2.3 Recommended Test Equipment Setup
1. Set Power Supply #1 for 5 V ± 100 mVdc, 2-A ± 0.1-A current limit, and then turn off supply.
2. Connect the output of Power Supply #1 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J1 (VIN, GND).
3. Connect a voltage meter across J4 and J5 (VIN, GND).
4. Connect the Load #2 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J7 (BAT, GND). Ensure that a
voltage meter is connected across J10 or TP10 and J11 or TP11 (BAT, GND).
5. Turn on the Load #2. Use the constant voltage mode. Set the output voltage to 2.5 V.
6. Turn off Load #2.
7. Connect the HPA172 USB-TO-GPIO to J2 using the 10-pin ribbon cable. Connect the USB port of the
HPA172 kit to the USB port of the computer. The connections are shown in Figure 1.
