Active Cell Balancing Module for Low Voltage Battery Packs

Overview

This simple and effective solution for a battery pack with active balancing can extend the battery system run time. Also, active balancing can shorten charge time and reduce heat generated compared to passive balancing.

System Benefits:

  • Samples voltage and current with MCU internal 16-bit, up to 6.25Msps ADC
  • High-resolution PWM (156ps resolution) controls the voltage after boosting to charge the entire battery pack
  • High input voltage buck with 2 LDOs powers the system
  • Battery management
  • Power battery
