Dear Sir,

If it does not add 220nF when the charge current is under 300mA, any side effect?

please let me know advise me.

Hi Dexter,

It is not required but as stated, it improves operation at low current charge settings.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for your reply.

could you please explain detail which point improve operation.

We have problem to be changed charging current after recovery DPPM mode at low charge current(300mA).

please advise me any comment.

Hi Dexter,

Is this the same issue as we've previously discussed?

See: BQ24038: changed charge current after recovered DPPM mode

I'd like to update and say that this issue is still be looking into and I have performed tests with EVMs that do not reflect the issue that the customer had seen.

I will look into the point improve operation of the capacitor and reply when I have the information.

Hi Dexter,

The capacitor will add stability when the charge current is set for low charge currents such as the 100mA to 10mA range.
