The LTC6802-1 is a complete battery monitoring IC that includes a 12-bit ADC, a precision voltage reference, a high voltage input multiplexer and a serial interface. Each LTC6802-1 can measure up to 12 series connected battery cells with an input common mode voltage up to 60V. Using a unique level-shifting serial interface, multiple LTC6802-1 devices can be connected in series, without optocouplers or isolators, allowing for monitoring of every cell in a long string of series-connected batteries. |
