BQ25820: BQ25820 not charging

Part Number: BQ25820
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25756

Tool/software:

Hi,

i have a simple design using the BQ25820 i am for the moment using this in standalone while i understand its capabilities. i have followed the data sheet and the EVK and used the BQ25756 DESIGN-CALC spreadsheet to verify values and settings. However i get no switching. Have attached schematic. the setting should be for 14.3V LiFeO4 48A/hr battery with 4A charging current. Clearly i have missed some this but i cannot see what i have configured incorrectly. there is no input current limit and no SYS output.

Any comments appreciated. Mark

  • Hello Mark,

    If you have any way to connect to the BQ25820 and provide a register dump, it will hep to quickly resolve this issue.

    Suggestions:

    • Pull CE low, do not leave floating
    • The Bulk Output capcitors need to be spread and balanced across the sense resistors, you only have it on one side.

    Best Regards,

    Christian
