Evaluation Board

User’s Manual

The ISL9241 is a configurable buck-boost Narrow Output Voltage DC (NVDC) and Hybrid Power Buck-Boost

(HPBB) combo charger that uses the advanced Renesas R3™ Technology to provide high light-load efficiency,

fast transient response, and seamless DCM/CCM transitions for a variety of mobile and industrial applications.

In Charge mode, the ISL9241 takes input power from a wide range (4V to 20V) of DC power sources (such as

conventional AC/DC charger adapters, USB PD ports, travel adapters) and safely charges battery packs with up

to four cells in a series configuration.

The ISL9241 supports On-the-Go (OTG) functionality for 2-cell and 4-cell battery applications. When OTG

function is enabled, the ISL9241 operates in Reverse Buck mode to provide 5V at the USB port.

Serial communication through SMBus/I2C allows programming of many critical parameters to deliver a

customized solution. These programming parameters include, but are not limited to, adapter current limit, charger

current limit, system voltage setting, and trickle charging current limit.

The ISL9241EVAL1Z evaluation board is designed to demonstrate the performance of the ISL9241. From the

PROG pin to GND, the resistor can be used to program the default value numbers of the battery in series, the

switching frequency, and the adapter current limit charging function. The default value numbers can also be set by

SMBus.

Recommended Equipment

• 0V to 25V power supply with at least 6A source current capability

• Electronic load capable of sinking current up to 6A

• Battery emulator capable of sinking and sourcing current up to 6A

• Digital Multimeters (DMMs)

• 100MHz quad-trace oscilloscope

Note: You can use a power supply (that can source but cannot sink current) in parallel with an e-load Constant

Current (CC) mode to emulate the battery. For example, when charging, set the charging current command lower

than the CC mode e-load. If the e-load CC mode current is set at 3A, the charge current command is 2A and the

e-load takes 2A from the charger and another 1A from the power supply in parallel with it. When discharging, the

power supply acts just like the battery to discharge current. You can also use the e-load Constant Voltage (CV)

mode to emulate the battery to take the charging current from the charger and set the e-load CV voltage below

the MaxSysV register setting. However, this e-load CV mode cannot source current like a battery.

3. Functional Description

The ISL9241EVAL1Z evaluation board provides all circuits required to evaluate the features of the ISL9241. A

majority of the features of the ISL9241 are available on the ISL9241EVAL1Z, such as adjustable output voltage,

On-the-Go (OTG) mode, Trickle Charging mode for a depleted battery, and system power monitor at Buck, Boost,

and Buck-Boost modes. The charger can be controlled through firmware to operate in Hybrid Power Buck-Boost

or Bypass mode. See AN1994, ISL9241 Operation Modes for detailed information about the operation modes.

3.1 Quick Start Guide

The number of battery cell and adapter current limit default values can be configured with a standard 1% 0603

resistor (R23) from the PROG pin to GND. The Prog Pin Programming Options table in the ISL9241 datasheet

shows the programming options. After the default number of cells in series is set, the default values for

MaxSystemVoltage and MinSystemVoltage are set accordingly. These values can also be changed through the

SMBus control registers, which are implemented with the Renesas GUI shown in Figure 8 on page 10.

The three LEDs indicate the ACOK, PROCHOT, and OTGPG/CMOUT status, respectively. For more details about

the functions of these three pins, see the ISL9241 datasheet.

Complete the following steps to evaluate the ISL9241 key functions, including system voltage regulation, input

current limit regulation, Charging mode, trickle Charging mode, and OTG mode. Figure 7 on page 9 shows the top

view of the ISL9241EVAL1Z and highlights the key testing points and connection terminals. For more information

about the ISL9241, including other operation modes, see the ISL9241 datasheet and AN1994.

3.2 Regulating System Voltage

1. Set the power supply to 5V. With the output disabled, connect the (+) end to J1 and the (-) end to J2.

2. Ensure jumpers JP3, JP4, and JP6 are shorted. SW1 and SW2 should switch to the low position.

3. Turn on the power supply and measure VSYS using the DMM across (+) and (-) TP5. VSYS should read 8.38V.

The current meter on the supply should read <100mA. Increase VIN from 5V to 15V slowly. Monitor PH1 and

PH2 to observe seamless switching from Boost mode to Buck-Boost mode and finally into Buck mode.

3.3 Regulating Input Current Limit

1. Keep VIN as a constant value between 3.8V and 24V. Set the battery emulator voltage to 7.8V and connect the

battery emulator output to battery leads J5 and J6.

2. Turn on the battery emulator; there is no charge and discharge current for the battery, which is consistent with

BGATE FET being off.

3. Add an electrical load on VSYS and GND terminals J3 and J4. Turn on the load and increase the electrical load

slowly; the input current increases correspondingly and VSYS keeps stable at 8.38V. The output voltage

(VSYS) starts dropping as the input current reaches the 0.476A input current limit. For the input current limit

details, see the ISL9241 datasheet. If the VSYS voltage is 150mV lower than the battery voltage, the BGATE

FET turns on at a low voltage level so that the battery supplies the current to the load.

3.4 Configuring the ISL9142EVAL1Z for Charging Mode

1. Set the power supply to a constant value between 3.8V and 24V, then complete Steps 1 and 2 in “Regulating

System Voltage” on page 9. Make sure the input current does not exceed the limit.

2. Set the battery emulator voltage to 7.8V and connect the battery emulator output to battery leads J5 and J6.

3. Connect the USB cable at the USB port for the SMBus. LED1, 2, and 3 all turn on.

4. Turn on the power supply; LED3 goes out. Turn on the battery emulator and open the Renesas ISL9241 GUI

(Figure 8).

Note: A green check mark in the USB Interface status indicates the GUI is ready to communicate with the

ISL9241EVAL1Z. If the USB Interface shows a red X, the GUI is not ready to communicate with the

ISL9241EVAL1Z. Click the Reset USB button until a green check mark appears in the USB Interface. If the

green check mark does not appear, check the USB connection. See “Troubleshooting the GUI” on page 7 for

troubleshooting information.

5. Select 2 Cell in the No of Battery Cell section and click the Write All button. All controller register values are

set to the default values correspondingly. The system voltage is 8.4V, which is the value of MaxSysVoltage in

the GUI. There is no charge and discharge current for the battery. Set the minimum system voltage

(MinSysVoltage) to a non zero value. Change the charge current limit (ChargeCurrentLimit) from 0A to 2A

and click Write. The battery is now in 2A current charge operation. The charge current value can be monitored

in the GUI by clicking Read in the ChargeCurrentLimit column. Monitor the BGATE signal status to confirm

the battery is in Charging mode.

6. To turn on charging (trickle and fast/normal), set the MinSysVoltage register and the ChargeCurrentLimit
