BQ76952: Some registers not importing in BQSTUDIO

Part Number: BQ76952
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO,

I've encountered what looks like a bug in BQSTUDIO. At least two of the registers do not import from file:

  • Calibration:Current:CC Gain
  • Calibration:Current:Capacity Gain

I can put a value in and write to the BQ76952. I can read it back from the BQ76952. I can see the value in the exported CSV file. But when I try to import the file, it seems to just ignore the value from the CSV.

I verified that this is the case for the latest version (1.3.111.1). I understand that this is a TEST version (not a STABLE version), but the latest STABLE version doesn't support the BQ76952 firmware yet, so we have to use the TEST version.

For now our workaround is to load the config, then change those two registers manually.

On a related topic, the TRM says that Capacity Gain is just CC Gain multiplied by a constant, but in bqStudio, what should the value be? Should it just be the sense resistor value just like the CC Gain register (e.g. 1mOhm for both if you have a 1mOhm sense resistor)?

  • Hello Alex,

    We recommend that calibration must be performed from the calibration tab in bqStudio to set these values. bqStudio is designed to ignore calibration values during import. Calibration values are specific to the board, so those should not be overwritten. We recommend that calibration must be performed from the calibration tab in bqStudio to set these values.  This behavior can be changed from "Preferences" menu .

  • I see it now; that's much better. I'll test this out!
