BQ25185 Charger Topology
Component and Footprint Qualification Matrix
Table
| Subsystem | Failure mode | Effect | Mitigation / Open action |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25185 charger | Incorrect CE/SYS wiring | Charge disabled or unsafe behavior | CE separated from SYS and tied to GND in this shadow build; verify pin-by-pin. |
| Battery path | Unknown cell chemistry/capacity/current | Unsafe charge current or voltage | Battery specs are open blockers. |
| HV input | Unknown VIN/load/current | Thermal or overvoltage risk | Do not certify; require input/load spec and creepage/clearance. |
| Relay contacts | Contacts wired to unknown machine/load | Unsafe machine actuation | Leave contacts unresolved; do not invent load nets. |
| RF path | Antenna geometry invented | Failed RF/compliance/performance | Reserve RF interface/keepout only; require chosen antenna/reference layout. |
| Layout | Stack-up/impedance invented | Invalid USB/RF impedance claims | Use 4-layer proposal only; no controlled-impedance claim. |
