SLVU925B – April 2014 – Revised July 2014 bq76930 and bq76940 Evaluation Module User's Guide The bq76930EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq76930, a 6-cell to 10-cell Li-Ion battery analog front end (AFE) integrated circuit. The bq76940EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq76940, a 9-cell to 15-cell Li-Ion battery analog front end (AFE) integrated circuit.
2.2.1 AFE Quick Start These steps describe quick connection of the bq76930 and bq76940 EVMs to demonstrate operation of the AFE portion of the EVM. For a more detailed description, refer to other sections of the user guide. Refer to...
2. Run the file InstallEV2300Drivers.exe bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 Software This section describes how to install and use the bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 software for the EVM. This software is used when evaluating the AFE alone without the gauge. For evaluation with the bq78350 gauge, refer to...
Check periodically for software updates. Use the following steps to install the bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 Software: 1. Copy the archive file to a directory of your choice, extract all files and run the setup.exe application. 2. Follow the instructions and make selections as required on the setup windows selecting Next as required.
The Read Device button at the top of the Registers view provides important setup of the bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 software and the IC. The software reads the factory gain and offset data from the device and populates these in the Stack V/T/I section for use in calculating display values. The software writes the CC_CFG register to its proper value and also detects the CRC mode of the device and sets the software appropriately.
Sequence Dialog section. The sequence can be edited by selecting the file name under the sequence name in the window. bq76930 and bq76940 Evaluation Module User's Guide SLVU925B – April 2014 – Revised July 2014 Submit Documentation Feedback...
4.4.8 Operation with Other Interfaces or Hosts The bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 software does not support other interface boards or adapters other than the EV2300 and EV2400. The software does not operate in a multi-master environment. If operated with another host on the line, data collisions can occur. Also be aware that the EV2400 has internal pull up resistors to 3.3 V, connecting to some shared busses could damage devices on that bus if the bus voltage...
Using the Execute after programming feature is recommended. Click on the Program button to start programming. A Progress Information window will display during programming and will close when complete. Programming typically takes about 45 s. bq76930 and bq76940 Evaluation Module User's Guide SLVU925B – April 2014 – Revised July 2014 Submit Documentation Feedback...
5. Open the cell simulator switches, if needed When using external balancing with P-channel MOSFETs, such as on the bq76930 and bq76940 EVMs, the inrush current for a cell can momentarily turn on the balance FET causing the next cell input below to rise.
Connecting to a Host After initial operation of the AFE with the bq76940/bq76930/bq76920 software, it may be desirable to operate the board connected to a microcontroller board. J14 can be used to connect to the microcontroller board. No voltages should be applied to the gauge terminals. Alternately, the microcontroller could be connected to the signal test points or J8 and the ALERT test point.
