LM5170-Q1: LM5170-Q1 Active Balancing

Part Number: LM5170-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi TI team, 

For my BQ79616-based BMSs, I would like to perform active balancing on a pack basis. To clarify, I would like to implement active balancing between packs consisting of 16 series.

During my research, I found the LM5170-Q1 EVM.

Is this the optimal choice?
If it is the right choice, would you kindly share the design files?

If this is not the appropriate choice, which method or integrated circuit would be more suitable?

Best regards,

  • Hi Yunus,

    I am not sure how are you using the LM5170-Q1.

    Maybe you can have a look at Buck Converter Design with LM5170-Q1 to Equalize Two serial 12-V Batteries in Commercial Vehicles.

    Best Regards,
