implement a power management block that harnesses battery power
during engine startup. The more effective way is to implement a power
management block with filters that further smoothes out residual spikes.
Power Management
Voltage regulation is done solely on the power management block,
which routes battery power to the ignition switch during engine startup,
while rendering conditioned output DC power to the vehicle’s electrical
parts. Please see figure below for power management.
Provide power only when ignition switch is turned on.
Be aware of battery voltage. It is prohibited to connect to the K530
when voltage is out of operating range. (K530 operation voltage is
9~32V.)
Do not apply power to K530S when the starter motor is engaged.
The power management system should allow the K530S to remain
powered on for a period of time after the ignition is switched off to
prevent battery drain. This time is typically user programmable.
