BQ25792: OVP_STAT

Part Number: BQ25792
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25750,

Hi

using the BQ25792 device without the TPS25750.

when i'm trying to charge after a few seconds the VBAT_OVP_STAT bit in register 20H and VSYS_OVP_STAT bit in register 21H are set to '1'.

in this state, the battery is being discharged.

nothing i'v done or wrote to the registers helped accept changing the VINDPM_7:0 value to higher value then should be.

at that state, there is no charge or discharge from the battery.

Thanks

Inon

  • Hello Inon,

    Please capture a full register sweep with the ADC Enabled. Pay attention to the applied battery voltage and the REG01 Charge Voltage Limit.

  • Hello Inon,

    Can you also provide a schematic and how you are not using the TPS25750 but using the BQ25792 only?

    Regards,

    Mike Emanuel

  • Hi Mike

    here is the design for the BQ25792.

    the I2C is connected to a CPLD able to read and write.

  • Hi Inon,

    Based on the provided register dump, I see that the VBAT OVP (REG20) is triggered but the ADC VBAT reading (REG3B: 7754mV) is lower than the charge voltage setting (REG01: 8400mV).

    When we saw this kind of problem in the past it was likely due to damaged BAT/BATP pin. Can you test again with a new chip?

    Remember to enable the ShipFET functionality in REG14 as you have ShipFET present in your schematic.

    Regards

  • Hi Tommy

    i found out that i'm writing to the BQ to soon after the power go up.

    i'v added a sleep of 10sec before configuration of the BQ and it helped.

    now the device is charging to full battery voltage with no problem.

    tnx

    Inon
