bq24351EVM for Li-Ion Charger Front-End Protection IC
This user's guide describes the features, setup, and operation of the bq24351EVM evaluation module.
Included are the bill of materials, board layout, and schematic.
The bq24351 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete charger module for evaluating a charger front-end
protection and charger solution using the bq24351 and bq2057C devices. It is designed to deliver up to
560 mA of charge current to Li-ion or Li-polymer applications. The charger front-end protection current is
designed to 1.2 A.
The bq24351 protects the charging system against three types of failures: input overvoltage when the ac
adapter fails to regulate its voltage, load overcurrent when failures such as a short circuit occur in the
charging system, and battery overcharge.
For details, see the bq24351 data sheet (SLUSA62).

2.2Equipment
2.2.1Power Supplies
Power supply 1 (PS 1): a power supply capable of supplying 15 V at 2 A is required.
SLUU455–October 2010bq24351EVM for Li-Ion Charger Front-End Protection IC
A 10-V (or above), 2-A (or above) electronic load that can operate in constant-current mode.
2.2.3Load 2
A 10-V (or above), 2-A (or above) electronic load that can operate in constant-voltage mode.
2.2.4Meters
Four Fluke 75 multimeters (equivalent or better)
Or:
Three equivalent voltage meters and one equivalent current meter
The current meter must be capable of measuring 2-A+ current.
2.2.5Wire Gauge
All wires connected to the EVM input power supply and output load must be at least AWG 22. The
maximum current is up to 1 A.
2.3Equipment Setup
1. Set PS 1 for 0 V ±100 mVdc, 2 ± 0.1 A current limit, and then disable the output.
2. Connect the output of PS 1 to J1 (DC+, DC–).
3. Connect a voltage meter across J1 (DC+, DC–).
4. Connect the output of load 1 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J2 (CHGIN) and J3 (GND).
Turn on the power of load 1. Set the load current to 1.5 A ±50 mA, but disable the output.
5. Connect the output of load 2 in series with a current meter (multimeter) to J4 (BAT+, BAT–).
6. Connect a voltage meter across J4 (BAT+, BAT–).
