Description
The ISL9204EVAL1 is an evaluation tool for the ISL9204
single-cell Li-ion battery charger. The evaluation tool
provides a complete evaluation platform addressing all
datasheet specifications and functionalities. The jumpers on
the board facilitate the programming of the charge current,
different charging conditions, and can be used to make other
necessary connections, such as current measurement.
The ISL9204 is a fully integrated single-cell Li-ion battery
charger that accepts input voltages ranging from 4.5V up to
28V. Since the cradle input is rated for 28V maximum input
voltage, the components associated with the input circuit on
the evaluation board are good for a 28V supply.
The components assembled in the center square constitute
a complete charger, indicating the space saving advantage
of the typical ISL9204 installation in space-limited
applications.
Features
• A Complete Evaluation Platform for the ISL9204 Charger
• The Center Square Suggesting the Space Saving
Advantage of the Typical Components Assembly
• Accepts Input Voltage up to 28V
• Flexible Power Connectors Each with a Hook and a
Solder Pad Providing Variety to Users
• Convenient Jumpers for Programming the Charge
Current, Charge Mode, and for Current Measurement
• 3.5 x 2.5 Square Inches Board Size Handy for Evaluation
• Six Thermal Vias in the Thermal Pad Similar to
Customers’ Thermally Enhanced Environment
• On-Board LEDs for Input PPR and CHG State Indication
What is Needed
The following instruments will be needed to perform testing:
• Power Supplies:
1) PS1: DC 30V/5A
2) PS2: DC 20V/5A
• DC Electronic Load: 20V/5A

Step 9:
Verify that jumper shunts JP5 and JP7 are not
inserted
Turn on Power Supplies and DC electronic load
The green LED should be on, indicating normal
charging operation
The current meter I2 in series with PS2 should
read about 70mA as the charging current
Insert a jumper shunt on JP5 and the current
meter I2 should read about 140mA
Insert a jumper shunt on both JP5 and JP7 and
the current meter I2 should read about 210mA

Detailed Description
The ISL9204EVAL1 is a complete evaluation platform
addressing all datasheet specifications and functionalities.
The jumpers on the board facilitate the programming of the
charge current, different charging conditions, and can be
used to make other necessary connections, such as current
measurement.
JP4 -
Parallels an additional 274k resistor to the IMIN pin,
such that the End-of-Charge Current will be increased to
30mA (R
IMIN
is 274k and the EOC current is 15mA without
the shunt).
JP5 -
Parallels an additional 59k resistor to the IREF pin,
such that the Cradle charge current will be increased by
70mA (R
IREF
is 59k and the charge current is 70mA if the
shunts on both JP5 and JP7 are removed).
JP6 -
A shunt installed on JP6 connects the BAT pin to the
output connector J2 if output current measurement is not
needed. The shunt can be replaced by a current meter if
output current measurement is needed.
JP7 -
Parallels an additional 59k resistor to the IREF pin,
such that the Cradle charge current will be increased by
another 70mA.

Jumpers
JP1 -
Connects the EN pin to a pull-up voltage or GND. The
pull-up voltage is either the BAT voltage (when a shunt is
installed on JP3) an external 3.3V power source (when the
shunt on JP3 is removed and a +3.3V supply is connected to
the upper pin of JP3). If there is no shunt installed on JP1,
the EN pin is internally pulled down to logic LOW, which
enables the charger. If a shunt is installed across the two
jumper pins labeled as “Enable”, the EN pin is driven to logic
LOW, the charger is enabled, same as floating. If the shunt
is installed across the two jumper pins labeled as “Disable”
and the pull-up voltage is above 2V, the EN pin is driven to
logic HIGH, which disables the charger.
JP2 -
A shunt installed on JP2 connects the input source
from connector J1 to the circuit if input current measurement
is not needed. The shunt can be replaced by a current meter
if input current measurement is needed.
JP3 -
Selects the power source for logic pull-up and the
LEDs supply. If a shunt is installed, the BAT voltage is
selected as the power source. If the shunt is removed, an
external power supply of +3.3V can be connected from the
upper pin to GND to provide the pull-up and LEDs supply.
This purpose is to exclude the extra current through the
charger when characterizing small currents such as EOC
and quiescent currents.
