The LTC6810 is a multicell battery stack monitor. The LTC6810 measures up to 6 series-connected battery cells with a total measurement error of less than 1.8mV. The cell measurement range of 0V to 5V makes the LTC6810 suitable for most battery chemistries. All 6 cells can be measured in 290µs, and lower data acquisition rates can be selected for high noise reduction.

Multiple LTC6810-1 devices can be connected in series, permitting simultaneous cell monitoring of long, high voltage battery strings. Each LTC6810 has an isoSPI interface for high speed, RF-immune, long distance communications. Using the LTC6810-1, multiple devices are connected in a daisy chain with one host processor connection for all devices. The LTC6810-1 supports bidirectional operation, allowing communication even with a broken wire. Using the LTC6810-2, multiple devices are connected in parallel to the host processor, with each device individually addressed.

The LTC6810 can be powered directly from the battery stack or from an isolated supply. The LTC6810 includes passive balancing for each cell, with PWM duty cycle control for each cell and the ability to perform redundant cell measurements. Other features include an onboard 5V regulator, 4 general purpose I/O lines and a sleep mode in which current consumption is reduced to 4µA.

LTC6810-1 Demo Board | 6-Channel Battery-Stack Monitor with Daisy-Chain Interface

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2515B features the LTC6810-1, a 6-channel battery-stack monitor. Multiple boards can be linked through a 2-wire isolated serial interface (isoSPI) to monitor a long series of cells in a stack. The DC2515B demo board also features reversible isoSPI enabling a redundant communication path. The PCB, components, and DuraClik connectors are optimized for Low EMI Susceptibility and Emissions.

The DC2515B can communicate to a PC by connecting a DC2792B dual master isoSPI together with DC2026 Linduino® One. The DC2026 must be loaded with the appropriate program (called a sketch) to control the battery stack monitor IC and receive data through a USB serial port. The DC2026C provides a standard SPI interface which can be translated to isoSPI and then connected to a DC2515B isoSPI port (J4 or J5 connector). The DC2792B companion board provides two SPI-isoSPI channels for reversible operation.

DC2792B

LTC6820 Demo Board | Dual Master isoSPI Adapter

Product Details

The demonstration circuit DC2792B is an SPI serial to dual-port isoSPI adapter that uses a pair of multiplexed LTC6820 isoSPI transceivers and miniaturized isoSPI connectors (2 contact DuraClik). The board can functionally replace a DC1941 in cases where isoSPI battery-management (BMS) devices are being evaluated, but provides a second isoSPI master to exercise the reversible isoSPI feature where available. The SPI interface can be provided via the legacy 14-contact ribbon cable from either a DC590 or DC2026 USB adapter, or directly installed on the DC2026 as a Linduino shield. The two isoSPI ports are MAIN and AUXiliary, with activity of each indicated by blue LEDs. For use in place of DC1941 or non-reversible isoSPI networks, the MAIN port must be used. Power for the DC2792B comes indirectly from the USB port of the host computer, via the USB to serial adapter being used.

Product Details

This evaluation board is obsolete and no longer recommended. The replacement board is the DC2515B.

Demonstration circuit 2515A includes the LTC6810-1, a 6 channel battery-stack monitor. Multiple DC2515A boards can be linked through a 2-wire isolated serial interface (isoSPI) to monitor a long series of cells in a stack.

The DC2515 can communicate to a PC by connecting directly to a DC2026 Linduino® One. The DC2026 must be loaded with the appropriate program (called a “sketch”) to control the battery stack monitor IC and receive data through a USB serial port. The DC2026C provides a standard SPI interface which can be connected directly to a DC2515 board (J4 Connector). Or, the SPI can be translated to isoSPI and then connected to a DC2515 isoSPI port (J2/J1 connector). The DC1941 provides a single SPI-isoSPI channel, and the DC2792 provides two SPIisoSPI channels for reversible operation.
