TIDA-010086 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Digital control cost-optimized 10-A battery formation and test reference design

Description

This reference design provides a cost-effective solution for battery formation and test applications. This design uses the C2000™ real-time control MCU for high-resolution pulse-width modulation (PWM) generation: and constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV)control loops. It efficiently utilizes the MCU: and does not require a precision digital-to-analog converter: which saves more than 30% in the bill of materials. The flexibility of current and voltage loops in software allows users to achieve multiple current and voltage levels output with one design.

Features
  • Bidirectional current control up to 10 A with less than ±0.01% accuracyC2000 on-chip 12-bit ADC achieves control accuracy better than ±0.05%Parallel up to 8 channels for wide output current rangeFlexible digital constant-current and constant-voltage control loopsChannel-to-channel crosstalk error below 0.01%Multilevel protection in hardware and software for reliable power supply design
Applications
  • Battery cell formation & test equipment
