PRODUCTION DATA
The device supports bus bar measurement in two types of connections:
A total of three bus bars can be connected to a single device, one through BBP/N pins and two through VC channels. Table 9-32 shows the difference between the two connection methods. Details are described in the later subsections.
Supporting Feature/ Limitation | Bus Bar Connected Across BBP/BBN Pins | Bus Bar Connected Individually Across VC Pins |
---|---|---|
Number of bus bar can be connected per device | 1 | 2 |
Connection channel | Can be connected to any channel but the bottom one | Can be connected to any channel but the bottom one |
Bus bar measurement | Yes, result is output to BUSBAR_HI/LO registers | Yes, result is output to VCELLx_HI/LO registers, where x is the VC channel the bus bar is connected to |
Integrated filters to bus bar measurement | Yes, same front end filters as the regular cell channels and post ADC digital LPF. BBP/N channel is x5 gain with ±1-V input range. Dedicated digital LPF setting separated from the LPF setting used for cell voltage measurements. | Yes, same front end filters as the regular cell channels and post ADC digital LPF. Use the same cell voltage LPF setting for bus bar measurement. |
Host requires to adjust cell measurement adjustment | Yes, a cell + bus bar are sharing a single VC channel using this method. Host needs to separate out the bus bar measurement to obtain the actual cell measurement on the shared channel. | No, cell and bus bar are connected to their own VC channels and measurements are reported separately |
Cell balancing limitation | No CB limitation, but host turns on adjacent CBFETs when balancing a cell above the bus bar connected channel | No CB limitation but require to float the upper CB pin on the bus bar connected channel |
