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 disables and resets the device. Connect the
jumper across positions 4-3 or 2-1 to enable the
device. Alternatively, the jumper 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 - BQ27Z558 Pulse Pull-up (PULS): This
jumper applies a 10k pullup to J13 on the PULS pin
of the BQ27Z558.
- J7 - BQ27Z558 Interrupt Pull-up (INT):
This jumper applies a 10k pullup to J13 on the INT
pin of the BQ27Z558.
- 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 - BQ27Z558 VDD Connection: This jumper
ties the BQ27Z558 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 - BQ27Z558 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 EXT_VCC is
connected to the EV2400.
