PowerCal 2 is a powerful, easy to use hardware
platform that supports configuration, calibration and
test of Microchip PS7XX and PS5XX ICs. It operates
under the control of Microchip’s development/test
software interfaced to a Windows PC.
The PowerCal 2 board facilitates serial or USB com-
munication between the PC and the SMBus battery
interface. Whether connected to the PC’s serial (RS-232)
or USB port, the PowerCal 2 board must be powered
through an external 12V DC power supply.

The Microchip PowerCal 2 platform facilitates com-
munication between a battery containing a Microchip
PS5XX or PS7XX IC and a PC running Microchip’s
development/test software. The information that
follows will guide you through the setup of the various
features available.
2.1
• P1 – Serial (RS-232)
• J1 – USB
• J2 – 12V DC power supply
• TBP – Pluggable terminal block for device under
• TBV – Pluggable terminal block for individual cell

test. Looking into the connector on the board, the
pins from left to right are:
- V+: Battery pack positive
- C: SMBus clock
- D: SMBus data
- T:
- V-: Battery pack negative
voltages. Use depends on the number of series
cells in a Lithium pack. Looking into the connector
on the board, the pins from left to
right are:
- VC4: Top of fourth series cell in pack
- VC3: Top of third series cell in pack
- VC2: Top of second series cell in pack
- VC1: Battery pack positive

2.3
Connect the USB cable from J1 on the PowerCal 2
board to the USB port on the PC. Connect a 12V DC
power supply to J2 and plug it into the electrical outlet.
The board is now powered. Attach your battery to the
TBP connector and launch the Microchip development/
test software on the PC.
2.4
Connect the serial cable from P1 on the PowerCal 2
board to the RS-232 port on the PC. Connect a 12V DC
power supply to J2 and plug it into the electrical outlet.
The board is now powered. Attach your battery to the
TBP connector and launch the Microchip development/
test software on the PC.
2.5
Connections from the individual cell voltages of a
Lithium pack can be attached at TBV to measure and
calibrate the individual cell voltages of the series cells
in the pack. Unused cell voltages should be connected
to V- during VC calibration.
