Overview

The EV2710-C-00A is a Monolithic Power Systems evaluation board for a single-cell Li-ion battery charger rated at 500 mA. The board implements a charger with a 1 mA termination threshold and reported battery leakage below 1 A, providing a ready platform to characterize charger behavior and performance.

Why Choose This Part

Provides a ready-made platform to exercise a 500 mA single-cell charger without designing a custom PCB, speeding development and bench testing. The documented 1 mA termination level and low battery leakage make it useful for low-power designs where proper end-of-charge behavior matters. Using the evaluation board reduces risk from layout or component selection mistakes when first evaluating the charger topology.

Applications

Prototype single-cell Li-ion powered devices
Evaluate charging behavior and verify charge currents and termination for small battery-powered products like sensors and wearables.
Charger characterization and lab testing
Measure charge cycles, termination behavior, and thermal performance during development and validation.
Hardware bring-up and integration
Use as a known-good charger reference to speed PCB bring-up and confirm system-level battery charging before custom charger layout.

Getting Started

Download the EV2710-C-00A user guide and schematics from MPS to confirm pinouts, BOM, and recommended test procedures. Connect a suitable power source and either a single-cell Li-ion battery or a battery simulator, then monitor voltage, current, and temperature with a multimeter and oscilloscope while following the evaluation guide. Refer to the associated charger IC datasheet for detailed electrical limits and test conditions.
