Recommended Test Procedure
The following test procedure may be useful for evaluating the charger IC outside of a real system, if no
battery is available to connect to the output and a simulated battery is needed.
2.4.1
Charge Voltage and Current Regulation of IN
1. Ensure that the
steps are followed.
2. Move JP2 (CE1 or CE) = HI and JP6 = HI.
3. Connect the output of Power Supply #1 (PS #1) in series with current meter number 1 (CM1) to J2 (IN,
GND).
4. Connect voltage meter number 1 (VM1) across J1 or TP1 and J3 or TP6 (IN, GND).
5. With PS2 disabled, turn on PS1.
6. Measure:
Measure on VM3
→
V(J5/TP4(SYS),J9(GND)) = 4.3 ± 100 mV
Measure on VM4
→
V(J13(DRV),J15(GND)) = 5.2 ± 200 mV
7. Move JP2 (CE1 or CE) = LO and JP6 = LO. Adjust the power supply so that VM1 still reads 6 V ± 100
mV if necessary.
8. Enable PS2 and adjust PS2 so that the voltage measured by VM2, across BAT and GND, measures
3.2 V + 50 mV
9. Measure and Observe:
Measure on CM2
