CN0510 User Guide:
Analog Devices Wiki
The CN0510 circuit is an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements system for characterizing Lithium Ion and other types of secondary batteries. EIS is a non-destructive perturbation technique used to examine processes occurring inside electrochemical systems. The system measures the impedance of the battery cell over a range of frequencies.

“There are two options for running battery impedance measurements on the EVAl-AD5941BATZ. The first is using SensorPal GUI tool. SensorPal provides an intuitive interface that allows the user to configure and update parameters such as frequency range and view measurement results in Nyquist form without needing to downlaod or use an IDE such as Keil. This option is best for rapid prototyping and measurement verification. The second option is to run the example projects in an IDE such as Keil to modify the low level embedded firmware. This options offers more control over the low level operation of the hardware but requires some knowledge of embedded C development”
- Connected the board (micro USB)
- Installed and launched SensorPal
- Clicked Update Firmware
- Connected to COM port
- Dragged-and-dropped Battery Impedance block
- Connected a 35E cell
Without changing anything (what happened?):
The cell was measured 21.3 mOhm @1kHz with the YR1035+ meter
⇒ 1kHz measurement seems very precise!
Sweep:
Starting from 100Hz:
On the Inspectrum.C, we have two default frequency tables:
Let’s try to measure a cell from 1Hz to 10kHz
The measurement is very long: ??????
Measure
Frequency is not specified in the CSV export though
⇒ Seems very comparable with the measurement from the Inspectrum.C
We will continue the tests here:
