Abstract

The BQ79616-Q1 provides high-accuracy cell voltage measurements for 6S to 16S battery modules in <200 µs. The integrated front end filters enable the system to implement simple, low-cost, differential RC filters on the cell input channels. The integrated, post-ADC, low-pass filters enable filtered, DC-like, voltage measurements for better SOC calculation. This device supports autonomous internal cell balancing with temperature monitoring to auto-pause and resume balancing to avoid an overtemperature condition.

The inclusion of the isolated, bidirectional, daisy chain ports supports both capacitor- and transformer-based isolation, allowing the use of the most effective components for centralized or distribution architectures commonly found in the xEV powertrain system. This device also includes eight GPIOs/auxiliary inputs that can be used for NTC thermistor measurements.
