Multicell Battery Monitors

DescripTion

The
LTC
6804
is a 3rd generation multicell battery stack
®
monitor that measures up to 12 series connected battery
cells with a total measurement error of less than 1.2mV. The
cell measurement range of 0V to 5V makes the LTC6804
suitable for most battery chemistries. All 12 cell voltages
can be captured in 290µs, and lower data acquisition rates
can be selected for high noise reduction.
Multiple LTC6804 devices can be connected in series,
permitting simultaneous cell monitoring of long, high volt-
age battery strings. Each LTC6804 has an isoSPI interface
for high speed, RF-immune, local area communications.
Using the LTC6804-1, multiple devices are connected in
a daisy-chain with one host processor connection for all
devices. Using the LTC6804-2, multiple devices are con-
nected in parallel to the host processor, with each device
individually addressed.
Additional features include passive balancing for each cell,
an onboard 5V regulator, and 5 general purpose I/O lines.
In sleep mode, current consumption is reduced to 4µA.
The LTC6804 can be powered directly from the battery,
or from an isolated supply.
