Product Information
Description
This EVM is a complete evaluation system for the bq20z80/bq29312A/bq29400 Li-Ion smart battery chipset. The EVM includes one bq20z80/bq29312A and the independent 2nd level overvoltage protection bq29400, the circuit module with current sense resistor and thermistor, an EV2300 PC interface board for gas gauge interface, a PC serial cable (USB), and Windows-based PC software. The circuit monitors and predicts capacity, performs cell balancing, monitors critical parameters, protects the cells from overcharge, over discharge, short circuit, and overcurrent in 2-, 3- or 4-series cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With the EV2300 interface board and software, the user can read the bq20z80 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq20z80/bq29312A and bq29400 solution under different charge and discharge conditions.
Please refer to the bq20z80EVM-001 User Guide for information on how to install the software, connect the evaluation setup, and use the main features of the evaluation kit.
