Part Number:BQ24773EVM-540
I'm using a BQ24773EVM-540 to charge a battery at 512 mA. It was initially charging fine, however, I had to connect a 10 megaOhm resistor across the battery terminals for some reason, and I tried charging the battery in that manner. However, after doing this, the charge current dropped to zero. Now, even when I'm trying to charge the battery by removing the resistor, there isn't any charge current. I tried setting the charge current by using BQStudio, the device ACK is OK, and I'm able to set the charge current at 512 mA, however, no charge current is being read by the DMM. Also, I tried connecting the charger to an electronic load via a DMM and tried charging it at different currents, however, the charge current is still 0. Is there any way I can reset the IC? Or it is damaged and will I have to get a new one? Thanks!
