EVAL-08 Troubleshooting
1. Using a voltmeter, put the ground lead on J5 pin 4 and probe J7 (left pin). Voltage should be 1.0V. This test verifies operation of the photovoltaic cell.g p p
2. Probe right side of the tantalum capacitor (brown bar side) on the CBC5300 module. Voltage should be between 4.5V and 9V depending on ambient light and battery state-of-charge. This test verifies operation of the boost converter.
3. Probe the positive (bottom side) terminal of capacitor C2 on the CBC-EVAL-08. Voltage should be 4.06V, or steadily increasing if there is no output voltage When the capacitor voltage reaches 3 8V the output will turn onvoltage. When the capacitor voltage reaches 3.8V, the output will turn on from zero volts to the voltage across capacitor C2. Note C2 will not be charging if the EnerChips are depleted. When the CBC-EVAL-08 is first powered up, the CBC5300 will first charge the EnerChips, then charge the output capacitor C2, then switch on the output when C2 is charged.
4. Probe J5 Pin 3 (VBAT). This pin should be at 4.06V.5. Probe J5 Pin 5 (VOUT). This pin should be at 3.5V.

EVAL-08 Troubleshooting (Pt. 2)
6. Probe J5 Pin 1 (CHARGE/). This pin should be at zero volts if the EnerChips are charged and enough ambient energy is available to operate p g g gy pthe CBC5300 module. Depending on the input impedance of the voltmeter, a high level on this pin would read between 1.0V and 3.5V.
7. If none of the above works, check pin 1 on one of the EnerChips on the CBC5300 d l ( i h i l d i h l b d) i di d i hCBC5300 module (with it plugged into the solar board), as indicated in the figure below. It should read approximately 3.9V. If the voltage is less than 3.0V, the EnerChips have been damaged.
8 In applications where a radio is being used - as in wireless sensor networks8. In applications where a radio is being used - as in wireless sensor networks - there can sometimes be external electrical interference with the radio signal that causes the radio receiver to stay on longer than normal.
– If this happens, the CBC-EVAL-08 output capacitor C2 will become discharged and the low battery cutoff circuit will engage, isolating the EnerChips from the load.
– It can take from several minutes to an hour or more for the EnerChips and output capacitor to be recharged.

settling time from sleep mode and how well it retains it’s accuracy (fewersettling time from sleep mode and how well it retains it s accuracy (fewer calibration cycles required).

Output Capacitor Requirements
• Sizing of output capacitor depends on several factors:– Battery impedance & voltagey p g– Temperature– Pulse current amplitude & duration– Allowable voltage drop during discharge
• Calculating output capacitor size:– C = t / R * [ -ln ( Vmin / Vmax ) ]
• C= output capacitance• t = pulse duration• R= load resistance = Vout(average) / Ipulse
– Vmin and Vmax are dependant on the minimum operating voltage of the external circuitexternal circuit
• Charge time determines maximum duty cycle:– Charge formula: t= R * C [ - ln ( 1 – Vmin / Vmax ) ]
• T = charging time
