Renesas Electronics Battery Management System

Renesas Electronics Battery Management System is comprised of many functional blocks, including cutoff FETs, a fuel gauge monitor, a cell voltage monitor, a cell voltage balance, a real-time clock (RTC), temperature monitors, and a state machine. The grouping of the functional blocks varies widely from a simple analog front-end that offers balancing and monitoring and requires a microcontroller (MCU) to a standalone, highly integrated solution that runs autonomously.

This reference design employs an ISL94212 Li-ion battery manager IC, which manages up to 12 series of connected cells. The device produces accurate monitoring and three cell balancing modes – manual balancing mode, timed balancing, and auto balance mode with extensive system diagnostics functions. The BMS IC communicates to a host MCU via an SPI interface and to other BMS IC devices using a robust, proprietary, two-wire daisy chain system.

Features

  • Highly integrated MCU
  • Supports both standalone and daisy-chained configurations
  • GUI provided export option for generation of detailed register and/or SPI communications log files
