In our system we have the bq25713bB connected similar to the EVB. We connected only a battery to the system. According to the datasheet, by default, the charger is in low power mode (REG0x01[7] = 1) with and The LDO stays off. As in the EVB we connected the VDDA to the REGN via 10 Ohm so VDDA = 0V. In this case the host does not get answer from the bq25713bB on the through the I2C and we can't change the device to moves to performance mode (REG0x01[7] = 0). Does the I2C needs VDDA = 6V ?.
