bq27620 EVM: Single-Cell Impedance Track Technology
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27620. The EVM includes one
bq27620 circuit module, a current sense resistor, an EV2300 PC interface board for gas gauge interface,
a PC USB cable, and Windows
™ -based PC software. The circuit module includes one bq27620 integrated
circuit and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity for a system-side fuel
gauge solution. The circuit module connects directly across the battery pack. With the EV2300 interface
board and software, the user can read the bq27620 data registers, program the chipset for different pack
configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq27620
solution under different charge and discharge conditions. The latest Windows TM
– based PC software
can be downloaded from the product folder on the Texas Instruments Web site.
