BQ78350-R1: Flashing LED doesn't work [RCA] FLAG

Part Number: BQ78350-R1

Hi All,

I've an issue about Flashing LED.

I want to enable the last LED flashing in discharge when [RCA] flag in BatteryStatus()BatteryStatus is set.

My configuration is :

Step 1 : Data memory => LED support / LED config / LED Flash Alarm = 15%

Step2 : Data memory => LED support / LED config / LED Flash Period = 488 µs

Step 3 : Data memory => Settings / Configuration / LED configuration = 06 Hex , LED RCA = True

Step 4 : Test condition

The BQ is on Discharge + SOC = 0% + RCA = 0 + Flag RCA = True 

I think I have all the conditions for flashing the LED, but there are nothing .....

Do you have an idea for this issue?

The TRM explain that:

"13.2.1 LED Display Activation
The LED display is activated for a period of LED Hold Time:
• If the DISP pin is low for < LED Hold Time.
• If [LEDR] = 1 AND the device is Reset.
• If [LEDCHG] = 1 AND Current() > 0.
• If ManufacturerStatus() = 0x002C.
If SafetyStatus() [CUV] flag is set, the display is disabled.

If [LEDRCA] = 1 and the BatteryStatus() [RCA] change from 0 to 1, the LED display will also flash at the LED Flash Rate according to the LED Flash Alarm.
