Use the following list to set up the EVM
testing equipment. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the test setup connections to the EVM:
- Review the EVM connections in Table 1-2.
- Set PS#1 for 5.0-V, 3-A current limit and
then turn off the supply. Connect PS#1 to J1 (VIN1 and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across TP23
(VBUS) and TP44 (PGND) to measure the input voltage as seen from the VBUS pins of the
charger.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP1 and
TP2 (I_VAC1_SENSE) to measure the input current into the VBUS pins through the VIN1
path. Alternatively, you may connect a current meter between PS1 and J1.
- Set Load #1 to constant voltage mode,
capable of sinking (for example, compliance) at least 3 A, and output to 5.0 V, and then
disable load. Connect Load #1 to J5 (BATTERY and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across TP29 (BAT)
and TP46 (PGND) to measure the battery voltage as seen from the BAT pins of the
charger.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP19 and
TP20 (I_BAT_SENSE) to measure the battery charge current out of and discharge current
into BAT pins. Alternatively, you may connect a current meter between Load #1 and
J5.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP28 (SYS)
and TP45 (PGND) to measure the system voltage as seen from the SYS pins of the
charger.
- Install shunts as shown in Table 1-3.
