Introduction
The bq27x10EVM includes one bq27x10EVM circuit module, an EV2300 PC interface board for gas
gauge evaluation, a USB cable, CD ROM including Windows™-based PC software and support
documentation. The circuit module includes one bq27x10, a current sense resistor, and all other
components onboard necessary to calculate remaining battery capacity and predict system run-time to
empty. The circuit module connects directly across the cell in a battery. With the PC interface board and
software, the user can read the bq27x10 data registers, program the on-chip configuration EEPROM, and
evaluate the functions of the bq27x10 under different charge and discharge conditions.
