Subject to Change LTC6801 Independent Multicell Battery Stack Fault Monitor FEATURES
n DESCRIPTION
The LTC®6801 is a multicell battery monitoring IC incorporating a 12-bit ADC, a precision independent voltage reference, sampled comparator, and a high voltage input multiplexer. Differential clocking provides high noise immunity and ensures that battery stack fault conditions cannot be hidden by frozen bits or short circuit conditions. When multiple devices are stacked, the status signal of each LTC6801 can be daisy-chained, without opto-couplers or isolators, providing a single status output for the entire battery string. The LTC6801 is configurable by external pin strapping. Adjustable overvoltage and undervoltage thresholds support various Li-Ion chemistries. Selectable measurement times allow users to save power. Monitors Up to 12 Li-Ion Cells in Series (60V Max) n Stackable Architecture Enables > 1000V Systems n Adjustable Overvoltage and Undervoltage Detect...
