Nissan Integrates Maxim's Battery Monitoring IC Into New Nissan LEAFSAN JOSE, Calif. and TOKYO, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) today announced that its single-chip, ASIL D-rated battery monitoring IC is being integrated into the new Nissan LEAF, the next evolution of its zero-emission electric vehicle. The IC meets the highest safety standards with comprehensive diagnostics, delivers robust communications and dramatically reduces the isolation bill of material (BOM) costs.
Maxim's battery monitoring IC meets the highest safety standards, supporting ISO 26262 and ASIL D requirements (also applicable for ASIL C). Its differential universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) using capacitive isolation reduces BOM costs and failure in time (FIT) rates. The flexible UART enables robust communications in noisy environments. Using Maxim's unique, proprietary daisy-chain architecture and successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital onverter (ADC), Maxim's battery monitoring IC captures fast, accurate voltage measurements and delivers high electromagnetic capability (EMC) performance. Maxim's battery monitoring IC also offers a comprehensive diagnostic feature that complies with bulk current injection (BCI) requirements that are designed to promote safe and smart future vehicles.
