BQ77207 Evaluation Module
ABSTRACT
The BQ77207EVM evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the BQ77207, a 3-series to
7-series cell Li-Ion battery protection integrated circuit. The EVM consists of a BQ77207 circuit module which
is used for simple evaluation of the BQ77207 protection function. The circuit module includes one BQ77207
integrated circuit (IC), thermistor, and all other onboard components necessary to signal the condition from
overcharge, overdischarge, and overtemperature in a 7-series cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery pack. The circuit
module connects directly across the cells in a battery, or can be connected with a power supply and the included
cell simulator resistors.

BQ77207 EVM Getting Started Guide

2 BQ77207 EVM Getting Started Guide
2.1 Before You Begin
The following warnings and cautions are noted for the safety of anyone using or working close to the
BQ77207EVM. Observe all safety precautions.
2.2 Warnings and Cautions
CAUTION
The BQ77207 does not limit performance to the ratings of the EVM. Set equipment appropriately to
limit voltage and current for safe operation.
CAUTION
The circuit module has signal traces, components, and component leads on the bottom of the board.
This may result in exposed voltages, warm surfaces, or sharp edges. Do not reach under the board
during operation.
2.3 Quick Start
The BQ77207 installed on the board will output DOUT and/or COUT high during faults as described in the
BQ77207 data sheet.
The BQ77207 is configured for cell count by the connections on the board. By default the board is set up for
seven cells and this quick start is for all seven cells. When fewer cells are used, refer to Section 3 and adjust the
supply voltage appropriately.
These steps describe quick connection of the BQ77207 EVM to demonstrate operation of the protector function
of the EVM. For more detailed descriptions, refer to other sections of the user guide.
Refer to Figure 2-1 for the following steps:
1. Install the cell simulator shunts on J4 and the power supply shunt on J3.
2. Connect a 0-V DC power supply capable of approximately 250 mA between the “BAT-” and "BAT+" terminals
and adjust to approximately 22 V.
3. Connect a meter to a VSS test point and monitor the COUT or DOUT test points, or the corresponding
signals at J2 terminals 2 or 3.
4. With nominal conditions observe that both COUT (J2 pin 2) and DOUT (J2 pin 3) are low, approximately 0 V.
5. Demonstrate an open-wire condition:
a. Remove the cell simulator shunt for cell 2, J4 pins 11 and 12.
b. Observe the COUT and DOUT signals go to approximately 7 V after 4.5 seconds.
c. Install the cell 2 cell simulator shunt at J4 pins 11 and 12.
6. Demonstrate an overvoltage condition:
a. Adjust the supply voltage to approximately 32 V.
b. Observe the COUT transitions to approximately 7 V after 1 second.
c. Confirm DOUT is low if desired.
d. Adjust the supply voltage to approximately 22 V.
7. Demonstrate an undervoltage condition:
a. Adjust the supply voltage to approximately 12 V.
b. Observe DOUT transitions to approximately 7 V after 1 second.
c. Observe COUT is low if desired.
d. Adjust the supply voltage to approximately 22 V.
8. Make other adjustments as desired for evaluation. See other sections of this user guide for details of
operation.
9. When complete with this quick start demonstration, turn off the power supply.
Refer to other sections of this user guide for additional details.

BQ77207 Circuit Module Use
www.ti.com
3 BQ77207 Circuit Module Use
The BQ77207 circuit module contains the BQ77207 IC and related circuitry to demonstrate the features of
the IC. The board does not control current, the COUT and DOUT signals pass directly to the J2 connector.
J2 has no current limit or ESD protection on the signals, provide any necessary protection during evaluation
external to the EVM. J3 provides a method to separate the supply feed from the input terminal block to measure
current or to apply a voltage for customer test mode. A thermistor provides temperature sensing on the board.
Other components provide support for the IC and connections to the board. Basic operation is described in the
BQ77207 EVM Getting Started Guide section. For details of the circuit, refer to the BQ77207EVM Circuit Module
Physical Construction section.
3.1 Cell Simulator
The EVM includes a resistive cell simulator made up of 499-Ω series resistors. The taps of the resistor network
are connected to the cell inputs using shunts on the J4 header. BAT- is always connected to the resistor divider
network. Install a shunt on the top cell location to connect BAT+ to the resistor divider to provide simulated
voltages for the other cell inputs. With the top shunt installed the resistor divider is connected and shunts on the
lower cell positions connect the inputs to the simulated voltages. With the top shunt removed all lower inputs
with installed shunts are pulled to VSS. There is no indication of the cell simulator connection, the user must be
aware of the shunt installation. The 499-Ω resistors provide a load of 2 mA per volt on each cell.
3.2 Reducing the Cell Count
The BQ77207 cell count is reduced by shorting unused cells, normally from the top down but cells between the
top and bottom may be shorted. The inputs are usually shorted at the IC as shown in the data sheet. The bottom
cell must be used for proper operation. Power for the IC comes from the BAT+ terminal so it must be connected
when using the EVM. While not recommended the inputs of the EVM can typically be shorted at the terminal
block for quick evaluation. For the best transient environment and to match the data sheet example, short the
VCx pins at the capacitor and remove the unused input resistor. When using the cell simulator, shorting the
unused cell at the terminal block is still required to eliminate the simulated cell voltage. Shorting the cell inputs
at the terminal block screw terminals is also suggested since it should be apparent if the board is reused for a
different cell count. While different connections are possible, Table 3-1 shows configuration recommendations for
five cells.

3.3 Connecting Cells
The EVM is constructed with a single connection to the top and bottom of the cell stack. Cell voltage for these
cells is sensed on the board. The board is not configured to control current into or out of the cells.
The cell simulator provides resistors between the cell inputs. When the cell simulator shunts are installed, these
resistors will load the cells and divide the voltage to any unconnected inputs as cells are connected. The shunts
must be removed or the cells will be discharged by the constant drain of the cell simulator resistors.
BAT- is the reference voltage for the IC and should be connected first. After BAT-, cells may be connected
in any order. Cell connection from the bottom up minimizes the voltage step size applied to the board. The
recommended connection sequence for the EVM when connecting cells is bottom up:
1. Connect BAT–
2. Connect cells bottom up; CELL1, CELL2, CELL3 ...
3. Ensure the cell simulator shunts are removed

3.4 Hardware Configuration
3.4.1 Unused Components
The EVM contains a few component patterns which are not used. RT1 is installed as the thermistor. If RT1 is
removed, an alternate may be installed at the R9 pattern or a through-hole thermistor may be installed at RT2.
With an appropriate part a suitable PTC could be installed at either pattern. See the schematic in Figure 4-7.
