INPUT CURRENT
Measuring Total Input Current (IVIN)
When measuring VINx input quiescent currents, take into
account that the evaluation board includes an LDO (U1) and
I2C input/output (I/O) expander (U2, U3A in Figure 7). The
LDO generates a 3.4 V VDDIO voltage for the I2C bus and
SYS_EN open-drain output, and the I/O expander controls
digital inputs DIG_IO1, DIG_IO2, and DIG_IO3.
In the ADP5063 evaluation board typical setup, U1 and U3 are
powered through a pin header, J3. Typically, the combined current
consumption of the U1 and the U3 are in the range of 1 mA to
2 mA. To separate the evaluation board quiescent current from
the ADP5063 VINx quiescent current, leave J3 open and connect
a second dc power supply (3.5 V to 5.0 V) to the test-point TP5
(see Figure 6).

VINx Current Limit
The VINx current limit of the ADP5063 can be evaluated in
charging mode. Note that the maximum programming for
the charge current into the battery (ISO_Bx) is 1300 mA. For
measuring the input current limit across the full programming
range from 100 mA to 2100 mA, an additional system load has
to be connected to the ISO_Sx pins.
To measure the VINx current limit, complete the following steps:
1. Set the VVIN supply voltage to 5.0 V.
2. Set the VISO_B voltage to 3.3 V on SMU B.
3. Enable charging by setting Register 0x07, Bit D0
(EN_CHG), high.
4. Confirm the ADP5063 charging mode:
•The Battery Status indicator on the GUI must show
BAT_SNS > Vweak (see Figure 2).
•The ADP5063 must start charging 80 mA to 90 mA
current into the battery.
5. Measure the current on VINx supply.
6. Use the GUI to change the input current limit programming
and repeat the measurement.
A 1300 mA charge current into the battery may not be large
enough to drive the input current up to the limit when the
current-limit programming values of 1200 mA or higher are used.
Connect an additional load on the ISO_Sx node to evaluate the
higher end of the input current limit programming range.
TRICKLE CHARGE CURRENT
Trickle charge can only be activated during a battery charging
start-up sequence, if the voltage level at the ISO_Bx pins is
lower than the VTRK_DEAD threshold (typically 2.0 V). When
VVIN is 5.0 V, initiate a charge start-up sequence by setting an
I2C write of Register 0x07, Bit D0 (EN_CHG), high. To measure
the trickle charge current level, complete the following steps:
1. Set the VISO_B voltage (SMU or battery simulator) to 1.8 V.
2. Set the VVIN supply voltage to 5.0 V.
3. Check that the GUI Charger Status indicator shows
Trickle Charge.
4. Check that the GUI Battery Status indicator shows
BAT_SNS < Vtrk.
5. Check the battery short detection:
•Wait for a 30 second timeout to expire.
•Check that the GUI shows that the I2C fault register
(Register 0x0D, Bit D3) BAT_SHR flag is set.
•Use the GUI to change the battery short timeout
setting from 1 second to 180 second.
6. Measure the trickle charge current level to the battery. The
default value for ITRK_DEAD is 20 mA. It is possible to change
the trickle charge current setting from 5 mA to 80 mA
using the GUI.
7. Adjust the VISO_B voltage up until the Battery Status indicator
shows Vtrk < BAT_SNS < Vweak.
8. The Charger Status indicator on the GUI should show Fast
Charge (CC-Mode). The charge current is now programmed
ICHG + ITRK_DEAD, if it is not limited by the input current limit.
