CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
The test system shown in Figure 1 is an accurate, cost effective,
8-channel battery testing system for single-cell, lithium ion (Li-ion)
batteries with open circuit voltage (OCV) between 3.5 V and 4.4 V.
The demand for Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries is high for use in
both low power and high power applications, such as laptop
computers, mobile phones, portable wireless terminals, as well
as hybrid electric vehicles/all-electric vehicles (HEV/EV). Li-ion
batteries therefore require accurate and reliable test systems.
The battery test system in Figure 1 is composed of multiple
input/output boards (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_IO) for handling
the charging and discharging process, an MCU board (EVAL-
CN0352-EB1Z_MCU) for battery data acquisition, testing,
monitoring, and temperature management, and a backplane
base board (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_BAS) that provides the
signal interconnections between the MCU board and the
multiple input/output boards.
The circuit uses the ADP5065 fast charging battery manager for
flexible, efficient, high stability charging control with low cost,
small printed circuit board (PCB) area, and ease of use
compared to traditional discrete solutions.
Highly integrated precision data acquisition and processing is
provided by the ADuCM360 precision analog microcontroller.
The ADuCM360 acquires the battery voltage, current, and
temperature. A high precision analog-to-digital converter
(ADC), digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and an on-chip
microcontroller allows completely self-contained control of the
charging and discharging process.
The analog front end is fully differential with high CMRR and
excellent immunity to both common-mode and ground noise
caused by large currents generated during the charge and
discharge cycles.
The number of channels can easily be expanded to further
reduce testing time and cost per battery.

The ADP5065 integrates a number of significant features to

battery fault detection, and fault recovery. Control Circuit

The charging parameters of ADP5065, such as fast charging
current, charging termination current, and charging termination
voltage, are all programmable through an I2C interface. This
programmability allows the ADP5065 to operate with many
different types of Li-ion batteries as well as to operate as a
complete battery charging and test controller.
Battery Discharging Control and Electronic Load (E-Load)
Circuit
The electronic load (E-load) circuit within the dashed rectangular
block in Figure 2 provides a programmable constant-current
load that uses the AD8601 precision CMOS op amp, four 1 W,
1% power resistors, and two power SIR464 MOSFETs.
The E-load current is accurately controlled by the control voltage
on the noninverting input of AD8601. The control voltage
(V_DAC from MCU board) can range from 0 V to 1 V, which
produces a load current of 0 A to 2 A. The typical discharging
termination voltage for Li-ion battery is 3.0 V. The minimum
allowable output voltage required by this E-load is
2A×1Ω=2V
The power MOSFETs and the power resistors consume all the
energy from the battery during discharging process. The cooling
system implemented in this module is only for demonstration
purposes, and additional attention is required to guarantee
adequate cooling performance when the discharging current is
higher than 750 mA.
Because the on-resistance of MOSFETs have a positive
temperature coefficient, multiple devices of the same type can
be used in parallel and controlled by a single loop shown as the
E-circuit in Figure 2. This is a common way to extend the
power handling ability of power MOSFET circuits.
Rev. A | Page 3 of 10
Only one input/output board has its ADG715 switch closed
at any given time. The 0.1 μF capacitor is charged by the DAC
through a 1 kΩ resistor during the sampling interval and
discharged through the 10 MΩ resistor the 1 kΩ to ground
during the holding interval. The bandwidths for charging and
discharging are approximately 1.6 kHz and 0.16 Hz, respectively.
The 10 MΩ resistor is required to discharge the voltage on the
0.1 μF capacitor and pull the discharging voltage close to ground
if there is no MCU board connected.
Assuming an N-channel system and a sampling and holding time
of TS and TH, respectively, the following condition must be met:
TH = TS (N − 1).
Therefore more channels require a longer holding time, and the
leakage current produces a larger droop voltage. For the CN-0352
system, N = 8, TS = 1 ms, and TH = 7 ms, and the droop voltage
is negligible.
Thermal Management
Most Li-ion batteries cannot be charged at temperatures lower
than 0°C or above 60°C. Fast charging and discharging can only
be performed from 10°C to 45°C.
In addition to safety issues, the performance of the Li-ion cell
can change dramatically with temperature. Therefore, the
temperature of the battery needs to be measured with proper
accuracy to ensure the repeatability of the test results and also
to guarantee safety.
Battery temperature is monitored using 10 kΩ thermistors
connected to the temperature connector blocks with a 2-wire
connection. The battery under test is usually located near the
board, therefore the thermistor lead resistance is negligible.
There is another 10 kΩ thermistor on the input/output board
connected to the THR pin of ADP5065 as shown in Figure 2.
CN-0352 Circuit Note
This thermistor is for monitoring the temperature near the resistance to carry the charging and discharging current. The

Circuit Note
The charging termination voltage is generated by the ADP5065
and is adjustable from 3.5 V to 4.42 V for compatibility with
different types of Li-ion batteries. Discharge termination voltage
is usually set to 3.0 V. In special circumstances, the battery
maybe deeply discharged to a voltage much lower than 3.0 V.
The discharge termination voltage can be set from 0 V to 5 V,
and that range covers almost conditions for Li-ion battery cells.
The sensed battery voltage is processed by the AD8275 (G = 0.2
difference amplifier) and the AD8276 (unity-gain difference
amplifier). The two amplifiers are connected in a balanced circuit
to provide a differential output with an overall gain of 0.2 and
an output common-mode voltage of 1.8 V.
The two 1 kΩ resistors placed in series with the AD8275 inputs
shown in Figure 4 act as current limiting protection resistors.
The 200 Ω resistors compensate for the reduction in gain due to
the 1 kΩ series resistors and restore the gain of the circuit to 0.2.
With the equations set as shown,
VOUT   VOUT   0 .2  (VSENSE   V SENSE  )

VOUT   VOUT   2  V AVDD _ REG
The final voltage of VOUT+ and VOUT− is
VOUT   V AVDD _ REG  0 . 1  (V SENSE   V SENSE  )

VOUT   V AVDD _ REG  0 . 1  (V SENSE   V SENSE  )
For a 0 V to 5 V battery voltage range, VOUT+ and VOUT− vary from
1.8 V to 2.3V and 2.3 V to 1.8 V, respectively. The differential
output voltage (VOUT+ − VOUT−) is 0 V to 1 V. These ranges are
compatible with the common-mode and differential input
voltage requirements of ADuCM360.
The configuration of ADuCM360 for voltage acquisition is as
follows: differential input on AIN3 and AIN2, unipolar, unity-
gain with buffer disabled, and internal reference.
CN-0352
Current Conditioning Circuit
The battery current is sensed on the input/output boards by a
0.02 Ω resistor placed in series with the high side of the battery.
Assuming that the maximum current during testing is 2 A, the
maximum differential voltage across the resistor is ±40 mV with
the common-mode voltage equal to the battery voltage that can
be higher than 4.2 V.
The AD8237 is a micropower, zero drift, rail-to-rail
instrumentation amplifier. A simplified block diagram is shown
in Figure 5. The AD8237 utilizes the indirect current feedback
architecture, and achieves true rail-to-rail capability. The
common-mode input voltage can be equal to or slightly beyond
the power supply rails.
The gain of the AD8237 circuit is set to 10.09 by the ratio of
RF1 to RG1 (G = 1 + RF1/RG1). The RF2 and RG2 resistors
cancel the error from the input bias current.
The ±40 mV current sensed signal is converted to ±400 mV
with a reference voltage of AVDD_REG = 1.8 V.
The amplified and level-shifted current sense signal drives the
AIN5 and AIN4 differential inputs of the ADuCM360 which is
configured for a bipolar input, gain = 2, buffer enabled, and
internal reference enabled. The differential voltage at the input
of the ADuCM360 internal ADC is ±800 mV. The absolute
voltage on the input pins are both 1.0 V to 2.6 V.
The current and voltage information is sampled simultaneously
using the two internal ADCs in ADuCM360.
Differential and common-mode RFI and noise filters are placed
in front of the AD8275, AD8237, and ADuCM360 accordingly.

Battery Temperature Conditioning Circuit
The battery temperature is measured with a 10 kΩ thermistor
placed near or inside the battery casing. The value of the
thermistor resistor is determined by measuring the voltage
across the thermistor when driven with a known current.
Circuit Note
Therefore, the maximum allowable exciting for this circuit is
33.3 μA. The exciting current is set to 10 μA so that the voltage
across the 10 kΩ resistor is less than 0.5 V. The internal
ADuCM360 PGA is set for a gain of 2, and the internal buffer of
ADuCM360 is enabled.

As shown in Figure 6, the integrated current source in the
ADuCM360 (I_EXT) drives the 10 kΩ thermistor through a
series network that includes a 2.2 kΩ precision current sense
resistor, a Schottky diode for reverse voltage protection, two
1 kΩ current limit resistors, and a 10 kΩ bias voltage generator
resistor.
The maximum voltage drop through the series connected
circuit is
The bias voltage on the temperature input is 10 μA × 10 kΩ =
0.1 V in order to meet the common-mode input voltage
requirement of the ADuCM360 when the internal buffer is
enabled.
The excitation current reference channel and thermistor voltage
channels are sampled simultaneously to cancel any common-
mode error sources, such as drift in the exciting current source
or the power supply.

VMAX = IEXT × (1 kΩ + 2.2 kΩ + 1 kΩ + 50 kΩ +10 kΩ) + VF
= IEXT × 64.2 kΩ + 0.31 V
The total voltage drop must be less than (AVDD − 0.85 V). The
exciting current is limited by
IEXT << (AVDD − 0.85 V − 0.31 V)/64.2 kΩ
The configuration for temperature acquisition for the reference
channel is: differential input, unipolar, gain = 32, buffer
enabled, and internal reference.
The configuration for thermistor channel is: differential input,
unipolar, gain = 2, buffer enabled. and internal reference.

The base board provides the interconnections between the

COMMON VARIATIONS
The ADP5061 and ADP5062 are both linear battery chargers RESET FAN2 FAN1 COM PWR

with management functions for charging current up to 2 A. The

ADP5062 is available in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package. EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z

The ADG714 is an octal, single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switch

with a QSPI™-compatible interface. The SPI clock of ADG714 BAT1 BAT2 BAT3 BAT4 BAT5 BAT6 BAT7 BAT8

can be much higher than the 400 kHz upper limit of the I2C bus.
The channel switching time is therefore much shorter than that Figure 12. Test Setup Functional Diagram
of the ADG715, and the ADG714 is a better choice for systems
with 16 or 32 battery channels.

Plug the MCU board (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_MCU) and the VFAN

input/output boards (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_I/O) into the PGND

connector on the base board (EVAL-CN0352-EB1Z_BAS), as

PGND FAN SPEED FEEDBACK

shown in Figure 12. With the 5 V power supply off, connect the
5 V dc power supply to the terminal block marked PWR. The
fans for cooling the heat sink on the input/output board are
necessary but not included into the packaging box.
The header marked FAN1, FAN2, and FPWR are for connecting
to the fans. The pin definitions are shown in Figure 13.
Carefully verify the pin connections of the fans. Typical power
for a PWM controlled fan is 12 V. The acceptable range of
VFAN is 0 V to 15 V. Connect the VFAN to the external dc fan
power supply.

Plug the USB port of USB to RS485 adapter to the USB port on
the PC and connect the RS485 side to the terminal block of the
MCU board marked COM.
Turn on the 5 V dc power supply and the fan power supply,
then connect the Li-ion battery to the input/output board.
The CN-0352 Software User Guide provides information and
details regarding the test setup and how to use the evaluation
software for gathering the test data and analyzing the result.
