CCS/EM1402EVM: EM1402

Part Number: EM1402EVM

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am using CCS to change the code of TMS570BMS to use BQ GUI for doing active balancing on EM1402. I want to balance 6 cells initially .So I am confused what changes need to be done for that , Does mincell and maxcell represents the no of cells that needs to be balanced or it represents the voltage of mincell and maxcell . Please tell me changes that needs to be done in the code.

  • Hi Radhika,

    I recommend reading through the code closely and over this documentation: www.ti.com/.../tidubi0.pdf before trying to modify to a custom build. If you read right below where max/minCell are defined in the code on lines 347/348, you will see that they are used as comparators for the cell voltages in the do loop line 359 and if you understand this loop, you will quickly learn how you can play with the number of cells and do other modifications.

    Best Regards,
