Hi, TI expert.
A customer has an inquiry about recommending a BMS solution (10s ~ 20s design possible)
[Application]
1) 14s and 20s BMS solution for battery pack 2~4KWh design for e-motor bike
2) CAN IF to communicate with MCU for e-motor bike must be supported.
Please recommend a suitable solution.
Thank you.
Hi Grady,
What is the battery chemistry? Will the input be USB?
Thanks,
Chloe
Hi, Chloe
I will answer as below
1. What is the battery chemistry?
→ Li-on battery
2. Will the input be USB?
→ Not USB. It use a large-capacity battery charging terminal.
Use decicated CCCV charger, ex) voltage 48V,72V class, current min ~ current max 1C charge
Please check. Thank you.
Hi Grady,
We currently do not have any charger ICs that can support 14S or 20S li-ion batteries. However, we will release a device BQ25756 in 3Q that can support 14S li-ion.
Best regards,
Chloe
Hi, Chloe
I have an additional question regarding the BMS solution recommendation inquiry that I inquired above.
Below are some of the TI data found by customers in the past.
( 14S )
( 20S )
Here, the 2 parts are still confirmed as Active.
Q1) Can you confirm whether development review is possible by applying the part below?
- 14S: 48V, BQ79614
- 20S: 72V, BQ79652 + BQ79612 + BQ79600
[application]
- 14S, 20S BMS solutions for designing 2~4KWh battery packs for electric bicycles
- CAN IF must be supported to communicate with the EV MCU.
- Lithium battery
- Input: Large-capacity battery charging terminal.
Please check. Thank you.
HI Grady,
Yes, you are correct. Both 14S and 20S will work with the configuration above for battery monitoring and protection.

Hi, Arelis G. Guerrero
These are the two TI Seminar-based introductory materials that you mentioned in your question above that you said were available.
BMS solutions for 48-V and 400-V/800-V EV/HEV batteries
The customer has further inquiries.
For further inquiries, I checked on TI.com and found TIDA-01093 (Industrial Battery Management Module for 20S Applications Reference Design).
The customer asks if it is possible to proceed with development with TIDA-01093 data.
TIDA-01093 reference design | TI.com
Q1) Is it possible to develop 20S with the configuration below?
- Configuration: BQ76930x2 + ISO1541 + MSP430G2955 + ISO1050 CAN TRx
[application]
- 20S BMS solutions for designing 2~4KWh battery packs for electric bicycles
- CAN IF must be supported to communicate with the EV MCU.
-Lithium battery
- Input: Large-capacity battery charging terminal.
Q2) Where can I get purchase information and support SW for a demo board with this configuration?
Please check. Thank you.
Hi Grady,
Q1) Yes, you can develop the 20S configuration following the TIDA-01093. All design files are available for download https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-0109.
Q2) This TIDA is not an orderable part number, design files are available so the customer can build the board if needed, or use it as a starting guide for their application design. For evaluating the BQ76930 device, you can order BQ76930EVM https://www.ti.com/tool/BQ76940EVM and download the evaluation software. You can also find more design resources and some sample code on the product page https://www.ti.com/product/BQ76940

Hi, Arelis G. Guerrero
The link given above https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-0109 does not open. www.ti.com/.../TIDA-01093 Is it a typo?
BQ76930 (6 to 10-series cell), BQ76940 (9 to 15-series cell) are listed in the datasheet. Is it correct that 20 series Cell is possible with this part?
Please check. Thank you.
Hi Grady,
Yes, apologize it is a typo. It should be https://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-01093
Yes, as you are stacking 2x BQ76930 (2x 10-series cell), that'll give you the 20-series cells needed. You can also do a BQ76940 in a 10-s configuration.
