Texas Instruments bq4050EVM-561 Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments bq4050EVM-561 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq4050. The evaluation module includes one bq4050 circuit module with an external sense resistor. A separated orderable EV2300 or EV2400 PC interface board for gas gauge along with a PC USB cable and Windows™-based PC software is needed when using this evaluation module. With the EV2300 or EV2400 interface board and software, the user can perform four different tasks. The user can read the Texas Instruments bq4050 data registers and program the chipset for various configurations. The user can also log cycling data for further evaluation and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq4050 solution under different charge and discharge conditions.
