Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25750, BQ25792, USB-C-PD-DUO-EVM
Hi again,
I was still hoping to get a sample configuration for the EVM for a battery pack (i.e., supports charging and discharging, doesn't have any data). I would want to demonstrate both charging and discharging working at a variety of voltages. Here is basically what I'm looking for:
1) A 4s battery pack (16.8V charging)
2) Max sourcing at different voltages (3A+ at 5, 9, 15, and 20V).
3) Max sinking at different voltages. If I understand correctly, that would be 3A at 5V, 9V, or 15V; and 5A at 20V (if not, whatever the max values are for this set of parts).
With the 7.0.3 version of the tool, all of my generated files do not work for discharging at all - the voltage alternates between 0 and 5V, but I don't get any current. Conversely, I do see good charging results (via my phone charger at 5V, and laptop charger at 20V).
I loaded an old binary (made with the 7.0.2 tool) that I got discharging to work with before, and that still works fine for discharging (up to 3A for 5, 9, 15, and 20V); it still doesn't work for charging. I regenerated the same config with the 7.0.3 tool, and it no longer discharged at all (0 and 5V alternating, no current), and it did charge.
Is anyone having success with the TPS configuration tool?
I attached a zip containing two versions of the configuration: eric_chg and eric_dsg (both bin and json), for reference, although I'm beginning to think that these configurations matter a lot less than the tool, and perhaps identifying what combinations of settings it works for.
Thanks,
