  • Hello Star,

    Can you explain further why the fuse operation is broken? The FUSE bit will set from either external secondary protector or the gauge, even if FUSE_EN = 0 the FUSE bit will still set from secondary protector. Also the PTC is populated on the schematic, PTC is a hardware protection and will still blow the fuse if conditions are met and FUSE_EN = 0.

    Can you share the whole schematic? There is no fuse circuitry shown in the image shared.

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller
