DEMO MANUAL DC1621A

LTM8062:
32V, 2A Module Power
Tracking Battery Charger
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1621A features the LTM8062, a
32V, 2A Module power tracking battery charger. The
demonstration circuit is designed to operate from a 9.75V
to 32V input source, and to charge a 2-cell battery pack
to a oat voltage of 7.2V. The oat voltage can easily be
changed to a higher or lower voltage by adjusting the
values of R2 and R3. R7 and R9 keep the converter off
until the input has reached 8.5V, typically. JP2 allows for

easy selection of C/10 or timer charge termination. The

LTM8062 data sheet must be read in conjunction with this
quick start guide for working on or modifying the demo
circuit 1621A.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1621A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTM8062.
Using short twisted pairs of leads for any power connection,
with all loads and power supplies off, refer to Figure 1 for
the proper measurement and equipment setup.
Follow the procedure below:
1. Jumper and Power Supply Setting:
JP1 = ON

PS1 = OFF

JP2 = C/10

PS2 = OFF

2. Turn on PS2 and slowly increase the voltage to 4.5V

while monitoring the current into the BAT pin. If the
current is less than 5mA, turn on PS1. Increase the
voltage on PS1 to 8V while monitoring the input current. If the current is less than 5mA, increase PS1 to
12V.
3. Verify that the battery charging current, IBAT, is between
250mA and 350mA. The CHRG LED should be on and
the FAULT LED should be off.
4. Increase PS2 until VBAT is 6.3V. Verify the input current,
IIN, is between 1A and 1.5A, the battery current, IBAT ,
is between 1.775A and 2.225A and that the CHRG LED
is on.

5. Increase PS2 until VBAT is 7.4V. Verify the battery

charging current, IBAT , is less than 5mA and that the
CHRG LED is off.
6. Decrease PS2 until VBAT is 6.8V. Verify the battery
current, IBAT , is between 1.775A and 2.225A and that
the CHRG LED is on.
7. Set JP1 to off. Verify the charging current, IBAT , is less
than 5mA and that the FAULT LED and the CHRG LED
are off.
8. Set JP1 to on. Connect a jumper from the NTC pin to
ground. Verify the charging current, IBAT , is less than
5mA and that the FAULT LED and the CHRG LED are
on.
9. Remove the jumper from NTC to ground. Verify the
charging current, IBAT , is between 1.775A and 2.225A
and that the FAULT LED is off and the CHRG LED is
on.
10. At this point, vary PS1 between the 9.75V to 32V range
if desired, and verify the charging current is between
1.775A and 2.225A and that the CHRG LED is on.
11. This concludes the test. Turn off PS1 and PS2.
