About

Infineon offers a complete and scalable automotive battery management system chipset for 48 V solutions, production-ready complex device drivers with integrated safety libraries that supports up to ASIL-D safety standards. The interoperability and flexibility help you to reduce design effort and speed up time-to-market. Enhance your automotive 48 V BMS with our comprehensive product offering featuring best-in-class robustness, compact design and lowest PPM rates. Furthermore, Infineon's highly integrated products significantly decrease the footprint and help you reduce costs by minimizing PCB size. Besides, Infineon's zero-defect mindset is reflected in the lowest PPM rates in the market, and significantly reduces vehicle downtime and returns.

Infineon's 48 V batter management chipset solutions are dedicated to various vehicle and propulsion system types.

Vehicles types:

  • Passenger vehicles
  • Electric two-wheelers
  • Electric three-wheelers

Propulsion systems:

  • Low-voltage battery electric vehicles (BEV)
  • Mild-hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV)
  • 48 V as third voltage

Explore 48 V BMS functions below.

Cell monitoring & balancing: Diagnose cell voltages and temperatures, balance cell characteristics, and communicate with the main controller using low-power housekeeping.

Current sensing and coulomb counting: Measure SoC accurately and trigger battery disconnection with fast OCD using coulomb counting.

Battery control unit (BCU): Calculate SoC, SoH, SoP, and SoS, communicate with the domain controller, and perform housekeeping and firmware updates.

Battery passport & event logging: Log vital parameters, track malfunctions, support warranties clarification, and enable 'pay-per-use' models. Enhance battery performance and proactively condition it.

Battery pack monitoring: Detect thermal runaway, monitor battery disconnection, isolation, and overcurrent. Trigger disconnection units when necessary.

Battery disconnection and protection: Ensure EV safety during parking, charging, and discharging. Disconnect from charger and monitor disconnection state when triggered by failures or vehicle being off.

Isolated communication: Transmit cell information reliably between high-voltage and low-voltage domains using wired (ISO-UART) and wireless (low-power Bluetooth®) topologies.
