B. <strong>HESC</strong> Function Command Details<br />

1. BattTempCmd() 0x08<br />

Description:<br />

Returns the batteries internal temperature (°K). The actual operational temperature range will typically be in the range<br />

of -20°C to +75°C.<br />

Purpose:<br />

The BattTempCmd() function provides accurate cell temperatures for use by <strong>HESC</strong>-SER and Host management<br />

system. The <strong>HESC</strong> is able to use the temperature as a safety check and the Host may use the temperature in it's<br />

thermal management. (Kelvin units are used to facilitate simple unsigned handling of temperature information and to<br />

permit easy conversion to other units.)<br />

Protocol: Read Word<br />

Output: unsigned int -- cell temperature in tenth degree Kelvin increments<br />

Units: 0.1°K<br />

Range: 0 to +6553.5°K<br />

2. BattVCmd() 0x09<br />

Description:<br />

Returns the battery voltage (mV).<br />

Purpose:<br />

The BattVCmd() function provides the Host power management system with an accurate battery voltage. The Host<br />

management system can use this voltage, along with battery current information to help enable intelligent, adaptive<br />

power management systems.<br />

Protocol: Read Word<br />

Output: unsigned int -- battery terminal voltage in milli-volts<br />

Units: mV<br />

Range: 0 to 65,535 mV<br />

3. BattICmd() 0x0A<br />

Description:<br />

Returns the current being supplied (or accepted) through the battery (mA).<br />

Purpose:<br />

The BattICmd() function provides a snapshot for the Host power management system of the current flowing into or out<br />

of the battery. This information will be of particular use in the Host power management system because it can<br />

characterize individual devices and "tune" their operation to actual system power behavior.<br />

Protocol: Read Word<br />

Output: signed int -- charge/discharge rate in mA increments - positive for charge, negative for discharge<br />

Units: mA<br />

Range: 0 to 32,767 mA for charge or<br />

0 to -32,768 mA for discharge<br />
