Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76940, , BQSTUDIO
Tool/software:
I have a BQ78350/BQ76940 BMS design that is not sleeping properly, bq studio says it is sleeping but the current draw remains the same as when it is not sleeping. It currently has Firmware R1.03, when I flash R3.00 the sleep function works as expected, the current draw drops by about 5.5X. One of the problems I am having with the update is it blows away the calibration data, and when I attempt to recalibrate it the charge current gets flaky. The current register will read accurately but the charging current register will read 3520ma while with nothing plugged into the battery. I am also seeing erroneous behavior from the DSG Fet not turning on until and seal/unseal and reset the BMS, OC and COV registers also seem to erroneously trigger without exceeding any of the Safety parameters. Is there an important change from R1.03 to R3.00 that is causing this? Is there a unique update required to the data memory values?
