BQ25883: bq25883 always enter windpm regulation

Part Number: BQ25883

hello ti

using bq25883 charge two-cell li-ion battery(7.6V)

adapter :5V, 2.4A

setting as below:

charge current:1A

d+ short with d-

input current limit: 3A

result:

charge current:660mA

REG:0x0B   VALUE:0x23

Can you tell me the reason?Why does the charging current fall short of expectations

  • It is hard to diagnose the problem without a schematic and without a waveform. However, if you read the register table, it indicates you are in VINDPM regulation because bit 5 of 0x0B is 1. The default setting is 4.3 V. Your adapter may be unable to provide the rated current. This means the voltage on VBUS is dipping below the VINDPM setting and the current is being limited to prevent further dropping of VBUS.

  • hi michael,thanks for your reply.

    the schematic is designed ref the demo.

    1st: the adpater can provide the rated current.(Simulate adapter with DC power supply)

    2nd: if set the vindpm 5v      reg 0B value:0X23  indicates enter VINDPM regulation

            if set the vindpm 4.3v   reg 01  value:0x94  indicates enter HIZ

     


    the reg value as showed below:

  • The adapter voltage is 5V

    When VINDPM is set to 5V, it can be charged, but into VINDPM REGULATION

    When VINDPM is set to 4.3v, go directly to HIZ

  • In order to further diagnose this problem, I would appreciate if you could provide the schematic you are using. In addition, I would like a waveform of IBUS, VBUS, SW, and IBAT. I would like you to trigger on the edge that VBUS goes high for each setting of VINDPM. The part appears to still be in VINDPM from the registers you provided.

    Thanks,

  •  THE SCH IS SHOWN AS ABOVE:

    THE BQ25883 is used only as a battery charger.

  • If you could provide some waveforms (IBUS, VBUS, SW, and IBAT upon startup) for each case of VINPDM that would be helpful. Upon second look at your register settings, 0x80 in REG 0C indicates Power Good with no input. For some reason your input is not being detected.

    How long is your input cable (more specifically what is its impedance)? To me, if VINDPM is 5 V, which is your adapter rated voltage, it can pull some of your desired current, but maybe not all because of the impedance of the cable. When you try to pull the desired current at VINDPM of 4.3 V, you may be crashing the adapter.

  • thank you for your replly.

    In my opinion:

    use the same adapter ,different vindpm setting 

    Q1:

    setting :5V is easier to enter the vindpm regulation(or hiz) than setting 4.3v.

    Q2:

    I don't understand why bq25883 enter to hiz when the  vindpm value  is setted 4.3v. 

    later i will attach the test pic.
