BQ24617 Reset

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24617

Hi

We are usingIC  BQ24617 as a Battery charger system as defined in the datasheet.

Problem statement:

We observed reset of power supply( O/P of battery chareger ( supply to system) . It is possible to appear this phenomenon  the following situations.

> connect  AC power(15V) and no connect Li-Ion battery

> main switch ON

> BY heating the neighgorhood area of the battery charger IC

   I used a hair dryer to heat the area

Observation;

When we heat the battery charger IC BQ24617 area using the hair drayer we obaserved  there is reset at the batteryu chareger o/p. When reset occurs, the temperature ( measured with equipmemt) of the  IC1000 surface and the board  surface is around 45 degrees.

This temperature is not so high and  occurs in normal operation.

Plese help us in this regards

  • What does O/P stand for?

    I am not sure you can accurately tell how hot the IC is getting.  A hair dryer typically can get very hot.

    The best way to test for temperature is in a controlled temperature chamber.

    It is best to start with an EVM for testing, so there are no unknows from a custom design.
