Overview

This reference design is a central controller for a high-voltage Lithium-ion (Li-ion), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery rack. This design provides driving circuits for high-voltage relay, communication interfaces, (including RS-485, controller area network (CAN), daisy chain, and Ethernet), an expandable interface to humidity sensor, high-voltage analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and current sensor.

This design uses a high-performance microcontroller to develop and test applications. These features make this reference design applicable for a central controller of high-capacity battery rack applications.

Features
  • Interface complies with Sitara MCU controlCARD                                            
  • Full communication interface including isolated CAN, RS-485, and Ethernet                                            
  • Robust drive channels for relay coils                                            
  • Robust daisy-chain communication channels                                            
  • Comprehensive interface with humidity sensor, real-time clock, watchdog, and high voltage ADC
