Items Needed for EVM Setup and Evaluation

  • bq40z50 or bq296000 circuit module
  • EV2300 or EV2400 communications interface adapter
  • Cable to connect the EVM to an EV2300 or EV2400 communications interface adapter
  • USB cable to connect the communications interface adapter to the computer
  • Computer setup with Windows XP, or higher, operating system
  • Access to the Internet to download the Battery Management Studio software setup program
  • One-to-four battery cells or 1-kΩ resistors to configure a cell simulator
  • A DC power supply that can supply 16.8 V and 2 A (constant current and constant voltage capability is desirable)
