The AD8451 is a precision analog front end and controller for
testing and monitoring battery cells. A precision fixed gain
instrumentation amplifier (IA) measures the battery charge/
discharge current, and a fixed gain difference amplifier (DA)
measures the battery voltage (see Figure 1). Internal laser
trimmed resistor networks set the gains for the IA and the DA,
optimizing the performance of the AD8451 over the rated
temperature range. The IA gain is 26 V/V and the DA gain is
0.8 V/V.
Voltages at the ISET and VSET inputs set the desired constant
current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) values. CC to CV
switching is automatic and transparent to the system.
A TTL logic level input, MODE, selects the charge or discharge
mode (high for charge, and low for discharge). An analog output,
VCTRL, interfaces directly with the Analog Devices, Inc.,
ADP1972 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller.
APPLICATIONS
The AD8451 simplifies designs by providing excellent accuracy,
performance over temperature, flexibility with functionality,
and overall reliability in a space-saving package. The AD8451 is
available in an 80-lead, 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.40 mm LQFP and
is rated for an operating temperature of −40°C to +85°C.

AD8451
THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The AD8451 provides two control loops—CC loop and a CV
loop—that transition automatically after the battery reaches the
user defined target voltage. These loops are implemented via two
precision specialty amplifiers with external feedback networks
that set the transfer function of the CC and CV loops.
Moreover, in the AD8451, these loops reconfigure themselves to
charge or discharge the battery by toggling the MODE pin.
To form and test a battery, the battery must undergo charge and
discharge cycles. During these cycles, the battery terminal current
and voltage must be precisely controlled to prevent battery failure
or a reduction in the capacity of the battery. Therefore, battery
formation and test systems require a high precision analog front
end to monitor the battery current and terminal voltage. The
analog front end of the AD8451 includes a precision current
sense fixed gain instrumentation amplifier (IA) to measure the
battery current and a precision voltage sense fixed gain difference
amplifier (DA) to measure the battery voltage.
Figure 42 is a block diagram of the AD8451 that illustrates
the distinct sections of the AD8451, including the IA and DA
measurement blocks, and the loop filter amplifiers. Figure 43 is a
block diagram of a battery formation and test system.

Battery formation and test systems charge and discharge batteries
using a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) algorithm. In
other words, the system first forces a set constant current into
or out of the battery until the battery voltage reaches a target
value. At this point, a set constant voltage is forced across the
battery terminals.

INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER (IA)
Reversing Polarity When Charging and Discharging
Figure 43 shows that during the charge cycle, the power converter
feeds current into the battery, generating a positive voltage across
the current sense resistor. During the discharge cycle, the power
converter draws current from the battery, generating a negative
voltage across the sense resistor. In other words, the battery current
polarity reverses when the battery discharges.
In the CC control loop, this change in polarity can be problematic
if the polarity of the target current is not reversed. To solve this
problem, the AD8451 IA includes a multiplexer preceding its
inputs that inverts the polarity of the IA gain. This multiplexer
is controlled via the MODE pin. When the MODE pin is logic
high (charge mode), the IA gain is noninverting, and when the
MODE pin is logic low (discharge mode), the IA gain is
inverting.

IA Offset Option
As shown in Figure 44, the IA reference node is connected to
the ISREFL and ISREFH pins via an internal resistor divider.
This resistor divider can be used to introduce a temperature
insensitive offset to the output of the IA such that it always
reads a voltage higher than zero for a zero differential input.
Because the output voltage of the IA is always positive, a
unipolar analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can digitize it.
Rev. 0 | Page 18 of 32
12137-044
Figure 44 is a block diagram of the IA, which is used to monitor the
battery current. The architecture of the IA is the classic 3-op-amp
topology, similar to the Analog Devices industry-standard
AD8221 and AD620, with a fixed gain of 26. This architecture
provides the highest achievable CMRR at a given gain, enabling
high-side battery current sensing without the introduction of
significant errors in the measurement. For more information
about instrumentation amplifiers, see A Designer's Guide to
Instrumentation Amplifiers.

When the ISREFH pin is tied to the VREF pin with the ISREFL
pin grounded, the voltage at the ISMEA pin is increased by 20 mV,
guaranteeing that the output of the IA is always positive for zero
differential inputs. Other voltage shifts can be realized by tying
the ISREFH pin to an external voltage source. The gain from the
ISREFH pin to the ISMEA pin is 8 mV/V. For zero offset, tie
the ISREFL and ISREFH pins to ground.
The resistors that form the DA gain network are laser trimmed
to a matching level better than ±0.1%. This level of matching
minimizes the gain error and gain error drift of the DA while
maximizing the CMRR of the DA. This matching also allows
the controller to set a stable target voltage for the battery over
temperature while rejecting the ground bounce in the battery
negative terminal.
Battery Reversal and Overvoltage Protection
Like the IA, the DA can also level shift its output voltage via an
internal resistor divider that is tied to the DA reference node. This
resistor divider is connected to the BVREFH and BVREFL pins.
The AD8451 IA can be configured for high-side or low-side
current sensing. If the IA is configured for high-side current
sensing (see Figure 43) and the battery is connected backward,
the IA inputs may be held at a voltage that is below the negative
power rail (AVEE), depending on the battery voltage.
To prevent damage to the IA under these conditions, the IA
inputs include overvoltage protection circuitry that allows them
to be held at voltages of up to 55 V from the opposite power
rail. In other words, the safe voltage span for the IA inputs
extends from AVCC − 55 V to AVEE + 55 V.
DIFFERENCE AMPLIFIER (DA)
Figure 45 is a block diagram of the DA, which is used to monitor
the battery voltage. The architecture of the DA is a subtractor
amplifier with a fixed gain of 0.8. This gain value allows the DA to
funnel the voltage of a 5 V battery to a level that can be read by
a 5 V ADC with a 4.096 V reference.

When the BVREFH pin is tied to the VREF pin with the BVREFL
pin grounded, the voltage at the BVMEA pin is increased by 5 mV,
guaranteeing that the output of the DA is always positive for
zero differential inputs. Other voltage shifts can be realized by
tying the BVREFH pin to an external voltage source. The gain
from the BVREFH pin to the BVMEA pin is 2 mV/V. For zero
offset, tie the BVREFL and BVREFH pins to ground.
Using external components, the amplifiers implement active
loop filters that set the dynamics (transfer function) of the
CC and CV loops.
The amplifiers perform a seamless transition from CC to
CV mode after the battery reaches its target voltage.
Figure 46 is the functional block diagram of the AD8451 CC
and CV feedback loops for charge mode (MODE logic pin is high).
For illustration purposes, the external networks connected to
the loop amplifiers are simple RC networks configured to form
single-pole inverting integrators. The outputs of the CC and CV
loop filter amplifiers are coupled to the VINT pins via an analog
NOR circuit (minimum output selector circuit), such that they can
only pull the VINT node down. In other words, the loop amplifier
that requires the lowest voltage at the VINT pins is in control of
the node. Thus, only one loop amplifier, CC or CV, can be in
control of the system charging control loop at any given time.

where:

GDA is the DA gain.
Because the offset voltage of the loop amplifiers is in series with
the target voltage sources, VISET and VVSET, the high precision of
these amplifiers minimizes this source of error.
Figure 47 shows a typical CC/CV charging profile for a Li-Ion
battery. In the first stage of the charging process, the battery is
charged with a CC of 1 A. When the battery voltage reaches a
target voltage of 4.2 V, the charging process transitions such that
the battery is charged with a CV of 4.2 V.
The following steps describe how the AD8451 implements the
CC/CV charging profile (see Figure 46). In this scenario, the
battery begins in the fully discharged state, and the system has
just been turned on such that IBAT = 0 A at Time 0.

The unity-gain amplifier (VINT buffer) buffers the VINT pins
and drives the VCTRL pin. The VCTRL pin is the control output
of the AD8451 and the control input of the power converter. The
VISET and VVSET voltage sources set the target constant current and
the target constant voltage, respectively. When the CC and CV
feedback loops are in a steady state, the charging current is set at

Because the voltages at the ISMEA and BVMEA pins
are less than the target voltages (VISET and VVSET) at Time 0,
both integrators begin to ramp, increasing the voltage at
the VINT node.
Rev. 0 | Page 20 of 32
As the voltage at the VINT node increases, the voltage at
the VCRTL node rises, and the output current of the power
converter, IBAT, increases (assuming that an increasing voltage
at the VCRTL node increases the output current of the
power converter).
When the IBAT current reaches the CC steady state value,
IBAT_SS, the battery voltage is still less than the target steady
state value, VBAT_SS. Therefore, the CV loop tries to keep
pulling the VINT node up while the CC loop tries to keep
it at its current voltage. At this point, the voltage at the ISMEA
pin equals VISET; therefore, the CC loop stops integrating.
Because the loop amplifiers can only pull the VINT node
down due to the analog NOR circuit, the CC loop takes
control of the charging feedback loop, and the CV loop is
disabled.
As the charging process continues, the battery voltage
increases until it reaches the steady state value, VBAT_SS, and
the voltage at the BVMEA pin reaches the target voltage, VVSET.

AD8451
the internal switches in the CC and CV amplifiers, the frequency
response of the loops in charge mode does not affect the
frequency response of the loops in discharge mode.
The CV loop tries to pull the VINT node down to reduce
the charging current (IBAT) and prevent the battery voltage
from rising any further. At the same time, the CC loop tries
to keep the VINT node at its current voltage to keep the
battery current at IBAT_SS.
Because the loop amplifiers can only pull the VINT node
down due to the analog NOR circuit, the CV loop takes
control of the charging feedback loop, and the CC loop is
disabled.
Unlike simpler controllers that use passive networks to ground
for frequency compensation, the AD8451 allows the use of
feedback networks for its CC and CV loop filter amplifiers.
These networks enable the implementation of both
proportional differentiator (PD) Type II and proportional
integrator differentiator (PID) Type III compensators. Note
that in charge mode, both the CC and CV loops implement
inverting compensators, whereas in discharge mode, the CC
loop implements an inverting compensator, and the CV loop
implements a noninverting compensator. As a result, the CV loop
in discharge mode includes an additional amplifier, VSET buffer, to
buffer the VSET node from the feedback network (see Figure 48).
The analog NOR (minimum output selector) circuit that couples
the outputs of the loop amplifiers is optimized to minimize the
transition time from CC to CV control. Any delay in the transition
causes the CC loop to remain in control of the charge feedback
loop after the battery voltage reaches its target value. Therefore,
the battery voltage continues to rise beyond VBAT_SS until the
control loop transitions; that is, the battery voltage overshoots
its target voltage. When the CV loop takes control of the charge
feedback loop, it reduces the battery voltage to the target voltage.
A large overshoot in the battery voltage due to transition delays
can damage the battery; thus, it is crucial to minimize delays by
implementing a fast CC to CV transition.
VINT Buffer
The unity-gain amplifier (VINT buffer) is a clamp amplifier
that drives the VCTRL pin. The VCTRL pin is the control
output of the AD8451 and the control input of the power
converter (see Figure 46 and Figure 48). The output voltage
range of this amplifier is bounded by the clamp voltages at the
VCLP and VCLN pins such that
Figure 48 is the functional block diagram of the AD8451 CC
and CV feedback loops for discharge mode (MODE logic pin is
low). In discharge mode, the feedback loops operate in a similar
manner as in charge mode. The only difference is in the CV
loop amplifier, which operates as a noninverting integrator in
discharge mode. For illustration purposes, the external networks
connected to the loop amplifiers are simple RC networks
configured to form single-pole integrators (see Figure 48).
The reduction in the output voltage range of the amplifier is a
safety feature that allows the AD8451 to drive devices such as
the ADP1972 PWM controller, whose input voltage range must
not exceed 5.5 V (that is, the voltage at the COMP pin of the
ADP1972 must be below 5.5 V).
Compensation
MODE PIN, CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CONTROL
In battery formation and test systems, the CC and CV feedback
loops have significantly different open-loop gain and crossover
frequencies; therefore, each loop requires its own frequency
compensation. The active filter architecture of the AD8451 CC
and CV loops allows the frequency response of each loop to be
set independently via external components. Moreover, due to
The MODE pin is a TTL logic input that configures the AD8451
for either charge or discharge mode. A logic low (VMODE < 0.8 V)
corresponds to discharge mode, and a logic high (VMODE > 2 V)
corresponds to charge mode. Internal to the AD8451, the MODE
pin toggles all single-pole, double throw (SPDT) switches in the
CC and CV loop amplifiers and inverts the gain polarity of the IA.

a battery formation and test system. This section includes a
design example of a small scale model of an actual system.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
•
The AD8451 is a precision analog front end and controller for
battery formation and test systems. These systems use precision
controllers and power stages to put batteries through charge and
discharge cycles. Figure 49 shows the signal path of a simplified
switching battery formation and test system using the AD8451
controller and the ADP1972 PWM controller. For more
information on the ADP1972, see the ADP1972 data sheet.
The AD8451 is suitable for systems that form and test NiCad,
NiMH, and Li-Ion batteries and is designed to operate in
conjunction with both linear and switching power stages.
A logic input pin (MODE) that changes the configuration of the
controller from charge to discharge mode. A logic high at the
MODE pin configures charge mode; a logic low configures
discharge mode.

current.

AD8451
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Optional Low-Pass Filter
The AD8451 requires two analog power supplies (AVCC and
AVEE), one digital power supply (DVCC), one analog ground
(AGND), and one digital ground (DGND). AVCC and AVEE
power all the analog blocks, including the IA, DA, and op amps,
and DVCC powers the MODE input logic. AGND provides a
reference and return path for the 2.5 V reference, and DGND
provides a reference and return path for the digital circuitry.
The AD8451 is designed to control both linear regulators and
switching power converters. Linear regulators are generally
noise free, whereas switch mode power converters generate
switching noise. Connecting an external differential low-pass
filter between the current sensor and the IA inputs reduces the
injection of switching noise into the IA (see Figure 50).
ISVP
Connect decoupling capacitors to all the supply pins. A 1 µF
capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor is recommended.
CURRENT SENSE IA CONNECTIONS
For a description of the IA, see the Theory of Operation section,
Figure 42, and Figure 44. The IA fixed gain is 26.
Current Sensors
Two common options for current sensors are isolated current
sensing transducers and shunt resistors. Isolated current sensing
transducers are galvanically isolated from the power converter
and are affected less by the high frequency noise generated by
switch mode power supplies. Shunt resistors are less expensive
and easier to deploy.
If a shunt resistor sensor is used, a 4-terminal, low resistance shunt
resistor is recommended. Two of the four terminals conduct the
battery current, whereas the other two terminals conduct virtually
no current. The terminals that conduct no current are sense
terminals that are used to measure the voltage drop across the
resistor (and, therefore, the current flowing through it) using an
amplifier such as the IA of the AD8451. To interface the IA with
the current sensor, connect the sense terminals of the sensor to
the ISVP and ISVN pins of the AD8451 (see Figure 50).

A commonly used power supply combination is +15 V for
AVCC, −15 V for AVEE, and +5 V for DVCC. The +15 V rail
for AVCC provides enough headroom to the IA such that it can
be connected in a high-side current sensing configuration. The
−15 V rail for AVEE allows the DA to sense accidental reverse
battery conditions (see the Reverse Battery Conditions section).
10kΩ
+
The rated absolute maximum value for AVCC − AVEE is 36 V,
and the minimum operating AVCC and AVEE voltages are +5 V
and −5 V, respectively. Due to the high PSRR of the AD8451
analog blocks, AVCC can be connected directly to the high current
power bus (the input voltage of the power converter) without
risking the injection of supply noise to the controller outputs.

VOLTAGE SENSE DA CONNECTIONS
For a description of the DA, see the Theory of Operation
section, Figure 42, and Figure 45. The DA fixed gain is 0.8.
Reverse Battery Conditions
The output voltage of the AD8451 DA can be used to detect a
reverse battery connection. A −15 V rail for AVEE allows the
output of the DA to go below ground when the battery is
connected backward. Therefore, the condition can be detected
by monitoring the BVMEA pin for a negative voltage.
BATTERY CURRENT AND VOLTAGE CONTROL
INPUTS (ISET AND VSET)
The voltages at the ISET and VSET input pins set the target
battery current and voltage for the CC and CV loops. These
inputs must be driven by a precision voltage source (or a digitalto-analog converter [DAC] connected to a precision reference)
whose output voltage is referenced to the same voltage as the IA
and DA reference pins (ISREFH/ISREFL and BVREFH/BVREFL,
respectively). For example, if the IA reference pins are connected
to AGND, the voltage source connected to ISET must also be
referenced to AGND. In the same way, if the DA reference pins
are connected to AGND, the voltage source connected to VSET
must also be referenced to AGND.
In constant current mode, when the CC feedback loop is in a
steady state, the ISET input sets the battery current as follows:
IBAT_SS =

where:

G DA
where GDA is the DA gain.
Therefore, the accuracy and temperature stability of the formation
and test system are not only dependent on the precision of the
AD8451, but also on the accuracy of the ISET and VSET inputs.
LOOP FILTER AMPLIFIERS
The AD8451 has two loop filter amplifiers, also known as error
amplifiers (see Figure 49). One amplifier is for constant current
control (CC loop filter amplifier), and the other amplifier is for
constant voltage control (CV loop filter amplifier). The outputs
of these amplifiers are combined using a minimum output
selector circuit to perform automatic CC to CV switching.
Table 5 lists the inputs of the loop filter amplifiers for charge
mode and discharge mode.

The CC and CV amplifiers in charge mode and the CC amplifier
in discharge mode are inverting integrators, whereas the CV
amplifier in discharge mode is a noninverting integrator. Therefore,
the CV amplifier in discharge mode uses an extra amplifier, the
VSET buffer, to buffer the VSET input pin (see Figure 42). In
addition, the CV amplifier in discharge mode uses the VVP0
pin to couple the signal from the BVMEA pin to the integrator.
Given the architecture of the AD8451, the controller requires
that an increasing voltage at the VCTRL pin translates to a
larger output current in the power converter. If this is not the
case, a unity-gain inverting amplifier can be added in series
with the AD8451 output to add an extra inversion.
STEP-BY-STEP DESIGN EXAMPLE
This section describes the systematic design of a 1 A battery
charger/discharger using the AD8451 controller and the
ADP1972 PWM controller. The power converter used in this
design is a nonisolated buck boost dc-to-dc converter. The target
battery is a 4.2 V fully charged, 2.7 V fully discharged Li-Ion
battery.
Step 1: Design the Switching Power Converter
Select the switches and passive components of the buck boost
power converter to support the 1 A maximum battery current.
The design of the power converter is beyond the scope of this
data sheet; however, there are many application notes and other
helpful documents available from manufacturers of integrated
driver circuits and power MOSFET output devices that can be
used for reference.
Step 2: Identify the Control Voltage Range of the
ADP1972
The control voltage range of the ADP1972 (voltage range of the
COMP input pin) is 0.5 V to 4.5 V. An input voltage of 4.5 V
results in the highest duty cycle and output current, whereas an
input voltage of 0.5 V results in the lowest duty cycle and output
current. Because the COMP pin connects directly to the VCTRL
output pin of the AD8451, the battery current is proportional to
the voltage at the VCTRL pin.
For information about how to interface the ADP1972 to the
power converter switches, see the ADP1972 data sheet.
Step 3: Determine the Control Voltage for the CV Loop
The relationship between the control voltage for the CV loop
(the voltage at the VSET pin), the target battery voltage, and the
DA gain is as follows:
CONNECTING TO A PWM CONTROLLER (VCTRL PIN)
The VCTRL output pin of the AD8451 is designed to interface
with linear power converters and with PWM controllers such as
the ADP1972. The voltage range of the VCTRL output pin is
bound by the voltages at the VCLP and VCLN pins, as follows:
VVCLN − 0.5 V < VVCTRL < VVCLP + 0.5 V
CV Battery Target Voltage =
VVSET VVSET
=
G DA
0. 8
In charge mode, for a CV battery target voltage of 4.2 V, select a
CV control voltage of 3.36 V. In discharge mode, for a CV
battery target voltage of 2.7 V, select a CV control voltage of
2.16 V.
Because the maximum rated input voltage at the COMP pin of
the ADP1972 is 5.5 V, connect the clamp voltages of the output
amplifier to 5 V (VCLP) and ground (VCLN) to prevent overranging of the COMP input. As an additional precaution, install
an external 5.1 V Zener diode from the COMP pin to ground
with a series 1 kΩ resistor connected between the VCTRL and
COMP pins. Consult the ADP1972 data sheet for additional
applications information.
Rev. 0 | Page 24 of 32

AD8451
Step 4: Determine the Control Voltage for the CC Loop
and the Shunt Resistor
The relationship between the control voltage for the CC loop
(the voltage at the ISET pin), the target battery current, and the
IA gain is as follows:
CC Battery Target Current =
V
VISET
= ISET
G IA × RS 26 × RS
The voltage across the shunt resistor is as follows:
Step 5: Choose the Control Voltage Sources
The input control voltages (the voltages at the ISET and VSET
pins) can be generated by an analog voltage source such as a
voltage reference or by a DAC. In both cases, select a device that
provides a stable, low noise output voltage. If a DAC is preferred,
Analog Devices offers a wide range of precision converters. For
example, the AD5668 16-bit DAC provides up to eight 0 V to
4 V sources when connected to an external 2 V reference.
To maximize accuracy, the control voltage sources must be
referenced to the same potential as the outputs of the IA and
DA. For example, if the IA and DA reference pins are connected
to AGND, connect the reference pins of the control voltage
sources to AGND.
V
V
Shunt Resistor Voltage = ISET = ISET
G IA
26
For target current of 1 A, choosing a 20 mΩ shunt resistor
results in a control voltage of 4 V.
When selecting a shunt resistor, consider the resistor style and
construction. For low power dissipation applications, many
temperature stable SMD styles can be soldered to a heat sink
pad on a printed circuit board (PCB). For optimum accuracy,
choose a shunt resistor that provides force and sense terminals.
In these resistors, the battery current flows through the force
terminals and the voltage drop in the resistor is read at the sense
terminals.
Step 6: Select the Compensation Devices
Feedback controlled switching power converters require
frequency compensation to guarantee loop stability. There are
many references available about how to design the compensation
for such power converters. The AD8451 provides active loop
filter error amplifiers for the CC and CV control loops that
can implement proportional integrator (PI), PD, and PID
compensators using external passive components.

EVALUATION BOARD
INTRODUCTION
FEATURES AND TESTS
The AD8451-EVALZ evaluation board is a convenient
standalone platform for evaluating the major elements of the
AD8451, either as a standalone component or connected to a
battery test/formation system.
SMA connectors provide access for input voltages to the
sensitive instrumentation (IA) and difference (DA) amplifiers.
ISVP and ISVN connectors are the IA inputs, and BVP and
BVN are the DA inputs. These inputs accept the dc voltages
from battery current and voltage measurement sources, or from
a precision dc voltage source. SMA connectors ISET and VSET
are available for precision dc control voltages for CC or CV
battery charging voltages. SMA ISREFLO is available for
applying a nonzero reference voltage to the IA. SMA VCTRL
connects to the input of a dc-to-dc power converter as seen in
Figure 52. Convenient test loops are provided connecting scope
probes or instruments for the remainder of the input/output.
In the latter configuration, the AD8451-EVALZ operates just as
it would within a system including the PWM and dc-to-dc
power converter. Simply connect the current and voltage sense
voltages from the system directly to the board terminus. This
feature is used when setting or evaluating loop compensation
using a field of passive compensation components. Figure 51 is
a photograph of the AD8451-EVALZ.

Operation
The MODE switch selects CHG (logic high) or DISCH (logic low).
The AD8451 operates normally when the RUN_TEST1 switch is in the RUN
position. When in the TEST position, 2.5 V is applied to the ISET and VSET inputs.
The voltage at the VCTRL output (TPVCTRL) for all positions is 0 V when
RUN_TEST1 is in RUN position and 2.5 V when RUN_TEST1 in TEST position.
When in the 2.5V position, the ISREF_HI switch connects Pin 74 (ISREFH, an
internal 100 kΩ resistor) to Pin 73 (VREF, the 2.5 V reference). When the
ISREF_LO switch is in the NORM position, the output at Pin 71 (ISMEA)
shifts positive by 20 mV.
When in the NORM position and the ISREF_HI switch is in the EXT position,
there is no offset applied to the ISMEA output. When in the EXT position,
the ISREFLO SMA is selected.
EVALUATING THE AD8451
Test the Instrumentation Amplifier
Connect the TPISVN jumper to ground, and then apply
100 mV dc to TPISVP. Measure 2.6 V at the TPISMEA output.
Subtract any offset voltages from the output reading before
calculating the gain.
20 mV Offset at IMEAS Output
Connect a jumper from TPISVP to TPISVN to ground by using
another jumper and any one of the convenient black test loops.
Measure 0 V ± 2.86 mV at the TPISMEA output (that is, the IA
residual offset voltage multiplied by gain). Move the ISREFLO
switch to the EXT position, and the ISREFHI switch to the
20 mV (EXT) position. The output will then increase by 20 mV.
Test the Difference Amplifier
Insert a shorting jumper at Header GND_BVN. With 1 V dc
applied to TPBVP, measure 0.8 V at TPBVMEA. For the most
accurate gain measurement, subtract the offset voltage from the
output voltage before calculating gain.
5 mV Offset at BVMEAS Output
Insert jumpers in the GND_BVP and GND_BVN headers.
Measure 0 V ± 0.4mV at the TPBVMEA output (that is, the DA
residual offset voltage multiplied by gain). Connect a jumper
between TPBREFH and TP2.5V. The output will then increase
by 5 mV.

the pairs of TP thru holes spanning the SM footprints. The TP
holes accept the popular 0.025” test pins if leaded devices are
preferred for multiple loop tests.
As shipped, CC and CV loop amplifier filters are configured as
voltage followers by replacing feedback capacitors to the inverting
inputs with resistors, and removing the dc coupling resistors from
the IA and DA outputs. The feedback loops must be reconfigured
to close the loops to operate as precision feedback loops.
Loop compensation requires knowledge of the output dc-to-dc
power converter. It is assumed that the AD8451 is most often
used with a switching converter. The scope and breadth of this
switching converter design architecture is quite broad, and a
thorough discussion of all the types and variants of this type of
converter is well beyond the scope of this data.
CC and CV Integrator Tests
When the circuit and component details of the power converter
are known, proceed with a calculation of the loop parameters
and components, and the values necessary to achieve loop
compensation.
Switches RUN_TEST1 and RUN_TEST2 set up the required
circuit conditions to test the integrators. RUN_TEST1 disconnects
the external inputs ISET and VSET and applies 2.5 V dc from
the reference, simultaneously, to both of the CC and CV.
Because the loop is of the type proportional/integrating (PI), a
direct dc path is required from the IA and DA amplifiers to the
error inputs of the CC and CV loop amplifiers. Install these
resistors at the R1, R6, R7, R11, and R12 locations.
RUN_TEST2 has three positions: RUN, TEST_CC, and
TEST_CV.
Likewise, the CC and CV amplifiers must be reconfigured from
voltage followers to integrators by replacing the 0 Ω capacitors
at C6, C10, C11, C19, and C24 with appropriate capacitors.
Loop Compensation
The AD8451-EVALZ is suitable for use as a test platform for
system loop compensation experiments. However, before
installing the platform in a system, component changes are necessary.
