Data Acquisition System for High-Voltage Battery Modules with 12-Bit SAR ADC
The MAX17823H from Maxim Integrated is a data acquisition system for managing high-voltage battery modules. With a 12-bit SAR ADC, MAX17823H can measure 12 cell voltages and two temperatures in 161µs. It features 12 internal switches for cell-balancing and has extensive built-in diagnostics. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained to manage 384 cells and monitor 64 temperatures.
Applications for MAX17823H include battery-backup systems, battery-powered tools, electric bikes, EVs, high voltage battery stacks, supercapacitor systems, and related resources.
MAX17823H operates from 9V to 65V. It features an AECQ-100 Grade 2 temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
Cell voltages of 0V to 5V are measured differentially over a 65V common-mode range. Cell measurements have a typical accuracy of 2mV (3.6V cell, 25°C). If oversampling is enabled, up to 128 measurements per channel can be averaged internally with 14-bit resolution.
It can sense thermal overload by measuring its die temperature, and then shut itself down. With ultra-low power operation, it uses 2mA in standby mode and 2µA in shutdown mode.
MAX17823H features built-in diagnostics to support ASIL-D and FMEA requirements.
The system uses the company's battery-management UART protocol for robust communications, and when used in conjunction with the MAX17880 12-channel battery monitor, it is suitable for automotive battery-management systems that require a high safety-integrity level.
