Gentherm, a global market leader and developer of innovative thermal management technologies, and Datang NXP Semiconductors Co., Ltd. (DNS) announced the companies’ joint efforts in developing a new cell connection system, integrating the electronics for the battery module control for the global automotive market.
This first-of-its-kind cell connection system will combine the single-cell monitoring integrated circuit (IC) and Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) of Datang NXP Semiconductors with the proprietary design of Gentherm’s Cell Connecting Systems – a foil-based conductor made by a unique Mechanical Structuring Process (MSP), that replaces complex sensor cable harnesses.
