RAA489206 16-Cell Battery Front End (BFE)

Renesas Electronics RAA489206 16-Cell Battery Front End (BFE) is an essential component of any Battery Management System (BMS) that periodically scans battery status and the operating environment. This scanning is done to optimize battery life and prevent catastrophic failures. To manage the overall state of the battery pack, a differential multiplexer and 16-bit ADC allow for the accurate monitoring of cell voltage, temperature, and load current.
