The following section describes the critical
jumpers and their purpose on this board.
- J2 - Chip Enable (CE): This jumper allows the user to
connect the CE pin to ground, BAT_SNS, or directly to BAT+. Grounding or
floating the CE pin will disable and reset the device. Connect the jumper across
positions 4-3 or 2-1 to enable the device. Alternatively, it can be tied
directly to a host system for an additional low-power state, if needed.
- J11 - I2C Clock Pull-up (SCL): This jumper
applies a 10k pullup to J13 on the I2C communication line.
- J12 - I2C Data Pull-up (SDA): This jumper
applies a 10k pullup to J13 on the I2C communication line.
- J6 - BQ27Z561 Pulse Pull-up (PULS): This jumper applies
a 10k pullup to J13 on the PULS pin of the BQ27Z561.
- J7 - BQ27Z561 Interrupt Pull-up (INT): This jumper
applies a 10k pullup to J13 on the INT pin of the BQ27Z561.
- J9 & J10 - Sense Resistor:
These jumpers can be configured to use either a high-side or low-side sense
resistor. Set the shunt on J9 to position 2-3 and set the shunt on J10 to 1-2 to
use a low-side sense. Set the shunt on J9 to position 1-2 and set the shunt on
J10 to position 2-3 to use a high-side sense.
- J3 - BQ27Z561 VDD
Connection: This jumper ties the BQ27Z561 BAT pin to CELL+. This shunt
can be removed to allow the use of another instrument to monitor the current
consumption of the device under various operating conditions.
- J5 - BQ27Z561 TS
Connection: This jumper allows the use of the external RT1 thermistor.
Removing the shunt allows the use of either the internal temperature sense or an
external sense connected to pins 2-3 of J8.
- J13 - Pullup Level
Selector: This jumper allows the user to choose between using the SYS+
or external voltage as the pullup voltage. Set the shunt to position 1-2 to use
SYS+, and set the shunt to position 3-2 to use EXT_VCC. Use caution when
applying voltage to EXT_VCC as it is connected to the EV2400.
