BQ25185 Charger Topology

I’ll read the attachment and follow only its authorized scope for the current BENCH_ONLY project.
Fase 9 quedó parcialmente investigada antes de agotarse los ACUs.
Completado:
  • Extraje requisitos oficiales para C2, C4/C6, C8/C9, C12 y C13/C14.
  • Confirmé que C12 ofrece aproximadamente 15.54 µF efectivos a 5 V, suficiente frente al mínimo calculado LM5164 de 3.1 µF.
  • Identifiqué que C15 está conectado a RX_3V3, pero el requisito TI de 22 µF corresponde a VDDR, por lo que su función debe revisarse.
Pendiente:
  • Obtener curvas oficiales numéricas de DC-bias para C2, C13 y C14/C15.
  • Emitir los veredictos finales por designador.
  • Crear el reporte Fase 9 y actualizar las notas de sourcing.
No se modificaron esquema, PCB, BOM, placement ni routing. BENCH_ONLY / NOT FOR FABRICATION / NOT FOR ENERGIZATION.

Final Schematic Correctness Review
Status: BENCH_ONLY / NOT FOR FABRICATION / NOT FOR ENERGIZATION
Visible progress: 75% logical shadow definition / 0% fabrication release
Review date: 2026-07-28
This review reflects the current schematic after the exact K1–K3 and U10 replacements and the U8 power-save/source-placeholder correction.
Confirmed current corrections

Correct only as a BENCH_ONLY shadow schematic
  • V_CELL_PLACEHOLDER is not a purchasable battery and does not define chemistry, capacity, protection or permitted charge current.
  • LM5069 UVLO, OVLO, TIMER and PWR remain intentionally open pending real input/load/SOA requirements.
  • Four U9 RF ports remain intentionally open pending antenna, matching, stackup and compliance decisions.
  • U10 V+, V− and potentiometer terminals remain on the explicit analog-open net.
  • BQ29700 COUT/DOUT and the final protection-FET implementation remain unresolved.
  • J1, U1, L1, L2 and generic-passive manufacturing qualification remain open.
  • Q2/Q3 remain DNP/BENCH_ONLY; relay contacts remain external and unconnected.
Full ERC disposition
Total findings: 9
Justified library finding — 1
  • U10:NC connected: caused by swapped pin 8/9 metadata in the exact Flux entry. Both physical pads are intentionally grounded and the disposition is recorded separately.
Intentional BENCH_ONLY open nets — 8
  • LM5069: LM5069_UVLO_OPEN, LM5069_OVLO_OPEN, LM5069_TIMER_OPEN, LM5069_PWRSET_OPEN.
  • RF: RF915_P_OPEN, RF915_N_OPEN, RF_PA20_P_OPEN, RF_PA20_N_OPEN.
New real ERC errors
  • None. U8 PS/SYNC and the undriven AIRTAG_CELL_POS error are resolved.
Final verdict
LOGICALLY_CONSISTENT_BENCH_ONLY
  1. The previously identified U10, relay and U8 electrical errors have been corrected.
  2. The TPS63030 block now has a defined power-save state and an explicit non-manufacturing source placeholder.
  3. Current ERC contains no new unintended connectivity error.
  4. The U10 NC finding is a documented library-metadata defect with an electrically acceptable grounding disposition.
  5. Eight remaining single-pin nets are deliberate BENCH_ONLY markers for unresolved LM5069 and RF design work.
  6. Battery selection, protection completion, RF, LM5069 settings and manufacturing qualification remain incomplete.
  7. The schematic is logically consistent only as a shadow design and must not be energized or released to PCB/fabrication.
  8. BENCH_ONLY / NOT FOR FABRICATION / NOT FOR ENERGIZATION.
