Battery Management System (BMS)

Maximizing range, ensuring safety, and extending battery life with Nuvoton's precision automotive-grade ICs. Our solutions provide ASIL-D compliant monitoring for modern EV architectures.

BMS Concept

Why Nuvoton BMS?

As electric vehicles (EVs) become mainstream, the Battery Management System (BMS) acts as the brain of the battery pack. Nuvoton provides high-precision battery monitoring ICs (BM-IC) that measure voltage, temperature, and current with exceptional accuracy.

  • High Measurement Accuracy: Less than +/- 1.5mV error for precise state-of-charge estimation.
  • Functional Safety: Designed for ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance to ensure maximum reliability.
  • Daisy Chain Communication: Robust proprietary interface resisting EMI noise in high-voltage environments.
