3 Power up Procedure
1.
2.
3.
Attach power supply to VBUS/VCC banana jacks.
BD99954 will detect which node is being used to power up IC, but if both
VBUS and VCC (Figure 1) are connected to a source, VBUS will have priority to power up IC unless programmed otherwise.
If battery charging is in order, attach cell(s) to the VBATT (Figure 1) banana jacks.
Set up power supply voltage to between 3.8V to 25V. Note that on powering up that the default input current limit is set to
512mA by a resistor divider on the board (R5 and R6) (Refer to Schematic pg.12). The ILIM can be modified by changing the
IBUS_LIM_SET(Reg 8h) or ICC_LIM_SET(Reg 7h) for VBUS or VCC inputs respectively, through the software.
4.
5.
Turn on power supply. Voltage on VSYS (Figure 1) should be around 8.9V. This is the default value that is programmed into
the chip upon power up.
If user would like to program the registers of the BD99954, connect micro-USB (Figure 1) to the board (J48) to the USB port
of a computer, then utilize the BD99954 I2C Control Software. Refer to BD99954 I2C Control Software User Manual for more
information.
