3 Description

The BQ7965x-Q1 family of devices provides highaccuracy

cell voltage measurements for a minimum

of 6S to a maximum of 12S (BQ79652-Q1),

14S (BQ79654-Q1), or 16S (BQ79656-Q1) battery

modules in less than 200 μs while these devices also

support shunt-resistor current sense measurement.

The integrated front-end filters enable the system to

implement with simple, low voltage raring, differential

RC filters on the cell input channels. The integrated,

post-ADC, low-pass filters enable filtered, DC-like,

voltage measurements. This family of devices also

supports integrated current sensing capabilities with

option to synchronize with cell voltage measurements

for better state of charge (SOC) calculation. The

device supports autonomous internal cell balancing

with temperature monitoring to auto-pause and

resume balancing to avoid an overtemperature

condition.
