  • Publication number: 20260126494
    Abstract: In an example, a battery management system may include a host microcontroller, which may be operated in accordance with a first clock signal; and a first analog front end (AFE) circuit. The first AFE circuit may be operated in accordance with a second clock signal that may be unsynchronized with the first clock signal. The first AFE circuit may also include first digital circuitry to (1) accumulate a first value corresponding to a number of ADC sample cycles of the first ADC, and to (2) accumulate a second value corresponding to the digital output representative of the first battery current for the ADC sample cycles accumulated in the first value. The first AFE circuit may transfer a representation of the first value and a representation of the second value to the host microcontroller in response to a request from the host microcontroller.

  • Publication number: 20250323329
    Abstract: A battery management system can include a host microcontroller, which can be operated in accordance with a first clock signal, and an analog front end (AFE) circuit, where the AFE circuit can be operated in accordance with a second clock signal that can be unsynchronized with the first clock signal. The AFE circuit can include an input which can be configured to receive a representation of a battery current associated with one or more cells in a battery system. The AFE circuit can also include current measurement circuitry, included in or coupled to the AFE circuit, which can be configured to generate an average current value representative of an average of the battery current for a specified time period. The host microcontroller can be configured to determine a time value representative of a duration of the specified time period, and determine, based on the indication of the average current value, a current transfer value of the battery current during the specified time period.

  • Publication number: 20250116724
    Abstract: A battery management system may include a host microcontroller, operated in accordance with a first clock signal. The battery management system may also include a first sensor, which may be configured to measure a first value of a first group of one or more cells in a battery system. A first AFE circuit may include a first pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller, which may be configured to at least one of enable or power on the first sensor while a first PWM signal from the first PWM controller is in a first state, and may be configured to at least one of disable or power off the first sensor while the first PWM signal is in a second state. The first AFE circuit may also include a first storage register, which may be configured to receive a representation of the first value measured while the first sensor is on and enabled.
