bq27x10-Based Circuit Module
The bq27x10EVM-based circuit module is an example circuit for battery fuel gauging of a single-cell Li-
ion/Li-polymer battery pack. The EVM module has two separate circuits. One is the active bq27x10 fuel
gauging circuitry; the other is the logic and power control to program the on-chip configuration EEPROM
of the bq27x10. In a typical application, only the active fuel gauging circuitry is required. The EEPROM
programming circuitry would be required in a test setup to configure the bq27x10 for the application by
programming the EEPROM.
Contacts on the circuit module provide direct connection to the cell (J1-1, J2-2), and the serial
communications port (J1-3). The system load and charger connect across J1-1 and J2-1.
