The BQ79606APHPTQ1 is a six-cell automotive precision battery monitor, balancer, and integrated protector with ASIL-D compliance from Texas Instruments. It is designed for use in electric vehicle and industrial applications and provides critical protection from voltage, current, and temperature faults. The part is housed in a 48-HTQFP package and is rated for operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. Benefits of this part include improved system accuracy, optimized power density, and improved system efficiency. It is a torque-balancer with an analog output and has an integrated linear current amplifier and two programmable 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs), allowing a user to precisely set torque distribution. It also features programmable core and reference voltage, active and passive cell balancing, overcurrent protection, multiple temperature zone capabilities, and programmable cell voltage and temperature block-out thresholds.
