BQ24650EVM in TI BQ24xxx / BQ25xxx Battery Charge Family
The BQ24650EVM series from Texas Instruments provides evaluation platforms for the BQ24650, a highly integrated synchronous switch-mode battery charge controller designed for solar power applications. It provides high-accuracy current and voltage regulation, charge preconditioning, termination, and charge status monitoring. The module allows engineers to evaluate a complete solution for charging Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, LiFePO4, and Lead-Acid battery chemistries using Maximum Power Point Control for optimized solar efficiency.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the BQ24650EVM family, such as the EVM-639, are primarily distinguished by their default hardware configurations. While the underlying IC remains the BQ24650, different board revisions may come pre-populated with specific resistor and capacitor values optimized for a particular battery chemistry or cell count. Users typically modify these board-level components to adjust the MPPC voltage and charging current to match their specific solar panel and battery specifications.
