Setting Charger Options

By writing ChargeOption() command (0x12H or 0b00010010), BQ24725A allows users to change several charger options after POR (Power On Reset) as shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Charge Options Register (0x12H)

Bit Field Type Reset Description
[15] ACOK Deglitch Time Adjust R/W Adjust ACOK deglitch time.
After POR, the first time the adapter plug in occurs, deglitch time is always 150ms no matter if this bit is 0 or 1. This bit only sets the next ACOK deglitch time after ACFET turns off at least one time. To change this option, VCC pin voltage must be above UVLO and ACDET pin voltage must be above 0.6V to enable IC SMBus communication.
0: ACOK rising edge deglitch time 150ms
1: ACOK rising edge deglitch time 1.3s <default at POR>
[14:13] WATCHDOG Timer Adjust R/W Set maximum delay between consecutive SMBus Write charge voltage or charge current command. The charge will be suspended if IC does not receive write charge voltage or write charge current command within the watchdog time period and watchdog timer is enabled.
The charge will be resumed after receive write charge voltage or write charge current command when watchdog timer expires and charge suspends.
00: Disable Watchdog Timer
01: Enabled, 44 sec
10: Enabled, 88 sec
11: Enable Watchdog Timer (175s) <default at POR>
[12:11] BAT Depletion Comparator Threshold Adjust R/W This is used for LEARN function battery over discharge protection. During LEARN cycle, when the IC detects battery voltage is below depletion voltage threshold, the IC turns off BATFET and turned on ACFET to power the system from AC adapter instead of the battery. The rising edge hysteresis is 340mV. Set ChargeVoltage() register value to 0V will disable this function.
00: Falling Threshold = 59.19% of voltage regulation limit (~2.486V/cell)
01: Falling Threshold = 62.65% of voltage regulation limit (~2.631V/cell)
10: Falling Threshold = 66.55% of voltage regulation limit (~2.795V/cell)
11: Falling Threshold = 70.97% of voltage regulation limit (~2.981V/cell) < default at POR>
[10] EMI Switching Frequency Adjust R/W 0: Reduce PWM switching frequency by 18% <default at POR>
1: Increase PWM switching frequency by 18%
[9] EMI Switching Frequency Enable R/W 0: Disable adjust PWM switching frequency <default at POR>
1: Enable adjust PWM switching frequency
[8] IFAULT_HI Comparator Threshold Adjust R/W Short circuit protection high side MOSFET voltage drop comparator threshold.
0: function is disabled
1: 750mV <default at POR>
[7] IFAULT_LOW Comparator Threshold Adjust R/W Short circuit protection low side MOSFET voltage drop comparator threshold.
0: 135mV <default at POR>
1: 230mV
[6] LEARN Enable R/W Set this bit 1 start battery learn cycle. IC turns off ACFET and turns on BATFET to discharge battery capacity. When battery voltage reaches threshold defined in bit [12;11], the BATFET is turned off and ACFET is turned on to finish battery learn cycle. After finished learn cycle, this bit is automatically reset to 0. Set this bit 0 will stop battery learn cycle. IC turns off BATFET and turns on ACFET.
0: Disable LEARN Cycle <default at POR>
1: Enable LEARN Cycle
[5] IOUT Selection R/W 0: IOUT is the 20x adapter current amplifier output <default at POR>
1: IOUT is the 20x charge current amplifier output
[4] AC Adapter Indication (Read Only) R/W 0: AC adapter is not present (ACDET < 2.4V) <default at POR>
1: AC adapter is present (ACDET > 2.4V)
[3] Not in use R/W 0 at POR
[2] Not in use R/W 0 at POR
[1] ACOC Threshold Adjust R/W 0: function is disabled
1: 3.33x of input current regulation limit <default at POR>
[0] Charge Inhibit R/W 0: Enable Charge <default at POR>
1: Inhibit Charge
