Texas Instruments bq30z554EVM User Manual

bq30z554EVM SBS 1.1 Impedance Track™ Enabled
The bq30z554EVM is a complete evaluation system for the bq30z554/bq29412 battery management
solution. This system includes one bq30z554/bq29412 circuit module, a current sense resistor, two
thermistors, and a link to Windows
The circuit module includes one bq30z554 IC, one bq29412 IC, and all other onboard components
necessary to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the
cells from overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit, and overcurrent in 2-series, 3-series, or 4-series cell Li-
Ion or Li-Polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery.
With the EV2300 or EV2400 interface board and software, users can read the bq30z554 data registers,
program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate
the overall functionality of the bq30z554/bq29412 solution under different charge and discharge
conditions.
