BQ28Z610: Initialization problem: Won't discharge

Part Number: BQ28Z610
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ25895

Tool/software:

I have a design using the 610 as a battery gauge. I haven't yet been able to get it to allow discharge. Initially it would not charge, but I've gotten past that. I have the battery management studio connected.  I am using a 3.7v LiPo cell. I've provided a screen shot of the registers and a gg file showing the data memory. I see that the CUV error is set, but my battery voltage shows 3.7v while my CUV threshold is 2500. I installed ChemID 1643, as it's LiPo, but it's surely not completely correct. I need to get it to discharge in order to run the learning cycle described in SLUA777.

Do you see anything obvious? How to clear the CUV?

  • Hello Chuck, 

    Can you please provide me with the bqStudio log file that highlights the described behavior? 

    Regards, 

    Robert. 

  • Here's a log file recorded with battery management studio. The system has a 3.7v cell attached, but it doesn't start when that is connected. I have to apply the charging voltage (via a BQ51013BRHLR and BQ25895) to get everything to boot.  When that voltage is applied I get the data from the 610. Even though the battery is charged (3.8v), the discharge FET is blocking current from the battery. We've checked the schematic against the reference and that all looks good.

  • Hey Chuck, 

    Your issue is likely caused by the CUV protection being set. If the CUV protection is set, then the DSG FET will get opened and you will be prevented from discharging further. I recommend referring to the device TRM for the conditions that need to be met in order for the CUV protection to clear. 

    Regards, 

    Robert.
