bq26500EVM-Based Circuit Module
The bq26500EVM based circuit module is an example circuit for battery fuel gauging of a single cell LiIon/Li-Polymer battery pack. There are two separate circuits on the EVM module. One is the active
bq26500 fuel gauging circuitry; the other is the logic and power control to program the on-chip
configuration EEPROM of the bq26500. In a typical application, only the active fuel gauging circuitry is
required. The EEPROM programming circuitry would be required in a test setup to configure the bq26500
for the application by programming the EEPROM.
Contacts on the circuit module provide direct connection to the cell (J1−1, J2−2), the serial
communications port (J1−3). The system load and charger connect across J1−1 and J2−1.

Operation
This section details the operation of the bq26500EVM software.
8.1
Starting the Program
Run the program from the Start→Programs→Texas Instruments→bq26500 Battery Monitor menu
sequence. The software defaults to PC USB port for communication. If the EV2300 is connected to USB
port, the program should load and display the initial data screen as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Initial Register Screen
If the EV2300 is not connected to a USB port, the program will display a USB error message and then
display the initial data screen with no data in the register locations.
The com port can be changed by selecting the port under the options menu.
8.2
Initialization
This section describes the settings that must be made before the bq26500 is evaluated.
8.2.1
Loading the Sense Resistor Value
The bq26500EVM comes with a 20-mΩ sense resistor on the circuit board. Make sure the sense resistor
value is entered in the RS box at the top of the initial register screen. This value is used by the PC
program to convert the bq26500 data set to engineering units. Checking the display engineering units box
displays the data set in engineering units. No check mark displays the data set just as the bq26500
calculates them, ie, in units of 3.0-µVh counts.
8.2.2
Programming the bq26500 EEPROM
Each bq26500 is programmed at the factory with default values in the EEPROM. The values in EEPROM
should be changed to match specific applications. The EEPROM values can be read by using the
EEPROM screen (Figure 8).

Operation
www.ti.com
Figure 8. EEPROM Screen
The values in the EEPROM can be easily changed using the EVM’s auto programming feature. To use the
auto program feature:
1. Make sure VOUT of the EV2300 is connected to PROG of the EVM.
2. Connect a 21-V supply across 21 V (J3−1) and VSS (J3−3).
3. Click on the use auto-programming box to enable auto EEPROM programming.
To change the EEPROM values simply click on the value to be changed, enter the new value, and press
enter.
The EEPROM values can be stored in a file on the PC by using the File|Save Gas Gauge Flash
Constants command from the pull down menu. Similarly, a saved file can be load by using the File|Open
Gas Gauge Flash Constants command. Once the file is called up, the Write all EEPROM button can be
used to write all the EEPROM values at once.
NOTE: Changing EEPROM data affects critical aspects of the bq26500 operation. Please review the
bq26500 data sheet to determine how to develop new data for the EEPROM based on your
application. It is recommend to first save the default EEPROM data as a file first before
changing the data. In this way, the default data programming can easily be restored.
The bq26500 automatically uses the new EEPROM in its calculations, once programmed.
8.2.3
Resetting the bq26500
The bq26500 can be reset at anytime by using the Options|Special Options|Reset bq26500 from the
pulldown menu. When reset, the bq26500 loads the configuration values from EEPROM and set the
remaining capacity registers to zero.

EVALUATION BOARD/KIT/MODULE (EVM)
WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND DISCLAIMERS
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development Environments. Unless otherwise indicated, this EVM is not a finished
electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in
laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks
associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end
product.
Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug
Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees,
affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes.
You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable
regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates,
contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical)
between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to
minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
Since the EVM is not a completed product, it may not meet all applicable regulatory and safety compliance standards (such as UL,
CSA, VDE, CE, RoHS and WEEE) which may normally be associated with similar items. You assume full responsibility to determine
and/or assure compliance with any such standards and related certifications as may be applicable. You will employ reasonable
safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to
perform as described or expected.
You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing materials.
Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the
user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and
environmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact
a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the
specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or
interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the
load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures
greater than 60°C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include
but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the
EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please
be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable
in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs.
Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representatives
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in
connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims
arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected.
Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (such
as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices
which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate
Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
