INTRODUCTION
The DS2720K evaluation kit makes performance evaluation, software development, and prototyping with the DS2720 Li+ battery protector easy. The evaluation board interfaces to an IBM-compatible PC through a DS9123 serial port adapter and RJ-11 cable connection. The provided CD-ROM contains all related data sheets along with the evaluation software, which can be run under any Windows environment. The DS2720K evaluation software gives the user complete control of all functions of the DS2720. Separate control tabs allow the user access to all EEPROM memory and register locations.
