3 Description
BQ79612-Q1, BQ79614-Q1, BQ79616-Q1 and
BQ79616H-Q1 provide high-accuracy cell voltage
measurements in less than 200 μs for 12S, 14S
and 16S battery modules in high-voltage battery
management systems in HEV/EV. The family of
monitors offers different channel options in the same
package type, providing pin-to-pin compatibility and
supporting high reuse of the established software
and hardware across any platform. The integrated
front-end filters enable the system to implement
with simple, low voltage rating, differential RC
filters on the cell input channels. The integrated,
post-ADC, low-pass filters enable filtered, DC-like,
voltage measurements for better state of charge
(SOC) calculation. This device supports autonomous
internal cell balancing with temperature monitoring
to auto-pause and resume balancing to avoid an
overtemperature condition.
