bq27531EVM With bq27531 Battery Management Unit
Impedance Track™ Fuel Gauge and bq24192 4.5-A,
Switch-Mode Battery Charger for Single-Cell Applications
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the Battery Management Unit (BMU)
chipset consisting of the bq27531-G1 fuel gauge and bq24192 battery charger. The EVM includes one
bq27531 circuit, including a current sense resistor and one thermistor. In addition, the fuel gauge controls
the bq24192 battery charger's settings and monitors its status via I2C communication lines. Together, the
chipset provides all necessary components to monitor and predict capacity for a system-side fuel gauge
solution as well as to charge the battery from either an adapter or USB input with up to 4.5-A of charge
current. The circuit module connects directly across the battery pack. With the EV2300 interface board
and software, the user can read the bq27531-G1 data registers, program the chipset for different pack
configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the battery
management unit 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.

4.1
Recommended Test Equipment
4.1.1
Power Supplies
1. Power Supply #1 (PS #1) capable of supplying 6 V at 3 A is required.
2. If not using a battery as the load, then power supply #2 (PS #2) capable of supplying up to 5 V at 5 A
is required to power the circuit shown in Figure 7.
4.1.2
Load #1 Between BAT and GND
Testing with an actual battery is the best way to verify operation in the system. If a battery is not available,
then a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 7 can simulate a battery when connected to a power
supply.

Operation
This section details the operation of the bqStudio software.
6.1
Starting the Program
Run bqStudio from the Start | All Programs | Texas Instruments | Battery Management Studio. The main
screen (Figure 9) appears. If instead of Figure 9 appearing, Figure 10 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 bq27531 are connected and restart bqStudio. If this still does not resolve the issue, check if the
I2C pullup 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.

of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
