1. Benefit of the Model The model enables circuit designer to predict and optimize battery runtime and circuit performance. The model can be easily adjusted to your own battery specifications by editing a few parameters that are provided in the datasheet. The model is optimized to reduce the convergence error and the simulation time All Rights Reserved Copyright (C) Bee Technologies Corporation 211 3
2. Model Feature This Li-Ion Battery Simplified SPICE Behavioral Model is for users who require the model of a Li-Ion Battery as a part of their system. Battery Voltage(V bat ) vs. Battery Capacity Level (SOC) Characteristic, that can perform battery charge and discharge time at various current rate conditions, are accounted by the model. As a simplified model, the effects of cycle number and temperature are neglected. All Rights Reserved Copyright (C) Bee Technologies Corporation 211 4
3. Concept of the Model Li-Ion battery Simplified SPICE Behavioral Model [Spec: C, NS] + Output Characteristics Adjustable SOC [ -1(1%) ] - The model is characterized by parameters: C, which represent the battery capacity and SOC, which represent the battery initial capacity level. Open-circuit voltage (V OC ) vs. SOC is included in the model as an analog behavioral model (ABM). NS (Number of Cells in series) is used when the Li-ion cells are in series to increase battery voltage level. All Rights Reserved Copyright (C) Bee Technologies Corporation 211 5
4. Parameter Settings Model Parameters: C is the amp-hour battery capacity [Ah] e.g. C =.3, 1.4, or 2.8 [Ah] (Default values) TSCALE = 1 C = 1.4 SOC = 1 NS = 1 NS is the number of cells in series e.g. NS=1 for 1 cell battery, NS=2 for 2 cells battery (battery voltage is double from 1 cell) SOC is the initial state of charge in percent e.g. SOC= for a empty battery (%), SOC=1 for a full charged battery (1%) TSCALE turns TSCALE seconds into a second e.g. TSCALE=6 turns 6s or 1min into a second, TSCALE=36 turns 36s or 1h into a second, From the Li-Ion Battery specification, the model is characterized by setting parameters C, NS, SOC and TSCALE.
