BQ24130: Questions on BQ24130

Part Number: BQ24130

Hi Team:

I have some question on BQ24130 with a super charging solution on customer side design spec: 4V-12V input&4.2V@480mAoutput  charging spec, the circuit is as follows:

the question are:

 1. About charge current waveform damping issue when start up, we confirmed it's caused by TI IC NOT super-cap based-on below experiment.
     a> if we use power supply to charger super-cap directly(Without TI charger), the charge current looks very normal.
     b> but if use TI charger IC, then the charge current looks damping.  
    pls help check what happen and how to solve this? 

2:About LED display behavior issue, the Status LED is always turned on though the charging is completed, if that is to say, the charging status is still on :when the charging is under regulated voltage control mode?
 

 3.  for reserve pin diode, does the D10, D9 need to use? do we proposal such a use application?



   
4. We also find there is about 1.3V voltage@ 5V_charger_Vin pin after DC power off, please help to confirm this leakage was caused by TI IC (super-cap discharge).. pls check if any side impact and risk for this?
    


Thanks!

  • Hi Richard,

    Regarding 1, What is the size and voltage rating of the supercap?  I am confused by the sizing of R15, R8 and R9.  Can you explain?

    Regarding 2, neither diodes are required.  Both improve efficiency by 1-2%.

    Regarding 3, when no power is applied, PVCC sits a diode drop below the battery voltage.  What is the reverse leakage current for diode D1?  If the leakage current is high enough, it is possible for C13 to charge up.  AVCC will not be damaged by such voltage and will pull down the voltage it is reaches UVLO.
