MC33771 S32K BALANCING

Hello.

The following observation was made when the balancing was enabled, although balancing of one cell is activated, other cells also seem to discharge; two approaches were followed :

1) BCC_SetCBIndividually(bccDrvConfig, 1, 13, true); - balances the 14 cell
Results : 3391 3391 3374 3384 3415 3405 3314 3322 3428 3429 3430 3390 3431 3431

3378 3376 3360 3370 3406 3396 3297 3307 3423 3424 3423 3374 3427 3421
But other than the 14th cell, even other cell seems to be dissipated.

Hi Sushma,

We have performed some measurements on our EVB and it seems that the function BCC_SetCBIndividually is working properly. Which status does this function return in your case and what is the value of the CB_DRV_STS register which shows the actual state of the cell balance drivers?

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello Thomas,

I have used the function and checked the status DRV_STATUS and CBx_CFG to confirm if the cells are balancing.

I have enabled the function in monitoring.c file as BCC_SetCBIndividually(bccDrvConfig, 1, 9 or 14 (*tried two examples*), true); .

My question is : When only one cell balancing is enabled,I see all other cells also dissipating along with it. Why is it so?

Hi Sushma,

It does not seem to be a software issue, most likely it is a hardware problem. I have asked my colleagues to get some insight on this and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hi Sushma,

Could you please elaborate on your hardware setup?

What kind of cells/battery are you using and are you sure there is no load connected to the battery?

What are the results when the balancing is disabled?

Best regards,

Tomas
