BQ20Z655EVM

Evaluation Module For The Bq20Z655/Bq29412 Battery Management System

This evaluation module EVM is a complete evaluation system for the bq20z655/bq29412 and bq34z651/bq29412 battery management system. The EVM includes one bq20z655/bq29412 or bq34z651/bq29412 circuit module and a link to Windows®-based PC software. The circuit module includes one bq20z655 or bq34z651 integrated circuit IC, one bq29412 IC, and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and over-current in 2-, 3-, or 4-series cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With the EV2300 or EV2400 interface board and software, the user can read the bq20z655 or bq34z651 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the solution under different charge and discharge conditions
