QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1496B is easy to set up to evaluate 
the performance of the LTC2941/LTC2942/LTC2941-1/
LTC2942-1. Refer to Figure 2 for proper measurement 
equipment setup and follow the procedure below.

1.  Connect a 1-cell Li-Ion battery across V_BAT and 

GND.

2.  Connect a load across V_CHRG/LD and GND for battery 

discharge measurement. Up to 500mA supplied from 
the battery can be measured with the board default 
100mΩ sense resistor or 50mΩ internal resistor. Use 
SENSE

+

 and SENSE

 test points to read voltage across 

the sense resistor.

3. Connect a 2.7V to 5.5V battery charger supply across 

V_CHRG/LD and GND. Up to 500mA supplied to the 
battery can be measured with the board default 100mΩ 
sense resistor. Use SENSE

+

 and SENSE

 test points to 

read voltage across the sense resistor. 

4.  Connect a DC590 to 14-pin connector J1 for evaluation 

with QuikEval, or connect a host controller I

2

C bus to 

the SDA, SCL and GND test turrets.

5. Set JP1 to QuikEval if a DC590 is present. Otherwise 

set JP1 to Bat/Chrg for bus pull-up to the battery, or 
fl oat JP1 and supply a bus pull-up voltage to VP.

6. Read and write to the LTC2941/LTC2942 through I

2

C.

7. Through  I

2

C, configure the 

AL

/CC pin. Set JP2 

accordingly.

8 If 

AL

/CC is set for charge complete, use pushbutton 

switch S1 to simulate a logic high from a controller to 
indicate a fully charged battery.
