Tool/software:
Dear,
We will use the BQ298009, but we do not want to use the CTR functionality. I understand that we can tie the CTR pin to ground, this should keep it on.
But how can we turn on the discharge and charge mosfets after a battery is inserted (and no charger is present)? What will happen in the case of a battery that is empty (2.5V), does it automatically start charging with CTR being low? Or will it require a reset?
We cannot give a pulse on CTR with the microcontroller, because it isn't getting power as long as the DSG mosfet is off.
Best regards,
Jan
