bq27620 EVM: Single-Cell Impedance Track Technology
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq27620. The EVM includes one
bq27620 circuit module, a current sense resistor, an EV2300 PC interface board for gas gauge interface,
a PC USB cable, and Windows™-based PC software. The circuit module includes one bq27620 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 bq27620 data registers, program the chipset for different pack
configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq27620
solution under different charge and discharge conditions. The latest Windows TM – based PC software
can be downloaded from the product folder on the Texas Instruments Web site.

EVM Hardware and Software Setup
This section describes how to install the bq27620EVM PC software and how to connect the different
components of the EVM.
5.1
System Requirements
The bq27620EVSW software requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Drivers for Windows 98SE are
provided, but Microsoft™ no longer supports Windows 98; therefore, Windows 98 can have issues with
USB driver support. The EV2300 USB drivers have been tested for Windows 98SE, but no assurance is
made for problem-free operation with specific system configurations.
5.2
Software Installation
Find the latest software version in the bq27620 tool folder on power.ti.com. Make a search by Part
Number for bq27620 to access the tool folder. Use the following steps to install the bq27620EVSW
software:
1. Ensure that the EV2300 or EV2400 is not connected to the personal computer (PC) through the USB
cable before starting this procedure.
2. Open the archive containing the installation package, and copy its contents into a temporary directory.
3. Open the software file that was downloaded from the TI Web site.
4. Follow the instructions on screen until completing the software installation.
5. Before starting the evaluation software, connect the EV2300 or EV2400 to the computer using the USB
cable.
6. If EV2300 is connected, wait until system prompt “new hardware found” appears. Choose “select
location manually”, and use the “browse” button to point to subdirectory TIUSBWin2K-XP-1.
7. Answer “continue” to the warning that drivers are not certified with Microsoft™.
8. After installation finishes, another system prompt "new hardware found" appears. Repeat steps 1
through 5, but specify the directory as TIUSBWin2K-XP-2.
9. Answer "continue" to the warning that drivers are not certified with Microsoft. Driver installation is now
finished.
6
Troubleshooting Unexpected Dialog Boxes
The user that is downloading the files must be logged in as the administrator. The driver is not signed, so
the administrator must allow installation of unsigned drivers in the operating system policy.

Hardware Connection
The bq27620EVM comprises three hardware components: the bq27620 circuit module, the EV2300 PC
interface board, and the PC.

Operation
This section details the operation of the bq27620 EVSW software.
8.1
Starting the Program
Run bq27620 EVSW from the Start | Programs | Texas Instruments | bq Evaluation Software menu
sequence. The DataRAM screen (Figure 7) appears. Data begins to appear once the (single
time scan) button is clicked, or when the check box is checked. To disable the scan
feature, deselect .
The continuous scanning period can be set with the | Options | and | Set Scan Interval | menu selections.
The range for this interval is 0 ms to 65,535 ms. Only items that are selected for scanning are scanned
within this period.

Operation
www.ti.com
The bq27620 EVSW provides a logging function which logs the values that were last scanned by EVSW.
To enable this function, select the Start Logging button; this causes the Keep Scanning button to be
selected. When logging is stopped, the Keep Scanning button is still selected and has to be manually
unchecked.
The logging intervals are specified under the | Options | menu with the maximum value of 65,535 ms. The
Log interval cannot be smaller than the scan interval because this results in the same value being logged
at least twice.
Figure 7. DataRAM Screen
This screen (Figure 2) shows the RAM data set. Additional Flag and Status data can be viewed at the
bottom of the DataRAM screen.
Dragging the splitter bar (line that separates the Flags/Status data from Data Ram register values)
changes the height of the Flags/Status Data display. Selecting | View |, then | Auto Arrange | returns the
splitter bar to its original location.
8.2
Setting Programmable bq27620 Options
The bq27620 data flash comes configured per the default settings detailed in the bq27620 data sheet.
Ensure that the settings are correctly changed to match the pack and application for the bq27620 solution
being evaluated.
IMPORTANT: The correct setting of these options is essential to get the best performance. The settings
can be configured using the Data Flash screen (Figure 8).

To read all the data from the bq27620 data flash, click on menu option | Data Flash | Read All |. ,
which writes the entire tab of flash data, or select menu option | Data Flash | Write All |. The data flash
must be read before any writes are performed to avoid any incorrect data being written to the device.
The | File | Special Export | menu options allows the data flash to be exported, but it configures the
exported data flash to a learned state ready for mass production use.
The data-flash configuration can be saved to a file by selecting | File | Export | and entering a file name. A
data-flash file also can be retrieved in this way, imported, and written to the bq27620 using the | Write All
|button.
The module calibration data is also held in the bq27620 data flash.
The bq27620 allows for an automatic data-flash export function, similar to the DataRAM logging function.
This feature, when selected via | Options | Auto Export |, exports Data Flash to a sequential series of files
named as FilenameNNNNN.gg where N = a decimal number from 0 to 9.
The AutoExport interval is set under the | Options menu | with a minimum value of 15 s. The AutoExport
filename also is set under the | Options menu |.
When a check is next to | AutoExport |, the AutoExport is in progress. The same menu selection is used to
turn on/off AutoExport.
If the Data Flash screen is blank, then the bq27620 that is being used may not be supported by the
bqEVSW version that is being used. An upgrade may be required.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION
PURPOSES ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operation of this
equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense
will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 0 V to 5V and the output voltage range of 0 V to 5V .
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible damage to the EVM. If there are
questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or possible permanent damage to the
EVM. 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. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above 60° C as long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components
include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These types of
devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near
these devices during operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.
