EV2796-0000/0002-FP-00A Evaluation Boards

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) EV2796-0000/0002-FP-00A Evaluation Boards are designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the MP2796, an Analog Front-End (AFE) monitoring and protection IC. This MP2796 IC supports 7-cell to 16-cell series battery packs with voltage measurement accuracy, current, and a set of protection features. The MP2796 IC includes high-side MOSFETs (HS-FETSs) and measures each cell’s voltage for discharge and charge control. This MP2796 offers internal passive-balancing MOSFETs and measures cell and die temperatures via four Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor inputs. The MOSFETs incorporate Over-Current Protection (OCP), Short-Circuit Protection (SCP), battery Under-Voltage Protection (UVP), and battery Over-Voltage Protection (OVP).
