3 Description

The BQ79718-Q1 provides high-accuracy cell voltage

measurements for up to 18s battery modules in

high-voltage battery management systems in xEV/EV.

The family of monitors offers different channel

options in the same package type, providing pin

to-pin compatibility and supporting high reuse of

the established software and hardware across

any platform. This device has state-of-the-art

ADC architecture/measurement system meeting the

stringent automotive standard/ safety requirement.

With the daisy chain isolated by transformer (or

capacitor), the device is suitable for centralized or

distributed architectures in xEV powertrain.
