BQ20Z65EVM

The BQ20Z65EVM is a evaluation platform for bq20z65 battery management system. The bq20z65-R1 SBS compliant gas gauge and protection IC, incorporating patented Impedance Track technology, is a single IC solution designed for battery pack or in system installation. The circuit module includes one bq20z65 integrated circuit (IC), one bq29412 IC, and all other on board 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 or 4 series cell Li ion or Li polymer battery packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With the EV2300 interface board and software, the user can read the bq20z65 data registers, program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq20z65/bq29412 solution under different charge and discharge conditions.
