2.4.2 Communication Verification

If using Battery Management Studio, use the following steps for communications verification:

  1. In Battery Management Studio, select "READ REGISTER" at the top of the page. "Device ACK OK" should appear at the top of the page.
  2. 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.
  3. 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, follow these steps.

  1. In the TI Charger GUI homepage, select the charger you are using. You should see at the bottom-left, Hardware Connected. Here 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), try updating the USB2ANY firmware to the latest version using the software at https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slvc695. The software tells you to press the reset button, on the opposite side of the USB connector to the LED, using a paper clip or narrow pin.
  2. Go to the Chip Configuration and set the Watchdog Timer to disabled and check the "ShipFET present?" box.

  3. 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 0.4 V
