Good morning,
I'm designing a new BMS for a Li-ion multi-cells battery pack. I would like to use a dual n-channel MOSfet for braking the current flow both in charge and in discharge and I can use them on the negative path or positive path (with a proper gate driver).
So far I've used MOSfets in a common drain configuration because they are commonly used in such a protection circuits, but it is not clear to me wich are pros and cons of both commons drain and common source configurations:
Can anybody help me in understanding characteristichs and features of both configurations, in order to chose and test the best one for a BMS, please?
Thank you and best regards
Matteo
Hi Roger,
currently we are thinking to use this new BMS for several applications: ebikes, power toolings, small solar storage, ... The battery pack energy ranges from 500 to 3000Wh.
Why the application should influence the answer?
Thank you in advance for any further reply
Matteo
