Observation and measurements
-
SRC
: Equal to the cold-start voltage during the cold-
start phase. Regulated at the selected MPPT percent-
age of
Voc
when cold start is over (see Figure 6). Be
careful that the cold-start phase time will shorten with
the input power. Limit it to ease the observation.
-
BATT
: Starts to charge when the cold-start phase is over
(see Figure 6).

Dual-cell supercapacitor balancing circuit
This test allows users to observe the balancing circuit behavior
that maintains the voltage on BAL equilibrated.
Setup
1. Following steps 1 and 2 explained in Section 2.1 and re-
ferring to Figure 1, configure the board in the desired
state. Plug the jumper linking ”BAL” to ”ToCN”.
2.
BATT
: Plug capacitor C1 between the positive (+) and
the BAL pins and a capacitor C2 between BAL and the
negative (-) pins.
Select C1
