Latest advanced wireless battery management solutions from TI

Electrical vehicles are going for wireless battery management, since that can save designers from complex wiring and also reduce the weight of electric vehicle. To address this trend, analog and mixed signal semiconductor chip vendor Texas Instruments has made available semiconductor solutions to wirelessly monitor and manage batteries.

The latest solution from Texas Instruments offers the SimpleLink 2.4-GHz CC2662R-Q1 wireless microcontroller (MCU) evaluation module, software and functional safety enablers such as a functional safety manual; failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA); diagnostic analysis (FMEDA); TÜV SÜD concept report; and more. 

“The implementation of wireless battery management systems will be a growing trend in the EV marketplace because these advancements provide greater flexibility of design while also lowering the complexity and cost relative to traditional systems,” said Asif Anwar, director of the powertrain, body, chassis and safety service at Strategy Analytics. “By demonstrating a solution that combines these advantages with ASIL D compliance, the TI solution sets a benchmark for the industry to follow.”

TI said it had requested  TÜV SÜD, the industry’s leading functional safety authority to independently evaluate the quantitative and qualitative error-detection perfo...
