BQ24133: Question about BQ24133

Part Number: BQ24133

Tool/software:

Hello:

The customer encountered a case of BQ24133 charging anomaly. The abnormal phenomenon was that STAT reported an error, output a 0.5Hz square wave, and the external indicator light flashed.
1. Current investigation:
Currently investigating the abnormalities that may be caused by the specification: INput over-voltage, Battery over-voltage, battery absent, they are all normal.
In addition, I would like to ask whether the timer fault may cause anomalies? What is the reason?
Or are there any other situations that can trigger the abnormality?
2. It is currently found that the faulty device will cause problems when paired with a specific battery, but replacing the faulty device and the battery that can trigger the fault with other devices can charge normally.

What needs to be checked about the battery detection part? Thank you! ! !

  • Hi Jimmy,

    Can you request a oscillscope plot of STAT, PVCC, SRN?  Does this only occur when the battery is near full charge? If so, when the battery itself and/or connection from SRN pin to battery is highly resistive, the termination current may be high enough for this resistance to push the charge into termination. When this current is gone, the charger starts a recharge cycle. 

    TTC is pulled high so the safety timer is disabled.

    Regards,

    Jeff
