Complete battery pack monitoring, balancing, and protection system

Improve industrial BMS performance

Boost battery lifetime and safety in industrial and consumer applications

Boost battery lifetime and safety in industrial and consumer applications

By integrating a high-precision 12-bit ADC, the L9961 monitors individual cell voltages, stack voltage and cell temperature. A dedicated  16-bit high-accuracy current-sense amplifier (CSA) monitors battery stack current enabling the internal Coulomb counter for SOC/SOH estimation. Integrated balancing MOSFETs allow balancing of individual cell. Advanced diagnostics, protection FETs pre drivers and fuse driver, helps battery protection.
