PRODUCTION DATA
This setup is suitable to test for device power consumption at different power modes. VS1 is a voltage source that simulates a battery cell. VS2 is used to simulate a charger and load under different power mode conditions.
I1 is a current meter that monitors the device power consumption at different modes. I2 is a current meter that monitors the PACK pin current. The IPACK current is insignificant in most operation modes. If a charger is connected (VS2 has a positive voltage), but the device is still in SHUTDOWN mode, I2 reflects the IPACK current drawing from the charger due to the internal RPACK-VSS resistor.
This setup is suitable to test VCHG and VDSG levels or monitor the CHG and DSG status at different operation modes. It is not suitable to measure power consumption of the device, because the meters (or scope probes) connected to CHG and/or DSG increase the charge pump loading beyond the normal application condition. Therefore, the current consumption of the device under this setup is greatly increased.
This setup is suitable to test OV, UV, OCD, OCD, and SCD protections.
Voltage protection:
Adjust VS1 to simulation OV and UV. TI recommends having 0 V on VS3 during the voltage test to avoid generating multiple faults. Adjust VS2 to simulate the charger/load connection or disconnection. Combine with test circuit 1 to monitor power consumption, or combine with test circuit 2 to monitor CHG and DSG status.
Test example for OV fault and OV recovery by charger removal:
Current protection:
Similar to the voltage protection test, adjust VS3 to simulate OCC, OCD, and SCD thresholds. Use VS2 to simulate a charger/load status. TI recommends setting VS1 to the normal level to avoid triggering multiple faults.
It is normal to observe CHG or DSG flipping on and off if VS2 is not set up properly to simulate a charger or load connection/disconnection, especially when the voltage source is used to simulate fault conditions. It is because an improper VS2 setting may mislead the device to sense a recovery condition immediately after a fault protection is triggered.
This setup is suitable to test for CTR control. Adjust VS4 above or below the CTR VIH or VIL level. Combine with test circuit 1 to observe the power consumption, or combine with test circuit 2 to observe the CHG and DSG status.
