    Use professional test tools: During the test process, you can use oscilloscopes, multi-purpose meters, load boards, external power supplies and other tools. Oscilloscope can measure voltage, current, waveform and other parameters; Multipurpose meter can measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance and other parameters; The load board can simulate the real load situation; External power supply can provide stable voltage and current.
The function and working principle of power management chip
    The power management chip is responsible for the transformation, distribution, detection and other power management functions in the electronic equipment system. It is mainly responsible for identifying the CPU power supply amplitude, generating the corresponding short moment wave, and promoting the power output of the back-end circuit.
    Its role is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
    Energy saving and battery life extension: The power management chip can achieve efficient power management and control according to different application scenarios and load requirements to achieve energy saving and battery life extension. For example, it can dynamically adjust parameters such as power supply voltage and current to adapt to different load requirements, thereby improving battery efficiency and life.
    Protect system safety and stability: The power management chip can monitor key parameters such as battery power, power supply temperature, voltage and current to ensure the safety and stability of the system. When the battery is too low or too high, and the current is too large or too small, the power management chip will automatically control and protect the power system to prevent the system from being damaged or faulty due to power problems.
    Improve system efficiency and performance: The power management chip can improve the efficiency and performance of the entire system by optimizing the efficiency and performance of the power system. For example, it can improve voltage stability, prevent voltage reversal, etc.
What is the normal working voltage of the power management chip
    The normal operating voltage of the power management chip varies according to different chip models. Usually, the operating voltage of the power management chip can be found in the data manual of the chip. For example, the common power management chip TL431 operates from 2.5V to 36V, and other models of power management chips may have different operating voltage ranges. Therefore, it is necessary to determine its normal operating voltage according to the specific chip model.
    This article will take a DC/DC step-down power chip LM2675 as an example to look at the internal structure of the power chip.
    Typical application circuits for LM2675-5.0:

    This diagram contains all the internal unit modules of the power chip. We have understood the BUCK structure very well. The main function of this chip is to drive the MOS tube, and form a loop to control the PWM drive power MOS tube by detecting the output state through FB pin, so as to achieve stable voltage or constant current output. This is a non-synchronous mode power supply, that is, the continuous current device is an external diode, rather than an internal MOS tube.
    Its working principle mainly includes the following aspects:
    Power monitoring: The power management chip can monitor the input and output voltage, current, temperature and other parameters of the power supply in real time to ensure that the power supply works in a safe and reliable range.
    Power regulation: According to the requirements of the system, the power management chip can adjust the power supply to ensure stable voltage and current output to meet the power supply requirements of each component.
    Power protection: The power management chip can realize the over-current protection, over-voltage protection, over-temperature protection and other functions of the power supply to prevent the power supply from being damaged due to abnormal conditions and protect the stable operation of the system.
    Power management: Through software control, the power management chip can realize the management functions of the power switch, sleep, wake up, etc., to improve the energy efficiency and convenience of the system.
    In the working principle of the power management chip, it is first necessary to receive the power input signal, usually from the external power adapter, lithium battery or other direct current voltage. Then, the power management chip will regulate the input power signal to ensure that the output voltage is stable and suitable for the required circuit operation. This voltage stabilization process generally detects the actual value of the output voltage through the feedback loop, and compares it with the expected output voltage to achieve accurate voltage stability control.
    Please note that different power management chips may have different characteristics and functions, so in the specific application, it is necessary to choose the right power management chip according to the actual needs, and refer to the relevant technical documents and materials to ensure its correct and effective use.
