BQ24773: Can't read discharge current

user502062

Part Number: BQ24773

My schematic is 100% as described.

When charging I get the charge current from IBAT output, but when discharging (the battery is powering my board) I always get 0V ftom IBAT output.

I commutate bit 6 (IBAT Output Select) in ChargeOption2 Register (through I2C) and bit 11 (IBAT Enable) in ChargeOption1 Register is set.

Any suggestion?

Would you disable the low power mode setting from the charger option 0?

Hi Wang. No, I didn't! I tried with ChargeOption0.Low_Power_Mode_Enable = 0 and now it works!!! Many many thanks for your suggestion.
