BQ28Z610: MSDS report


BQ27750: Setting Term Smooth Time above 255 is not possible

$
0
0

Part Number:BQ27750

Dear TI-Team,

The max value of Term Smooth Time is 32767 seconds (according to the TRM).

In the bqStudio (1.3.80) it is not possible to change the parameter above 255. Setting the value to 256 will result in the value 0. 

How to change it, if a value above 255 is needed?

BR,

Patrick.

  Hi team!

Kindly advice how to transpose 'lifetime data block 1' to corresponding parameters.

I see following description in bq30z50 TRM, sluu852a:

Output lifetimes values on ManufacturerData() in the following format:
AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJKKLLNOOPPQQRRSSTTUUVVWWXX112233445566 where:

• AA: Max Cell Voltage 1
• BB: Max Cell Voltage 2
• CC: Max Cell Voltage 3


Here parameters which usually require 2 bytes represented just by 1,. for example, if AA=0xd9 what is corresponding 'Max Cell Voltage 1'?

Thanks a lot for clarification.

 

BQ27421-G1: bq27421-G1B battery chemistry

Part Number:BQ27421-G1

 We're using the bq27421-G1B fuel gauge IC. 

The older version of the bq27421-G1 technical reference (SLUUAC5, June, 2013) states:

• bq27421-G1A is pre-defined for LiCoO2 -based batteries for 4.2 V max charge voltage.
• bq27421-G1B is pre-defined for LiMn2O4 -based batteries for 4.3V or 4.35V max charge voltages
The revised version SLUUAC5C (Aug, 2016) states:
• The bq27421-G1A fuel gauge is predefined for LiCoO2-based batteries for 4.2-V maximum charge voltage.
• The bq27421-G1B fuel gauge is predefined for LiCoO2-based batteries for 4.3-V or 4.35-V maximum charge voltage.
• The bq27421-G1D fuel gauge is predefined for LiCoO2-based batteries for 4.35-V or 4.4-V maximum charge voltage.
We're using an IMR (LiMn2O4) battery with the bq27421-G1B fuel gauge. Is the bq27421-G1B accurate enough to gauge the LiMn2O4 batteries?

Part Number:BQ27421-G1

Our circuit reads StateOfCharge (0x1c, 0x1d) of BQ27421 and checks Battery Level.

Charging time 90 minutes Charging I want to display the fuel gague level of the last 50 minutes as 100%.
(When CHARGE_COMPLETE state of charge IC is judged as completion of charging)

* Battery: 3820mAh, 14134mWh

* Refer to 3.1 Data Memory Parameter Update Example in the document "SLUUAC5C-June 2013-Revised August 2016"

and write "0x4A 0x0E, 0x4B 0xEC". Then the time to maintain 100% is reduced

* What should I do to make Charge IC's CHARGE_COMPLETE state detection and fuel gague 100% display close?

BQ27220: BQ27220 Sleep current

Part Number:BQ27220

Hi,

When the BQ27220 is in SLEEP mode, it will wake up every 20s to update itself.

When it wakes up, does it integrate its own quiescent current into the coulomb count? Since it is a constant current value (~9µA) and periodicity is fixed (20s), I would expect it to do so

My application is a low power IoT application where sleep current is an important factor to take into account

thank you for your help

Part Number:BQ40Z50-R2

Hi,
We're making prototypes of new project, that have bq40z50-R2 onboard. bqStudio says, that Device ID is 4500_2_08. I suppose, that it's about 2.08 Firmware;

When I go to www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware , download bq40z50-R2 Gauging Embedded Firmware v2.08  (ZIP 4249 KB )   - and unZIP it, I find, that it contains 2.11 version of firmware.

Could you fix it, so that archive contains correct firmware, ASAP, please?

BQ40Z50-R2: Balancing issue

$

Part Number:BQ40Z50-R2

Hi,

We are seeing the issue of 4S8P 19.2Ah LiFePO4 battery pack is not charging to 100%.

The pack was able to charge to 100% in the beginning of production but after 4 months of usage, the pack is able to charge up to 80% only. When we read the pack through battery management studio, the cell 2 has shown up zero balancing time where as cell 1, 3 and 4 balancing time are higher ( refer to attached image ).

During charging, Cell 2 reaches 3.6V when other cells are in the range of 3.5V. During discharging cell 1 drops to <2.8V.

When we disable the cell balancing ( CB, CBR, CBS=0), pack is able to charge to the full capacity. 

what are the parameters affecting the cell balance time calculation ? Is there any provision to change the settings to voltage based balancing instead of capacity based balancing as in bq78PL116 ?

BQ78350: Discharging is not operatiing normally when I use bq78350+ bq76920+bq76200 to implement my design.

Part Number:BQ78350

I  design  my gauge board  refering to  document tidrqy7.

In my design, I  dIdn't  use  the precharge function, and I only use  Q1 and Q5 to  control discharging and  charging.

When I  apply a  load to PACK+ and PACK-, the out voltage of PACK+ of PACK-  drops  down to  9V, while  the the voltage is  20V before I apply the road.

The  waveform of  Vg of  Q1 and Q5 is showed as follows.

When I removed  Q1 and Q5,Vgs of  Q1 and Q5 are all 10V.

I can't find the reason of the drop of voltage  and  the reason  of  the waveform of  Vg.

Could you find out the reason causing the problems?

Hello everyone,
 I would like to ask, if it is normal that when I charge my 20Ah LiFePO4 battery to 100% during the learning cycle (with Impedance track enabled, device capacity set to 20000, number of series cells set to 3) and then try to discharge it, everything seems to work well, but when the SOC of the battery hits 15%, it stops changing and just stays at 15% even if there is -1200mA flowing out of the battery... 

Thank you for any suggestions,
 Have a nice day,

TLV431: Unclear value reference current

Part Number:TLV431

Hi all,

I'm doing a theoretical voltage accuracy analysis on TLV431 Low-Voltage Adjustable Precision Shunt Regulator with Vka > Vref and I found some specifications in the datasheet, which don't make sense to me.  Basically I try to find a  minimum reference current for the TLV431 to work fine.

My circuit looks similar to fig. 23 given in the datasheet:

 

The datasheet can be found at: www.ti.com/.../slvs139x.pdf

On page 4 under 6.1 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) it says that the reference current (Iref) has to be between -0.05mA and 3mA. 

The following page (5) indicates ,under specified test conditions, at 6.5 (Electrical Characteristics for TLV431

which is fine.

Then, on page 17 in section 8.3 (Feature Description) it is written, that the reference pin needs at least 0.5µA to work proper.

Now to my question: Does this mean, that the minimum working current is 0.5µA as stated in 8.3 and the values for the test conditions do not apply to my circuit (Vka > Vref)? Or can the device work with reference currents below 0.5 µA in my circuit as well?

Furthermore I'm getting confused with the negative minimum current as shown in 6.1. If there would be a negative current, my reference voltage would get falsified since the current generates an voltage over R2. Anyway a negative current out of an npn base doesn't make sense to me under this circumstances and would cause the device to not work as desired.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

PS: Throughout my investigations I noticed the same thing for the TL431 device, which works in a similar way with different reference voltage.

Doing a production run with the TPS1H100B and it's gone heavily out of stock. Distributor is referring to the TPS27S100B as being a direct alternative. 

Do you have any documentation which states the differences between these devices, and/or are they drop-in-replacements for each other?

thanks,

BQ40Z50-R1: Unexpected results of Chemistry ID matching tool/failure of learning cycle

$

Part Number:BQ40Z50-R1

I have completed a full ChemID Cycle (partial charge, relax, discharge, relax), following the instructions in http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva725a/slva725a.pdf. The only deviations from the instructions were that the relax periods were significantly longer than 2hr post charge and 5hrs post discharge specified (battery left to relax overnight).

The log file from this that I submitted to GPCCHEM was:

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/196/8546.chem_5F00_id_5F00_testing.zip

and the report received:

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/196/0508.chem_5F00_id_5F00_testing_2D00_report.zip

As you can see in the report, the recommended ChemID is 1582. As shown in the screen cap from bqStudio below, this is listed as a 1920mAh model. I do not have the exact chemistry of the cell under test, but I do know it is ~5400mAh, which is significantly different. Does the difference in capacity matter for Chemistry ID? Should I disregard the result and try again, or trust the matching tool?!

I ask because when subsequently running a learning cycle the learning cycled failed during the discharge stage with RDIS and NSFM bits set. From /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/196/0020.7418.Achieving-The-Successful-Learning-Cycle.pdf, common failure number 6 states

Which I would not expect as I have just applied the ChemID matched by GPCCHEM. I have confirmed that the ChemID was applied correctly with SMBus command 0x6, and I reset the bq40z50-R1 prior to starting the learning cycle to ensure the update was 'applied'.

My questions are:

  1. Is the matched Chemistry ID implausible given the large difference in capacity between the cell under test and the model listed in the chemistry database?
  2. If so, can you see what in the submitted log file is causing the problem and how I might fix this?
  3. If not, what else can I try to successfully complete a learning cycle?
  4. How could I verify that I have an appropriate Chemistry ID, other than by running a learning cycle and not getting RDIS set?

Thanks,

Hamish
