BQ25629: OTG Boost not working

Part Number: BQ25629

Tool/software:

In our design, we are relying on OTG boost to drive 5V on PMID and VBUS...

When we set reg 0x18 charge_control_2 to 0x44 to turn on the EN_OTG bit, nothing happens with the PMID and VBUS voltage... They stay at about 0.5V below the VBAT.

When we set reg 0x18 charge_control_2 to 0x84 to turn on the EN_BYPASS_OTG, again nothing happens to PMID or VBUS... they stay about 0.5V below VBAT.

When we set reg 0x18 charge_control_2 to 0xC4 to turn on both EN_OTG and EN_BYPASS_OTG, then PMID and VBUS go to the VBAT voltage.

How do we get the BOOST to enable?

  • Hi Lane,

    Has all the boost operation conditions listed on 8.3.6.1 Boost OTG Mode are met?

    1. What the VBAT pin voltage and OTG load current when set EN_OTG=1?

    2. Do you test with a real battery or battery simulator?

    3. What are all the register readings after setting EN_OTG=1? Any fault??

    Thanks,

    Ning

    We will take some measurements to make sure....

    1. What the VBAT pin voltage and OTG load current when set EN_OTG=1?

    VBAT is a fully charged battery, so around 4.2V. There is no OTG load as of yet.

    2. Do you test with a real battery or battery simulator?

    Real battery.

    3. What are all the register readings after setting EN_OTG=1? Any fault??

    Which registers would you like us to check the status of?

  • Hi,

    All register readings would be ideal or at least the following registers.

    Thanks,

    Ning.
