Howdy Willer,
Looks like a homework problem. Learning how to debug is really
something important to understand. The first question you _always_
ask of any electronic problem is: "Is it plugged in?" In this case, you
are looking at power supplies, but even those have a source of power.
Another way to look at that question is to ask "Are the source voltages
good?" When you have multiple power supplies, you need to make sure all
of them are at spec.
After you have good power, you then check the major components. In the
case of the charging circuit, you have a clue that it is too hot. What
does that mean? P = I*V, so either there is too much current or too much
voltage. Why would there be too much current? Look at a typical Li-ion
charging circuit and think about the current flow in each part of the
circuit - and what would happen if someone dropped a screwdriver across a
couple of pins.
How does a buck converter work? How is efficiency measured? Once you can
think about what is going on, you can think about how to change it.
Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike

Dear all, I have two questions that I need to answer it's related to
Li-Ion battery charging circuit and Buck converter power supply. I have
some ideas, but I thought maybe the group might have suggestions. Here are the
questions any suggestion would be greatky appreciated.
1. A Li-Ion battery charging circuit on a
design you are
testing is turning on and off unexpectedly. You notice the charging
circuit is getting hot to touch. Describe how you would go about
diagnosing this circuit and what incremental steps you would take in
checking the design.
2. You are testing a buck converter switching power
supply on a
microcontroller-based circuit board, and you are observing an efficiency
of ~ 80%. Describe some ways you can improve the efficiency of the
circuit.
Thanks,
WJ

You can use the view->debug windows->image viewer to see the data from a
2d array directly. You can only process one memory location at a time,
but you can do a 2D array easily.
