Dukosi - Chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ®

Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ^® builds batteries that are simpler, safer, smarter, and more sustainable. The technology offers more in-depth insights into how each cell is performing, enabling manufacturers, OEMs and product designers to create better optimized solutions that precisely fit their applications.

Simpler batteries

Our patented solution eliminates complex wiring harnesses, reduces component count, and simplifies battery design.

The Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ enables smaller, lighter, less complex batteries using a single bus antenna, without the need for line-of-sight restrictions.

Safer batteries

Battery safety is paramount in a rapidly emerging electrification market.

The Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ provides real-time, cell-level data insights that alert to early indications of safety issues.

Smarter batteries

Cell-level intelligence improves efficiency, enables faster charging, promotes longer life.

Improved efficiency, safety, and longevity of the battery pack allows more accurate decisions to be made about its operating parameters based on its exact usage, operating environment, and pack status.

Deeper understanding

Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ can monitor the health of every cell in every battery.

By collecting a lifetime of data from every cell in a battery, it can help build big data pools from every in-use or used battery pack, giving unprecedented insights to cell makers, pack makers and product designers when they come to create the next-generation of cells, batteries or battery-powered applications.

Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ^® proprietary communication protocol

Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ proprietary communication protocol is revolutionizing the performance, safety, and sustainability of battery systems.

C-SynQ is Dukosi’s proprietary communication protocol that is designed specifically for large (battery-size) networks in safety-critical environments. Designed from the ground-up, it offers robust communications with essential data synchronization, yet also with the capacity to scale nodes without reconfiguration.

The Dukosi chip-on-cell solution includes in-house designed DK8102 Cell Monitor and DK8202 System Hub connected with C-SynQ, operating using a single bus antenna and near field communication.

Dukosi Cell Monitor

Ideally installed during cell formation or cell manufacturing, the DK8102 Cell Monitor is placed on every cell in a battery. The DK8102 Cell Monitor provides specialized onboard processing and is equipped with a custom designed DSP, integrated storage to record lifetime data, integrated RF for power-efficient near field communications, and embedded firmware that runs the chip's functionality, including Dukosi's proprietary protocol.

Intelligence on every cell

Each Cell Monitor continuously measures and reports on the cell’s real-time condition and stores the cell’s lifetime data. By adding intelligence on every cell, Dukosi chip-on-cell technology unlocks access to a wealth of information battery designers and systems operators have never previously had access to.

Robust, synchronous communication

The DK8102 Cell Monitors connect to the DK8202 System Hub residing within the main BMS using C-SynQ communication.

Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ communication is extremely robust and power efficient, operating in the order of microwatts (sleep) to milliwatts (active) per chip.

Unlike other communication systems, C-SynQ is designed for safety-critical environments in large battery systems from the ground-up. It provides essential synchronicity of data from all cells, ensuring the BMS can make optimal decisions in dynamic power events.

Scalable solution

Depending on the size of the battery and number of cells required by the application or market, Dukosi chip-on-cell technology with C-SynQ communication can be scaled without requiring redesign and recertification. This flexible approach allows the Dukosi chip-on-cell solution to easily scale for electric vehicles accommodating global market differences, to utility-scale, stationary battery energy storage systems, affording better uptime, safety, and TCO advantages.
