Description for the BQ76925EVM
The BQ76925EVM is an evaluation module for BQ76925, analog front end for 3 to 6 Series Lithium-Ion Cells. The user's guide for the BQ76925EVM evaluation module can assist designers in their evaluation of the BQ76925. This guide discusses setup and operation of the module and contains schematics, bill of materials, and printed-circuit board layout. Before designing a battery management system with the BQ76925, designers are advised to read the BQ76925 data sheet. If a designer wants to communicate with this EVM from a Windows-based PC, a separate USB interface adapter EVM is recommended. The USB-TO-GPIO adapter serves as an interface adapter or a bridge between a host PC (IBM compatible) and one or multiple slave devices via a standard type-A to mini-B USB cable. The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter is listed below in the related tools section.
