I'm working on designing an active capacitive cell balancer using IRFZ44N MOSFETs, the TC4422 Driver IC, and an STM32 microcontroller. The STM32 will read the voltage of each cell using its ADC and control the MOSFETs through GPIO pins.
The system is for a prototype battery made of 10 supercapacitors (400F, 2.7V), grouped into 5 cells, with each cell consisting of two supercapacitors connected in parallel. The goal is to balance the voltage across these cells.
I’ve put together a rough schematic and would love some feedback. I'll also be using current-limiting resistors to protect the system.
Need your insights about this.... I'm guessing this might not work and need many improvements.
