Description
Demonstration circuit 1469B is a multicell Li-Ion battery
monitor featuring the
LTC
®
detects individual over- and undervoltage conditions
on up to 12 series connected lithium-ion cells and two
temperature limits using suitable sensors. Pin-strapping
establishes the cell count to monitor, the threshold for
OV, threshold for UV, alarm hysteresis, and measurement
interval. A square wave is used to excite the alarm circuit,
and a returned signal duplicates this if no alarms are pres-
ent, but returns a static signal when a fault condition is
present. The circuit also provides a means of cascading
performance summary

DEMO MANUAL DC1469B
Multicell Li-Ion Battery
numerous monitors together so that very large series con-
nected arrays of cells can be monitored simultaneously.
Additional support features are provided on the demo
circuit, including a digital excitation source and an alarm
indicator LED, so that standalone evaluations can be per-
formed. Jumpers are provided to provide for local signal
loop back and to activate the desired support circuits.
The following table indicates the performance and control
ranges of the LTC6801.
