Functional Description
The integrated cell balancing contains FETs for up to 20 battery cells. Cell balancing can be performed
through firmware programming. Each of the battery cell voltages from the VB[1..20] pins are available for
sampling from the 16-bit ADC.
Adjacent cells should not be balanced at the same time. In the event that too many cells are being
balanced at the same time and Thermal protection occurs, then the cell balancing will be shut down first.
Only enabled cells can be balanced. Each independent cell can be enabled by setting their respective
CENx enable bit. This can be accomplished by writing to the SOC.CELLEN1.CENx,
SOC.CELLEN2.CENx and SOC.CELLEN3.CENx registers.
To start the cell balancing process, simply set the respective VBx cell balancing enable bit. This can be
accomplished by writing to the SOC.CFGCB1, SOC.CFGCB2 and SOC.CFGCB3 registers.
