- Measure the reference voltage by probing the testpoint near the center of the board labelled VREF. The value should be about 2.5 V relative to ISO GND.
- Without the shunt resistor connected, connect a power supply between the positive and negative terminals. Apply a range of voltages across the positive and negative terminals. Measure the voltage between VREF and IN+. The voltage should be 1 V for each 10 mV across the positive and negative terminals. For example, -2 V with -20 mV, 0 V with 0 V, and 2 V with 20 mV.
isoSPI Enable
Option 1
- Connect the current sense board to a validated BMS carrier board.
- Connect an oscilloscope probe between ISO GND, and the IBIAS pin of the LTC6820 (pin 16) of the current sense board.
- Power the BMS carrier board with 12 V.
- Toggle the CS pin of the current sense SPI.
- If 2 V is measured on the oscilloscope, then the LTC6820 is enabled.
Option 2
- Connect two GPIO pins of a microcontroller to the IP and IN testpoints or transformer pins.
- Connect an oscilloscope probe between ISO GND, and the IBIAS pin of the LTC6820 (pin 16).
- Power the current sense board by supplying 12 V between 12 V and GND.
- Set IN high, IP high, IN low, and then IP low.
- If 2 V is measured on the oscilloscope, then the LTC6820 is enabled.
ADC
Option 1
- Connect the current sense board to a validated BMS carrier board.
- Power the BMS carrier board with 12 V.
- Send the opcodes to read from the CONFIG0 registers (0010 0000, 0000 0001).
- If 1 0 ID1 ID0 0 1 0 1 is returned, then the ADC is operating correctly, where ID1, and ID0 are factory programmed identification bits.
Option 2
- Remove the LTC6820 from the current sense board.
- Connect a SPI device to the SPI testpoints on the left side of the board.
- Power the board by supplying 3.3 V between 5V and ISO GND.
- Send the opcodes to read from the CONFIG0 registers (0010 0000, 0000 0001).
- If 1 0 ID1 ID0 0 1 0 1 is returned, then the ADC is operating correctly, where ID1, and ID0 are factory programmed identification bits.
