The bq77910AEVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq77910A, a 4-
cell to 10-cell Li-Ion battery protection integrated circuit. The EVM consists of a bq77910A circuit module
and a resistor cell simulator module which can be used for simple evaluation of the bq77910A functions.
The circuit module includes one bq77910A 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 10-series cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery pack. The circuit module
connects directly across the cells in a battery. With a compatible interface board and Windows
software, the user can view the bq77910A registers and program the IC configuration and protection
limits.
