Texas Instruments ADS131B24-Q1 High-Voltage Battery Pack Monitor

Texas Instruments ADS131B24-Q1 High-Voltage Battery Pack Monitor is a fully integrated monitor for automotive electrical vehicle (EV) battery management systems (BMS). The ADS131B24-Q1 integrates two simultaneous-sampling, high-precision, 24-bit ADC channels (ADC1A, ADC1B) to redundantly measure battery current with high resolution and accuracy using an external shunt resistor. Two independent digital comparators enable fast overcurrent detection in parallel with the two ADCs.

Additional two multiplexed, 16-bit ADC channels (ADC2A, ADC2B) are available to measure shunt temperature and other voltages in the system, such as battery-pack voltage, using external high-voltage resistor dividers. Shunt temperature is measured using an external temperature sensor, such as a thermistor or an analog output temperature sensor. Each ADC is equipped with a channel sequencer that automatically steps through the configured multiplexer inputs to reduce communication on the SPI.

The device integrates many monitoring and diagnostic features to mitigate and detect random hardware faults to aid in developing functionally safe BMS. Internal linear regulators with input range up to 16V support powering the device with unregulated DC/DC-converters. The Texas Instruments ADS131B24-Q1 is offered in a 48-pin HTQFP package and is specified over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
