BQ25720: SMBus commands

Part Number: BQ25720

Tool/software:

In our application we have a Microchip SMbus / USB Converter (MCP2221A), so that we can talk to the battery charger IC from our SBC.

Using the Microchip SMBus Terminal interface, I am trying to set the IIN_Host (3F) command to 5A (4500mA)

The READ command seems to work correctly if I use the following settings :- 

Address Length 7 bit

Address  09

Operation   READ

Register Index   3F

Data    2

PEC    OFF

After a power-up the response is 00 41   (3250mA default)

However, if I then WRITE the following command :- 

Address Length 7 bit

Address  09

Operation   WRITE

Register Index   3F

Data    5A (4500mA)

PEC    ON

When I READ back the IIN_HOST register it has changed to 4F (not the 5A I set it to)

Do you have any idea why it is not reading back correctly or am I not writing the correct command ?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
