Cell Temperature The bq78PL114 master gateway battery controller is
part of a complete Li-Ion control, monitoring, and
PowerPump Technology Transfers Charge
safety solution designed for large series cell strings.
Efficiently From Cell to Cell During All
Operating Conditions, Resulting in Longer
The bq78PL114 and bq78PL114S12 along with
bq76PL102 PowerLAN™ dual-cell monitors provide
Run Time and Cell Life
complete battery-system control, communications,
bq78PL114S12 Adds User-Configurable
and safety functions for a structure of three up to
PowerPump Cell-Balancing Modes
twelve series cells. This PowerLAN system provides
High-Resolution 18-Bit Integrating Delta-Sigma
simultaneous, synchronized voltage and current
Coulomb Counter for Precise Charge-Flow
measurements using one A/D per-cell technology.
Measurements and Gas Gauging
This eliminates system-induced noise from
measurements and allows the precise, continuous,
Multiple Independent Δ - Σ ADCs: One-per-Cell
real-time calculation of cell impedance under all
Voltage, Plus Separate Temperature, Current,
operating conditions, even during widely fluctuating
and Safety
load conditions.
Simultaneous, Synchronous Measurement of
PowerPump technology transfers charge between
Pack Current and Individual Cell Voltages
cells to balance their voltage and capacity. Balancing
Very Low Power Consumption
is possible during all battery modes: charge,
bq78PL114: < 250 µ A Active, < 150 µ A
discharge, and rest. Highly efficient charge-transfer
Standby, < 40 µ A Ship, and < 1 µ A
circuitry nearly eliminates energy loss while providing
true real-time balance between cells, resulting in
Undervoltage Shutdown
longer run-time and improved cycle life.
