bq27520-Based Circuit Module
The bq27520-based circuit module is a complete and compact example solution of a bq27520 circuit for
battery management. The circuit module incorporates a bq27520 battery gas gauge integrated circuit (IC)
and all other components necessary to accurately predict the capacity of 1-series Li-ion cell.

Circuit Module Connections
Contacts on the circuit module provide the following connections:
•
Direct connection to the battery pack (J2 or J3): PACK+, PACK–, and TS
•
To the serial communications port (J8): SDA, SCL, and VSS
•
The system load and charger connect across charger and load (J6 and J7): CHARGER–/LOAD– and
CHARGER+/LOAD+.
•
Access to signal outputs (J5): SOC_INT, BAT_GD, and BAT_LOW
