CEDV Li-Ion Gas Gauge and Battery Management Controller
The Texas Instruments BQ78350-R1A Li-ion and LiFePO4 Battery Management Controller and companion to the BQ769x0 family of analog front end (AFE) protection devices provides a comprehensive set of Battery Management System (BMS) subsystems, helping to accelerate product development for faster time-to-market.
The BQ78350-R1A controller and the BQ769x0 AFE support 3-series to 15-series cell applications. The BQ78350-R1A device provides an accurate fuel gauge and state-of-health (SoH) monitor, as well as cell balancing and a full range of voltage-, current-, and temperature-based protection features.
Targeted Applications
- Light electric vehicles: ebikes, escooters, pedelec, and pedal-assist bicycles
- Power and gardening tools
- Battery backup and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
- Wireless base station backup systems
- Telecom power systems
- Handheld vacuum cleaners and robot vacuums
BQ78350-R1A
The BQ78350-R1A device offers optional LED or LCD display configurations for capacity reporting. It also makes data available over its SMBus 1.1 interface. Battery history and diagnostic data is also kept within the device in non-volatile memory and is available over the same interface.
