The MP279x ICs, is a robust family of battery management analog front-ends (AFEs) that provide a complete AFE monitoring and protection solution. The MP279x supports up to 16 cells in series, and provides two separate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for synchronous voltage and current measurements. The high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) driver and robust HW protection functions come with configurable thresholds. Protections include over-current protection (OCP), short-circuit protection (SCP), battery and cell over-voltage protection (OVP), battery and cell under-voltage protection (UVP), over-temperature protection (OTP), and under-temperature protection (UTP). The MP279x also integrates internal balancing FETs to equalize mismatched cells while offering the option to control external FETs for a higher balancing current.
