BQ78350-R1: How to change BQ78350-r1 Address

Part Number: BQ78350-R1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

Hello,Ti:

Now I have a question. How do I change the address of bq78350r1 to 0x0B from 0x17,

I gave SMBA the voltage of a few volts according to the specification, and changed the SMBTAR_ADDR0 to SMBTAR_ADDR7 all to 0x0b, but the address that was read from EV2300 was still 0x17,

How could I solve it ?

  • Hi Laker,
    pls review section 16.4 of the TRM of the device below.

  • Hi Laker,

    To add on to Onyx's suggestion:

    Please ensure that SMB Configuration [FIXED_ADDR] is disabled (set to 0).

    In addition, please power cycle the device (allowing enough time for the capacitors to deplete).

    Sincerely,
    Bryan Kahler
  • Hi Bryan,

             When I  connect SMBA direct to groud ,I open the BMS (Battery Management Studio)soft,It will automatically identify the bq78350r1 chip and the Registers Interface is highlighting. I tested the basic functionality that was normal and disabled the [FIXED_ADDR]  (set to 0)

              But when I connect SMBA direct to DC power 0.2V ,I open the BMS (Battery Management Studio)soft again. It cannot automatically identify the bq78350r1 chip ,So i  manually select the bq78350r1 chip and the Register interface is gray not highlight. So i think the communication is unnormal. But when I opened the Adanced Comm SMB interface and enter the address,it responsed as follow:

    So i think the communication is normal in fact,but why when i open  the BMS (Battery Management Studio)soft , it cannot automatically identify the bq78350r1 chip and i  manually select the bq78350r1 chip and the Register interface is gray not highlight

    How can i solve it and how do i understand it?

    Thank you!

  • Hi Laker,
    Bqstudio can only respond to the default address. Once you change it, or clear the fixed_addr flag, it will not repond.
    thanks

  • Hi Onyx:

    As you said, now there have two question:

    1、If i have changed the address and cleared the fixed_addr flag, How do I get back to my original state? How do I resume communication with Bqstudio?
    (Remark:now my current tool is only Bqstudio )

    2、If I want to MP ,how do I verify that the chip function is normal?
  • Hi Laker,

    I did not realize the functionality has been recently added to bqstudio that allows you to chose a different address which you changed it to and communicate with the device. See snippet below.

    2. In MP you should be able to communicate with the gauge.

    thanks

  • Thank you Onyx,Now the problem has been solved!!!
