To program the EPROM of bq2026EVM, a 12-V pulse must be generated on the SDQ line. The
bq2026EVM board has an additional circuit included that permits generating this pulse when using a
power supply set to 12 V and the VOUT output of the EV2300. The evaluation software controls this pulse
for EPROM programming.
When programming the EPROM, it is expected that a 12-V supply be connected to the bq2026EVM board
at the 12-V input terminal of the bq2026EVM board. Ensure that the ground of the power supply is
connected to VSS of the board.
A jumper (J3) must be connected when using the EPROM programming circuit.
7.2.1 Normal Operation
Normal operation includes performing any of the ROM commands, reading the 1.5K-bit EPROM and
reading the EPROM Status Memory.
7.2.2 EPROM Programming
To program EPROM registers, a 12-V pulse must be sent across the SDQ line during a write command.
See the bq2026 data sheet (SLUS938) for a specific description of EPROM programming requirements.
When programming EPROM registers, the following must be ensured:
• J3 jumper is connected.
• VOUT output of EV2300 is connected to PROG input of bq2026EVM board.
• Power supply set to 12 V is connected across the 12-V and VSS inputs of bq2026EVM board.
