Figure 3-17 shows the system diagram.
The design uses the TMDSCNCD263 as a general-purpose MCU to operate and test all the functions including the power rail monitor, wakeup, relay switch, watchdog (WTD), real-time clock (RTC), humidity sensor, isolated CAN, isolated RS-485, Ethernet, and daisy chain communication.
The design uses the LMR51440 buck converter to convert the 24-V to 5-V power rail to supply the TMDSCNCD263, isolated power module UCC12050, and transformer driver SN6505B with a maximum 4-A capacity. A wakeup trigger circuit is designed to enable the LMR51440 from shutdown mode. The BQ79600 is supplied from TPS7A1601 in 12 V to support the reverse wakeup. The TPS7B8813 is used to convert the 5-V to 3.3-V power rail for VIO and power supply of peripheral devices.
The design uses an I2C bus to connect peripheral devices including humidity sensor, RTC and optional isolated high-voltage ADC or current ADC. The HDC3020 is used to measure the humidity to assess the possibility of dew formation in an IP67 BESS container. The BQ32002 backed up with a coin cell battery is used to generate a local time to the MCU.
Basic insulation is required for CAN and RS-485. The UCC12050 and ISO1042 devices are used to implement the isolated CAN communication function. The SN6505B and ISO1410 devices are used to implement the isolated RS-485 communication function. The ISO1410 can support up to 500Kbps data rates.
The design uses TPS3823-33 for timing supervision with a watchdog time out of 1.6 s.
