No Zeners needed in parallel to each cell L9963E Tray Full ISO26262 compliant, ASIL-D systems ready TQFP64EP Tape and L9963E-TR Reel Application Product label Automotive: 48 V and high-voltage battery packs Backup energy storage systems and UPS E-bikes, e-scooters Portable and semi-portable equipment Description The L9963E is a Li-ion battery monitoring and protecting chip for high-reliability automotive applications and energy storage systems. Up to 14 stacked battery cells can be monitored to meet the requirements of 48 V and higher voltage systems. Each cell voltage is measured with high accuracy, as well as the current for the on-chip coulomb counting. The device can monitor up to 7 NTCs. The information is transmitted through SPI communication or isolated interface.
