Hello,

I have designed an application using the DA14680 and a custom battery (rechargeable).
In the software I have changed the charging parameters according the pxp_reporter demo application and the UM-B-044-DA1468x document (paragraph 9.5) to accommodate my battery.
Now I have two topics with questions:

  1. dg_configUSE_SOC is set to 0 (zero). The battery charges. However at a certain point the charging stops briefly and then continues. This cycle of stopping and continuing occurs more frequently after some period of charging. Is this normal behaviour? Is this part of the charging functionality? Are there parameters that regulate this behaviour, like e.g. dg_configUSB_CHARGER_POLLING_INTERVAL ? Is there a document that describes this behaviour?
  2. If dg_configUSE_SOC is set to 1 (one) then I like to fully understand the "State of Charge Functionality" and therefore the parameters that go into the custum_socf_battery_profile.h. And especially the vol_dis_low_0 LUT, vol_dis_high_0 LUT and the vol_chg_0_0 variable. I don't run Windows and I don't have the necessary measuring hardware available to use the Battery Profiler Tool (paragraph 6 of the UM-B-075 document). Therefore my question is, how can I get the required values for my custom battery? Is there a way to measure the LUT values by hand, so I don't have to buy a € 8K source meter?

Thanks.
