Brief Description The ZSSC1956 IC is a dual-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an embedded microcontroller for battery sensing/management in automotive, industrial, and medical systems.
One of the two input channels measures the battery current IBAT via the voltage drop at the external shunt resistor. The second input channel measures the battery voltage VBAT and the temperature. An integrated flash memory is provided for customerspecific software; e.g., dedicated algorithms for calculating the battery state.
