The PS2070 evaluation board is a complete charger
evaluation circuit subsystem based on the Microchip
PS200 charge controller. The board is designed to
operate with a rechargeable battery pack consisting of
lithium based, nickel based or lead acid cells. The
board includes the Microchip PS200 battery monitor IC
in a socket, a 100 mOhm sense resistor and power
components to enable charging currents to a maximum
of 2.0A.
2.0 GENERAL SETUP
The Microchip PS2070 evaluation board plugs directly
into a PowerInfo 2 interface board or PowerCal 2
calibration board. These development tools, connected
to a PC running PowerTool? 200 (PS020) development
software, form a complete PS200 battery charger
evaluation environment. The information that follows
will guide you through the setup of the various features
available. Please refer to the PowerInfo 2 or
PowerCal 2 data sheet for information on setting up
those products.
