Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ33100
Hi,
I am using bq33100 EVM for balancing the supercapacitor of value 600F. I want to do the complete learning process for calculation of the value of capacitor and ESR. Because the board is showing the data flash (default) values of capacitor and ESR.
EVM malfunctions whenever I am trying to charge the capacitor by issuing command x0046 to enable CFET flag in the operation status register. When I issue the FET control command, the board started to flow higher current of 32A. I am unable to understand why these happen.
Is it a possibility of failure of the transistor because of the heavy current? If yes, what measures I should take to avoid a malfunction in the EVM. Please help me to resolve these issues.
Thank you,
Grishma
