Use the following list to set up the EVM testing
equipment as shown in Figure 2-1.
- Install or customize EVM jumper connections.
- Only one shunt must be
installed for each group of headers: JP8-JP11, JP12-JP15, JP17-JP20 to
set the default cell count, cell voltage and precharge, fast charge and
termination current, respectively. The pins are read and register
defaults set at POR from either VIN or battery or after ILIM_HIZ is
pulled high. The cell count and voltage product sets the default battery
regulation voltage and minimum system voltage.
- Set PS #1 for 12V DC, 3A current limit and then turn off the supply.
- Connect the output of PS#1 in series with a current meter to J2 (VPWR and PGND).
- Connect a voltage meter across TP10 (VIN_K) and any AGND test point or across J2.
- Turn on Load #1, set to constant voltage mode, and output to 5V. Disable Load.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP15 and TP16 to measure the voltage across the
ACx sense resistor. The measurement divided by the sense resistor gives
IIN/IIN_REV input/output current.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP14 (SRN) and any AGND test point or across the J3 connector to measure battery voltage.
- Connect a voltage meter across TP8 and TP9 to
measure the voltage across the SRx sense resistor. The measurement divided by
the sense resistor gives battery current.
- Connect the EV2x00 or USB2ANY communication box to
the computer with the supplied USB cable and then to J6 or J7 respectively.
