Cell Voltage Monitoring
The TI bq76PL455A-Q1 integrated balancing solution supports high-accuracy, high-speed cell voltage
measurement. The whole measurement subsystem is designed for high-accuracy measurements while
providing low-power operation. The cell monitoring block utilizes a high-voltage, high-accuracy AFE and a
14-bit ADC. The bq76PL455A-Q1 is capable of monitoring up to 16 cells from a minimum stack voltage of
16 V up to a maximum stack voltage of 79.2 V. Each channel is capable of measuring cell voltage over an
operating range of 1 V to 5 V.
The bq76PL455A-Q1 can be programmed to sample any combination of its selected channels in
descending order, with sampling times between 4.13
μ
s and 1000.08
μ
s. To reduce noise on
measurements, set the bq76PL455A-Q1 to oversample up to 32 times and respond back with the average
sampled value from each channel during the averaging. Using the PC GUI, set the bq76PL455EVM to
continuously poll the programmed channels at various rates, depending on the averaging period selected.
Whenever user-specified under- or over-voltage thresholds are exceeded by measured cell voltages, fault
register bits are set indicating one or more faults. Active faults can be selectively programmed to trigger
the bq76PL455A-Q1 FAULT output pin, if a limit is exceeded.
