Introduction
The bq27x10EVM includes one bq27x10EVM circuit module, an EV2300 PC interface board for gasgauge evaluation, a USB cable, CD ROM including Windows™-based PC software and supportdocumentation. The circuit module includes one bq27x10, a current sense resistor, and all othercomponents onboard necessary to calculate remaining battery capacity and predict system run-time toempty. The circuit module connects directly across the cell in a battery. With the PC interface board andsoftware, the user can read the bq27x10 data registers, program the on-chip configuration EEPROM, andevaluate the functions of the bq27x10 under different charge and discharge conditions.

2 bq27x10-Based Circuit Module
bq27x10-Based Circuit Module
The bq27x10EVM-based circuit module is an example circuit for battery fuel gauging of a single-cellLi-ion/Li-polymer battery pack. The EVM module has two separate circuits. One is the active bq27x10 fuelgauging circuitry; the other is the logic and power control to program the on-chip configuration EEPROMof the bq27x10. In a typical application, only the active fuel gauging circuitry is required. The EEPROMprogramming circuitry would be required in a test setup to configure the bq27x10 for the application byprogramming the EEPROM.
Contacts on the circuit module provide direct connection to the cell (J1-1, J2-2), and the serialcommunications port (J1-3). The system load and charger connect across J1-1 and J2-1.
