Overview

Description

The ISL94216A is a 16-cell Battery Front End (BFE) IC, an essential component of any Battery Management System (BMS), which periodically scans battery status and the operating environment to optimize battery life and prevent catastrophic failures. A differential multiplexer and 16-bit ADC allows for accurate monitoring of cell voltage, temperature, and load current for management of the overall state of the battery pack.

The ISL94216A supports I2C, SPI, and Single Wire protocols allowing customers to connect an MCU in a proprietary battery management solution. Low current consumption with an average IDLE mode current of 200µA and a SHIP mode current of less than 18µA maximizes the storage and discharge life of a battery pack.

The ISL94216A features internal cell balancing circuitry that provides 8mA of balance current per cell. External cell balancing for higher currents is also supported. This 16-cell high voltage BFE IC is offered in an efficient 64 Ld QFN package with a thermal pad.

  1. ISL94216 cell balancing not working

    I have designed my own board with isl94216. I am communicating with the ic over i2c from a master controller stm32l562 series. I am able to monitor the voltages current temperatures. But the balancing is not working at all. I have tried both automatic as well as manual. But nothing ...

  2. ISL94202 Cell Balance

    HelloI am currently working with the ISL94202 and during cell balancing I noticed that the I noticed that the CB outputs seem only 25μA can.Can this really be?Or have I read wrong?If I want to balance large LifePo4 cells, say with 1A, or more, that would be ...

  3. ISL94216 minimum voltage

    Hello, We are using an ISL94216A for the control of a LFP battery, exactly a 4S5P pack. The question that arises is where is the minimum voltage limit in a pack using the ISL94216. According to the datasheet, the minimum VBat voltage is 12V, however the sensor seems to work ...
