Description

This reference design provides a cost-effective design for multichannel battery formation and test applications. The design uses the C2000™ real-time microcontroller (MCU) with 16-channel simultaneous sampling precision ADC, which can be scaled up to support 8-channel cell testing. The design utilizes the HRPWM module for precise duty cycle control, to achieve the performance of a precision digital-to-analog converter, which saves more than 30% in the bill of materials. The MCU integrates 2p2z control for both constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) control operation. Multichannel ADC optimizes the flexibility of current and voltage loops in software. This design allows multiple current and voltage levels output with one approach.
