------------- GENERAL SETTING--------------------------------
CELLSIC#
Selecting which Cells are used Bits 0-5 -> Cells 1-6
------------- TEMPERATURE SETTING----------------------------
RES_REF#
Value of the mounted reference resistor (default: 3300)
T_TLS
Temperature belonging to the first Value in the lookup
table (index 0, default: -20)
T_TLE
Temperature belonging to the last value in the lookup
table (default: 80)
T_TLSZ
Temperature step size used in the lookup table (default:
1)
T_LOWERTHRESHOLD
Lower temperature threshold
T_UPPERTHRESHOLD
Upper temperature threshold
------------- COULOMBCOUNTER SETTING-------------------------
SHUNT_RESISTANCE
Value of the shunt resistor in mOhm
RCC_CONVERSIONPERIOD
The cycle times for the Regular Current Check
0x00 - 256ms (default)
0x01 - 512ms
0x02 - 1s
0x11 - 2s
RCC_DIVIDEDSZ
0x01 to enable divided Voltage (Current) stepsize
RCC_CHARGETHRESHOLD
Threshold for charging current, exceeding the
threshold will turn off the Mosfets
RCC_DISCHARGETHRESHOLD
Threshold for discharging current, exceeding the
threshold will turn off the Mosfets
Other values should not be changed in the default HW setup!
4.2
Open Cell Check
The implemented function checks for open clamps by measuring the cell voltages two times. During the first check a normal
measurement is completed and the values stored. During the second check the voltages are measured while the discharge
function for all cells is active. If the two measurements for the same cell differ by more than 100mV it is very likely that one or
more cells are not properly connected. The implemented method cannot be used to determine which cell is not properly
connected. A continuously illuminated LED1 indicates an open clamp.
4.3
Voltage Measurements
The standard software loop measures the voltage ADC value and the offset ADC value for every cell and checks for
overvoltage and undervoltage once per cycle. Further information about the acquiring of voltages can be found in the Atmel
