The EV2651-VT-00A is an evaluation board designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP2651, a buck-boost charger IC designed for battery packs with 1 cell to 4 cells in series. The device can accept a wide 4V to 22V input voltage (V_IN) range to charge the battery. It also supplies a wide 3V to 21V voltage range at the IN pin in source mode. This function is compliant with USB PD specifications.

When input power is present, the board charges the battery with a maximum 6A charge current. When source mode is enabled, the device has an output current (I_OUT) limit up to 6A.

With the I²C/SMBus interface, the MP2651 can flexibly configure the charge and discharge parameters. The I²C interface can also provide the device and fault statuses through the registers.
