Test Procedure
Set up the evaluation board as described above, by making the necessary I/O
connections and jumper selections. Before test and evaluation, it is
important to verify that the maximum power dissipation on the IC is not
exceeded: P
(MAX)
= 1.5 watts.
1) Turn on the power supply, which was preset to 5.0 VDC and 1 A for the
current limit setting.
2) The bq24010/2 enters preconditioning mode if the battery is below the
V
(LOWV)
threshold. In this mode, the bq24010/2 precharges the battery
with a low current (typically I
O(CHG)
/10 = 0.7A/10 = 70 mA) until the battery
voltage reaches the V
(LOWV)
threshold or until the precharge timer
expires. If the timer expires, then the charge current is terminated, the
bq24010/2 enters fault mode, and both LEDs turn off. Toggling input power
or battery replacement resets fault mode.
3) Once the battery voltage is above the V
(LOWV)
threshold, the battery
enters fast-charge mode. This EVM is programmed for 0.7 amps of fast
charging current.
4) Once the battery reaches voltage regulation (4.2 V), the current tapers
down as the battery reaches its full capacity.
5) The battery remains at the fast-charge mode until the fast-charge timer
expires, the charge taper time expires, or the charge termination threshold
is reached.
6) If the battery discharges to the recharge threshold, the charger starts fast
charging.
