NXP Semiconductors Highly Integrated Battery Pressure Monitor Sensors

NXP Semiconductors Highly Integrated Battery Pressure Monitor Sensors (BPMS) are small QFN (4mm x 4mm x 1.98mm) devices with an integrated 8-bit CPU and NXP firmware. These sensors detect pressure variations, make decisions based on pre-set configurations, and transmit relevant data to the host system. The sensors' compact design and integrated capabilities offer efficient and seamless pressure monitoring solutions.

  • 40kPa to 250kPa pressure range
  • Pressure dynamics
    • Auto wake-up on pressure
    • Warning functions (optional)
      • Fixed pressure threshold breach
      • Relative pressure threshold breach
      • Pressure rate-of-change breach (ΔP/Δt)
  • 70µA average consumption at 70ms sampling rate low power
  • Internal timer to periodically measure and compensate pressure
  • SPI, ready/interrupt, and power supply enable interfaces
  • Ready/interrupts
  • Power supply enable
  • Last 12x pressure measurements saved FIFO memory
  • AEC-Q100 Grade 1
  • -40°C to +125°C temperature range
  • Internal self-tests for transducer and signal chain diagnostics
  • Pb-free, 24-pin "wettable flank" QFN 4mm x 4mm x 1.98mm package
  • Pressure sensor protected by chemical-resistant gel

Applications

  • Battery Management System (BMS)
  • Energy storage/large battery storage systems
  • State of health, battery pack drop detection
  • Traction (EV) battery over-pressure warning
  • Automotive gas meters
