BQ25730: BQ25730: output voltage reduce issue

Part Number: BQ25730

Hello Team,

We are using BQ25730RSNR battery charger in our design. We have configured battery charger for 2S Lithium Ion Battery pack configuration. At Pin#18 (CELL_BATPRESZ), we are getting 2.4V. At output we are getting 5.19V instead of 6.6V. Please suggest why output voltage is getting reduced?

Thanks

  • Hello Kadam,

    Can you provide schematic and register dump when this behavior occurs?

  • Hello Kadam,

    I'm not sure how to read this register dump, can you provide it in a different format. Can you also provide your schematic?

    Best Regards,

    Christian

  • Hello Christian,

    From register dump value, we understand that 0x0D register value is set to 0x34. We think that it is reason we are getting 5.19V.

    We will not be able to share schematic due to our customer property.

    Thanks

  • Hello Kadem,

    If you increase this voltage does the output voltage increase?

    What is the battery voltage?

    Best Regards,

    Christian.

  • Hello Christian,

    Thank you for assisting. Our issue is resolved. Due to our software configuration, voltage is fixed to 5.19V during dead battery condition.

    Thanks
