| PS4200EV PS4200 Evaluation Kit INTRODUCTION The PS4200EV evaluation kit provides the opportunity to evaluate the PS402 IC quickly and easily. The evaluation kit contains all of the hardware and software necessary to implement a fully functional smart battery and demonstrate all operating modes. The included PS4200 module is a complete smart battery controller subsystem, based on the Microchip PS402 battery manager with patented Accuron technology. The module is designed to operate in a battery pack consisting of six 6 to ten 10 series connected Ni-based cells. The module consists of the Microchip PS402 battery manager IC, with a four LED SOC display and an optional connection for an external thermistor. The included PowerToolTM software can be used to modify the programming in the preprogrammed evaluation module. Although many interdependent parameters must be taken into account when programming the battery manager, the process is simplified with the PowerTool configuration wizard.
