Use the following guidelines to set up the equipment:

1. Set power supply #1 for 10-V DC, 5-A current limit and then turn off the supply.
2. Connect the output of power supply #1 in series with a current meter to J1 (VIN and PGND).
3. Connect a voltage meter across J1 (VIN) and J1 (PGND).
4. Connect load #1 in series with a current meter to J6 (VSYS and PGND).
   Connect a voltage meter across J6 (VSYS and PGND).
   Set 1 A at the constant current mode. Turn off load #1.
5. Connect Load #2 in series with a current meter to J5 (VBAT and PGND).
   Connect a voltage meter across J5 (VBAT and PGND).
   Set 7 V at KEPCO load output. Turn off load #2.
   Note: Add a 47-µF capacitor on the BAT pin when testing without a real battery.
6. Connect J3 to the EV2400. Connect J3 to the SMBus PORT 1 (BQ25720) or I²C PORT 2 (BQ25723) on the EV2400. Figure 2-1 shows the connections.
   

   The picture shows the SMBus version EVM connection. If using the BQ25723EVM, move the connector to the I²C port.

7. Install jumpers as indicated in Table 1-2.

   After completing these steps, the test setup for BMS035 is as shown in Figure 2-2.

8. Turn on the computer and power supply #1. Open the bqStudio software.
   1. Select Charger and click the Next button.
      
   2. For SMBus BQ25720, select “Charger_1_00_BQ25720.bqz” on the Select a Target Page. For I²C BQ25723, select “Charger_1_00_BQ25723.bqz” on the Select a Target Page.
   3. After selecting the target device, click the Read Register button and the interface in Figure 2-3 is presented.
