BMS for Light Electric Vehicle

Nuvoton's 17-cell compatible BMIC is used in a variety of electrification applications, from passenger mobility to unmanned mobility such as AGVs and drones.
It also has built-in regulators required for peripheral circuits, making it easy to build cell balance switches and charge/discharge controls.

  • High-precision sensing: Cell voltage measurement accuracy of ±2.9 mV, along with precise current and temperature monitoring to support accurate SoC/SoH estimation.
  • Low power consumption: Typical operating current of 260 µA and shutdown current below 0.1 µA, ensuring reliability even during long-term storage.
  • Safety-oriented design: Built-in self-diagnostics, fail-safe functions, and support for charge/discharge switch control (both low-side and high-side).
