Texas Instruments bq77216EVM Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments bq77216EVM Evaluation Module is designed to thoroughly evaluate the bq77216, a 3-cell to 16-cell Li-ion battery protection integrated circuit. The bq77216 family of products provides a range of voltage and temperature monitoring, including overvoltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), open-wire (OW), and overtemperature (OT) protection for Li-ion battery pack systems. The bq77216EVM circuit module includes one bq77216 integrated circuit (IC), thermistor, and cell simulation resistors to provide a complete evaluation system to signal the condition of overcharge, over-discharge, and overtemperature in a 16-series cell li-ion battery pack.

Features

3-series to 16-series lithium-ion protector with over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, and open-wire protections
Terminal blocks for input connection

Active high and open drain low outputs for evaluation
This circuit is tested and includes a getting started guide

Required Equipment

The following equipment is required to operate the bq77216 EVM in a simple demonstration:
- DC power supply, 0–71V at 1A
- DC voltmeter
- Test leads to connect equipment
Additional equipment may be desired to operate the bq77216 with a more extensive demonstration
