Maxim Launches New Advanced Battery Management System to Enable Safer, Smarter Vehicles

Beijing, China - January 9, 2018 -Maxim announces the MAX17843 12-channel, high-voltage, smart sensor data acquisition device that powers automotive OEMs with reliable communications, comprehensive diagnostics, and low system cost to enhance the safety of their lithium-ion battery packs.

Electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids and plug-in hybrids rely on a large lithium-ion battery pack that packs hundreds or even thousands of cells in. According to industry experts, by 2025, 25% of sales vehicles will have a power engine, and OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers need a smart battery management system to support a reliable, low-cost, highly secure solution.

Maxim makes the car of the future safer and smarter with the MAX17843 Battery Management System (BMS). The MAX17843 complies with the highest levels of safety to meet the requirements of ISO26262 and ASIL D (ASIL C also applies.) Differential Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter for Devices UART) reduces BOM cost and failure rate (FIT) with capacitive isolation technology, enabling designers to reduce the BOM cost of their isolation circuitry by as much as 90%. The UART is extremely flexible and supports multiple noises Environment The MAX17843 features fast, accurate voltage measurements and excellent EMC performance using Maxim's unique daisy chain architecture and successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) Various automotive and EV power system applications.

Key Benefits • Security: ISO26262 and ASIL-D certification and TUV certification for design and management processes; Complete BCI requirements; Comprehensive diagnostic capabilities • Low system cost: Internal battery balancing and UART reduction compared to competitor solutions Cost; currently the only IC that supports capacitive or transformer isolation • Reliable communication: Reliable distributed and centralized CMC architecture with UART; 100m daisy-chain connection and high noise immunity; ESD and hot-swappable, and system radiation Indicator requirements

Evaluation • The BMS market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 43% from 2016 to 2021. Siddharth Jaiswal, Automotive Industry Analyst at Technavio, said: "Maxim's ASIL D-certified battery management system proactively detects faults Is extremely important for car safety. "•" It goes without saying that the car has no room for compromise in safety. "Tamer Kira, director of automotive electronics at Maxim Integrated, said:" The MAX17843 provides our customers with safe, smart batteries Required functions for management.

Availability and Pricing • The MAX17843 costs $ 7.61 (1000 units, FOB USA) and is available through the Maxim website. • The MAX17843EVKIT # evaluation kit is available for $ 1,000. • The device operates over a -40 ° C to + 125 ° C temperature range Range in 64-Lead LQFP Package (10mm x 10mm)
