1.1 Overview
The EVM includes one bq2060A circuit module, a current sense resistor, a
thermistor, an EV2200 PC interface board for gas gauge interface, a PC serial
cable, and an EEPROM connector. The latest windows based EV2200-60 PC
software can be downloaded from the TI web site. The circuit module includes
one bq2060A IC and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and
predict capacity of Li-Ion or Li-Polymer (bq2060AEVM-001) or NiMH
(bq2060AEVM-002) cells. Protection for Li-Ion or Li-Polymer cells is not in-
cluded on this module. The circuit module connects directly across the cells
in a battery. With the EV2200 interface board and software, the user can read
the bq2060A data registers, program the chipset for different pack configura-
tions, log cycling data for further evaluation and evaluate the overall functional-
ity of the bq2060A solution under different charge and discharge conditions.
