WEBENCH® Tools/BQ24650: How-to never terminate charging process

Part Number: BQ24650

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hello,

I am planning on using the BQ in a solar battery charging application in which I always want the charger to be enabled and never to terminate and never time out. Can this device work in this fashion? If yes, what configuration should be applied?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Regards,

Ozhen Minashy

  • Hi Ozhen,

      Tie TERM_EN to GND to disable termination. Precharge 30 minute safety timer (if VFB does not exceed VLOWV in 30 minutes) is inbuilt and cannot be disabled. Only way is to toggle MPPSET or have a POR to reset the timer and begin a new charge cycle. This part does not have a fast charge safety timer.
