2.1 Equipment

This section includes a list of supplies required to perform tests on the BQ25672EVM.

  • Power Supplies for VBUS pin: Power Supply #1 (PS1): A power supply capable of supplying up to 24 V at 3 A is required.
  • Battery Simulator for BAT pin: Load #1 (4-Quadrant Supply): A Kepco Load, BOP, 20-5M, DC 0 to ±20 V, 0 to ±6 A (or higher) or a Keithley 2450 3-A source meter. When using both, a 1000-µF or higher, low ESR, 25-V rated or higher connected at the EVM battery and ground terminals is recommended.
    Alternative Option: A 0–20 V/0–5 A, > 60-W DC electronic load set in a constant voltage loading mode in parallel with a second power supply can be used. The second power supply is set to a voltage slightly below the electronic load's constant voltage setting. When enabled, the charger's charge current then replaces the current provided the second power supply.
  • System load simulator for SYS pin:Load #2( Electronic load set to constant resistance or Resistive Load): 10 Ω, 5 W (or higher)
  • Meters: (6x) "Fluke 75" multimeters, (equivalent or better).
    Alternative Option: (4x) equivalent voltage meters and (2x) equivalent current meters. The current meters must be capable of measuring at least 5 A. If used in series between the PS#1, Load#1 or Load#2, the meters should be set for manual not auto ranging. Current meters add significant series resistance which affects charger performance.
  • Computer: A computer with at least one USB port and a USB cable. A valid internet connection is required when using the GUI Composer application.
  • PC Communication Interface:EV2300/2400 USB-Based PC Interface Board (when using Battery Management Studio) or USB2ANY interface adapter (when using TI Charger GUI).
