2.4.3 Equipment Setup - Using a CV Load

BQ25853EVM Equipment Set Up Using a CV Load Figure 2-3 Equipment Set Up Using a CV Load

Use the following guidelines to set up and test the equipment:

  1. Set power supply #1 for 40VDC, 6A 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 23.5V at electronic load input.
  7. Connect J5 to the EV2500. Connect J5 to the I2C PORT 2 on the EV2500.
  8. Make sure the jumpers are installed as indicated in IO and Jumper Descriptions.
  9. Unplug Jumper 13.
  10. Turn on the computer and power supply #1. Open the bqStudio software.
    1. Select Charger and select the Next button.

  12. In 16 Bit Registers, set ICHG_REG to 4000mA.
  13. Plug in Jumper 13. Set EN_CHG to enabled.
  14. Set power supply #1 to 40V, measure

    V(J1(VAC)) = 40V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 2.4A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 4.0A ± 0.5A

  15. Set power supply #1 for 23V, measure

    V(J1(VAC)) = 23V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 4.1A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 4.0A ± 0.5A

  16. Set power supply #1 for 19V, measure

    V(J1(VAC)) = 19V ± 0.5V

    I(J1(IAC)) = 5A ± 0.5A

    V(J3(VBAT)) = 23.5V ± 0.5V

    I(J3(IBAT)) = 4.0A ± 0.5A
