ISL94212
Multi-Cell Li-Ion Battery Manager
FN7938
Rev 1.00
April 23, 2015
The ISL94212 Li-ion battery manager IC supervises up to 12
series connected cells. The part provides accurate monitoring,
cell balancing and extensive system diagnostics functions.
Three cell balancing modes are provided: Manual Balancing
mode, Timed Balancing mode and Auto Balance mode. The
Auto Balance mode terminates balancing functions when a
charge transfer value has been met.
Features
• Up to 12-cell voltage monitors, support Li-Ion CoO , Li-ion
2
Mn O , and Li-ion FePO4 chemistries

• Cell voltage measurement accuracy ±10mV
• 13-bit cell voltage measurement
• Pack voltage measurement accuracy ±180mV
• 14-bit pack voltage and temperature measurements
The ISL94212 communicates to a host microcontroller via an
SPI interface and to other ISL94212 devices using a robust,
proprietary, two-wire Daisy Chain system.
• Cell voltage scan rate of 19.5µs per cell (234µs to scan
12 cells)
The ISL94212 is offered in a 64 Ld TQFP package and is
specified for an operational temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.
• Internal temperature monitoring
• Up to four external temperature inputs
• Robust daisy chain communications system
• Integrated system diagnostics for all key internal functions
• Hardwired and communications based fault notification
Applications
• Light electric vehicle (LEV); E-Moto; E-Bike
• Battery backup systems; Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
• Solar Farms
• Integrated watchdog shuts down device if communication is
lost
• Portable and semi-portable equipment
• 7µA shutdown current: Enable = V
• 2Mbps SPI
