bq40z80EVM Li-Ion Battery Pack Manager Evaluation: User's Guide
This evaluation module (EVM) is a complete evaluation system for the bq40z80 battery management
system. The EVM includes one bq40z80, two bq771807 secondary protectors, and a link to Microsoft®
Windows® based PC software. The circuit module includes one bq40z80 integrated circuit (IC), two
bq771807 secondary protectors, and all other onboard components necessary to monitor and predict
capacity, perform cell balancing, monitor critical parameters, protect the cells from overcharge, over-
discharge, short-circuit, and overcurrent in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-series cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery
packs. The circuit module connects directly across the cells in a battery. The bq40z80EVM can use the
on-board EV2400 or an external EV2400 interface board and software to read the bq40z80 data registers,
program the chipset for different pack configurations, log cycling data for further evaluation, and evaluate
the overall functionality of the solution under different charge and discharge conditions.

Figure 1. bq40z80 Circuit Module Connection to Cells and System Load or Charger
• Direct connection to the cells: 1N (BAT–), 1P, 2P, 3P, 4P, 5P, 6P, 7P (BAT+)
Attach the cells to the J12 terminal block. A specific cell connection sequence is not required; although,
it is good practice to start with lowest cell in the stack (cell 1), then attach cells 2 through 7 in
sequence. The U1 and U2 devices should not be damaged by other cell connection sequences, but
there is a possibility that the bq771807 could blow the fuse. Attaching cells starting with cell 1 should
eliminate this risk. A short should be placed across unused voltage sense inputs up to 7P.

A resistor cell simulator can be used instead of battery cells. Connect a resistor between each of the
contacts on the J12 connector. For example, from 1N to 1P, from 1P to 2P, and so forth, until the
desired number of cells has been achieved. A power supply can provide power to the cell simulator.
Set the power supply to the desired cell voltage × the number of cells and attach the ground wire to 1N
and the positive wire to 4P. For example, for a 6S configuration with a 3.6-V cell voltage, set the power
supply to 6 × 3.6 = 21.6 V.
• Serial communications port (SMBC, SMBD)
If the external EV2400 is used, attach the communications interface adapter cable to J19 and to the
SMB port on the EV2400. The jumper settings for J18 should be to connect pins 2 and 3, and the
jumper settings for J should be to connect pins 1 and 2. This allows the external EV2400 to talk to the
bq40z80 over SMBus.
Alternately, the on-board EV2400 can be used by connecting a micro-USB cable to the EVM at J
directly to a computer. To use the on-board EV2400, the jumper settings for J18 should be to connect
pins 1 and 2, and the jumper settings for J should be to connect pins 2 and 3. This allows the on-board
EV2400 to talk to the bq40z80 over SMBus.
• System load and charger connections across PACK+ and PACK–
Attach the load or power supply to the J terminal block. The positive load or power supply wire should
be connected to at least one of the first two terminal block positions labeled PACK+. The ground wire
for the load or power supply should be connected to the last terminal block positions labeled PACK–.
• System-present pin (SYS PRES)
To start charge or discharge test, connect the SYS PRES position on the J terminal block to PACK–.
The SYS PRES can be left open if the non-removable (NR) bit is set to 1 in the Pack Configuration A
register. To test sleep mode, disconnect the SYS PRES pin.
• Wake-up the device up from shutdown (WAKE)
Press the Wake pushbutton switch (S1) to temporarily connect Bat+ to Pack+. This applies voltage to
the PACK pin on the bq40z80 to power-up the regulators and start the initialization sequence.
• Parameter setup
The default data flash settings configure the device for 7-series Li-Ion cells. The user should change
the | Data Flash | Settings | DA Configuration register to set up the number of series cells to match the
physical pack configuration. This provides basic functionality to the setup. Other data flash parameters
should also be updated to fine tune the gauge to the pack. See the bq40z80 TRM for help with setting
the parameters.

The Battery Management Studio program provides a logging function which logs the values that are
selected by the Log check boxes located beside each parameter in the Register section. To enable this
function, select the Log button; this causes the Scan button to be selected. When logging is stopped, the
Scan button is still selected and has to be manually deselected.
The Log Interval can be set by opening a Watch tab, and using the pull-down at the far right to select the
desired Log Interval in milli-seconds.

4.1 Pre-Charge
The EVM provides a power resistor and FET to support a reduced current pre-charge path to charge the
pack when cell voltages are below the pre-charge voltage threshold. This reduces heating that could lead
to cell damage or reduced operating lifetime. For a 7-series cell application, the FET must be rated above
the max voltage, and for this reason the CSD18504Q5A was chosen. The TI CSD18504Q5A is a 50A, 40-
V device with Rds(on) of 5.3 mΩ when the gate drive voltage is 10 V. The user can change R1 to setup the
pre-charge current to a different value. R1 is calculated to limit the precharge current to the desired rate.
Be sure to account for the power dissipation of the series resistor. The pre-charge current is limited to
(VCHARGER – VBAT)/R1 and maximum power dissipation is (Vcharger – Vbat)2/R1.
4.2 Pre-Discharge
The EVM provides a pre-discharge FET (Q5) and control options through jumpers to enable a pin to
function as PDSG to turn the FET on and off. The pre-discharge FET is used in applications where there
is a need to soft-start into a large capacitive load, such as a starter cap for a motor, in order to reduce the
instantaneous load current. The pre-discharge FET will slowly charge the cap based on voltage or time.
