The power battery industry is growing rapidly. How to do the key battery formation? ADI's solution is here~

There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a major trend of automotive electrification. In 2019, the global installed capacity of power battery PACK was 115.21GWh, an increase of 18.16% from 97.5 GWh in 2018. By 2020, China has become the world's largest electric vehicle market. The enthusiastic participation of "new forces in car manufacturing" has undoubtedly further promoted the technological development of power batteries.

As the cost of lithium batteries continues to decline, the cost-effectiveness advantage of new energy vehicles as consumer products will gradually be reflected, and the penetration rate will continue to increase. Coupled with the potential breakthroughs in the energy storage industry, the demand in the power battery market will maintain a high compound growth rate of more than 25% in the next ten years.

In the process of power battery manufacturing, battery formation has always been a production link that all battery manufacturers attach great importance to. The so-called battery formation is to charge the produced battery with a small current to activate the positive and negative electrode materials inside, form a SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, and make the battery performance more stable. The battery can only reflect its true performance after formation. Conversely, if the battery cell is not formed, it cannot be charged and discharged normally.

In the battery formation process, it is particularly important to accurately control the battery's charge and discharge process. Through in-depth cooperation with leading battery formation customers, Analog Devices (ADI) has developed an integrated chip that controls the constant voltage and constant current charge and discharge of batteries suitable for the battery formation process, greatly improving the integration and performance of customer products and strongly promoting the rapid development of the entire industry.

Since its founding in 1965, ADI has been focused on actively addressing engineering challenges related to signal processing in electronic devices. More than 100,000 customers around the world use ADI's signal processing products, which play a very important role in converting, regulating, and processing physical phenomena.

What are the outstanding advantages of ADI's highly integrated solutions for battery formation processes? What value and surprises can it bring to users? Digi-Key asked ADI's experts to give you a detailed interpretation. Let's listen together——
