ISL78610EVKIT1Z
Evaluation Kit User Guide
Description
The ISL78610EVKIT1Z is a kit that facilitates testing of the
ISL78610
Li-ion battery pack analog front-end ICs. The
ISL78610 monitors cell voltage and temperature. It converts
the cell voltages and temperatures to 14-bit digital values,
provides cell balance control, and provides significant fault
detection. The ISL78610 also contains daisy chain hardware to
provide robust, redundant, board-to-board communications.
The evaluation kit can be used as a stand-alone monitor or
combined with additional boards to create a daisy chained
application. One board, operating alone, allows testing of up to
12-cell series-connected Li-ion battery packs, using a standard
USB interface to a PC. Up to 14 boards cascade - with daisy
chain communication from board-to-board to test systems with
up to 168 cells.
Specifications
This board has been configured and optimized for the following
operating conditions:
• V
= 6V to 60V
BAT
• V
daisy chain = 10V to 60V
BAT
• VCn (for n = 1 to 12) = V(VCn-1) to V(VCn-1) + 5V
• CBn (for n = 1 to 9) = V(VCn-1) to V(VCn-1) + 9V
• CBn (for n = 10 to 12) = V(VCn) -9V to V(VCn)
• External inputs ExT1 to ExT4 = 0V to 2.5V (external
temperature measurement thermistors on board)
