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.
