BQ25672: NO Charging issue

Part Number: BQ25672

Tool/software:

hi Team, 

 customer feedback they found the one BQ25672 defect was found. The phenomenon is that the motherboard cannot be powered by the charger (there is no charging current when the charger is connected, and the current is less than 2mA, which is equivalent to HI-Z).
Remove the battery pack and connect the external charger at the same time. QON has 3.4V voltage, REGN has no voltage, and Vsys has no voltage.

Connect the battery pack, QON is grounded and activated or connected to the charger to activate, REGN has 5V voltage, and SDRV also starts normally (output voltage = Vpack + 5V)

there are some register analysis show as below,   can you help to check whether it can recover by software?

  • Hi Allen,

    The register reads above do not make sense to me.  For example, charging voltage limit is 16.7V but input voltage is 5V?  BQ25672 is buck only charger so input voltage must higher than VREG for the converter to switch. FaultStatus1 = 0x55 reports errors for OTG and charge mode at the same time.  Can these be reread, at least REG0x1B through 0x27 and REG0x0F?

    Regards,

    Jeff

  • hi Jeff,

     tks for the comment here,  i will reread the below register list as below as you mentioned. but i cannot find the FaultStatus1 = 0x55 on datasheet,  the last one for I2C Registers is 48h.
