LTC6804-1

Demonstration circuit 1941 is an isoSPI™ transceiver board, based on Linear Technology’s LTC6820. The LTC6820 provides a method of interconnecting standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) devices using a single twisted pair connection. This proprietary 2-wire interface is called isoSPI. The LTC6820 encodes SPI signals, up to 1Mbps, into a differential isoSPI signal which is transmitted via a simple pulse transformer through a twisted pair. At the other end of the twisted pair, the isoSPI signal can be translated back to SPI (using another LTC6820).

This evaluation board is obsolete and no longer recommended. The replacement board is the DC2100B-C.

Demonstration Circuit DC2100A-C is a stand-alone Active Cell Balancer for balancing up to 12 Li-Ion cells; it also is the master controller board when used with DC2100B-D slave boards for a stackable battery balancing solution. It consists of the LTC6804-2 Multicell Addressable Battery Stack Monitor and two LTC3300-1 Active Cell Balancers. It contains a PIC18F47J53 microcontroller, the LTM2884 Isolated USB Transceiver, and an LTC6820 isoSPI Interface IC to facilitate isolated communication with the LTC6804-2 and the LTC3300-1 ICs. Up to 7 DC2100B-D boards can be connected to the DC2100A-C to build a stacked system of 8 total boards.
