BQ25622: Inquiry about BQ25622 operation during board test

Part Number: BQ25622

Hi, TI support team

The customer confirms the operation by inputting Vbus after SMT and before MCU software writing.

(Are these tests suitable for verifying normal operation?)

Problems during operation are as follows.

[Condition]

- Battery is not connected.

- There is almost no load towards Vsys. (The system is not operating.)

[Symptom]

[regular product]

Vsys=4.2V

BAT=4.2V

TS_BIAS=periodic high waveform

VBUS=5V

REGN=5V

[Irregular product]

Vsys=3.7V

BAT=0V

TS_BIAS=0V

VBUS=5V

REGN=5V

QON=high

I will upload additional circuit diagrams as they become available.

Please review.

Thanks.

Regards,

MJ

  • MJ,

    For the Irregular product, what does the device part number ID (REGx38[5:3]) read?

    Thanks,

    Ning.

  • Hi, Ning

    The test condition is a state in which the software has not yet been written to the MCU.

    The part is BQ25622.

    Is it okay to test without BQ25622 register setting?

    Why is it measured like the condition I first inquired about?

    Thanks.

    Regards,

    MJ

  • Hi, Ning

    I have further inquiries.

    After the SMT of the product, we are testing to ensure that the charging operation is performed during the initial test.

    Q. Basically, are the registers of the BQ25622 set to default? (Are only some of them set?)

    If not, how should I proceed during the initial test?


    We will share the relevant information regarding the problem you inquired above.

    The applied application's system power is connected to VBAT.

    (I am not using VSYS.)

    In other words, it is a structure in which the system operates while the battery is connected and there is VBUS input.

    In a board judged to be normal, if VBUS is input and the battery is connected, charging is performed and the system is operating with VBAT power.

    [SW waveform]

    In a board judged to be defective, VBUS is input and the battery is not charged even if the battery is connected. (VBAT=0V)

    [SW waveform]

    (It does not happen periodically.)

    I suspected it was HI-Z mode, but when I checked the register, the register was set to 0.

    As for the TS pin, NTC was not actually used, but HW setting was made through resistor distribution as shown below, and the normal and defective

    settings are the same. However, in case of defects, it is recognized as high temp.

    In case of normal product, high signal is generated periodically and Temp. is detected. (TS_BIAS power supply is present)

    In the case of a defective product, the TS_BIAS power supply is 0V and the waveform that the TS pin checks periodically is not measured.

    Which part is the problem?

    This is an additional confirmation.

    [Normal sample]

    -INT : 2.5V

    -CE : low

    -STAT: low

    -PG : low

    [bad sample]

    - INT: slow swing waveform

    -CE : low

    - STAT: slow swing waveform

    - PG : slow swing waveform

    - Waveform

    Please let me know if there is anything else I need to check.

    Please review.

    Thanks.

  • MJ,

    Please read the device part number ID (REGx38[5:3]) before continue debugging. Please refer to https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1239152/bq25622-improperly-marked-bq25622-are-actually-bq25620 and your company should be notified also.

    Thanks,

    Ning.

  • Hi, Ning

    Thank you for your reply.

    We checked part information register of several products.

    We confirmed that REGx38[5:3] of abnormal products is 0h.

    But top marking information of datasheet is different from actual items.

    Can the top marking information of the two parts be verified for authenticity?

    Please Check.

    Thanks.

    Regards,

    MJ

  • MJ,

    It looks like the ICs are improperly marked. Please refer to https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1239152/bq25622-improperly-marked-bq25622-are-actually-bq25620 and your company should be notified also. Please contact the related personnel directly.

    Thanks,

    Ning.
