15-Cell Li-Ion Battery Controller Analog Front-End Reference Design

The TIDA00255 reference design utilizes the bq76940 analog front end (AFE) IC. It can measure battery voltage, mold temperature or external thermistor voltage using a 14-bit ADC. Current is measured individually by a separate 16-bit coulomb counter. The design turns off the low-side power FET to stop discharging or charging based on selected hardware limits. A microcontroller not included in this design will be part of the battery controller to communicate with the AFE to set protection thresholds, enable the power FETs, provide fault recovery, and shut down the FETs during over/under temperature conditions. Battery controller designs may include additional features that are not part of this reference design, such as secondary overvoltage protection, measurement, and isolated communications to inform the system of battery status.

36W universal input dual output auxiliary power supply reference design for PSU with greater than 90% efficiency

TIDA-00709 is a 36W dual-output auxiliary power supply with universal DC input, targeting server and telecom power supplies. This reference design uses the UCC28740 constant voltage/constant current (CV-CC) flyback controller to implement a quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converter with optocoupled feedback for voltage and primary-side regulation for current ( PSR). To improve efficiency, the TIDA-00709 uses a synchronous rectifier with a synchronous controller UCC24636 and a low RDS(on) MOSFET to achieve a 12V_ISO/2.75A main output. This design is small and economical and has almost all necessary built-in protection mechanisms, such as protection against output overvoltage and short circuits. Additionally, the design features built-in electronic fuses for fault isolation on the 12V main output voltage rail without affecting any other outputs.

Refrigerator Damper and Fan Motor Control Solutions

Refrigerators often use dampers to control airflow and fans to provide air circulation. Discrete solutions have been used for years, but this TI design uses an integrated motor driver to provide easy control, high performance and complete protection. The DRV8848 drives the stepper motor damper, while the DRV10983 drives the BLDC fan with quiet 180° commutation. The BLDC even has closed-loop speed control when using the MSP430G2553 and the DRV8812 for PWM-based power supplies. The entire solution uses a single layer PCB. BLDC and stepper control example code is included in the MCU firmware. Overcurrent, overtemperature and undervoltage protection mechanisms are integrated in the DRV device.

36V, 32A power stage for BLDC motors with cycle-by-cycle stall current limiter

This reference design is a power stage for brushless motors in battery-powered garden tools and power tools rated up to 1 kW, powered by a 10-cell lithium-ion battery with a voltage range of 36 to 42 V. This design uses 60V N-channel NexFET(TM) with ultra-low drain-to-source resistance (RDS_ON) of 1.8 mΩ in a SON5x6 SMD package, resulting in a small 57 × 59 mm PCB footprint. This design uses a three-phase gate driver to drive the three-phase MOSFET bridge, which can operate from 6V to 60V and supports programmable gate current with a maximum setting of 2.3A sink/1.7A source. The C2000™ Piccolo™ LaunchPad™ LAUNCHXL-F28027 is used with this power stage and implements 120-degree trapezoidal control of BLDC motors via Hall sensors in software. The gate driver's cycle-by-cycle current limiting feature limits the maximum current allowed in this power stage to a safe level, thereby protecting the board from overcurrent issues caused during motor shutdown.
