BQ27426: Some questions about fcc

Part Number: BQ27426

hello:

When we conducted the power-off restart experiment on gauge ic (BQ27426),The following exceptions are found in the fcc:
When the battery is idle(no charge and no discharge), if the gauge ic is powered off and restarted, the fcc has a large difference before and after the ic restart
The test steps are as follows:
1.The fcc value is read from the ic(value is 865)
2.Power off Gauge ic
3.wait 10ms
4.Power on Gauge ic
5.wait 300ms
6.load FlashStream file
7.The fcc value is read from the ic(value is 698)
What is the reason for the big difference between the fcc before and after the ic restart?

After many experiments, we found that by increasing the delay time in Step 5 to 3000ms,
The fcc before and after the restart is basically the same, is this solution feasible?
If so, is there a theoretical basis? If not, are there other solutions?


The above description can be seen in the following figure:

       

  • Hello Wang, 

    After power cycling the device, you should wait for the INITCOMP bit to be set before loading the flash stream. 3000 ms is enough time for this bit to get set whereas 300 ms is most likely not enough time for this bit to set. If you want to have the shortest wait time, then you should delay until the INITCOMP bit is set then load the flash stream.
