The ADS131B23 is a fully integrated, high-voltage, battery-pack monitor for
industrial battery management systems (BMS).
The ADS131B23 integrates two simultaneous-sampling, high-precision, 24-bit ADC
channels (ADC1A, ADC1B) to redundantly measure battery current with high resolution and
accuracy using an external shunt resistor. Two independent digital comparators enable fast
overcurrent detection in parallel with the two ADCs.
An additional multiplexed, 16-bit ADC
(ADC2A) is available to measure shunt temperature and other voltages in the system, such as
battery-pack voltage, using external high-voltage resistor dividers. Shunt temperature is
measured using an external temperature sensor, such as a thermistor or an analog output
temperature sensor. ADC2A is equipped with a channel sequencer that automatically steps
through the configured multiplexer inputs to reduce communication on the SPI.
The device integrates many monitoring and
diagnostic features to mitigate and detect random hardware faults to aid in the development
of functionally safe BMS.
Internal linear regulators with input ranges
up to 16V support powering the device with unregulated DC/DC converters.
The ADS131B23 is offered in a 48-pin HTQFP package and is specified over the
automotive temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.
