BQ25751: BQ25751 and 4 MOSFET were easily damaged under boost charging mode

Part Number: BQ25751

Tool/software:

Hi,

I used BQ25751 for lead acid battery charging/ power path management prototype board, the nominal input voltage is 48Vdc, the charging voltage is set for 56VDC, during testing and debugging, I found the BQ25751&MOSFET were very easily damaged with a very small charging current load like 500mA.

1,Both external power supply and lead-acid battery can supply the system individually, but if I started to charge the battery by enable "charging" conditions like by plugging the temperature sensor and set the charging current to 500mA, the IC will be damaged.

2,I changed the resistor to ensure it can work within the input voltage range(12V-50V), and also changed the FB resistor to make it work as a buck battery charger, I set the external power supply to 36V, the charge voltage to 30V,we found the BQ25751 can charge the battery (reduce the number of battery cells at the same time) with different charging current.

3,I set the external DC power supply to 18V and changed the FB resistor to make it work as a boost battery charger, set the charge voltage to 27V, the BQ25751 can charging the battery with different charging current.

But if I set the charging voltage to 56V ( and set the external power supply to 48V ), the BQ25751 and MOSFETs will be damaged very easily.

I attached schematics and data log captured on damaged board for your reference.

Thanks

Kelvin

    The MOSFET we used is BSC340N08NS3-G, the Vds is 80V, it is different with the MOSFET used on TI demo board, on TI demo board the Vds of mosfet is 100V

    Hello Lesheng,

    Have you tried testing this on an EVM?

    Have you tried using the FETS that are on the EVM?

    Best Regards,

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    The MOSFET we used is different with EVM board, we used BSC340N08NS3-G from Infinion, the Vds is 80V, however the Vds of mosfet used on EVM is 100V.

    The EVM was designed not support to work with 56V battery charger, I have to do some hand work modification.

    Thanks

    I set the e-load to CC mode and connected to the board, after I power up the board with an external DC power supply 48V, at the beginning I can see the charge voltage is 56V, but after a few second the charging voltage is disappear( actually at this time I still didn’t turn on the e-load, the key of ON/OFF of e-load is off, the current is 0),  the BQ25751 was damaged. And the stat1,stat2 LEDs are ON indicated “charging fault detected”, I measured the REGN pin of BQ25751, the REGN LDO inside of BQ25751 output is not 5V anymore, it is zero ( on some other damaged board, the REGN LDO output is about 1.2V).

     

    I modified the EVM board to set the charging voltage to 56V and did the same test on EVM board by setting the e-load in CC mode, it works fine on EVM board.

    I found the chip BQ25751 we used is different with the chip used on EVM board, on EVM board it is BQ2575X, not BQ25751 we used.

    The IC on the EVM should be BQ25751, it may be from a different batch that has a different top marking.

    The E-load should be in CV mode, and you will set the current that it draws in the ICHG_REG. I highly recommend using a 2000µF of capacitance across the VBAT.

    Best Regards,

    Christian.
