Texas Instruments EMB1499Q
EMB1499Q is an Automotive Grade Product that is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified (–40°C to +125°C Operating Junction Temperature) APPLICATIONS • Li-Ion Battery Management Systems • Hybrid and Electric Vehicles • Grid Storage DESCRIPTION The EMB1499Q bidirectional current dc/dc controller IC works in conjunction with the EMB1428 switch matrix gate driver IC to support TI’s switch matrix based active cell balancing scheme for a battery management system. The EMB1499Q provides three PWM MOSFET gate signals to a bidirectional forward converter so that its output current, either positive or negative, is regulated around a user-defined magnitude. This inductor current is channeled by the EMB1428 through the switch matrix to the cell that needs to be charged or discharged.
