The BQ25731EVM evaluation module (EVM) is an I2C controlled NVDC (narrow voltage DC) buck-boost charge controller with N-channel MOSFET selector and current monitoring. The input voltage range for the buck converter is between 3.5 V and 26 V, with a programmable output of 1 to 5 cells and a charge output current range of 128 mA to 15 A. This EVM doesn’t include the EV2400 interface device; this will have to be ordered separately to evaluate the BQ25731 EVM.
