BQ76922EVM Evaluation Module
The BQ76922EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the BQ76922, a 3-cell to 5-cell
Li-Ion battery monitor integrated circuit. The EVM consists of a BQ76922 circuit module which is used for simple
evaluation of the BQ76922 monitor function. The circuit module includes one BQ76922 integrated circuit (IC),
sense resistor, power FETs, and all other onboard components necessary to protect the cells from overcharge,
over discharge, short circuit, and overcurrent discharge in a 5-series cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery pack. The
circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery, or can be connected with a power supply and
the included cell simulator resistors. With the on-board interface or compatible external interface board and
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
based PC graphical user interface (GUI) software, the user can view the device registers,
adjust protection limits and enable FET control outputs.
