BQ76952: Sometimes the initialization is not work .

Part Number: BQ76952

Dear Expert

We designed a BMS board, and after the electroreposition, sometimes the initial transformation is reactive, sometimes the initialization is not work.

If the initial transformation is done, the alert signal will be generated, and the normal read-write bq76952 register is set.

Without work, through MCU's single-step tracking debugging, the discovery sent bq76952 address 0x10 without an ack return.

The reset signal is made by MCU gpio for 100ms high level, connected to the rst_shut pin of bq76952.

How should you set up the bq76952 after the power initialization or reset?

The initialization process is as follows:

Ts2 pull low 60ms

Enter configuration mode

configure

Exit configuration mode

Measure the reg18 voltage, which is 1.8v.

When the i2c bus sends 0x10, it still doesn't receive an ack signal.

In addition, the low side mosfet control made by using low-side fets with the bq76952 battery monitor familyis.

In addition, it is normal to connect MCU with evmcu and i2c communication through a flying line.

  • Hello Gabriel,

    Can you explain more? You are able to enter config_update mode and configure the device, and after configuring the device is not able to communicate?

    What are you configuring? If you are able to communicate to configurate it, it should not have any issues.

    Which BQ76952 part are you using? Does it require CRC? If so, are you sending the CRC?

    Best Regards,

  • Dear Luis

    1. The model we use is bq76952PFBR, with I2C communication and no CRC check.

    2. The problem is that I2C communication is not successful. If the I2C communication is successful, the configuration is not a problem.

    3. For these three batches, pls help to check whether the Date Code will influence the I2C communication.

  • Hello Gabriel,

    The date should not affect the devices unless there were defects in the IC. How often does I2C fail? Does it fail on only a few parts? Or do some parts fail sometimes and work other times?

    If you managed to connect these to the EVM, it is unlikely that there's an issue with the IC.
