BQ24610: About BQ24610 battery detection mechanism

Part Number: BQ24610

Tool/software:

1.Part number:BQ24610

2.Software/Tools/models used: buck converter

3.Is the problem related to the schematic or layout?

If yes, please provide the schematic/layout:

4.Question:  The input voltage is 19 V, the output voltage is 14.3 V, and the output voltage will periodically drop to about 9.8 V under no-load. The HS tube has no driving waveform periodically. Is this due to the battery detection mechanism of BQ24610 ? After adding a constant current load source at the output end, the phenomenon still exists. Is this due to the fact that the constant current load source cannot simulate the battery ? Whether it is detected as the battery does not exist, the output voltage periodically falls under the VLOWV.

output voltage waveform:

  • Hi Zilin, 

    Thanks for posting. It was a US holiday on Monday. A team member will look into this and get back to you tomorrow.

    Yes, This related to the battery detection scheme. I see no issue with the waveform. You will need to use a constant voltage source or bi-directional power supply to mimic a battery.

    Best regards,

    Christian.

  • Hi Jing Zou,

    Thank you for your reply. Wish you a pleasant holiday.

  • Hello Christian,

    Thank you for your prompt reply and valuable advice. I will follow your suggestion to conduct the test using a constant voltage source or a bi-directional power supply to mimic the battery. Should any questions arise during the testing process, I may reach out to you for further guidance.

    Best regards,

    Zilin
