QUICK START PROCEDURE
Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement
equipment setup and jumper settings and follow the
procedure below.
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage ripple, care
must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the oscilloscope
probe. Measure the input or output voltage ripple by touching the
probe tip directly across the VBUS or Vcc and GND terminals. See
Figure 2 for proper scope probe technique.
1. Set PS1 = 12V, PS2 = 3.6V, “VFLOAT” (JP2) to
4.1V. Observe I(VBUS) (AM1). The voltage on
the battery is below the LTC4070EDDB’s float
voltage. So all the current is flowing into the bat-
tery, and that current is (12V – 3.6V) /169(R1) =
49.7mA.
2. If “LBO” LED lit, decrease PS2 until off. Observe
BAT (VM2). The LBO output goes high when the
battery voltage is below 3.2V, but it has 200-
300mV of hysteresis. So it may not go low until
3.5V, with Vcc ↑.
3. Increase PS2 until LBO is lit. Observe BAT
(VM2).
4. Increase PS2 until HBO lit. Observe BAT (VM2).
The HBO LED will light when the battery voltage
is within ~50mV of the float voltage.
5. Disconnect PS2, AM2, and 3.6Ωresistor. Ob-
serve BAT (VM2). The only limit to the Vcc volt-
age now is the LTC4070, so the voltage will rise
to the float voltage.
6. Reset the Jumpers to their default position.
