ISL78714
Automotive Grade Multi-Cell Li-Ion Battery Manager
Data Short
To request the full datasheet, visit the ISL78714 device page.
The ISL78714
manager IC supervises up to 14 series connected
cells and is optimized to meet stringent automotive
performance, reliability, and safety requirements. The
device provides all the functions expected of such a
critical component in a battery management system,
such as accurate cell voltage and temperature
monitoring, cell balancing, and extensive system
diagnostics.
In a typical configuration, a Master ISL78714
communicates to a host microcontroller through an
SPI port and up to 29 additional ISL78714 devices
connected together by a robust, proprietary, two-wire
Daisy Chain. This communication system is highly
flexible and can be implemented with capacitor
isolation, transformer isolation, or a combination of
both.
Three cell balancing modes are included: Manual
Balance mode, Timed Balance mode, and Auto
Balance mode. Auto Balance mode terminates
balancing after a host-specified amount of charge has
been removed from every cell.
The ISL78714 is packaged in a 64 pin TQFP and is
specified for operation from -40ºC to +105ºC.
