Post 10 : Battery management system 🔋Deep Dive into Battery management system (BMS) : Learning by Building AFE : Analog Front End (ML5238) AFE is called the " Sense Organs " of BMS. Here’s what makes this chip so powerful for EV & ESS applications: ✅ Cell Voltage Monitoring & Balancing Continuously measures individual cell voltages (V0–V13 in this case). Provides cell balancing switches to equalize SoC, extending overall pack life. ✅ Current & Short-Circuit Detection Integrated current monitor and short detector ensure real-time protection. Prevents overcurrent damage and ensures safe pack operation. ✅ Charger Logic & FET Driver Detects charger connections and controls charge/discharge MOSFETs. Enables smart switching for pack protection and efficiency. ✅ Reference Generator & Voltage Regulation Maintains stable internal references for accurate sensing and ADC conversion. ✅ MCU Interface Communicates with the BMS controller via SPI (CS, SCK, SDI, SDO). Allows seamless data transfer for SoC/SOH algorithms, protection, and fault handling. In short, the AFE is the heart of sensing and protection—bridging the analog world of cells, currents, and temperatures with the digital brain of the BMS controller.

200V MOSFETs Deliver Optimal Balance of Performance & Cost-Effectiveness iDEAL Semiconductor Devices Inc. has just confirmed that the initial variant from its 200V-rated family of high-performance silicon MOSFETs - which each leverage the company’s proprietary SuperQ technology - is now in volume production. A further 4 variants are already sampling. Via SuperQ, it has been possible to overcome the operational limitations that are normally associated with silicon-based power switching devices. Major improvements are derived in terms of performance and efficiency, while still retaining the various advantageous that normally relate to silicon too - such as high-volume manufacturability, attractive price points, ruggedness, proven reliability at 175°C temperatures, etc. The 1st 200V-rated SuperQ MOSFET to be going into volume production is the iS20M028S1P. This has a 25mOhm on-state resistance (RDSon) and is supplied in a TO-220 package format. Among the MOSFETs now sampling are TOLL and D²PAK-7L packaged variants that have a 5.5mOhm maximum RDSon - making their figures significantly lower than those from rival vendors' devices. They will be aimed at use in motor drives, LED lighting installations, battery protection systems, AI server infrastructure, isolated DC/DC power modules, photovoltaic inverters, USB-PD adapters, etc.   “By expanding SuperQ into 200 V, iDEAL is proving that silicon innovation is far from over,” Mark Granahan, iDEAL Semiconductor’s CEO, states. “These results show that we can deliver the lowest resistance and superior switching behaviour while maintaining the manufacturability, reliability, and cost advantages of silicon. It’s a major milestone for our company and...
