Complete battery pack monitoring, balancing, and protection system

Improve industrial BMS performance

Boost battery lifetime and safety in industrial and consumer applications

Boost battery lifetime and safety in industrial and consumer applications

By integrating a high-precision 12-bit ADC, the L9961 monitors individual cell voltages, stack voltage and cell temperature. A dedicated  16-bit high-accuracy current-sense amplifier (CSA) monitors battery stack current enabling the internal Coulomb counter for SOC/SOH estimation. Integrated balancing MOSFETs allow balancing of individual cell. Advanced diagnostics, protection FETs pre drivers and fuse driver, helps battery protection.

New L9961 smart power - bms ic

L9961: ST’s 1st battery management IC with configurable high- and low-side protector

L9961: ST’s 1st battery management IC with configurable high- and low-side protector

The L9961 is our first battery monitoring and balancing IC for industrial applications that offers a high-side / low-side configurable pre-driver and a fuse driver. The integration simplifies designs and reduces costs by lowering the number of external components without compromising features. Avid readers of the ST Blog know the L9963E well, as the automotive cousin of the L9961 has played an essential role in numerous electric cars.
