BQ76952: Adjacent Cell Balancing Issues Manual Mode

Part Number: BQ76952


Hello, 

We are using the BQ76952 chip in manual mode. According to the datasheet, adjacent cells can be balanced. However, while we are testing, we can get every other cell to balance at the same time (all even cells or all odd cells), but never any adjacent cells. We run into an issue where one balancing channel activates and the other does not. What are we missing?

Thanks!

This is a snippet of the design we are using:

Here is what the gate voltage looks like for cells being activated (Q11-yellow/Q8-blue)
