Required Equipment

Power Supplies
- Power supply #1 (PS#1)
  - Power supply capable of supplying 5V at 1A is required
  - While this part can handle larger voltage and current, it is not necessary for this procedure
- Load #1 (4-Quadrant Supply, Constant Voltage < 4.5V)
  - A 0–20V/0–5A, > 30W system, DC electronic load and setting as constant voltage load mode or Kepco load: BOP 20–5M, DC 0 to ±20V, 0 to ±5A (or higher)
- Load #2 – Use with Boost Mode
  - PMID to GND load, 10Ω, 5W or greater

Meters
- Six Fluke 75 multimeters (equivalent or better) or four equivalent voltage meters and two equivalent current meters
- The current meters must be capable of measuring 5A+ current
Computer
- A computer with at least one USB port and a USB cable
- The bq2589xEVM evaluation software must be installed properly
