bq27742EVM Single-Cell Impedance Track™ Technology
Evaluation Module
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27742-G1 fuel gauge. The EVM
includes one bq27742 circuit module, a current sense resistor, two thermistors, and two protection N-
FETs. An EV2400 PC interface board and a PC USB cable are required for fuel gauge interface, but must
be ordered separately. The circuit module includes one bq27742 integrated circuit and all other onboard
components necessary to monitor and predict capacity for a pack-side fuel gauge solution and to perform
the protection. The circuit module connects directly across the battery cell. With the EV2400 interface
board and software, the user can read the bq27742 data registers, program the chipset for different pack
configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq27742
solution under different charge and discharge conditions. The latest Windows™-based PC software can
be downloaded from the product folder on the Texas Instruments Web site.
