hi,
i am using BQ24167 in a solar charger. I disabled the TS input by connecting the DRV out of Bq24167 to TS input. So i didn't use thermal protection for battery charging.
When i am testing my board for solar charging covering the board in a transparent plastic case in sunlight, the Bq24167 stops charging the battery, there is no way that the junction temperature reaches above to 120C for thermal shutdown. i don't know why its stop charging the battery?
Even though my board is covered in a plastic case, is there a possibility that the junction temperature shoots up?
note the setup was kept in sunlight for 10 min only.
