Part Number: BQ76942 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-010247 Hi,
According to TIDA-010247 ref design REGIN input received voltage from B+ (the topmost battery) through transistor-based voltage converter circuit.
Why not to take voltage from betwee…
Hello Shyama, The Cell1() behavior only occurs during SLEEP mode. Please share the whole schematic. Have you referenced to the TIDA-010247 reference schematic? They showcase a Zener and a Schottky diode in Cell0. The Zener protects the pin from high voltages…
Part Number: BQ76952 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-010247 Dear TI team,
I am designing 24S BMS using your reference design TIDA-010247, I don't want to use the LD pin circuit mentioned in your design ref some requirement issue.
So can tie the…
Part Number: BQ76952 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-010247 Hello,
We are using stacked bq76952 configuration as per TIDA-010247 reference design. Up until now we've been balancing alternate cells, recently we decided to use the adjacent cell balancing…
Part Number: LM5163 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76952 , TIDA-010247 Hello everyone! We have developed a BMS with 2 BQ76952 ICs, using the TIDA-010247 reference design. We are using LM5163 IC as a buck converter for the supply. We have observed that…
Hi Statham,
See this application report for using separate charge and discharge paths with the BQ769x2 family: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua952/slua952.pdf
It looks like they are trying to stack 2 devices in the schematic? This is very challenging. There…
Hi KT,
BQ79600 is only compatible with battery monitors from the BQ79616-Q1 family.
Are you needing to stack multiple battery monitors for your application? If so, the BQ76940 might not be the best choice for this specific application - many users stack…
Yes, we do!
Currently, TI has a technical article for stacking BQ769x2 devices with low-side FETs and a reference design for stacking BQ769x2 devices with high-side FETs. These stacking configurations can be used to achieve higher cell count BMS solutions…
Hello Harry, A major issue I see in the schematic is the Cell Connections. The BQ76952 supports random cell connection, but there are some restrictions. Pins VC0, VC1, VC2, VC15 , and VC16 require a real cell attached. More of this HERE
The VC16 input does…
