BQ24170: The /BATDRV pin status of BQ24170

Part Number: BQ24170

Tool/software:

Hello Teams,

When the charger is charging the battery, what the status will be of pin 19 /BATDRV on the BQ24170?

When the power adapter is plugged in, I want to set the power path to the system and charge the battery at the same time, but the battery should not discharge to the system.

Thank so much.

SK.

  • Furthermore question about the EVM board.

    1) To set the charge current to 4A, can I modify the resistor R30 = 100kohm instead the 232kohm on the EVM board?

    The default setting is 2Adc for fast-charging by R30 = 232kohm and R32 = 32.4kohm.

    So that the VISET will be VREF*(32.4/264.4) ~= 3300mV * 0.122 ~= 400mV

    I(charge) = VISET/(20*0.01ohm) = 2A

    While the R30 changing to 100kohm, the VISET will be around 800mV. The changed I(charge) ~= 4A

    2) For the IDPM, I would to set to 4A as well.

    The calculated V(ACSET) need to be 4A*20*0.02ohm = 1.6V. 

    So that if I change R31 to 32.4kohm would let the V(ACSET) ~= 1.65V

    Are the above modifications correct?
