BQ25570EVM-206: Bq25570 Power Consumption

Part Number: BQ25570EVM-206
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25570

Hi everyone,

I am designing an energy harvesting project based on the BQ25570. I read through the datasheet and found out that the power consumption is around 15uW after cold start. I would though like to double check the power consumption since my harvester produces only a small amount of power. My lab in my university has an Agilent N6705B DC analyser, and I would like to use that for my measurement. Can anyone please give me any information as to whether I need any additional hardware or software to find out the power consumption?

Thanks in advance.

With Regards,

Linto.

  • Linto,

    To measure the power from the harvester- i would recommend to check the open circuit voltage and then load it with a votlage source of around 50-80% of the harvester's OC voltage and look at the current being dumped into the Agilent supply.
