To set up the hardware, follow the
instructions below:
- Connect the J1 and J7 mating
connectors of the TPS26750EVM to the reciprocal connectors on the provided
BQ25756 interposer board. The silk-screen BQ25756 on the BQ25756
Interposer Board must oriented on the same plane as the top of the TPS26750EVM.
See Figure 1-2
- Unscrew the screws on headers J1 and J3 of the BQ25756EVM enough for the BQ25756
interposer board prongs to fit into the aforementioned headers.
- Insert the other side of the
BQ25756 interposer board to headers J1 and J3 on the BQ25756EVM. Make sure the
prongs are inserted all the way into the headers.
Note: Repeated insertion and
removal of TPS26750EVM mating connectors from the BQ25756 interposer board
(depending upon how the boards are grasped and pulled) can cause the prongs
on the side of the interposer board connected to the BQ25756EVM to come out
of the J1 and J3 headers enough to cause an insufficient electrical
connection between the BQ25756EVM and the TPS26750EVM. Please recheck
interposer board connections when detaching and re-attaching BQ25756EVM
from the TPS26750EVM.
- Tighten the screws on headers J1 and J3 of the BQ25756EVM.
- Attach the ribbon cable to header
J9 on the TPS26750EVM as shown in Figure 1-2 . Attach the other end of the ribbon cable to header J8 of
the BQ25756EVM.
- Connect the other end of the
ribbon cable to J8 header of the BQ25756(E)EVM.
- To power the board using a
simulated battery, connect the simulated battery to header J3 in the orientation
shown on the silkscreen (+ and - symbols next to J3).
- For setting the proper jumper for
battery charging application, refer to BQ25756 Evaluation Module User's
Guide. Incorrect jumper settings or insufficient input power can
result in a faulty evaluation.
