5.4 Stacking BQ79616EVMs

Note: This section does not apply to BQ75614EVMs.

The BQ79616EVMs are connected using 4-position Molex connectors. There is a high side (J11) and low side (J10) communication connector available on each device. By default, the isolation filters for the vertical interface are set to cap only configuration. The user can change this by populating/depopulating components. For example, the user can depopulate resistors R69, R79, R72, and R74 to use the on board choke in series with the capacitors. There are also footprints to populate a transformer on the bottom of the PCB board. More details can be found in the schematic near the bottom of this user guide.
