Use the following guidelines to set up and test the equipment:
- Set power supply #1 for 10V DC, 8A current limit
and then turn off the supply.
- Connect the output of power supply #1 in series with a current meter to J1 (VIN and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across J1 (VIN) and J1 (PGND).
- Connect load #1 in series with a current meter to J3 (VBAT and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across J3 (VBAT and PGND).
- Set 23V at KEPCO load output. Limit KEPCO to 6A. Use load #1 to power EVM from the VOUT output.
- Connect J5 to the EV2400. Connect J5 to the I2C PORT 2 on the EV2400.
- Make sure the jumpers are installed as indicated in IO and Jumper Descriptions.
- Turn on the computer and load #2. Open the bqStudio software.
- Select Charger and click the Next button.
- Select Charger_1_00_BQ25756.bqz on the
Select a Target Page. Both the BQ25756 bqz file or the
BQ25856 bqz file work for this test.
- After selecting the target device, click Field View and then click the Read Register button.
- Set WATCHDOG and EN_CHG to disabled.
- In 16 Bit Registers, set ICHG_REG to 4000mA.
- Turn on power supply #1, measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 10V ± 0.5V
I(J1(IAC)) = 5.4A ±
0.5A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 13V ± 0.5V I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ±
0.5A
- Set power supply #1 for 13V, measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 13V ± 0.5V
I(J1(IAC)) = 4.1A ±
0.5A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 13V ± 0.5V I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ±
0.5A
- Set power supply #1 for 40V, measure:
V(J1(VAC)) = 40V ± 0.5V
I(J1(IAC)) = 1.4A ±
0.5A
V(J3(VBAT)) = 13V ± 0.5V I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ±
0.5A
