BQ77216 Evaluation Module
Willy Massoth
The BQ77216EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the BQ77216, a 3-cell to 16-
cell Li-Ion battery protection integrated circuit. The EVM consists of a BQ77216 circuit module which is used for
simple evaluation of the BQ77216 protection function. The circuit module includes one BQ77216 integrated
circuit (IC), thermistor, and all other onboard components necessary to signal the condition from overcharge,
overdischarge, and overtemperature in a 16-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.
