Re: CCS charging using Prius buck-boost converter

I decided not to use the isolated voltage level that the buck/boost module can supply as I wasn't confident I could read it accurately. It's normally connected to the Prius battery input voltage. There is a high voltage signal available which measures the boosted DC bus voltage, but for that you nee...

Re: Foccci wakeup/sleep discussions

We can only combine Foccci with a charger that doesn't have its own CP and/or PP handling. We could make the 2k7 pull down and 5V pull-up switchable as well to free up the signals for chargers that do handle CP/PP and The above is my use case: adding DCFC to an OEM EV which has none, but its OBC ex...

Re: CCS charging using Prius buck-boost converter

Or it is intentionally with an offset. To make it possible that the controller can distinguish between the cases "sense circuit broken" (0V) and "no HV" (0.54V). Just find the equation, and find out whether the result is stable enough. I think the problem was a poor ground refer...

Re: CCS charging using Prius buck-boost converter

I have been trying to get an accurate measure of the DC bus voltage. The buck/boost converter outputs 'VL' which I thought was a 100:1 scaled voltage measurement of whatever the orange sense wire is connected to. By default, it's connected to the positve post of the battery input and hence measures ...

Re: Develop a QCA7000 board?

Apologies for the interruption - I looked at the FOCCCI schematics for CANbus termination to see if FOCCCI can exist as an unterminated node on the network. There's a 1K resistor on the CAN lines and some text saying this aids with setup on the desk. I think this means that FOCCCI can exist happily ...

Re: Orion BMS and CCS

If I understand then (guessing): a Fellten hardware module detects the user plugging a charge cable into the car. This hardware recognises a plug is present (maybe it provides the 12V to the Orion to go into charge mode). The hardware interrogates the CP to decide whether it's a CCS EVSE or type2 AC...

Prius boost module PM400DV1A120

Hello, does anyone have a datasheet or specification info on the boost control module in the Prius inverter/controller (gen 2) - part number PM400DV1A120?

I'm interested in current handling and how the fault handling works.

Any intel gratefully received!
