The BQ25176J EVM contains the BQ25176J IC, LDO TPS7B8133 and support circuits needed operate the evaluation board. Only an external 5 V power supply is needed to power the EVM and charge a 1-cell battery. Charge Voltage VREG can be set to seven values using switch S1. Charge current is set by R22 (ISET) value from 60 mA to 750 mA. A fix value of 400 mA is selected by JP4.
LDO U2 (TPS7B8133) provides 3.3V for housekeeping voltage, powering LED and providing voltage for CE. The NTC is simulated by a 10k resistor and has the option to be adjusted by a trim pot.
