DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
3305
balances up to 4 lead-acid batteries
connected in series. It is intended to be used in conjunction
with a separate pre-existing battery charger as part of a
high performance battery system. All voltage monitoring,
gate drive, and fault detection circuitry is integrated.
The LTC3305 employs an auxiliary battery or an alternative
storage cell to transfer charge to or from each individual
battery in the stack. A mode pin provides two operating
modes, timer mode and continuous mode. In timer mode,
once the balancing operation is completed, the LTC3305
goes into a low power state for a programmed time and then
periodically rebalances the batteries. In continuous mode,
the balancing operation continues even after the batteries
are balanced to their programmed termination voltage.
The LTC3305 is available in a thermally enhanced 38-lead
TSSOP package.

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 LTC3305 is tested under pulsed load conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3305E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0ºC to 85ºC
junction temperature. Specifications over the –40ºC to 125ºC operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3305I is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. Note that
the maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications
is determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board
layout, the rated package thermal impedance, and other environmental
factors. The junction temperature (T
J
, in °C) is calculated from the ambient
temperature (T
A
, in °C) and power dissipation (P
D
, in Watts) according
to the formula: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• θ
JA
), where
θ
JA
(in °C/W) is the package
thermal impedance.

Note 3.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 4.
The NGATE pin currents are not included in this number.
Note 5.
The NGATE5
,
NGATE6, NGATE7 pin currents are drawn from the
BOOST pin. All other NGATE pin currents are drawn from the V4 pin. The
NGATE pin currents add to the currents drawn by V4 and BOOST.
Note 6.
The voltage programmed at the V
H
and V
L
pins are gained up to
set the undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds of each battery.
Note 7:
This IC includes overtemperature protection intended to protect
the device during momentary overload conditions. The maximum junction
temperature may be exceeded when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
