Model Error in FOD Calibration tool

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ51013B

Hi all

I'm using bq51013b and are currently trying to do a FOD calibration using the "FOD Calibration" tool (sluc577).

Unfortunately, the resulting "Model Errors" are until -550mV and not correctable within the Vos limitations. Following the measurements for RFOD = 196, ROS = 1M, RLIM = 80 for a load from 0 to 525mA in 25mA steps.

PPR monitoring is done using a self-developed tool. It expects max_pwr = 10 and pwr_class = 0. A PPR value of 0x53 for example results in 3.242W.

Do I may have a measurement error or could there be an error in my design? I can't find instructions in the User Manual to handle this issue.

How do you calculate "Model Error"? Can I might get the old calibration sheet (SLUA674A) to determine it?

Kind regards
