The MAX17852 is a flexible data-acquisition system for the management of high-voltage and low-voltage battery modules. The system can measure 14 cell voltages, one current measurement, and a combination of four temperatures or system voltages with fully redundant measurement engines in 263µs, or perform all inputs solely with the ADC measurement engine in 156µs. There are 14 internal switches rated for > 300mA for cell-balancing, each supporting extensive built-in diagnostics. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained to manage 448 cells and monitor 128 temperatures.
Cell and bus-bar voltages ranging from -2.5V to +5V are measured differentially over a 65V common-mode range, with a typical accuracy of 1mV (3.6V cell, +25°C). If oversampling is enabled, up to 128 measurements per channel can be averaged internally with 14-bit resolution and combined with digital post-processing IIR filtering for increased noise immunity. The system can shut itself down in the event of a thermal overload by measuring its own die temperature.
For robust communications, the system uses Analog Devices' battery- management UART or SPI protocol for robust communications and supports an I2C master interface for external device control, and is optimized to support a reduced feature set of internal diagnostics and rapid-alert communication through both embedded communication and hardware-alert interfaces to support ASIL D and FMEA requirements.
