The EVM includes one bq20z70/bq29330/bq29412 circuitmodule, a current sense resistor, two thermistors, an EV2300 PC interface board forgas gauge interface, a PC USB cable, and Windows™-based PC software. The circuitmodule includes one bq20z70 IC, one bq29330 IC, one bq29412 IC, and all otheronboard components necessary to monitor and predict capacity, perform cell balancing,monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over discharge, shortcircuit, and overcurrent in 2-, 3- or 4-series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. Thecircuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. With the EV2300 interfaceboard and software, the user can read the bq20z70 data registers, program the chipsetfor different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluatethe overall functionality of the bq20z70/bq29330/bq29412 solution under differentcharge and discharge conditions.

This section contains information for modifying and choosing a precharge mode forbq20z70/bq29330/bq29412 implementation.
The schematic follows the bill of materials in this user's guide.
The chipset supports both a charger that has a precharge mode and one that does not. The EVM bydefault supports a charger that does not have a precharge mode. This is configured by grounding thePMS pin with a resistor. R12 and Q2 are used as the precharge current path in order to sustain sufficientPack+ voltage when the battery voltage is too low to power up the bq29330 IC.
If the charger has a precharge function, R12 and FET Q2 are not used. The PMS pin must be pulled highto disable ZVCHG output. The charge FET Q1 is used as the precharge FET, and the charger mustcontrol the precharge current and voltage.
Note: The configuration at PMS pin is a hardware level control. Once the bq20z70 is up and running, thefirmware may change the precharge settings. Please refer to bq20z70 datasheet for further information.
To prevent the loss of board functionality during the fuse-blowing test, the actual chemical fuse is notprovided in the circuit. FET Q4 drives TP3 low if a fuse-blow condition occurs; so monitoring TP3 can beused to test this condition.
This section contains the board layout, bill of materials, and assembly drawings for the bq20z70/ bq29330/bq29412 circuit module.
Note: For the battery pack designer: D3 is not recommended, and should be shorted out if theDSG FET does not have built-in zener diode protection.

This section describes how to install the bq20z70EVM-001 PC software, and how to connect the differentcomponents of the EVM.
The bq20z70EVSW requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Drivers for Windows 98SE are provided, butMicrosoft no longer supports Windows 98; and there may be issues in Windows 98 with USB driversupport. The EV2300 USB drivers have been tested for Windows 98SE, but no assurance is made forproblem-free operation with specific system configurations.
Find the latest software version in the bq20z70 tool folder on power.ti.com . Use the following steps toinstall the bq20z70EVSW software:1. Copy the files from the CD into the temporary directory you selected, in the folder "bq20z70 EV SWInstall", double-click on bqEVSWSetup00.09.32.exe and follow the installer instructions to complete thebq20z70 EVSW installation.2. If the EV2300 was not previously installed, after bq20z70 EVSW installation, a TI USB DRIVERINSTALLER will pop up. Click "Yes" for the agreement message and follow its instructions.3. Plug the EV2300 into a USB port.4. The Win98 Driver can be found in the archive Win98EV2300Drivers-DocUpdateDec1703.zip under the"EV2300 Drivers" folder.
If files were downloaded from the Web:1. Open the archive containing the installation package, and copy its contents in a temporary directory.2. Follow the preceding steps 1 - 4.
Ensure that the files were extracted from the zip file using the Preserve Folder names option.
Ensure that all the files were extracted from the zip file.
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 operatingsystem policy.
The bq20z70EVM-001 comprises three hardware components: the bq20z70/bq29330/bq29412 circuitmodule, the EV2300 PC interface board, and the PC.
Figure 7 shows how to connect the bq20z70/bq29330/bq29412 circuit module to the cells and systemload/charger.
The cells should be connected in the following order:1. 4-Cell Pack: 1N (BAT-), 1P, and 2P (see Section 2.1 for definitions).
