INTERSIL ISL94212

Multi-Cell Li-Ion Battery Manager
ISL94212
Features
The ISL94212 is a Multi-cell Li-ion battery manager IC that
supervises up to 12 series connected cells. The part performs
accurate monitoring, cell balancing and extensive system
diagnostics functions. Three cell balancing modes are
provided: manual mode, timed mode and an auto-balance
mode which terminates balancing functions when a (host
microcontroller specified) charge transfer value has been met.
• Up to 12-cell voltage monitors, support Li-Ion CoO2, Li-Ion
Mn2O4, and Li-Ion FePO4 chemistries
The ISL94212 communicates to a host microcontroller via an
SPI interface and to other ISL94212s using a robust,
proprietary, two-wire Daisy Chain system.
• Robust Daisy Chain communications system
The ISL94212 is offered in a 64 Ld TQFP package and is
specified over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.
Applications
• Cell voltage measurement accuracy ±10mV
• Cell voltage scan rate of 19.5µs per cell (234µs to scan
12 cells)
• Up to four external temperature inputs
• Integrated system diagnostics for all key internal functions
• Hardwired and communications based fault notification
• Integrated watchdog shuts down device if communication is
lost
• 7µA shutdown current: Enable = VSS
• 2Mbps SPI
• Hybrid, electric vehicle battery packs
• Battery backup systems
