bq27520EVM With System-Side, Single-Cell Impedance
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27520. The EVM includes one
bq27520 circuit module, a current sense resistor, one thermistor, an EV2300 PC interface board for gas
gauge interface and a PC USB cable. The circuit module includes one bq27520 integrated circuit and all
other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity for a system-side fuel gauge
solution. The circuit module connects directly across the battery pack. With the EV2300 interface board
and software, the user can read the bq27520 data registers, program the chipset for different pack
configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq27520
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.

    Software 10.1 Introduction Texas Instruments fuel gauges, employing the Impedance Track™ algorithm, offer an unmatched array of features and benefits. Sometimes, however, the wide range of configuration settings can seem challenging to get started with the evaluation process. In addition, determining the correct chemistry model and producing the 'golden image' file can be time consuming.

    Some operations must be completed in sequence due to data dependencies, or to implement the proper flow. Therefore, it is recommended that the prescribed sequence be followed, at least at first.
