Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24780, BQ40Z50
Hi Everyone
I have a BQ24780 charging a single cell battery via a BQ40Z50 gas gauge.
During startup we set the charger to output 4.2 volts with a 512 mA limit, sometimes it works OK but sometimes the output voltage is only 1.6 volts.
The oscillator is running at 800 KHz and I don't think it's current limiting, if I change the charge current to 4096 mA the output voltage only goes up by about 10mV and the input current doesn't change.
The PROCHOT status register shows 0, ACOK pin is high, charger is not in sleep and is not disabled.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ?
Thanks
Mark
