Hi Sir,
I have observed while doing continuous discharge test at higher current rating the internal die temperature of AFE is increasing gradually. As far as I know AFE internal die temperature increases while doing cell balancing but while doing Continuous as we are doing passive Cell balancing it should not increase right?
the rated of increase of Die temperature varies with increase in current.
Below I have shared data how it is increasing with discharge current
Time interval minutes | Pack Current | AFE Die Temp(°C) |
0 | 0 | 68.15 |
2 | -25A | 55.05 |
4 | -25A | 61.75 |
6 | -25A | 67.55 |
8 | -25A | 72.35 |
10 | -25A | 76.25 |
12 | -25A | 79.85 |
14 | -25A | 82.45 |
16 | -25A | 84.15 |
17 | -25A | 85.05 |
& then as we have put threshold of 85'C max so cut off happened & mosfets turned off as well as AFE stopped communicating with MCU.
REG18 1.8V is present but no communication is happening between AFE & MCU
