LTC3300-2
Addressable High Efficiency
Bidirectional Multicell
Battery Balancer
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3300-2 is a fault-protected controller IC for
transformer-based bidirectional active balancing of multi-
cell battery stacks. All associated gate drive circuitry,
precision current sensing, fault detection circuitry and a
robust serial interface with built-in watchdog timer are
integrated.
Each LTC3300-2 can balance up to 6 series-connected
battery cells with an input common mode voltage up to
36V. Charge from any selected cell can be transferred at
high efficiency to or from 12 or more adjacent cells. Each
LTC3300-2 has an individually addressable serial interface,
allowing up to 32 LTC3300-2 devices to interface to one
control processor.
Fault protection features include readback capability, cy-
clic redundancy check (CRC) error detection, maximum
on-time volt-second clamps, and overvoltage shutoffs.
The related LTC3300-1 offers a serial interface that allows
the serial ports of multiple LTC3300-1 devices to be daisy-
chained without opto-couplers or isolators.
