2.3 Equipment

This section includes a list of supplies required to perform tests on this EVM.

  1. Power Supplies: Power Supply #1 (PS #1): A power supply capable of supplying no higher than 34V at 3.3A is required.
  2. Load #1 for simulating a battery: Best option: 4-Quadrant Supply, voltage sourcing and sinking up to 34V and ±3.3A (or higher). A 1000uF capacitor connected in parallel is also recommended.

    Alternative Option: Up to 34V, at least 3.3A, DC electronic load set in a constant voltage loading mode. A second power supply connected by a diode in parallel with the electronic load can be needed to apply a start-up voltage less than simulated battery voltage.
  3. Load #2 for simulating a load on SYS or to connect to VPWR for a load in reverse/OTG/source mode: Electronic or resistive load capable sinking at least 3.3A from up to 34V.
  4. Meters: 4x "Fluke 75" multi-meters, (equivalent or better).
  5. Computer: A Windows 10 or 11 based computer with at least one USB port and a USB cable. Must have the latest version of Battery Management Studio installed.
  6. USB Communication Kit:EV2400 or EV2500 USB-based PC communication box or board OR USB2ANY communication box.
  7. Software:If using EV2x00, BQSTUDIO software with latest .bqz file for the correct BQ2569X IC provided by Texas Instruments. Download and install BQSTUDIO from BQSTUDIO. If using USB2ANY, TI's online CHARGER-GUI can be accessed here.
