bq27520EVM With System-Side, Single-Cell Impedance
Track™ Technology
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27520. The EVM includes one
bq27520 circuit module, a current sense resistor, and one thermistor. An EV2300 board is required to
interface this EVM with the PC and can be purchased separately. The circuit module includes one
bq27520 integrated circuit and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity
for a system-side fuel gauge solution. The circuit module connects directly across the battery pack. With
the EV2300 interface board and software, the user can read the bq27520 data registers, program the
chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall
functionality of the bq27520 solution under different charge and discharge conditions. The latest
Microsoft® Windows® based PC software can be downloaded from the product folder on the Texas
Instruments Web site.

Operation
This section details the operation of the bqStudio software.
7.1
Starting the Program
Run bqStudio from the Start | All Programs | Texas Instruments | Battery Management Studio. The main
screen (Figure 7) appears. If instead of Figure 7 appearing, Figure 8 appears, it may mean that the EVM
is not connected to the computer correctly. Make sure that the USB interface (EV2300 or EV2400 or GDK)
and the bq27520 are connected and restart bqStudio. If this still does not resolve the issue, check if the
I2C pull-up resistors are connected. Data begins to appear once the (single-time scan) button is
clicked, or when the Scan button is clicked. To disable the scan feature, simply click the Scan button
again.
The continuous scanning period can be set by opening Window | Preferences → Registers section. The
range for this interval is 0 ms to 65,535 ms. Only items that are selected for scanning are scanned within
this period.
Battery Management Studio provides a logging function which logs the values that were last scanned. To
enable this function, select the Start Log button; this causes the Scan button to be pressed. When logging
is Stopped, the Scan button will still be selected and has to be manually clicked again.

bqStudio™ Software
10.1 Introduction
Texas Instruments fuel gauges, employing the Impedance Track algorithm, offer an unmatched array of
features and benefits. Sometimes, however, the wide range of configuration settings can seem
challenging to get started with the evaluation process. In addition, determining the correct chemistry model
and producing the 'golden image' file can be time consuming. The bqStudio program is designed to greatly
simplify the process of configuring, calibrating, selecting chemistry, and performing learning cycles through
the step-by-step use of a wizard program.
10.2 Program Navigation and Flowchart
The sequence of operation of the bqStudio program can be understood by reviewing the basic flowchart in
Figure 15 . Using the program is simple – just start a new project and follow the steps sequentially from
1A to 5C. You can use the Next button, or click on the top tabs and left subsection labels to move to any
desired page. Some operations must be completed in sequence due to data dependencies, or to
implement the proper flow. Therefore, it is recommended that the prescribed sequence be followed, at
least at first.
