toring IC that includes a 12-bit ADC, a precision voltage
reference, a high voltage input multiplexer and a serial
interface. Each LTC6803 can measure up to 12 series
connected battery cells or supercapacitors. Many LTC6803
devices can be stacked to measure the voltage of each cell
in a long battery string. Each LTC6803-2/LTC6803-4 has
an individually addressable serial interface, allowing up
to 16 LTC6803-2/LTC6803-4 devices to interface to one
control processor and operate simultaneously. Each cell
input has an associated MOSFET switch for discharging
overcharged cells. The LTC6803-2 connects the bottom
of the stack to V
–
internally. It is pin compatible with the
LTC6802-2, providing a drop-in upgrade. The LTC6803-4
separates the bottom of the stack from V
–
, improving
cell 1 measurement accuracy.
The LTC6803 provides a standby mode to reduce supply
current to 12µA. Furthermore, the LTC6803 can be powered
from an isolated supply, providing a technique to reduce
battery stack current draw to zero.
The related LTC6803-1 and LTC6803-3 offer a serial in-
terface that allows the serial ports of multiple LTC6803-1
or LTC6803-3 devices to be daisy chained without opto-
couplers or isolators.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The ADC specifications are guaranteed by the Total Measurement
Error (V
ERR
) specification.
Note 3:
Due to the contact resistance of the production tester, this
specification is tested to relaxed limits. The 20Ω limit is guaranteed by
design.
Note 4:
V

refers to the voltage applied across Cn to Cn – 1 for
n
= 1 to 12. V
TEMP
refers to the voltage applied from V

or V
TEMP2
to V
–
.
Note 5:
These absolute maximum ratings apply provided that the voltage
between inputs do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
Note 6:
Supply current is tested during continuous measuring. The supply
current during periodic measuring (130ms, 500ms, 2s) is guaranteed by
design.
Note 7:
The CDC = 5, 6 and 7 supply currents are not measured. They are
guaranteed by the CDC = 2 supply current measurement.
Note 8:
Limit is determined by high speed automated test capability.
