DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
6813-1
is a multicell battery stack monitor that
measures up to 18 series connected battery cells with
a total measurement error of less than 2.2mV. The cell
measurement range of 0V to 5V makes the LTC6813-1
suitable for most battery chemistries. All 18 cells can be
measured in 290µs, and lower data acquisition rates can
be selected for high noise reduction.
Multiple LTC6813-1 devices can be connected in series,
permitting simultaneous cell monitoring of long, high
voltage battery strings. Each LTC6813-1 has an isoSPI
interface for high speed, RF immune, long distance com-
munications. Multiple devices are connected in a daisy
chain with one host processor connection for all devices.
This daisy chain can be operated bidirectionally, ensuring
communication integrity, even in the event of a fault along
the communication path.
The LTC6813-1 can be powered directly from the battery
stack or from an isolated supply. The LTC6813-1 includes
passive balancing for each cell, with individual PWM duty
cycle control for each cell. Other features include an on-
board 5V regulator, nine general purpose I/O lines and a
sleep mode, where current consumption is reduced to 6µA.
