BQ25895EVM in TI BQ24xxx / BQ25xxx Battery Charge Family
The BQ25895EVM series from Texas Instruments represents a dedicated ecosystem of evaluation modules for the BQ25895 I2C-controlled single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery chargers. These modules showcase TI’s MaxCharge technology, designed for high-efficiency 5A switch-mode charging and system power path management. Primarily used by hardware engineers to validate fast-charging algorithms and power delivery in portable electronics, the EVM provides a complete reference circuit for testing input current limit, voltage regulation, and thermal performance under heavy loads.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The BQ25895EVM sub-family primarily focuses on the BQ25895EVM-664 configuration. While the underlying silicon architecture remains consistent across the BQ2589x line, variants typically differ in their I2C address defaults, specific input voltage ratings, or the inclusion of specific handshake protocols for proprietary fast-charge standards. The EVM hardware is designed to accommodate these subtle differences through jumper configurations and component swaps on the PCB.
