Hello Folks,

We have made a custom board with BQ34Z100-R2 and BQ76942.

We are looking to connect it with BQStudio. Can we use EV2400 for this purpose?

Can you tell what will right way to do it and if there some special process we have to do to make EV2400 work with BQ34Z100-R2 and BQ76942 and communicate with BqStudio.

In our case, both BQ34Z100-R2 and BQ76942 are on same I2C line.

Thanks

Hi,

The EV2400 will work for both the BQ34z100 and BQ76942. However, if you want to have both open on bqstudio at the same time, you will need 2 ev2400s and 2 instances of bqstudio open at the same time. Both on the same I2C lines should not be a problem since they both have their own addresses.

Here's a reference design that may be helpful :) - -010030 reference design | TI.com
