The bq30z554-R1 device is a fully integrated Impedance Track gas gauge and analog monitoring single-package solution that provides protection and monitoring with authentication for 2-series, 3-series, and 4-series cell Li-Ion battery packs. The bq30z554-R1 device incorporates sophisticated algorithms that offer cell balancing while charging or at rest.
The device communicates via an SBS v1.1 interface, providing high accuracy cell parameter reporting and control of battery pack operation, and can be designed into systems that require AC peak power (TURBO mode), using a method to ensure that system performance is not disrupted.
An optimum balance of quick response hardware-based protection along with intelligent CPU control delivers an ideal pack solution. The device has flexible user-programmable settings of critical system parameters, such as voltage, current, temperature, and cell imbalance, among other conditions.
The bq30z554-R1 device has advanced charge algorithms, including JEITA support, enhanced cell charging, and adaptive charging compensating charge losses, enabling faster charging. In addition, the bq30z554-R1 device can monitor critical parameters over the life of the battery pack, tracking usage conditions.
A general purpose output is used for power interruption, employing an external push button switch.
The advanced snapshot and black box functionality show critical information for analysis of returned battery packs.
SHA-1 authentication with secure memory for authentication keys enables identification for genuine battery packs beyond doubt.

SDK, API, and Programmer installer
Quick Tips text document for Command line programmers
Software Manifest
Description:
BQ-BATTERY-PROGRAMMER-SW software development kit (SDK) is a collection of robust software command line tools that assist with the process of programming, testing, or assembling packs that use TI Battery management products. The executables in this software work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. The executables work with a single station but can be extended to multiple stations by using additional software and GUI from MKS Technology Inc. . Support for multiple stations is not included in this software.
There are multiple executables in the download, usually one per family of products. Older products such as BQ20xxx and BQ30xxx are also supported. Examples using the C++ programming language API and Python® programming language are provided for custom development.
Requirements:
Features:
Getting started:
1. Download the software
2. Run the installer
3. The executables, C API and Python API files can be found in the install location
4. Run the command line executable without arguments to get usage help. Refer to Readme.txt in the install folder for more information and how to get help using the command line.
Software installer to enable BQEVSW to use MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
Software manifest
Description:
BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQEVSW (bq Evaluation Software) and BQEASY (bq EV-Easy) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in software like BQEVSW and BQEASY from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300.
The program requires administrator privileges.
Requirements:
Features:
Getting started:
1. Download the software
2. Run the installer and check the option to create shortcuts
3. Run the program using shortcut named BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE from Start menu/Desktop
4. Allow administrator privilege when/if prompted
5. On the GUI window that opens, select the target transceiver to support and follow steps to switch
6. Connect matching transceiver and start BQEVSW, BQEASY or other similar software.
Note: BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE and BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE both update the same software components. Switching the USB transceiver using any of these shortcuts will also switch it in the other.
Software installer to enable BQMTESTER to use MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
Software manifest
Description:
BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQMTESTER(BQMTESTER Multi Channel Test and Program software) and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER(Advanced bqMTester Multi-Station Test and Program Software) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in BQMTESTER and ADVANCED-BQMTESTER software from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300. There are also some changes required on the hardware side as described in the PDF guide in the install folder.
