This section includes a list of supplies required to perform tests on this EVM.

1. Power Supplies: Power Supply #1 (PS1): A power supply capable of supplying 5 V at 3 A is required. While this part can handle larger voltage and current, it is not necessary for this procedure.
2. Loads: Load #1 (4-Quadrant Supply, Constant Voltage < 4.5 V): A "Kepco" Load, BOP, 20-5M, DC 0 to ±20 V, 0 to ±5 A (or higher)
   
   Alternative Option: A 0–20V/0–5 A, > 30-W DC electronic load set in a constant voltage loading mode
   
   Load #2(Electronic or Resistive Load): 10 Ω, 5 W (or higher)
3. Meters: (6x) "Fluke 75" multimeters, (equivalent or better).
   
   Alternative Option: (4x) equivalent voltage meters and (2x) equivalent current meters. The current meters must be capable of measuring at least 5-A.
4. Computer: A computer with at least one USB port and a USB cable. Must have the latest version of Battery Management Studio installed.
5. USB-TO-GPIO Communication Kit: EV2300/EV2400 USB-based PC interface board.
6. Software: Download the latest version of BQSTUDIOTEST from www.ti.com.
   Double click the Battery Management Studio installation file and follow the installation steps. The software supports the Microsoft?Windows? XP, 7, and 10 operating systems.
