Quick Setup Procedure

Step 1: Verify lead-acid battery voltage less than 12V, higher than 10V.

Step 2: Connect battery to output terminals as shown in Figure 2.

Step 3: Connect Solar panel or Solar Array Simulator to the input terminals as shown in Figure 2.

Step 4: Verify battery charging current up to 9A (Average slightly under 9A).

Step 5: If battery current low, verify input operates at maximum power point voltage as specified by the

panel manufacturer.

Step 6: Verify charging profile follows the profile shown in Figure 1.

10V Power Supply

The circuit shown in Figure 3 will provide a 10V power supply rail required to properly bias the SM72295

gate driver. The system can be configured to work with solar panels up to100V (with proper components

sizing) and down to 12V Vmp.
