Hi,
we have a BMS design based on TI reference for BQ76920. It's a 4S battery, so we tie VC3 and VC4, skipping VC4 data ( which reads zero as expected ), only using VC1, VC2, VC3, VC5
MCU software reads VCx registers in pairs, as atomic value, returning 16bit word value. Data is read every 250ms when CC_READY bit is set, indicating fresh ADC data is available.
99% of the boards work fine, no issues, but there have been 2 boards so far which exhibit occasional bad ADC read on VC5, see sample below.
Sample only shows data from VC5, since VC1-VC3 are always good. Each line has 3 sequential samples, so about 750ms per line.
Board is just sitting idle, connected to a nominally charged battery, no charge or load, but both FETs are on. There are no transients, actual voltage on VC5 is very steady.
Any idea what could be causing VC5 value to randomly jump up by a certain number, approx. 3175 ? Seems to always happen in short bursts with normal periods in between.
