3 Testing Procedures
3.1 Equipment
This section includes a list of supplies recommended to perform tests on this EVM.
1. Two Power Supplies: Keithley 2400 Power Supply or equivalent
a. Power Supply #1 (PS #1) will be used as input voltage
b. Power Supply #2 (PS #2) will be used as battery voltage
2. Four Channel Oscilloscope: To monitor voltages at VIN, VBAT, and VSYS at least
a. Channel 1 (SC #1) will be used to probe VIN
b. Channel 2 (SC #2) will be used to probe VBAT
c. Channel 3 (SC #3) will be used to probe VSYS
3.2 Charge Mode
Connect the equipment as follows:
• Power Supply PS #1: VIN of the BQ25185EVM at 5 V
• Power Supply PS #2: VBAT of the BQ25185EVM at 3.7 V
• Scope Channel SC#1: VIN at TP4
• Scope Channel SC#2: VBAT at TP7
• Scope Channel SC#3: VSYS at TP5
Procedure:
1. Connect 13 kOhm resistor using S1 switch box. Verify that the resistance from VSET/ILIM pin to GND is
13kOhm
a. This sets the battery regulation voltage to 4.2 V and the input current limit to 1100 mA
2. Measure the resistance from ISET to GND.
a. The resulting fast charge current will follow the equation:
3. Power on PS #1
a. Verify that the voltage at VSYS is about 4.5 V
4. Power on PS #2
a. Verify that current going into PS#2 is the configured charge current
b. Another method is to use the voltage at the ISET pin. The voltage at the ISET pin
To change the charge current:
1. Use the equation Ichg = 300/RIset (AΩ/Ω)
2. Measure the Resistance on the Iset pin
3. Adjust the R14 potentiometer to get the right RIset for your desired ICHG

4. Move the jumper on JP1 to the ADJ position
Note
The ISET resistance should only be measured when the device is powered off but the ISET
potentiometer can be adjusted during operation.
To adjust the charge voltage (VSET) and input current limit (ILim):
1. Refer to the VSET and IILIM table in the datasheet to see how the resistance on the IILIM pin affects the
VBATREG and ILim
2. Adjust R15-R18 on S1 to set the correct resistance for your desired VSET and ILim
3. Turn off and on PS#1
Note
The device will change the VSET/ILIM setting each time a new charge cycle is started (when VIN is
plugged in and when /CE is pulled low).
3.3 Factory Mode Entry and Exit
To enter the Factory Mode state, connect the equipment as follows:
• Power Supply PS#1: VIN for the BQ25185EVM at 5V
• Power Supply PS #2: VBAT of the BQ25185EVM at 3.7 V
• Scope Channel SC #1: VIN at TP4
• Scope Channel SC #2: VBAT at TP7
• Scope Channel SC #3: VSYS at TP5
• Scope Channel SC #4: TS/MR at TP11
Procedure
1. Power on PS#2. VSYS should rise to about 3.7 V
2. Power on PS#1. VSYS should rise to 4.5V
3. Press SW1 (the pushbutton on the EVM) for at least 10 seconds
4. Release SW1
5. Disconnect or power off PS#1 from the BQ25185EVM.
6. Observe VSYS pulldown to 0 V
7. After confirming 0 V on VSYS, you may exit Factory mode by inserting VIN ( > VUVLO)
