2.5.1 Equipment Set Up

BQ25750

Use the following guidelines to set up the equipment:

  1. Set power supply 1 for 23V 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. Install the jumpers 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.

  9. If using TI Charger GUI, 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 you are using:
      BQ25750
    3. You should see at the top-left, Hardware Connected. After you see the hardware is connected, select the plug icon on the left panel.
      BQ25750
    4. This is the Charger Configuration window. Click the Read All Register button at the top, then set WATCHDOG and EN_CHG to disabled. Set ICHG_REG to 4000mA and IPRECHG to 1000mA

  10. Turn on power supply 1, measure:

    V(J1(VAC)) = 23V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 4.1A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ± 0.5A

  11. Set power supply 1 for 40V, 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

  12. Set power supply 1 for 19V, measure:

    V(J1(VAC)) = 19V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 5.0A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 3.9A ± 0.5A

Use the following guidelines to test the BQ25750 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.
