ZHCSTD7A December 2021 – November 2023 BQ79631-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
HV sensing devices such as the BQ79631-Q1 are generally powered by an isolated power supply to ensure that a device failure does not propagate the high voltage into the low voltage domain. Typical isolated power is generated using a simple push-pull switching technique using a transformer as shown in Figure 10-1. The input to the SN6505 is 5 V. This along with the turns ratio of the transformer provides a 12-V isolated supply to the BQ79631-Q1. The output has filters to smooth out the rectified waveform from the transformer and diodes. There is also a zener present to clamp any overvoltage events.
