Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50, BQ24725A, BQSTUDIO, EV2400
Hi guys, I have been reading about the TI battery charge and management ICs and so far things aren't very clear.
For now, it seems to me that the natural development path is to buy development boards:
- One for the battery manager IC, in this case BQ40Z50
- One for the battery charger, so far I believe that the BQ24725A will do the job
- And, a SMbus-USB converter
However, this would cost a little too much and would add one more step to reach a final solution. Actually I am thinking about projecting my own board, with those two IC plus a designed Booster and try each circuit independently.
The problem is that I am not sure whether is possible (and feasible) to configure both BQs without BQstudio?
Is it possible?
Thank you guys,
Regards, Felipe.
