Recommended Test Procedure
The following test procedure is useful in evaluating the charger IC outside of a real system, especially
when no battery is available to connect to the output (i.e., Load #1).
2.4.1
System Voltage and Default Charge Settings
1. Ensure that the
steps are followed.
2. Connect the output of PS #1 in series with CM #1 to J2 (USB, GND).
3. Connect voltage meter 1 (VM #1) across J1 or TP2 and J3 (USB, GND).
4. With PS #2 disabled, turn on PS #1.
5. Ensure the electronic load is on current mode and set the current to 1 A or turn down the resistor
decade box until CM #3 measures 1000 ±100 mA.
