PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ78350-R1A Battery Management Controller companion to the BQ769x0 family of battery monitoring AFEs enables many standard and enhanced battery management features in a 3-series to 15-series li-ion/li-polymer battery pack.
To design and implement a complete solution, users need the Battery Management Studio (BQSTUDIO) tool to configure a "golden image" set of parameters for a specific battery pack and application. The BQSTUDIO tool is a graphical user-interface tool installed on a PC during development. The firmware installed in the product has default values, which are summarized in the BQ78350-R1A Technical Reference Manual(SLUUBD3). With the BQSTUDIO tool, users can change these default values to cater to specific application requirements. Once the system parameters are known (for example, fault trigger thresholds for protection, enable/disable of certain features for operation, configuration of cells, among others), the data can be saved. This data is referred to as the "golden image.”
