To meet safety standards, automotive applications require redundant components to be added to the system. The MAX17853 is currently the industry’s only ASIL-D compliant single-chip IC that supports medium and large battery pack configurations, enabling customers to create systems with the highest level of safety in terms of voltage, temperature, communications, and more. The advanced battery balancing system automatically adjusts each battery according to time and voltage, minimizing the risk of battery overcharge and further improving system safety. Customers can implement all of the above functions without adding additional components such as redundant comparators, further reducing solution size. In addition, compared with competing solutions, the MAX17853 reduces system BOM cost by 35%, helping customers implement lower-cost BMS solutions.

Flexibility is also an important factor, as engineers must design and verify the board and bill of materials (BOM) for different module configurations. The MAX17853 is the industry’s only IC that can implement multi-channel configurations (8 to 14 cells) on a single board. This saves the customer’s audit and certification time and shortens the development cycle by 50%. For example, customers can use the same board to support 8- and 14-segment module designs, halving development time and certification efforts.

main advantage

Safety: The MAX17853 is the industry’s only mid-to-large battery pack management solution that meets ASIL-D requirements for temperature, battery voltage, and communications.

Simple design: The Flexpack structure allows customers to change the module configuration without re-changing the board design and circuit certification.

Evaluation

“With this solution, automotive OEMs do not need to redesign the entire BMS system,” said Tamer Kira, executive director of Maxim Integrated’s automotive business unit. “Customers can configure multiple battery modules for different models with just one circuit board. “
