LTC6801

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

OVERVIEW

The LTC6801 is designed as an easy to implement, low-

cost battery stack monitor that provides a simple indica-

tion of correct battery stack operation without requiring

a microcontroller interface. For battery stack monitoring

with cell voltage read back and discharge circuitry, refer

to the LTC6802 battery stack monitor data sheet.

The LTC6801 contains a 12-bit ADC, a precision voltage

reference, sampled comparator, high voltage multiplexer

and timer/sequencer. During normal operation, the se-

quencer multiplexes the ADC inputs between each of the

channel input pins in turn, performing a single comparison

to the undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds. The VTEMP

inputs are also monitored for an undervoltage at a fixed

threshold of VREF/2.

The presence of a status output clock indicates the system

is “OK”. Because the status output is dynamic, it cannot

get stuck in the “OK” state.

STACKED OPERATION

Each LTC6801 monitors a group of up to 12 series con-

nected cells. Groups of cells can be connected in series

or parallel to form a large battery pack. The LTC6801s can

be daisy chained with simple capacitive or transformer

coupling. This allows every cell in a large battery pack

to be monitored with a single signal. Figure 2 illustrates

monitoring of 36 series connected cells.

To cancel systematic duty cycle distortion through the

clock buffers, it is recommended that the clock lines are

cross-coupled (EOUT goes to EIN etc.) as they route up

and down the stack as shown in Figure 2.

INDEPENDENT OPERATION

Figure 3 shows how three groups of 12 cells can be mon-

itored independently.

REGULATED OUTPUTS

A regulated voltage is provided at the VREG pin, biased from

the battery stack. The VREG pin can supply up to 4mA at

5V and may be used to power small external circuits. The

regulated output remains at 5V continually, as long as the

total stack voltage is between 10V and 50V.

A low current, precision reference voltage is provided at the

VREF pin, which can drive loads of greater than 100k. The

VREF output is high impedance when the LTC6801 is idle.

Both the VREG and VREF pins must be bypassed to V– with

a 1µF capacitor.

CONTROL INPUTS

The LTC6801 thresholds are controlled by the UV1, UV0,

OV1 and OV0 pins. These pins are designed to be tied

directly to VREG, VREF or V– in order to set the comparison

thresholds for all channels simultaneously. The pins are

not designed to be variable. In particular, changes made

to the pins while the chip is not in idle mode may result

in unpredictable behavior. See Tables 1 and 2 for setting

and threshold information.
