BQ25703A: Charge Current Always 0A

Part Number: BQ25703A

Hi ,I'm reaching a problem about bq25703a's BATFET.

I have tested my code on EVM before,it works well.

My option step:

1. write 0x020E to [0x01/00]  //exit lowpwr

2. write 0x40D0 to [0x05/04] //charge volt 12.6V

3. write 0x0300 to [0x03/02] //charge curr 768mA

4. write 0x2B00 to [0x0D/0C] //min sys volt 11V

5. write 0xE0FF to [0x3B/3A] //adc option

But when I use it on my own board, the BATFET fully off, with the PMOS-Gate voltage 11V

That makes my board can't charge the battery, with current always 0A.

I have read the datasheet and it says when the CELL_BATPRISZ pin pulled low to indicate battery removal and will disable charge.

CELL_BATPRISZ pin is only pulled to ground on my board so I can't take more options.

But I have run my code successfully  on my own board before, does this Pin really affect charger or must be pulled up?

After these two options I finded my board doesn't work:

1. I have let the positive and negative pole of  the battery connected reversely;

2. I have reset the IC reg by writing 0x35[6] to 1.

That's all.

So how can I find the reason why the charger doesn't work? (current = 0)

Thanks.
