Part Number: BQ76PL455A-Q1

Hi greeting:

We're under estimate a proposal for about 100-series 18350 battery which using in the racing cars used (or other electric vehicles)

Is that workable for using bq76pl455a-q1 for cell balancing? or any suggested solution & design for this kind application?

Hi Kay,

Yes, the pl455 is suitable for this application. Each device can monitor/passively balance up to 16 series cells, and each 16 cell "module" can be stacked up to 16 times. So 100S is within the limits of the pl455.

We have several good resources for the pl455:

www.ti.com/.../TIDA-00717
www.ti.com/.../technicaldocuments (the application notes are important to read - they will make life easier when using this part)

www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware (several reference designs available)
