1.2
Kit Contents
The bq76925EVM includes the PWR008 printed-circuit board (PCB). Evaluation software is downloadable
from the bq76925 product folder (http://www.ti.com/product/BQ76925/toolssoftware).
1.3
Equipment Requirements
The bq76925EVM includes one PCB containing a bq76925 application circuit. The following equipment
and software are typically needed for operation. Some items depend on the usage case.
1.3.1
bq76925 Evaluation Software
The bq76925 Evaluation Software is the Windows application that controls and interfaces with the
bq76925. The installation file can be found on the product page for the bq76925 on the Texas Instruments
Web site.
1.3.2
USB-TO-GPIO Adapter
The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter is actually an EVM available from Texas Instruments. It is used to provide the
I2C connection between the bq76925 and the PC.

Overview
www.ti.com
CAUTION
The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter original firmware is 1.0.10. Firmware version
2.0.19 or later must be installed using the USB-TO-GPIO Firmware Updater
software available (free) on the TI Web site at
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/usb2gpio-loader-sw.html.
1.3.3
Power Supply for Onboard Cell Simulator
A resistor divider network is provided on the bq76925EVM to simulate cells. This allows basic evaluation
of the bq76925 without the use of cells. In this case, a power supply connected between BATT+ and
BATT– is required to power the resistor network. A 24-V power supply with a current capability of 100 mA
is required to power the circuit .
1.3.4
Power Supply for Simulation of Current
A second power supply is used to simulate battery current. The bq76925 expects a sense resistor value of
0.001 Ω and 1 mV is equal to 1 A. A jumper (J5) allows the sense resistor to be disconnected from the
current input of the bq76925 and be replaced with a millivolt source. A power supply that can accurately
provide up to 100 mV can allow for simulated testing of up to 100 A without actually running this
dangerously high current.
1.3.5
Battery
Lithium-ion, rechargeable-type cells can be used with this EVM. Typical cell voltage rating is 3.3 V to 3.7 V
nominal and the pack consists of 3- to 6-series connected cells. Almost all Lithium-ion chemistries can be
used with the bq76925.
WARNING
This EVM has no battery current control devices (MOSFETs) that
can stop the flow of charge or discharge current in the event that a
dangerous condition is induced through discharging or charging
of a battery. Exercise extreme caution when using a battery with
this EVM.
1.3.6
Power Supply to Charge Battery
A power supply can be connected to the PACK± terminals to provide charge current if a battery is
connected to the BATT± inputs.
WARNING
Use caution when mating batteries with a charger power supply.
Some power supplies cannot tolerate current being fed into their
output terminals. A battery connected to a power supply can easily
cause this to happen. A properly sized blocking diode connected
to the positive output voltage of the power supply can provide
adequate protection against backfeed from the battery and into the
power supply electronics.

1.3.7
www.ti.com
Electronic Load
An electronic load is often needed to sink current or power from the battery and through the EVM. A
constant-current load provides a good means of evaluating the performance of the bq76925 when a
battery is used. Equipment rating depends on the application. Typical criteria for electronic load selection
are a voltage rating of up to 4.5 V/cell and up to 20-A discharge capability with 10-mA resolution.
1.3.8
Digital Multimeter
One or two digital multimeters (DMM) capable of voltage, current, and temperature measurement equal to
or greater than the accuracy ratings of the bq76925 are needed for adequate evaluation. Numerous test
clips on the PCB can accept a DMM.
1.3.9
Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope may be needed if evaluation of waveforms or timing measurements is required. Typical
waveforms that a user may be interested in are the I2C signals (100 kHz), cell-balancing waveforms or
capture of the activation time of the ALERT signal after an overcurrent event may be of interest. These
signals can happen down to the 10s of microseconds time base.

Pushbuttons (S1, S3)
The two pushbuttons on the EVM are normally open, momentary-style buttons. The pushbutton labeled
RESET (S1) is the reset button for the MSP430. Pressing this button restarts the MSP430.
The pushbutton labeled LEDs (S3) is intended to be a display control for the state of charge (SOC) display
formed by the four LEDs (D8 –D11). Pressing this button triggers an input on the MSP430 that
incrementally lights the four LEDs – despite what the actual SOC of the battery may be that is connected
to the EVM. This is the default functionality defined by the firmware. The user can choose to use the
pushbutton in another way by creating new firmware for the MSP430.

Evaluation Software and USB-TO-GPIO Adapter
The bq76925 Evaluation Software and the USB-TO-GPIO Adapter must be installed and set up.
The USB-TO-GPIO Adapter is an EVM that is sold separately from the bq76925EVM. The firmware in it
must be changed to work with the bq76925 because this EVM was developed for generic applications. Go
to the TI Web site to download the firmware loader.
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/usb2gpio-loader-sw.html
With the USB-TO-GPIO Adapter connected to the PC, follow the instructions included with the firmware
loader software, and change the firmware version to 2.0.19. All necessary files are included with the USBTO-GPIO Firmware Updater. The location of the firmware file (usb_bms_v2.0.19.bin) may be installed in a
different directory location, so a Windows search may be needed to find its location.
CAUTION
If the firmware download fails, do not disconnect the USB-TO-GPIO Adapter.
Try to load the firmware again until it is successful. Removing power after a
failed download can permanently damage the USB-TO-GPIO Adapter.
The bq76925 Evaluation Software is free to download from the product page for the bq76925 on the TI
Web site. Follow the installation instructions in the install package.

Figure 8. Volatile Control Registers Access
All of the bits that are assigned for reading and writing are shown. Bit positions that are unnamed are not
used. These bits must always be left as zero.
A legend that can be clicked explains the bit colors. A zero value for a bit is displayed as a grey
background. A one is shown as either a green background or as an orange background.
Clicking each bit toggles the bit value in real time. If a bit turns green, it is set to a 1. If a bit is white or
grey, it is a zero. Each of the STATUS bits is displayed in orange when they are a value of 1.
If the SLEEP bit is a 1, it halts communications, so that the status of this bit is unable to be displayed. The
SLEEP bit always appears to be OFF or MASKED.

The bq76925 shuts down the 3.3-V level at the V3P3 pin. The Hardware IO section shows a red light next
to V3P3 to indicate that the 3.3-V level is now zero. The Evaluation Software actually monitors the V3P3
output of the bq76925 via the USB-TO-GPIO Adapter input on pin 1.
Figure 10. Sleep Mode Showing 3.3-V Status
The method to wake the part from sleep is to apply a voltage, 3.3 V in the case of the bq76925EVM, to
the ALERT pin. This is accomplished easily by clicking the Wake button in the Hardware IO Section.

Measurement Tab
The measurement menu includes an Analog Output section and EEPROM Correction Registers section as
shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14. Measurement Tab in the Control Panel
5.3
Analog Output Section
The Analog Output Section consists primarily of a display of the analog outputs of the bq76925 circuit
including VCOUT, VIOUT, VREF, and THERM.
The analog levels are measured by the onboard MSP430F2122 and then stored internally. The MSP430
updates all of the analog-to-digital converter (A/D) results on a 12-µs interval. The bq76925 software
writes to the control registers in the bq76925 to dictate how the measurement system operates. The
sequence of events is as follows:
1. Set VCOUT to Read Internal Temperature.
2. Delay 40 µs, get A/D Counts for Internal Temperature.
3. Set VCOUT to Read VC6.
4. Delay 40 µs, get A/D Counts for VC6.
5. Set VCOUT to Read VC5.
6. Delay 40 µs, get A/D Counts for VC5.
7. Set VCOUT to Read VC4.
8. Delay 40 µs, get A/D Counts for VC4.
9. Set VCOUT to Read VC3.
10. Delay 40 µs, get A/D Counts for VC3.

VIOUT Readings
The VIOUT readings are shown in millivolts and labeled as SENSEP and SENSEN. The SENSEN
readings are done with I_AMP_CAL set to zero and are only taken in the first 5 seconds of polling while
the VIOUT signal level stabilizes. After that time, SENSEN is not updated. The SENSEP readings are
done with I_AMP_CAL set to one thereafter and are done continuously until polling is stopped.
This measurement technique results in an approximate 5-s delay before the current measurement
stabilizes.

Auto Control
Two checkboxes are in the Analog Output Section: Auto Control VCOUT during poll and Auto Control
VIOUT during poll, checked by default. The Auto Control VCOUT During Poll means that all six-cell
voltage inputs are read during polling. The Auto Control VIOUT During Poll means that the current is read
during polling. Note that these checkboxes do not turn the Voltage and Current Amplifier circuits on/off.
5.7
EEPROM Correction Registers
The EEPROM Correction Registers are the seven registers in the bq76925 that store the offset and gain
values for the VCn circuits and the VREF circuit. These values can be different for each device. See the
data sheet for additional details.
Each gain value is derived from the top four bits (nibble) of the register value. This number is a signed 2’s
complement representation in the range of –8 to +7. The units are in mV.
Each offset value is derived from the bottom four bits (nibble) of the register value. This number is a
signed 2’s complement representation. The units are in 0.1%.
5.8
Startup Config Tab
The Startup Config tab is a convenience feature. It allows the user to set the way the bq76925 Evaluation
Software initializes each time it is started or when the Find Target Command is issued.
This tab specifies the settings of the Control Registers 0x00 to 0x05 when the Enable checkbox is

Configuration Control
The Configuration Control section displays some of the options that a user may want to have preselected
each time the software starts. The features are listed by description rather than bit location and value (1 or
0). Again, this is a convenience feature, and usage of this tab is purely optional.
A. A drop-down box for the Current Comparator threshold setting has values of 25, 50, 75, … , 375, 400
mV. These are bits 4 to 7 in the CONFIG_1 register.
B. Two radio buttons allow the user to select the current polarity for the Current Comparator Threshold.
This is bit 3 of the CONFIG_1 register.
C. A drop-down box for the Current Amplifier Gain is bit 0 of the CONFIG_1 register.
D. Two radio buttons allow the user to select the current measurement polarity for the Current Amplifier.
This is bit 2 of the CONFIG_1 register.
E. Two radio buttons allow the user to select the voltage reference (VREF). This is bit 0 of the CONFIG_2
register.
F. The CRC Enable/Disable function has a checkbox. Check the box marked CRC Enable to turn on the
CRC feature. This is bit 7 of the CONFIG_2 register.
G. The POR Enable/Disable function has a checkbox. Check the box marked POR Clear to turn on the
POR clear feature. This is related to bit 0 of the CONFIG_1 register.
H. The Startup Config Functionality has a checkbox to enable/disable.
5.9.1
Configuration Control Example
As an example of how to use the Configuration Control, change the Current Comparator Threshold to 175
mV, and then press the F2 key to execute the Find Target Command. The I_THRESH bits in the
CONFIG_1 register changes to [0110].
Figure 16. Change to the Current Comparator Threshold to 175 mV at Start-Up
5.10 Power Control
The Power Control section allows the user to have certain components of the measurement system
enabled at the start of the software.
When checked, five checkboxes activate the corresponding components in the bq76925. The default
setting is to have all of the components turned off.
These checkboxes correspond to bits 0 to 4 in the PWR_CTL register.

3. The Export… button opens the file listed in the text box preceded by Log File: in the program assigned
to open Common Separated Value (.csv) files on the computer.
5.13 Log File Options
The logging rate can be set by the drop-down box marked Log Rate. The logging rates are in seconds.
Two checkboxes offer options for how logging is done. The first checkbox labeled Overwrite File deletes
any existing data in the specified log file (.csv) each time logging is started. The second checkbox labeled
Include Uncorrected Values includes all of the uncorrected values for VCOUT and VIOUT.
5.14 Enable/Disable Logging
Logging is enabled by clicking the checkbox on the home screen of the software marked Logging. Then,
only after polling is started does the log file start to record samples of data. Logging is halted when polling
is stopped.
Editing of the Logging Tab is disabled when logging is enabled.

5.16 Communications Tab
The communications tab is another convenience feature of the bq76925 Evaluation Software. It gives the
user insight into the communications happening between the Software, MSP430F2122, and the bq76925.
It also allows the user to perform manual reads and writes of the control registers of the bq76925.
The software both writes and reads to the bq76925 and just reads from the MSP430F2122.

5.17 Monitor Window
The Monitor window can be used to monitor all of the communication traffic on the I2C bus. It records the
transaction history. The default condition of the monitor is to be off. Click on the checkbox below the
window that is labeled Enable to enable the monitor.
The Clear button erases the contents of the monitor window, if clicked.
CAUTION
Be aware of a warning that reads: "Attention. The purpose of this
communications monitor is to evaluate the various commands to and from the
target device. It is not recommended for long term data capture and should be
disabled while logging is active.” This restriction is computer dependent based
on the amount of system memory. If left on for too long, the computer’s system
memory may get allocated to a point where the application performance can be
severely affected.
I2C_W is a write transaction from the software. I2C_R is a read transaction issued by the software.
