Hello Darren,
Yes, the missing terminations are the reason for your switcher issues. In particular, the charger related connections and the VINCAM connection are important for proper switcher operation. Please see the enclosed unused charger and unused pin list documents, and ensure that your entire design complies with the info in these documents. If you have further questions, please let us know.
Thanks & Regards,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
I'm using the MC13783VK5 device. Yes I did see this document on the Freescale website and I think I have my circuit wired for the VK5 part with both SW1 and SW2 set for 'Parallel mode'. The pages from my schematic where the MC13783 is used are attached for you to look at. One document that was pointed out to me was AN3276 - Interfacing iMX31 to MC13783. In this document section 6.4.1 states recommendations for terminations related to unused functions. On my circuit I don't have VINVIB or VINCAM connected to +3V3. Also it states that the pins CHRGISNSP, CHRGISNSN, BATTISNS and BATT should be tied to +3V3 but again I haven't connected these pins to anything. I have connected CHRGMOD0 to GND and CHRGMOD1 to VATLAS. Could these missing terminations be the reason why I'm not having the correct voltages from SW1 and SW2??
Regards,
Darren
