CELL-MOUNTED APPLICATION SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS FOR BATTERY SENSING

A cell-mounted application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) system for a vehicle includes a battery pack having multiple individual battery cells. An individual cell-mounted application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is in communication with each of the individual battery cells, with the ASIC drawing power for operation directly from the individual battery cell. A battery control unit is in communication with the ASIC. A central electronics control unit is in communication with the ASIC. The ASIC communicates wirelessly with the battery control unit and the central electronics control unit.
