2.4.1 Equipment Set Up

BQ25820EVM

Use the following guidelines to set up the equipment:

  1. Set power supply 1 for 40V DC, 8A 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 J3 (VBAT and PGND).
  5. Connect a voltage meter across J5 (VBAT and PGND).
  6. Set 23V at KEPCO load output. Limit KEPCO to 6A. Use load 2 to power EVM from the VOUT output.
  7. Make sure the jumpers are installed as indicated in IO and Jumper Descriptions.
  8. If using Battery Management Studio, use the following steps:
    1. Connect J5 to the EV2400. Connect J5 to the I2C PORT 2 on the EV2400
    2. Turn on the computer and load 2. Open the bqStudio software.
    3. Select Charger and click the Next button.

    4. Select Charger_1_00_BQ25820.bqz on the Select a Target Page.
    5. After selecting the target device, click Field View. and then click the Read Register button.
    6. Set WATCHDOG and EN_CHG to disabled.

  9. If using TI Charger GUI, then use the following steps:
    1. Connect J4 to the USB2ANY. Turn on the computer and load 2.
    2. Navigate to the TI Charger GUI website and select the charger to use:

  10. Turn on power supply #1, measure

    V(J1(VAC)) = 40V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 2.4A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ± 0.5A

Use the following guidelines to test the BQ25820 EVM power path:

  1. Disconnect the power supply from J1 (VIN and PGND) and disconnect Load 1 from J3 (VOUT and PGND).
  2. Connect the output of power supply 1 to J3 (VOUT and PGND).
  3. Set power supply 1 for 20V DC, 8A current limit and then turn off power supply.
  4. Connect a voltage meter across J2 (VSYS) and J2 (PGND).
  5. Turn on power supply 1, measure V(J2(VSYS)) = 20V ± 0.5V.
