If using Battery Management Studio, then use the
following steps for communications verification.
- In Battery Management Studio,
select READ REGISTER at the top of the page. Device ACK OKappears
at the top of the page.
- Select Field View in the top right of the screen. Note
there are two tabs, one for 8-bit registers and one for 16-bit registers. In the
8-bit tab, there are sections for chip, charger and OTG single-bit and multi-bit
registers. In the 16-bit tab are the charger and OTG multi-bit registers for
setting voltages and currents. In addition, the ADC registers are on the 16-bit
tab.
- Prepare the charge mode charger
register settings in the following way if not already set there by default:
- On the 8-bit Registers
tab in the Chip Config Single-bit Registers section,
- Change Watchdog Timer to disabled.
- Check the "ShipFET Present?" check box.
- On the 8-bit Registers
tab in the Charger Multi-bit Registers section,
- Set the Precharge
current to 240 mA.
- Set ABS VINDPM to
4000 mV.
- Set VSYSMIN to
7000 mV.
- On the 16-bit Registers
tab in the Charger Multi-bit Registers section,
- Set the Charge
Voltage charging regulation limit to 8400 mV.
- Set the Charge
Current to 500 mA.
- Set the input
current regulation limit (IINDPM) to 3000 mA.
If using TI Charger GUI, then follow
these steps.
- In the TI Charger GUI homepage,
select the charger that is in use. At the bottom-left, user should see
Hardware Connected. Figure 2-5 is a
brief description of what the icons on the left side panel mean:
Note: If the EVM is powered
but not communicating (for example, does not ACK), then try updating the
USB2ANY firmware to the latest version using the software at
SLVC695.
The software contains steps to press the reset button, on the opposite side
of the USB connector to the LED, using a paper clip or narrow pin.
- Go to the Chip
Configuration and set the Watchdog Timer to disabled and check
the ShipFET present? box.
- Go to the Charger Configuration
and set
- VSYSMIN to 7 V
- Charge Voltage to 8.4
V
- Charge Current to 0.5
A
- Precharge current to 0.24
A
- IINDPM to 3 A
- ABS VINDPM to 4.0 V
