BQ33100EVM-001: Fully Integrated, Single Chip, Super Capacitor Manager

The BQ33100EVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq33100 super capacitor manager. The EVM includes one bq33100 circuit module. An EV2400 PC interface board for gas gauge interface and a PC USB cable are required for communication with a PC and can be ordered online. Windows™-based PC software is available online as well.

The circuit module includes one bq33100 integrated circuit (IC), charging circuitry, and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict state of health, perform charging, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, and protect the super capacitors from overvoltage, short-circuit, and overtemperature in 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-series super capacitor stacks. The circuit module connects directly across the super capacitor stack. With the EV2400 interface board and software, the user can read the bq33100 data registers, program the chipset for different stack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate the overall functionality of the bq33100 under different conditions
