SSV Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Here is some confirmation data of dna200 USB charge accuracies. The current source is a simple PSU set to 5v. I can confirm linear scaling in the charge current as the voltage is reduced.....the oscillogram is of the USB data lines (floating) int a FET probe, on the LeCroy. I repeated numerous fault conditions in both the data and power lines and there was no erratic behavior to mention. Current always capped out at around 1 amp. Shorting data lines lead to no erratic current spikes either. The discrepancy between OSD and DMM is USB cable losses. I purposely used the lowest quality USB cable I could find, so 20/30mA losses along the cable seems about right. Hope this information is useful for some. At the least it shows a large degree of confidence in evolv dna200 USB charge capabilities and controller......kudos evolv for building some decent BMS.....
