Hi Ti team.
We are working on BQ24232. Now we have some situation as below.
Situation 1: Not working situation
Connector EN1, EN2, CE to to GND and ILIM is floating(NC).
When battery into low power protection mode(measure battery voltage is 0V).
Plugin 5V into bq24232 VIN. The VOUT doesn't output voltage.
Means system not bootup when external power supply input.
According to the SLUS821J –OCTOBER 2008–REVISED MAY 2017 datasheet chapter 8.1, " This feature reduces the number of charge and discharge cycles on the battery, allows for
proper charge termination, and enables the system to run with a defective or absent battery pack. "
Bq24232 allow provide vout even without battery.
Situation 2: Working situation
The different between situation 1 and 2 is connect EN1 to VOUT with 10Kohm resistance.
BQ24232 could provide vout without battery(or low power protection battery) .
It also disable battery low power protection and keep charging the battery.
Why the situation 1 couldn't works?
Thanks
