Reference design for 6-Cell EV/HEV integrated battery monitor
TI's TIDA-00821 reference design is a stackable monitor and protector for use in large format Lithium-ion batteries that provides monitoring, balancing, and communications. Each bq76PL536A-Q1 EVM can manage 3 to 6 cells for Li-ion battery applications. Up to 32 bq76PL536A-Q1 EVM modules can be stacked.
The system provides fast cell balancing, diagnostics, and module to controller communication. Independent protection circuitry is also integrated.
Features
- Highly accurate monitoring and protection
- Engineered for high system robustness
- 1-Mb/s stackable vertical interface
- Built in comparator for secondary OV, UV and OT protector
- Cell balancing control output with safety timeout
