- Problem: Current is not shut off but output voltage reduced to 3.5V
- Action: Don't use IP3005A again
- Problem: There's not really a hysteresis. At this voltage it just behaves unstable.
- Action: Don't use IP3005A again
- Problem: When battery terminal is short circuited, the current is about 200mA, can be up to 350mA. From 400mV battery voltage upwards, the current is limited to 106mA.
- Action: Take notice.
- Problem: Full charge current should only be applied when battery voltage is above 2.8V. In this circuit, 2.0V seems to be enough for the full charge current. It doesn't make a difference whether CS is pulled-up by 10㏀ or by a 0Ω link.
- Action:
- Problem: Battery voltage needs to drop to 3.7V (500mV decrease) before the operation mode returns to full charge.
- Action: Don't use TP5000 part again.
- Problem : Red and green LEDs swapped. Probably wrong LED placed (don't know what component type of placed component is).
- Action: Check LED component on redesign
- Problem : LEDs not bright enough.
- Action : Change R28 from 100K to 10K.
- Problem : At 3.6V and up, the battery charger starts charging the battery. The charger current is divided between the load and the battery. At 3.88V the switch-over occurs and all current is diverted to the load.
- Action : Battery should not be charged as long as it's connected to the load. Voltage comparator switchover should happen when VIN ≥ 4.5V (Minimum voltage for USB & Li-Ion will never reach that voltage). The battery charger enable pin should be switched by the comparator as well, to prevent charging when VIN>UVLO of charger, but smaller than 4.5V.
- Connect electronic load between CN10.1 & GND.
- Connect labo power supply on CN10.
