General description
The MC33771C is a SMARTMOS lithium-ion battery cell controller IC designed for
automotive applications, such as hybrid electric (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) along
with industrial applications, such as energy storage systems (ESS) and uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) systems.
The device performs ADC conversions of the differential cell voltages and current, as well
as battery coulomb counting and battery temperature measurements. The information
is transmitted to MCU using one of the microcontroller interfaces, Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) or Transformer physical layer (TPL), of the IC.
Note: Refer to the MC33771C data sheet for all specifications, except those in this
document.

The cell voltage error includes all internal errors, for example; ADC offset, gain error, INL and DNL. Current measurement is not active when measuring
the cell voltage. Single shot measurements are affected by noise, which has zero mean and standard deviation given by VV_NOISE and is not included
in the cell voltage error. In order to reduce it, SW implemented IIR or FIR low pass filters may be used; example, a moving average, whose length is N
samples, has output standard deviation VOUTPUT_NOISE = VV_NOISE /sqrt(N). Performance can be granted only if ADC1-A,B are configured at 16-bits
resolution (ADC_CFG[ADC1_A_DEF] =ADC_CFG[ADC1_B_DEF] = 11) and if -100mV ≤ CTREF - GND ≤ 100 mV.
If the battery stack has at least eight cells, for all accuracy ranges, the accuracy for a given cell can be guaranteed if all other cells are at least at 1.2 V. If
the battery stack has seven cells, for all accuracy ranges, the achievement of the accuracy spec for a given cell can be guaranteed if all other cells are at
least at 1.8 V.
Inaccuracies from soldering or aging are not included.
