Description
The ISL94212 is a Multi-cell Li-ion battery manager IC that supervises up to 12 series connected cells. The part performs accurate monitoring, cell balancing and extensive system diagnostics functions. Three cell balancing modes are provided: manual mode, timed mode and an auto-balance mode which terminates balancing functions when a (host microcontroller specified) charge transfer value has been met.
The ISL94212 communicates to a host microcontroller via an SPI interface and to other ISL94212s using a robust, proprietary, two-wire Daisy Chain system.
The ISL94212 is offered in a 64 Ld TQFP package and is specified over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Applications
- Hybrid, electric vehicle battery packs
- Battery backup systems
- E-Moto; E-Bike
