BQ25756: BQ25756 I2C control guide and behavior in detail

Part Number: BQ25756
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25750,

Hi Expert,

My customer try to study BQ25756 & BQ25750 and they want to know more I2C function mode to control discharge function.

Do we have any guide or paper to go through this in detail ?  

Eddie

  • HI Chao,

    Can you explain more about "control discharge function"?  The BQ25756 discharges when in (1) battery only, automatically or (2) reverse/OTG mode, after I2C write to enter reverse mode.

  • Hi Jeff,

    They want to know how we do the discharge function by I2C ? any basic guide or where have data can know more detail step by step ?

  • Hi Eddie,

    I assume you want to know how to enter reverse mode to use the battery to provide a regulated voltage back to the charger input.  If so, from datasheet section 8.3.6 Reverse Mode Power Direction:

    The reverse mode operation can be enabled if the following conditions are valid:

    1. SRN pin (battery voltage) above 3 V

    2. DRV_SUP voltage within valid operating window (VDRV_UVP < VDRV < VDRV_OVP).

    3. Voltage at TS (thermistor) pin is within range configured by Reverse Temperature Monitor as configured by BHOT and BCOLD register bits in REG0x1D

    I recommend the following I2C writes:

    1. Set the reverse mode input voltage regulation point, VAC_REC, in REG0x0C-0D

    2. Set the reverse mode output current regulation (clamp) point, IAC_REV, in REG0xA-0B if sense resistor is installed (optional)

    3. Set the battery discharge current regulation (clamp) point, IBAT_REV, in REG0x62

    4. Disable charge using EN_CHG bit in REG0x17(0)

    5. Enable reverse mode using EN_REV in REG0x19(0).

  • Hi Expert,

    One quick question

    May I know these two kind of mode for discharge function that is use IC or Mosfet to do ? (1 battery only, automatically or 2 reverse/OTG mode)

    Eddie

  • Hi Eddie,

    The discharge modes are:

    1. automatic battery only

    2. automatic supplement mode if the system load is too much for the input power provided

    3. host controlled reverse/OTG mode.
