REFLVBMS002
(Battery Management Reference Design for All-solid-state Batteries)
Maxell's All-solid-state Battery × Nano Energy™ Collaboration Board

Summary
This reference design enables easy consideration of battery management solutions using all-solid-state batteries from Maxell, making it ideal for monitoring applications in the consumer sector and measurement equipment in the industrial market.
(Please contact a sales representative or click here for more information on the REFLVBMS002-EVK-001 reference board .)
Generally, in addition to being less prone to leakage and electrolyte degradation than rechargeable batteries such as li-ion that use a liquid electrolyte, all-solid-state batteries are attracting attention as next-generation batteries due to their wide operating temperature range, longer life, and higher reliability.
The REFLVBMS002 is a reference design that combines a charge control IC jointly developed with Maxell, ROHM’s power supply IC that incorporates original ultra-low current technology Nano Energy™, a reset IC, and Maxell’s all-solid-state battery (PSB401010H). Optimized for Maxell’s all-solid-state battery, the circuit provides a solution for the battery and power supply blocks that supports a wide range of applications.
