for equalization. But  the time from CSW0 enable to CSW1 enable is so long?

After open all switches, send 0x20-0x70 again to enable other switches. As a result, CSW1, CSW3, CSW5 and CSW7 can be enable, and the voltage between S and G is 12V. CSW2, CSW4 and CSW6 cannot be enable, the voltage between S and G is 0V, and the voltage between S, G and GND is 41V. But EMB1428 set  EN high.Why?

  • Hi Li,

    As mentioned in other posts related to this topic, the EMB1428 device is intended as a tandem device with the EMB1499 so we have limited support available for this topic. Can you identify if it is possible to follow our reference material for using the EMB1499? 

    Regards,
