Hi
I have the following circuit for the bq25504, operating under the conditions used in the datasheet:
I have simulated this circuit with pSPICE and it works fine. However, upon building it on a breadboard (I have used an adapter for the chip), nothing happens upon applying an input voltage from a DC power supply. Is there a reason for this, or is it likely that the chip has not been soldered into the adapter correctly? Is it also possible that the chip has been damaged by the heat gun used to solder it?
Thanks for your help.
