BQ76PL455A-Q1: bq76PL455A

Hi Malcolm,

Can you point out which reference design you are referring to?

thanks

Roger

Hi Roger

It is the EM1402 Evaluation Module (TI BD76PL455A-Q1 Reference Design).

Malcolm

Hi Roger

It appears that it should be able to discharge based on the documentation. I am not sure why I don't see any cell change when I try to discharge or charge. Is there some documentation that describes how to perform a charge or discharge? Let me know if you find out whether the design supports the discharge.

Thanks,

Malcolm

HI Malcolm,

Can you share block diagram of  how you perform discharging test?

Hi Roger,

For the software block diagram:

1) Read the voltages of the cells and temperature 

2) Determine the maxCell and MinCell voltage

3) Call EMB_Start(0, maxCell, discharger) (This uses calls to register 121)

4) Delay 1 to 10 seconds

5)Delay 3 seconds

6) Repeat back to step 1)

Here are the answers to your questions:

1) Cell values:

1) 2.234

2)2.136

3) 2.287

4) 2.258

6) 2.2189

7) 2.21134

8) 2.231

9) 2.331

10) 2.134

11) 2.2089

12) 0.0061

13)0.0060

14)  0,067

15) 2.214

16) 2.215

*Note - In previous measurements the voltages measured for 12, 13, 14 were ok, but cells  4, 5, 6, 7, 8 were in the 0.006 range. So these low voltages appear to move around.

2) Register values for:

register 13 was 0x10

register 14 0x18

Any advice is appreciated.

Malcolm

Is this the recommended approach? Do you have other examples?

Thanks,

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm! 

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread too since we are already handling this issue on your other post. I just want to avoid any confusion and to have all the information on a single thread. 

Best regards,

Leslie
