A battery monitoring system and method are disclosed. A battery monitor compares data in parallel register files. If voltage deviation above a certain threshold is detected in one register file, the system generates an alert that a fault exists upstream in the system. In order to better detect errors, the system may intentionally alter the voltages on the batteries to be monitored.

Channel verification of multiple channels on one chip

System and method to detect battery cell malfunctions through redundant offset battery cell monitoring. Redundant battery monitoring may be implemented in a battery monitoring system to process battery cell voltages at offset times. A processor may compare offset voltage samples for a particular battery cell. If the samples vary outside a predetermined range, the processor may indicate a battery cell malfunction.

Diagnostic method to monitor battery cells of safety-critical systems

An exemplary method and system of addressing an integrated circuit within a daisy chain network. In the exemplary method, the address of the integrated circuit may be initialized to a predetermined initial address. The integrated circuit may receive a command that includes a type identifier and an address field. Based on the type identifier, the type of command may be determined. As a result of the determination, reading the address from the address field. The read address may be stored in a register. The address may be modified, and may be output. Upon receipt of the data or a command, the integrity of the data including data within the received command, may be confirmed by an error checking algorithm.
