ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
Datasheet
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC1956 IC is a dual-channel analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an embedded microcontroller
for battery sensing/management in automotive,
industrial, and medical systems.
•
Integrated, precision measurement solution for
accurate prediction of battery state of health
(SOH), state of charge (SOC) or state of function
(SOF)

Flexible wake-up modes allow minimum power
consumption without sacrificing performance
One of the two input channels measures the battery
current IBAT via the voltage drop at the external
shunt resistor. The second input channel measures
the battery voltage VBAT and the temperature. An
integrated flash memory is provided for customer-
specific software; e.g., dedicated algorithms for
calculating the battery state.
No temperature calibration or external trimming
components required
Optimized code density through small instruction
set architecture Thumb®-2 *
Robust power-on-reset (POR) concept for harsh
automotive environments
During Sleep Mode (e.g., engine is off), the system
makes periodic measurements to monitor the dis-
charge of the battery. Measurement cycles are
controlled by the software and include various wake-
up conditions. The ZSSC1956 is optimized for ultra-
low power consumption and draws only 100µA or
less in Low-Power Mode.
Industry’s smallest footprint allows minimal
module size and cost
AEC-Q100 qualified solution
