Renesas Electronics RAA489204 Industrial Grade Li-ion Battery Manager IC supervises up to 14 series-connected cells and is optimized to meet stringent Industrial performance, reliability, and safety requirements. The device provides all the functions expected of such a critical component in a battery management system, such as accurate cell voltage and temperature monitoring, cell balancing, and extensive system diagnostics.
In a typical configuration, a Master RAA489204 communicates to a host microcontroller through an SPI port and up to 29 additional RAA489204 devices connected by a robust, proprietary, two-wire Daisy Chain. This communication system is highly flexible and can be implemented with capacitor isolation, transformer isolation, or a combination of both.
Three cell balancing modes are included (Manual Balance mode, Timed Balance mode, and Auto Balance mode). Auto Balance mode terminates balancing after a host-specified amount of charge has been removed from every cell. The Renesas Electronics RAA489204 is packaged in a 64 pin TQFP and is specified for operation from -40ºC to +85ºC.
