2.3.2 Charge Mode

Connect the equipment as the following:

  • Power Supply (PS#1): VIN of the BQ25188 at 5V
  • Power Supply (PS#2): VBAT of the BQ25188 at 3.7V
  • Scope Channel (SC#1): VIN
  • Scope Channel (SC#2): VSYS
  • Scope Channel (SC#3): VBAT

Turn the supply PS#2 on, then turn the supply PS#1 on. The VSYS rises to the level of 4.5V. The device begins to charge as long as the TS is left at default configuration and there are no other faults.
