ADI Battery Management ICs to be Featured in Rimac Supercars
Published2019.12.03 17:52BMS, the brain of electric vehicle battery packs
ADI BMS ICs provide accurate battery parameters.
Analog Devices (ADI) announced on the 3rd that Croatian automobile manufacturer Rimac Automobili will be equipped with ADI's BMS IC in its Battery Management System (BMS).
A battery pack consists of bundles of individual battery cells that work seamlessly together to provide maximum power output to the vehicle. If the cells are imbalanced, they become stressed and charge before reaching full charge, shortening the overall battery life.
The BMS acts as the brain of the battery pack, managing output, charging, and discharging while the vehicle is in operation, as well as providing precision measurement functions. It also provides safety protection to protect the battery from various hazards.
ADI's BMS ICs provide Rimac's BMS with reliable information on state of charge and other battery-related parameters at all times, enabling it to extract maximum energy and capacity from the batteries. This enables safer vehicle operation and increases the driving range per charge.
“We look forward to working with ADI to deliver superior BMS performance for Rimac’s electric vehicles and battery packs,” said Mate Rimac, CEO.
“High-performance electric vehicles require high-precision electrical systems,” said Patrick Morgan, vice president of Automotive Electrification and Infotainment at ADI. “Precision accuracy directly correlates to fast charging times, as well as maximizing battery capacity and driving range.”
He added, “We are delighted to support Rimac’s electric vehicle system, which aims to achieve world-class performance, with ADI’s precision BMS ICs.”
Meanwhile, Rimac's C-Two is an electric supercar with a top speed of 412 km/h. The C-Two can accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h in 1.85 seconds and from 0 to 300 km/h in 11.8 seconds. To achieve this high-performance output, Rimac is designing and developing technologies such as the electric drivetrain and battery pack. Last May, the company secured an 80 million euro (approximately 106.7 billion won) investment from Hyundai Motor Group.
