Part Number:BQ25710
Good afternoon,
I'm working on a application which uses a BQ25710 charger to power a PCB and a battery. The charger should transform 24V adapter voltage to 12V system voltage.
However during testing it has come clear that I don't get the desired output voltage, I only get 0,1V of output Voltage. When I lower the input voltage to 12V I get 0,2V of output voltage. I found that the gate of mosfet Q1 only gets 0,2V. whichs seems a little less to me. Mosfet Q4 is fully on. So far I didn't connect a battery to the circuit. For the design I used the example shown in the datasheet.
I found that I used different resistor values at the voltage divider connected to Cell_BatPresz. I used a 1kohm and 820ohm resistor to get 55% of the VDDA voltage at pin Cell_batPresz. The datasheet shows resistors with values larger than 100kohm. In my opinion the only difference it should make is that a larger current will occure.
Some more questions:
- What will happen with VDDA when no battery is connected, will it stay at app. 6V or should it get 0V?
- If the Cell_BatPresz is low, will the charger still provide system voltage to the PCB?
I hope someone can help me solving this issue.
Kind regards
Pim
