  Configuring the bq78PL114 Cell Count (Rev. A)
  PDF, 46 Kb, Revision: A, File published: May 20, 2009
  Configuration of the bq78PL114 to a custom series and parallel cell arranged pack is accomplished outside parameter tabs in bqWizardв„ў or the .ppcsv parameter configuration file. It is easy to set by loading an appropriate .tmap file to the device. This application report describes loading the .tmap file, some considerations for the parallel cell count configuration, and how to simply edit the .tm

  What is a .tmap File? (Rev. A)
  PDF, 294 Kb, Revision: A, File published: Mar 10, 2011
  The PowerLANв„ў Master Gateway Battery Management Controller uses a file, identified by the .tmap file extension, to load configuration parameters. This file serves to configure the operation of the controller to the specific application. Examples of configurable parameters are number of parallel and series cells in the pack, number of temperature sensors, and state-of-charge indication (SOCi) dis

  SBData Commands For PowerLAN(TM) Master Gateway Controller
  PDF, 109 Kb, File published: Apr 14, 2011
  The Smart Battery Data (SBData) Interface is a list of commands that have become a standard in lithium-ion battery management applications. The bq78PL116 supports this standard command set and also includes additional commands to allow some control of its unique operation. These additional commands are called SBData Commands for the PowerLANв„ў Master Gateway Controller and use standard SMBus tran

  PowerPump(TM) Balancing (Rev. B)
  PDF, 721 Kb, Revision: B, File published: Oct 26, 2011
  Pack based charging and discharging schemes cannot fully address the problems associated with capacity imbalance of the series cells. Balancing at the cell level is needed to maximize pack performance. PowerPumpв„ў Cell Balancing is a feature provided in the bq78PL114 and bq76PL102 PowerLANв„ў devices that transfers charge between cells using a boost-type power converter topology. Results are faster a

  Wide-Vin Battery-Charger Using SMBus MSP430 MCUs and bq Fuel Gauges (Rev. A)
  PDF, 1.0 Mb, Revision: A, File published: Jul 25, 2011
  This application report describes a smart-battery charger reference design with a wide-input-voltage range. The reference design implements the System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol for communication between the MSP430 microcontroller and a SMBus-compatible battery fuel gauge. The MSP430 device interrogates the fuel gauge for voltage, current, and other parameters via SMBus. It then adjusts the p
