Texas Instruments High-Performance Analog Evaluation and Demonstration Boards and Kits BQ24157EVM-697

The BQ24157EVM-697 is an evaluation module designed for the BQ24157 integrated circuit, which is a fully integrated, switch-mode battery charger for single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. This module supports USB compliance and USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality, making it suitable for a variety of portable applications. It features high-efficiency synchronous buck charging with integrated power MOSFETs, allowing for a charge rate of up to 1.55 A. The input voltage range is specified from 4 V to 6 V, and the module can be programmed for battery voltage, charge current, and input current via an I¬=C interface. Additionally, it includes LED indicators for status signals and test points for key signals, facilitating easy testing and integration into projects. The evaluation module is intended for engineers looking to prototype and evaluate battery management solutions in compact designs.
