BQ24295EVM-549: interface used

Part Number: BQ24295EVM-549
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24295

Hello team,

for my customer's project, they are testing the BQ24295EVM-549 but wanted to use the EVM independently: can they use the EVM without the USB-TO-GPIO interface?

Please let me know.

Thanks and best regards,

Adrian

  • Hi,
    BQ24295 has default mode, please reference datasheet page22.
    As I know, This part can automatically enable with default mode setting and without USB-TO-GPIO interface communication.
    Thanks
  • Hi Paul,

    do you refer to paragraph 8.3.3.1 Autonomous Charging Cycle on pag 22? I'm asking since on the EVM user's guide it reports "The bq24295EVM doesn’t include the USB-to-GPIO interface board. To evaluate the bq24295EVM, theUSB-to-GPIO interface board must be ordered separately."

    Thanks and best regards,
    Adrian
  • Hi

    If you want to fully evaluate BQ24295 EVM board functions then you need to use USB-to_GPIO interface board otherwise BQ24295 only operate in default mode as we mentioned on page22-default setting.   And due to USB-to-GPIO interface board is not package in BQ24295EVM, so if you want doing fully evaluation, please order separately.

    Thanks
