1.1 Introduction

The BQ40Z80EVM-020 circuit module includes one BQ40Z80 integrated circuit (IC), two BQ771807 secondary protectors, and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over-discharge, short-circuit, and overcurrent in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. The BQ40Z80EVM can use the onboard EV2400 or an external EV2400 interface board and software to read the BQ40Z80 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the design under different charge and discharge conditions.

WARNING: Replace capacitor C6 with a 1nF capacitor for full functionality testing.
