Delphi IVT Battery Sensor The Delphi IVT battery sensor measures a battery's current (I), voltage (V), and temperature (T). A robust 100 micro-ohm shunt is used to measure the current while providing low voltage drop and significant current carrying capacity. The sensor features a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) or Controller Area Network (CAN) interface for data and diagnostic communication. Typical Applications Most battery management systems require calculation of battery state of charge (SOC) and may also require battery state of health (SOH). The Delphi IVT accurately measures the current into and out of the battery as well as the battery voltage and battery temperature to enable reliable and accurate SOC and SOH calculation. When the IVT sensor is integrated into a vehicle along with active battery management, the system can deliver improved fuel economy, increased battery life, and increased energy system availability. Battery management reduces fuel consumption when the IVT/Battery management system is equipped with alternator voltage output control as part of the system. Delphi IVT Battery Sensor Performance Advantages While the vehicle is running, the Delphi IVT battery sensor accurately measures the charge and discharge of the battery so the SOC can be continuously updated. Controlling and maintaining the SOC helps reduce fuel consumption and extend the battery life. In addition, SOC and SOH support other valuable features for the vehicle. Performance Specifications Range Low +/- 1 A Operating +/- 300 A Starting -1200 A to 300 A Voltage 6 V to 18 V Temperature -40°C to 85°C Current Accuracy +/- 10 mA larger of +/- 1% of reading or +/- 80 mA larger of +/- 3% of reading or +/- 400 mA +/- 30 mV +/- 2°C The Delphi Advantage Delphi is a world leader in the supply of vehicle electrical and electronic architecture systems comprised of electrical and electronic distribution systems, power and signal junction blocks and electrical centers and connection systems.
