1 Introduction
1.1 General Description
The bq24351 evaluation module (EVM) is a complete charger module for evaluating a charger front-end
protection and charger solution using the bq24351 and bq2057C devices. It is designed to deliver up to
560 mA of charge current to Li-ion or Li-polymer applications. The charger front-end protection current is
designed to 1.2 A.
The bq24351 protects the charging system against three types of failures: input overvoltage when the ac
adapter fails to regulate its voltage, load overcurrent when failures such as a short circuit occur in the
charging system, and battery overcharge.
For details, see the bq24351 data sheet (SLUSA62).
