Evaluation module Texas Instruments BQ77910EVM-001
The bq77910EVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq77910, a four=to ten-cell Li-ion battery protection integrated circuit.
Detailed Description
The EVM consists of a bq77910 circuit module and a resistor cell simulator module which can be used for simple evaluation of the bq77910 functions. The circuit module includes one bq77910 integrated circuit (IC), sense resistor, power FETs and all other onboard components necessary to protect the cells from overcharge, over discharge, short circuit, and over current discharge in a 10 series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery pack. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With a compatible interface board and Windows-based PC software, the user can view the bq77910 registers and program the IC configuration and protection limits.
If a designer wants to communicate with this EVM from a Windows-based PC, a separate USB Interface Adapter EVM is recommended. The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter serves as an interface adapter or a bridge between a host PC (IBM compatible) and one or multiple slave devices via a standard type-A to mini-B USB cable. The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter is listed below in the related tools section
