Description

The BQ40Z80EVM-020 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the BQ40Z80 battery management system. The EVM includes one BQ40Z80, two BQ771807 secondary protectors, and Microsoft®Windows®-based PC software, which can be used to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and overcurrent in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. The circuit includes an onboard EV2400 interface to USB so the software can read bqz40z80 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the design under different charge and discharge conditions.
