Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ76920
Hello,
we have a battery pack based on bq78350R2 where we use the HCFET feature to control the charge mode or discharge mode.
We have an issue in charge mode when the battery is in the precharge area.
When we set the battery in charge mode, we send a HCFET command with the value of 5 meaning to allow both the charge (bit-0) and precharge (bit-2) whichever is applicable.
When the battery is in precharge and reaches the threshold to quit, we notice the Precharge FET to go OFF but we don't see the CHARGE FET to go ON automatically, unless we issue another time the HCFET command. But the problem is that if we are not fast enough we may confuse some chargers that for a while they see the battery not accepting any charge.
Is there a workaround to have a smooth and automatic transition between precharge and charge while in HCFET mode ?
Thanks in advance
Pietro
