LTC6801 multicell battery monitoring chip |
|
The LTC6801 introduced by Linear Technology is a multicell battery monitoring chip . The LTC6801 incorporate a 12-bit ADC, a precision independent voltage reference, sampled comparator, and a high voltage input multiplexer. The LTC6801 can monitor 12 series connected battery cells for overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature conditions . Each LTC6801 can operate with a battery stack voltage up to 60V .
Main features of the LTC6801 main features are : monitors up to 12 Li-Ion cells in series (60V Max) , Stackable Architecture Enables > 1000V Systems , adjustable overvoltage and undervoltage detection , simple pin-strapped configuration allows battery monitoring without a microcontroller , 15ms to monitor all cells in a system , programmable response time , two temperature monitor inputs , low power idle mode .
