BQ76PL455EVMS Battery management system / Precise Voltage Cell Monitoring

This is the Power Management Development Tools BQ76PL455EVMS a passive balancing device from Texas Instruments driven by BQ76PL4554-Q1 (please refer to the datasheet specification). This device provides monitoring and balancing up to 1 6 series connected lithium-ion battery cells operates on stack voltages from 16v minimum to 79.2v maximum. In addition to 16 battery measurement channels, 8 additional analog channels are provided as additional options, configure the digital channels to generate faults when the level variations state; either HIGH or LOW. The passive cell balancing current is set to the onboard resistors to 56mA for a cell at 4.2v.  For battery series with more than 16 cells, stack up to 6 BQ76PL455EVMS, in parallel to support up to 96 lithium-ion battery cells changing communication with stacked BQ76PL455EVMS via an isolated daisy chain differential bus capable of 500v. A multiple bq76pl455EVMS can be wake up from power off using a wake command via from the graphical user interface. System faults are monitored and mark in the GUI by simulated LED fault status indicators.

For controlling a single BQ76PL455EVMS or Multiple BQ76PL455EVMS using a PC hosted Graphical User Interface or HMI. This device communicate via FTDI USB to TTL 5v Serial Interface Cable and all other BQ76PL455EVMS which is connected via daisy chain differential communication bus. The software allows you to configure the BQ76PL455EVMS to monitor the connected battery cells and other analog data channels, control balancing and monitors any battery cell faults.
