The automotive industry is evolving rapidly as it goes through an electrification transformation. Advanced battery management system technologies from TI can help overcome some of the widespread adoption challenges: drive range, safety concerns, reliability and cost.

With vehicle architectures trending toward more centralized processing and smarter systems, the semiconductor technology in these systems also needs to evolve. This paper examines trends that are changing the structure of hybrid electric vehicles and EV powertrains and how the technologies within battery management systems are shifting to support the requirements of safer, smarter vehicles.
