I2C bq25120 settings

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25120

Hello I have a problem with the right settings of the bq25120,

In the default settings of the bq25120 there are 1.8V on the SW pin. And now my question: If I set the output Voltage from the default 1.8V to 3.3V over I2C. Then a communicate over I2C is furthermore possible, when the I2C-Pullup-Resistors are furthermore powered from a Power-Supply of 1.8V. Or should I also change the Voltage of the I2C-Pullups-resistors if I change the default output-voltage from 1.8V to 3.3V.

  • Hurtz,

    If you set the I2C voltage to 3.3V, then you will have to have your "high level" at atleast 2.475V. Is your I2C bus pulled up to VSYS?

  • Hello Gautham,

    the I2C isn't pulled to VSYS. I used PMID/VINLS for some Buck, Boost Converters to generate 5V and 1.8V. The I2C Bus is pulled up to the Buck-Converter with 1.8V all the time. Now my questions was if I set VSYS from the default 1.8V to 3.3V than I should also powered the I2C Bus with 3.3V?

    Should the I2C Bus pulled up to VSYS or is a communication also possible if VSYS is set up to 3.3V and the I2C Bus is further pulled up to 1.8V?
