Hi there,
I'm working on a charger for one of our products and I'm having issues with the BQ24650. The input to this device is a 9V wall wart going into VIN, instead of a solar panel output.
the mosfets I am using are NVTFS5C471NLWFTAG and the inductor is ETQ-P8M4R7JFA
The battery is a CAM72F (https://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=301)
For MPPSET I did not populate R7 and used a 10k resistor for R3, so MPPSET should be pulled up to 9V and thus will always be on, correct?
When I attempt to charge the battery, the device works intermittently. I.e. it charges for 5 seconds and then turns off for 5 seconds. When I put an oscilliscope at the input I notice that its very noisy and rises slowly until it turns off, so I assume that its reaching the overvoltage cut off value. I'm just not sure why this would be happening, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Also, I replaced the 10k NTC at R4 for a fixed resistor that sets the voltage within the range specified in the datasheet, so I dont believe its anything temperature related.
Thanks
