High serial cell count battery (>15s) systems are becoming more and more common for industrial applications. These applications are cost sensitive and require a simple solution that includes monitoring, protection, and control or even SOC (State of Charge) information rather than only basic independent hardware protection. This design offers a platform for the complete pack side solution. All independent hardware protection features are incorporated from the bq76930 and a robust communication interface is implemented for host device to read the battery information.
Features
Supports 16-Series to 20-series cell application
All independent hardware protecting function inherited from bq76930
Charger insertion detectable
Load removal detectable
Isolated differentiated CAN PHY for communication with host system
Supports up to 128k baud rate UART communication with external host
