2.3 Equipment Setup
Use the following guidelines to set up the equipment:
1. Set power supply #1 for 10-V DC, 5-A current limit and then turn off the supply.
2. Connect the output of power supply #1 in series with a current meter to J1 (VIN and PGND).
3. Connect a voltage meter across J1 (VIN) and J1 (PGND).
4. Connect load #1 in series with a current meter to J6 (VSYS and PGND). Connect a voltage meter across J6
(VSYS and PGND). Set 1 A at the constant current mode. Turn off load #1.
5. Connect Load #2 in series with a current meter to J5 (VBAT and PGND). Connect a voltage meter across J5
(VBAT and PGND). Set 7 V at KEPCO load output. Turn off Load #2.
Note
Add a 47-µF capacitor on the BAT pin when testing without real battery.
6. Connect J3 to the EV2400. Connect J3 to the I
2
C PORT 2 on the EV2400. The connections are shown in
