Connection & Jumper Setting of bq34z100EVM

If you do not use the LEDs or ALERT function, then the J2 and J5 jumper blocks are the only ones that need to be configured. You would set the shunts in the >5V positions on J5 and the 32V position on J2. You do connect BAT+ and BAT- to the battery and BAT+ and PACK- to the load or charger. The computer should recognize the EV2300 after you connect the USB cable. You could try power cycling the computer.

Hi Thomas, thanks! I've succeed in connecting EVM with PC(means EVM connects charger, batteries, and connects EV2300,and EV2300 connected with PC, PC recognize the EVM)
For the next step, I need to configure the bq34z100-G1 via Battery Management Studio for the target batteries, right?
Then I'm kinda confused about the process, I've read two docs(one is bq34z100EVM Wide Range Impedance Track™ Enabled,Battery Fuel Gauge Solution User Guide---SLUU904A, the other one is bq34z100-G1 datasheet). Which document exactly I'm supposed to reference for configuring bq34z100-G1 for my target batteries?(something like first step is to set Number of Series Cells, and 2nd step is to calibrate the stack voltage blah,blah)
(P.S. the battery package I'm using is two Panasonic Lead Acid Battery, LC-R127R2, nominal voltage 12v)

There is a step-by-step design procedure in the datasheet. Have you tried to use it?

You mean the "9.2.2.1 Step-by-Step Design Procedure"? There are 8 steps starting from step1-Review and Modify the Data Flash Configuration Data to step8-Run an Optimization Cycle.
Could I say that as long as I finish these 8 steps, I have done the configuration for the target batteries?

It usually takes a couple of days, if things run smoothly.

Hi Tom, Here I got another question.
You know, in battery management studio, for the data flash, there are 4 parameters.
1. Numbers of series cells
2. Design Energy
3. Design Capacity
4. Cell Charge Voltage Tx-Ty
The batteries I’m using are two Panasonic LC-R127R2P1(12v for each one)

I wanna know that,
For ‘Number of series cells’ I should fill in 2(because I use 2 packages, 2 x 12V), or 6(because there are 6 cells in each package) ?
For Cell charge voltage Tx-Ty, I should fill in 14.7V or 2.45V?
For Design Energy, I should fill 7200mah x 12V = 86400 mwh or 7200mah x 2V = 14400 mwh?

Bob,

• The  LC-R127R2P1 is a PbA battery with six series cells, so the Number of Series cells will be set to 12.
• The capacity for the pack is defined at the 1S level, so the DesignCapacity is set to 7200mAh.
• the design energy for the device is defined at the 1S level, so the DesignEnergy = 7200 x 2 = 14400mWh.
• Cell Charge Voltage Tx-Ty is the charge voltage per cell. If you charge the pack to 14.7V, then set these parameters to 2450mV.

Tom

Hi Tom, great! Thx!
I've went through the "9.2.2.1 Step-by-Step Design Procedure" of bq34z100-g1 datasheet,and I've already setup the following:
Design Capacity=7200mah, Design Energy=14400mwh,
Cell Charge Voltage tx-ty=2280mv,
I don't care LED and alert configuration so I leave them unchanged,
Number of Series Cells = 12, enable VOLSET bit in Pack Config A,
CC Gain =10 mohm, CC Delta = 10 mohm,
Load Select = 1, Load mode = 0,
Cell Terminate Voltage = 1750mv, Quit Current = 40ma
I don't know what kind of data(or if there are still other data ) I have to modify according to the application(means what data is must for modification and what data is optional)
Or I can just move on to the calibration phase?
Another question is, for Chemistry ID, I find there is no model for my batteries in the list. So is there any guide from step by step to teach me how to generate a new chemistry ID?(I once tried to find a similar chemistry ID and wanna update it, but the GUI always pops up an error msg saying "Chemistry Programming Error: Packet Checksum Mismatch")

I would go ahead and calibrate the pack using the bqStudio program. You can use the GPCCHEM tool to try to find a ChemID match. Search for GPCCHEM on the TI website.
