Texas Instruments presents a system example for an active cell balancing battery management system. The TMS570LS0432 microcontroller commands EMB1402 EVM to monitor the battery cells and perform charge/discharge from one battery cell to an external 12V supply. The user can view the cell status and control cell balancing from a GUI running on the host PC.

Texas Instruments' reference design is an automotive, 400W, phase-shifted full-bridge converter which generates the 12V output from a 48V car battery. The enhanced phaseshifted full-bridge controller implements programmable delays which ensure zero voltage switching (ZVS) over a wide range of operating conditions. The output implements synchronous rectification, which enables fast transient response and a high loop bandwidth.

TI’s mmWave Sensors provide a number of unique benefits for applications to locate, track, and count people.

Today's automotive power consumtion is 3KW, which will increase to 10KW in next 5 years and 12V batttary is unable to provide that much power. 48-12V bi-directional convertor provides high power requirement solution with two phases each capable of running 28A.  This solution allows bidirectional current control of both phases using a C2000 control stick and firmware OCP & OVP. 

The TIDA-01168 reference design is a four-phase, bidirectional DC-DC converter development platform for 12-V/48-V automotive systems. The system uses two LM5170-Q1 current controllers and a TMS320F28027F microcontroller (MCU) for the power stage control. LM5170-Q1 subsystems use average current feedback for current control whereas the C2000 microcontroller provides voltage feedback.

The DC/DC converter provides transfer of energy between the higher voltage battery and the lower voltage (typically 12V) systems. The higher voltage system supplies large loads such as traction motor, air-conditioning and starters, where as lower power components such as infotainment and safety systems will remain on 12V supplies.
