STMicroelectronics L9962 Battery Management System Solution

STMicroelectronics L9962 Battery Management System Solution is part of a complete battery pack balancing, monitoring, and protection system for Li-Ion and Li-Polymer cells in 4-10 series configurations. The L9962 uses a high-precision ADC to provide stack voltage, cell voltage, and temperature conversion via an external NTC. The device cyclically performs voltage monitoring functions with a programmable loop time. A high-accuracy CSA also monitors stack current, running continuously to perform Coulomb counting. Cell balancing is available and can be activated simultaneously across all cells. An I2C peripheral performs IC configuration and information exchange for SOC/SOH estimation. The IC also integrates a dual pre-driver programmable in both HS/LS configurations for driving pack relays.

The STMicroelectronics L9962 also implements battery pack fuse protection to prevent fire and explosion hazards. A 3.3V regulator with high current capability is available to supply the pack controller and other external circuitry in both normal and standby operation modes. The IC protects the battery pack against over- and undervoltage conditions and monitors for over- and undertemperature conditions. It also features protection against overcurrent (in both directions) and short-circuit during discharge events. Safety-relevant configurations can be stored in the internal NVM to avoid re-programming the device at each wake-up.
