bq77905 3-5S Low Power Protector Evaluation Module
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq77905 3-5S low power protector
for lithium-ion cells. The EVM includes one bq77905 and FETs to control current in a configuration typical
for switching current in a lithium-ion battery pack. The circuit module includes one bq77905 integrated
circuit (IC), a sense resistor, thermistor, two CSD18534Q5A FETs, and all other onboard components
necessary to switch charge and discharge current. The circuit module connects between a "battery"
source and a "pack" load. In addition to the current and voltage applied to the module the user can
remove on-board jumpers to simulate over- or under-temperature conditions to observe FET control under
different charge and discharge conditions.
