BQ27421 - Enter to dead lock state

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EV2400, BQ27421EVM-G1A

Dear Sirs;

We are using the BQ27421 GAUGE, part number BQ27421YZFT-G1A, in one of our projects. In one project we are using the radio module RF-DATA Model KYL-200L,
the gauge began to present problems of communication, enter to dead lock state. Because the system is modular, following the circuit exhibit this problem,
we removed the circuit gauge of our system and connect the EV2400 Evaluation Module Interface Board, but shows no communication with the GaugeStudio in Gauge
Dashboard, appears only EV2400 connected USB symbol as if the circuit was not connected to the BQ27421 EV2400.
The only way the circuit is back up and running by disconnecting the battery from the circuit after reconnecting the battery the circuit back to work.
We did a test with BQ27421EVM-G1A plate and the problem also occurs.

If you could help us, please send and e-mail.

Best regards,

Adilson Medeiros

     We are  working with your local TI Rep to help you. You mentioned you could reproduce it on an EVM.  Could you please send in the exact procedure to reproduce it?

     What is your failure rate?  100%?

     When a unit is in the failing state, can you please measure the voltages on these pins?

    -          VCC (LDO output)

    -          GPOUT

    -          BIN
