eDisconnect Power Switch for battery-powered
applications
REF_60100EDPS
About this document
Scope and purpose
Applications with lithium-ion batteries use battery management systems (BMS) to monitor the battery state
and ensure safe operation. The battery protection unit (BPU), which is a subset of BMS, is typically equipped
with electro-mechanical or electronic switches with control circuitry for precharge and (dis-)connect
operations.
This user manual provides a brief overview about the concept and functions implemented as well as the use of
the eDisconnect Power Switch (EDPS) reference board REF_60100EDPS. This reference board is targeted for
battery-powered applications like EVs, servers, energy storage systems (ESS) and serves its purpose in safe
disconnection of the battery to abnormal conditions and connection (auto-restart) of the system to normal
conditions with the charger or load. The design offers an effective solution for the implementation of a smart
BPU using electronic devices like MOSFETs, gate-drivers, and current sensor and is intended to provide reliable
performance for such applications.
Intended audience
This document is intended for hardware developers and users of demonstrator boards.
About the reference board/kit
Product(s) embedded on a PCB with a focus on specific applications and defined use cases that may include
software. PCB and auxiliary circuits are optimized for the requirements of the target application.
This reference board can also be used during the design-in process for evaluating performances of current
sensors, Linear FETs, and TOLT MOSFETs.
Note:
Boards do not necessarily meet safety, EMI, quality standards (for example UL, CE) requirements.
Note:
PCB and auxiliary circuits are NOT optimized for final customer design.
