bq24075t use case problem - powering the system in USB suspend mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24074

Product: Wireless Mouse for Gaming

 

Use Case:

·         The mouse can be connected to PC and used as a wired mouse when the battery is removed.

·         The battery charger IC should be still able to power up the MCU in the mouse for normal operation.

·         In battery IC's SUSPEND mode, the IN to OUT path is cut off, this will mean that the mouse will not work.

·         Workaround is to force battery IC to be in 2 modes only, 100mA or 500mA, never in SUSPEND mode.

·         The question is can the product still be USB compliant? Intention is to achieve USB Suspend mode by pulling CE pin high to disable the charging and let IN to OUT path connected. This is on the assumption that the total current drawn is less than USB Suspend current requirement of 2.5mA. The load after the battery charger during USB suspend will be about 2mA.

·         What is the current drawn from the IN pin when charge is disabled and without load (/CE = Hi; EN1 = EN2 = Lo)? From the datasheet, it wasn’t clear. Do we have any data to show?

Lastly, if I set Ichg to 1A, the termination current is 0.1A right? I have this concern that the battery will never be fully charged.

Any workaround without the need to use bq24074?

  • The IC is in suspend mode when EN1/2 is HI/HI and the data sheet shows a maximum of 50uA.

    The current is basically the same with CE high or low with the battery missing or with the battery full and terminated.

    On my EVM I measured ~1.1mA.  This is without the STAT pins connected to any load.

     

    The spec says the worst case is 1.5mA.
