Part Number: BQ40Z50-R3-DEVICE-FW

I have Down loaded the new and the latest test files for BQstudio.   It appears that maybe the nw file SLUC525V which gets downloaded is not really the latest (V 1.3.96) .  Version R3 does not show up in the program or in the CONFIG directory.

Part Number: LM117

Hi,

Does TI have a rad-hard LDO with an Enable pin?

I need three different voltages and of course could use three of the same part number adjustable LDO's.

1.  Input voltage  5V, output voltage 3.3 volts, max output current 100 mA.

2.  Input voltage 5V, output voltage 1.8 volts, max output current 100 mA.

3.  Input voltage 5V, output voltage 1.25 volts, max output current 100 mA.

CSD13385F5: MOSFET basics: how come this FET only has unidirectional gate-source diode?

$

Part Number: CSD13385F5

Hi,

I am rather used to seeing bi-directional diodes (like two Zeners facing each other) between gate and source in MOSFETs. However, this part has a uni-directional diode.

1) How come?
2) In what way would you say I should take this into consideration when selecting whether to use this part? In this case I am planning to use this nFET to switch on/off a high-side pFET (grounding/not grounding its gate) acting as a load switch.

Thanks!

Part Number: CSD13385F5

Hi,

We are considering to use CSD13385F5 in combination with CSD22204W. However, we would need unencrypted SPICE models to first verify that the design idea works in detail.

Could you please instruct us on how get a hold of these two models?

Thanks! 

TPS63020: Power save mode output voltage rising

Part Number: TPS63020

Hi Team,

When using TPS63020, i have below 3 questions need your help:

1."During the power save mode, the output voltage is monitored with a comparator by the threshold comp low and comp high" As i noticed on datasheet, in light load, the output voltage would be 2.5%-3.5% above the normal output. What is the reason that we design like this and what need to care for customer use under this condition?

2.How to understand "The maximum average current in the switches is limited to a typical value of 4 A", in different output current?

3.When Vin=Vout, would the device shrift from buck to boost mode frequenctly, would this bring some noise for EMI performance?

Best Regards,

Gene

Part Number: BQ25886

Hello Experts,

We are using BQ25886 and has question of Charging Status Indicator blinking.

In the BQ25886 datasheet 8.3.8.2 Charging Status Indicator, it is shown that blinking at 1Hz.

But sometimes the blinking happens at around 5Hz and we do not know the reason.

Do you know why and which condition will let STAT pin blinking frequency faster than 1Hz?

In our testing, it might happens when Vbus drop at 4.3-4.5V

(using USB Type A cable > 1 meter)

Thank you.

BQ24192I: Input current is large without battery

$

Part Number: BQ24192I

Hi Jeff,

      As we have discussed here

      https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management/f/196/t/845657

      Improper values of switching inductor and output capacitors will cause large input current of about 30mA when there is no battery being charged.

     As the datasheet says, To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the output inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 15 kHz and 25 kHz. With 2.2-µH inductor, the typical output capacitor value is 20 µF.

     Now in my design, I use 1uH+44uF, but sometimes the current is about 30mA, could you help to investigate further to explain such situation?

      Thanks.

       


TPS62125: EN_HYS pin used as Low Battery Indicator while step-down is still enabled

$

Part Number: TPS62125

Hi all,

TPS62125 (powered with a 16.5V battery and configured for V_OUT=3.3V) has a PG pin to test output voltage but no Low Battery Indicator (LBI). As I have very tough space and target price constraints I cannot use a separate voltage detector (e.g. TPS3710) to test if nominal battery voltage (16.5V) falls below a predefined threshold (e.g. 15V).

It seems anyway that EN_YS pin could be used as an LBI, As described on the datasheet it is an open-drain and is pulled to GND when 'voltage on the EN pin is below the comparator threshold V_TH_EN_ON of typ. 1.2 V'. In particular 'The pin is pulled to GND once the falling voltage on the EN pin trips the threshold V_TH_EN_OFF (1.15 V typical)'.

So, if I connect EN pin to V_IN through a 1.2M resistor and to GND through a 100k rsistor, I expect that EN_HYS pin (simply pulled-up to 3.3V with a 20kohm resistor) is pulled to GND whenever V_IN falls below 15V, working as an LBI (of course while TPS62125 is still enabled and continues to regulate). Is this correct or cannot it work like this for some other reason?

Many hanks in advance.

Best regards,

Mauro

SM72445: Operation when connected to a fixed DC input voltage

Part Number: SM72445

I have an application which requires a variable solar cell input boosted to a fixed 48VDC output voltage, and was thinking of using the SM72445. The solar cell input may optionally be fed by a fixed 12VDC voltage. In this case it still needs to be boosted to 48VDC. Can the SM72445 operate with a fixed 12VDC input? Is panel mode involved as the conversion ration is 1:4?

Same thing happens, when I Try to reset device manually. Other USB devices work without problems even with Virtualbox.

So, it boils down to some USB implementation bug in EV2400.

Same problem reported on Virtualbox forums. Anybody else encountered similar problems?

LM25116: 36 to 24V converter incorrect output: board review

Part Number: LM25116

Hello,

We are undergraduate students on an engineering project team. We are trying to build a 36V to 24V converter that can take 36-42V input and output 24V at a max current output of 8A. 

We have created a board that currently outputs about 18.5V, and drops significantly as the resistance of the connected load increases. We are unsure whether this is due to manufacturing issues or design flaws of the board. 

We have attached the Altium schematic and PCB layout for the board below; we would really appreciate if you could review our design and help us troubleshoot our issues.

Thank you!

BQ34Z100-G1: FlasjStream file with more than 32 bytes data in string

$
0

Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1

Hello,

I use direct I2C communication between the BQ34Z100-G1 fuel gauge IC and  microcontroller, which act as I2C master.
Unfortunately I have not the EV2300/EV2400 device, and at this time I have no possiabilites to buy it.

I read a lot of documentation and information about the IC, from Texas Instruments and from this forum.
At present time, I can communicate with the IC by I2C protocol.
I can send and get results for the commands, the extended commands,  read flash data and write flash data into the IC, without EV2300/EV2400 and bqStudio.

But!

Now I need to write the df.fs file (FlashStream) to the IC.
The file I received from my friend who have the EV2400 device and EVM with BQ34Z100-G1 on board.
He created the golden image for my battery, and send FlashStream  files to me. And I want to write the data from the FlashStream file into IC.

But I can not understand the discrepancies between the contents of FlashStream file and  the C code from the SLUA801 document.

The discrepancies in the fact, that the gauge_execute_fs function writes 32 bytes of data only, from each string
of the FlashStream file, to the IC,  and the rest of the data, in the string, the function simply throw out.
The gauge_execute_fs function C code locate on pages 13 and 14, in SLUA801 document.

But FlashStream file (.df.fs) contain W: strings, with mush more than 32 bytes data in strings.
Moreover .bq.fs contain a lot W: strings, with more than 32 bytes data.

And, as I see, first short strings (commands) from FlashStream file switching the IC into ROM mode.

My questions is:
Can I write entire data, more than 32 bytes, from FlashStream file string, into BQ34Z100-G1 when it in ROM mode ?
Is it will error or not  ?


Thank in advance.

BQ25886: bq25886 issue

Part Number: BQ25886

When enable charge but battery is not connected. The waveform of bq25886 seems strange. The time axis is 40us. Why the SW switches for about 20us then stops for about 120us and repeat again? It may not be a charge and recharge process. Because the Deglitch time for recharge threshold and charge termination is about 250ms.  It also may not be PFM. Because PFM at light load when battery is below minimum system voltage setting or charging is disabled. I watch the register. There is no fault and the charging state  is CC fast charging. The Vsys and Vbat increases as charge voltage limit increases.

Dear expert,

I'm looking for PWM controller, and found UCC28C44, it's performance and feature could meet my requirment, but it's operating temperature is -40'C~105'C.

I'd like a device that the operating temperature could be -40'C ~ 125'C,package size is VSSOP (8) 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm or smaller, and other performance are similar with UCC28C44, can you share some recommendations?
