ABSTRACT
The BQ79616-Q1 and BQ75614-Q1 Evaluation Modules user's guide describes the general features, theory of
operation, hardware setup, and use of the BQ79616EVM and BQ75614EVM. Throughout this user's guide, the
abbreviations
BMS021
,
EVM
, and the term
evaluation module
are synonymous with the two different variants of
BMS021,
BQ79616-Q1 Evaluation Module
and
BQ75614-Q1 Evaluation Module
, unless otherwise noted. When
a difference is noted between the two variants, each variant will be differentiated as
BQ79616EVM
for the
BQ79616-Q1 Evaluation Module
, and the
BQ75614EVM
for the
BQ75614-Q1 Evaluation Module
. These EVMs
are evaluation boards for the
BQ79616-Q1
and BQ75614-Q1 devices for use in large format lithium-ion battery
pack applications to provide monitoring, protecting, balancing, and communications.
