Test Setup with the Evaluation Board

8 Test Setup with the Evaluation Board

The test setup is shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9. Connect a DC power source with a larger than 2.0A current limit to the AC pad or a USB power port to the USB pad on the evaluation board. Connect the positive and negative polarities of the Li+ battery to the VBAT pad and the GND pad on the evaluation board respectively. Use a current meter and a voltage meter to measure the charge current and the voltage respectively. Turn on the power supply and let the VBATDET is less than 1.75V to enable the MC34676B, then the evaluation board starts charging the battery.
