The BQ34Z110EVM is an evaluation module for BQ34Z110 device. The BQ34Z110 is a fuel gauge solution that works independently of battery series cell configurations. Batteries from 4V to 64V can be supported through an external voltage translation circuit that can be controlled automatically to reduce system power consumption. The BQ34Z110 device provides several interface options, including an I2C slave, an HDQ slave, one or four direct LEDs and an alert output pin. Additionally, the BQ34Z110 provides support for an external port expander for more than four LEDs.

This device has limited built in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
Applying a voltage higher than 5V when jumpers are configured for <= 5V operation is very likely to damage the IC.
