SOC Estimation
• Initial state of change
estimation is necessary
and needs to be accurate

• Then current is integrated

True SOC
by using the Coulomb
counting function

• SOC accuracy depends

on measurement
accuracy of both current
and voltage

COMPANY PUBLIC 9
SOH Estimation
• State of Health = SOH
• Internal cell resistance is one of the many factors used to determine SOH
• SOH measurement requires a good synchronization of current and voltage measurements – typically 100 us

COMPANY PUBLIC 10
Cell Capacity / Charging Mismatch
• Slight mismatch in capacity during manufacturing, additional mismatch during lifetime
• This results in wasted capacity during both charge and discharge
• Cell balancing is used to equalize SOCs

Passive Cell Balancing

COMPANY PUBLIC 11
Safety is Critical for Lithium-Ion Battery Applications
• Battery over-voltage (OV)
− Secondary chemical reactions triggered: battery overheating, smoke emission, inflaming or
explosion are very likely. OV typically close to 4 V
• Thermal runaway (OT):
− Can start a positive temperature feedback mechanism, with the same consequences as an OV. OT
typically close to 60 °C
• Battery under-voltage (UV):
− Results in progressive breakdown of the electrodes substances. With LFP cells this may happen
over a few cycles. UV typically close to 2 V
• Battery over-current (OC):
− May result in the melting of the battery contactors. Major safety issue: impossibility to open the
contactors and inability to drive the system to the disabled safe state
• Battery under-temperature (UT):
− Loss
of robustness of the contactors, reduction of the battery capability to provide current, dendrites.
Need to limit current to avoid damage
• Need to comply with stringent safety standards –ISO 26262 for Automotive

GreenBox: Vehicle Electrification Development Platform
Development platform with advanced performance, peripherals
and multi-core Arm® environment for engineers to begin
development on NXP's next generation of Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (HEV) MCUs. GreenBox supports the development of
HEV and motor control applications with two models:

• S32PDEVPL-KITC includes the peripheral board for HEV

and internal combustion engine applications.
• S32SDEVPL-KITP includes the peripheral board for motor
control and battery management applications.

Features
• High-performance compute board with 4 x Arm Cortex®
A53-based cores with NEON operating at up to 1 GHz
• Peripheral control board with the complex timers, filters and
analog modules to support HEV or motor control applications
• Numerous automotive communication interfaces: Gb
Ethernet, CAN-FD, LIN, UART, JTAG, SDHC, PSI5, SENT
• Interfaces directly to standard and complex timers and ADC
modules
• Fully regulated switching power supply with 12 V power input
