1.1 Introduction

The BQ25853EVM can be evaluated for up to 20 cell supercapacitor charging implementing CC/CV profile. Typical applications include Low voltage battery system, Battery management unit, Domain Gateway, ADAS Domain Controller, and Front Door Module.

This EVM does not include the EV2500 or USB2ANY interface device and does not provide any electrical isolation for the digital interfaces. EV2500 or USB2ANY must be ordered separately to evaluate the BQ25853EVM and electrical safety considerations must be considered when interfacing between the PC and the EVM board. When interfacing the EVM to the PC through the digital interfaces, digital isolators with isolation boundary is recommended.

The BQ25853EVM has a smaller clearance and creepage than normally used on high voltage boards as well as not having an isolation boundary. If high voltage is applied to this board, all terminals must be considered high voltage and hazardous live. Electric shock is possible when connecting the board to a live wire. The board must be handled with care by a professional. For safety, use of isolated test equipment with various protection features (such as overvoltage and overcurrent) is recommended.
