bq27425 EVM: Single-Cell Impedance Track Technology
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27425. The EVM includes one
bq27425 circuit module with an integrated current-sense resistor. A separated orderable EV2300 or
EV2400 PC interface board for gas gauge interface along with a PC USB cable, and Windows™-based
PC software is needed when using this EVM. The circuit module includes one bq27425 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 or EV2400
interface board and software, the user can:
Read the bq27425 data registers
Program the chipset for different configurations
Log cycling data for further evaluation
Evaluate the overall functionality of the bq27425 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.
