Description
The AS8506C is a battery management IC dedicated to support cell voltage measurement, monitoring, cell balancing and temperature measurement functions in Li-Ion battery stacks for industrial/consumer/PV battery applications.
Features
- cell voltage diagnosis with externally adjustable upper and lower cell voltage limits, fast cell voltage capture on request through 12-bit SAR ADC, passive cell balancing by simultaneous comparison of actual cell voltages with a reference cell voltage and temperature measurement on two external NTC sensors through 12-bit ADC. Cells that are above reference will sequentially be discharged through integrated switches and one external resistor. There is also an active balancing option AS8506C A thr.
