Ammeter (DMM1)
One NCP1423 Evaluation Board
Voltmeter (DMM2)
Electronic Load
Test Procedure:
3.3V Output Version
1. Setup the Equipments
Set the power supply voltage to 2.5 V.
Set the electronic load loading current to 50 mA.
DMM1 (A) as ammeter, measures the input current (IIN).
DMM2 (V) as voltmeter, measures the output voltage (VOUT).
2. Connect the equipment and the demo board. (Figure 1)
Connect a power supply with 4-wire sensing across VBAT and GND.
Connect an electronic load across VOUT and GND.
3. Setup the Demo Board Jumpers. (Refer to table on board)
Remove the jumper link from:
JP1 to Enable the device
JP2 to Enable Auto Discharge
4. Measuring Result:
a. For IOUT = 50 mA, measure
VOUT= 3.15 V to 3.45 V
IIN = 70 mA to 80 mA
b. For IOUT = 350 mA, measure
VOUT = 3.15 V to 3.45 V
IIN = 490 mA to 540 mA
5. LBO Test
Set VBAT low, between 1.1 V and 1.3 V; measure the voltage at LBO pin. LBO voltage status will change from Low
to High as VBAT is changed from low to high.
6. ADEN Test
With very small or no load, set the ADEN pin (JP2) to enable. Measure the output voltage waveforms or the time it
takes for VOUT to discharge on the voltmeter. Repeat for ADEN disabled. The output voltage discharge time should
be faster when ADEN is enabled then when it is disabled.
