Test Summary
c) Disconnect any other unsure SMBus connection. Plug USB cable back to the original
EVM2300 installation USB port.
d) Open the bq24725A/735 evaluation software. The main window of the software is shown in
Figure 3.
3. In the software main window, click all the Read buttons.
a) Type in 512 (mA) in the Charge Current DAC, and click Write. This sets the battery charge
current regulation threshold.
b) Type in 12592 (mV) in the Charge Voltage DAC, and click Write. This sets the battery voltage
regulation threshold.
c) Measure → V(J2(BAT)) = 12.6 V ± 200 mV
2.4.3 Charge Current and ac Current Regulation, DPM
1. Type in 7801 in the Charge Option, and click Write; this disable
charging.
2. Connect the Load #2 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J2 (BAT, GND).
Ensure that a voltage meter is connected across J2 (BAT, GND). Turn on the Load #2. Use the
constant voltage mode. Set the output voltage to 10.5 V.
3. Connect the output of the Load #1 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J2 (SYS, GND).
Ensure that a voltage meter is connected across J2 (SYS, GND). Turn on the power of the Load
#1. Set the load current to 3 A ± 50 mA but disable the output. The setup is now like Figure 4 for
HPA710. Ensure that Ibat = 0 A ± 10 mA and Isys = 0 A ± 10 mA.

4. Type in 7800 in the Charge Option, and click Write, this enable charging.
Measure → Ibat = 500 mA ± 100 mA
