    摘要: A system includes a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer. The first multiplexer has a first multiplexer input, a second multiplexer input, and a first multiplexer output. The second multiplexer has a third multiplexer input, a fourth multiplexer input, and a second multiplexer output. A first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has a first ADC input and a second ADC input. The first ADC input is coupled to the first multiplexer output. A second ADC has a third ADC input and a fourth ADC input. The third ADC input is coupled to the second multiplexer output. A first measurement channel pin is coupled to the first multiplexer input and to the third ADC input. A busbar pin is coupled to the second multiplexer input and the third multiplexer input.

    摘要: A system includes a battery pack having a first battery module, a second battery module, and a busbar that couples the first and second battery modules; a battery management controller having a first wireless transceiver; and a battery monitor coupled to the first battery module and to the busbar. The battery monitor includes monitoring circuitry configured to receive a first indication of a parameter of the first battery module; a second wireless transceiver configured to provide the first indication to the battery management controller via a wireless connection to the first wireless transceiver; and a busbar voltage circuit configured to receive a second indication of a voltage across the busbar, and, responsive to the second indication being greater than a voltage threshold, provide a first signal to the second wireless transceiver to cause the second wireless transceiver to be in a higher-power state.

    摘要: A battery management system includes a set of N battery modules coupled together in series, a set of N battery monitors, and a controller. Each battery monitor in the set of N battery monitors is coupled to a respective battery module in the set of N battery modules and measures a battery parameter of the respective battery module. The controller determines a preprogrammed delay for each battery monitor and provides the respective preprogrammed delay to each battery monitory. The controller transmits a synchronization command to the set of N battery monitors, which wait the respective preprogrammed delays in response to receiving the synchronization command before stopping updates to values of the respective battery parameters. The controller transmits a read command to the set of N battery monitors, which transmit read responses to the controller comprising values of the battery parameters.

    摘要: A method includes receiving, by a first device in a stack, a command from a controller. The stack includes multiple devices. The method also includes dissipating, by the first device, an amount of power responsive to a difference between a longest response time for the devices to respond to the command, and a device response time for the first device to respond to the command.
