Battery management systems (BMSs) are used to monitor and protect a rechargeable battery cell or battery pack and are often used in harsh and noisy environments – from electric vehicles to industrial equipment. Safety and prevention of catastrophic failure is a primary concern in the design of BMS. Therefore, it is important for timing solutions used in BMSs to be robust and noise resistant.
SiTime MEMS timing products are built to operate reliably in extreme conditions, in high-current environments and over wide temperature ranges. Our timing solutions are both resilient to electromagnetic interference and have features to reduce system EMI.

A battery management system (BMS) is an electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery cell or battery pack and monitors its health. The primary function of a BMS to:
Regardless of battery type (pouch or prismatic) or chemistry, a BMS is necessary to avoid catastrophic failure.
BMSs are offered in multiple topologies and sizes depending on use case.
BMS configurations are highly dependent on application and are different for mobile and stand-alone applications.
