Product details
Overview
LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a fault-protected bidirectional multicell battery balancer controller IC for transformer-based active balancing of up to 6 series Li-ion or LiFePO4 cells per device, supporting input common-mode voltage up to 36V, 92% charge transfer efficiency, and daisy-chainable 1MHz SPI-compatible serial interface with 4-bit CRC.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF pinout, LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF application, or LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world balancing use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-ready procurement details - all grounded in the Rev. C datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF implements synchronous flyback topology with independent primary and secondary gate drivers (G1P–G6P and G1S–G6S), precision current sensing on both windings (I1P–I6P, I1S–I6S), and programmable maximum on-time via RTONP/RTONS resistors. It supports two operational modes: single-transformer (CTRL = VREG) and multi-transformer (CTRL = V–).
Its level-shifting serial interface enables true galvanically isolated daisy-chaining without optocouplers - CSBI/SCKI/SDI inputs accept signals referenced to local V– while CSBO/SCKO/SDOI outputs drive the next device's inputs - enabling >1000V battery stacks with concurrent cell-by-cell balancing across all LTC3300-1 devices in the chain.

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead (7mm × 7mm) plastic eLQFP (LXE), exposed pad connected to V–, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G1P–G6P (Pins 23,26,29,32,35,38) | Primary-side NMOS gate drivers | Drive external FETs in series with transformer primaries paralleling cells C1–C6; support bidirectional energy flow during charge/discharge balancing. |
| I1P–I6P (Pins 22,25,28,31,34,37) | Primary winding current sense inputs | Measure peak/zero current on primary side with 50mV ±1.7% matching - critical for accurate per-cell balancing current regulation. |
| G1S–G6S (Pins 1,3,5,7,9,11) | Secondary-side NMOS gate drivers | In multi-transformer mode, drive FETs on secondary windings; in single-transformer mode (CTRL = VREG), only G1S is active - others are NC or tied to V–. |
| I1S–I6S (Pins 2,4,6,8,10,12) | Secondary winding current sense inputs | Enable high-accuracy current monitoring on secondary side with 50mV ±0.5% matching - essential for safe, efficient inter-cell energy transfer. |
| CSBI/SCKI/SDI (Pins 16,17,18) | Level-shifted serial input interface | Accept logic signals referenced to local V–; enable optocoupler-free daisy chaining when VMODE = V– - eliminates isolation components and board space. |
| CSBO/SCKO/SDOI (Pins 45,44,43) | Level-shifted serial output interface | Drive next device's CSBI/SCKI/SDI with rail-to-rail swing - maintains signal integrity across long chains without repeaters. |
| RTONP/RTONS (Pins 14,13) | Max on-time programming inputs | Resistor-to-V– sets tONP|MAX = 7.2µs (±1%) and tONS|MAX = 1.2µs (±1%) - prevents destructive current runaway during current-sense resistor faults. |
| WDT (Pin 20) | Watchdog timer output | Precision current source (80µA typ.) pulls low during valid communication/balancing; goes high after 1.5s timeout - forces all balancers off on command loss or fault. |

FAQ
What is the maximum balancing current supported by the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF?
The LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF itself does not set the balancing current limit - it controls external NMOS FETs and transformers. The datasheet confirms support for up to 10A balancing current when paired with appropriately rated external components, as demonstrated on the DC2064A demo board operating at 2.5A with 92% efficiency. Designers select MOSFETs, transformers, and sense resistors to achieve the target current.
Does the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF require external transformers for operation?
Yes, the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF requires external transformers for bidirectional energy transfer. It drives external NMOS FETs on both primary (cell-parallel) and secondary (multi-cell-stack) windings. The datasheet explicitly states "uses simple 2-winding transformers" and provides design guidelines for turns ratio, saturation current, and leakage inductance - no transformerless operation is supported.
How does the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF achieve galvanic isolation between daisy-chained devices?
The LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF achieves galvanic isolation through its level-shifting serial interface: CSBI/SCKI/SDI accept logic signals referenced to local V–, while CSBO/SCKO/SDOI drive the next device's inputs with rail-to-rail swing referenced to *that* device's V–. This eliminates the need for optocouplers or isolators - confirmed in the "Daisy-Chainable Serial Interface" section of the datasheet Rev. C.
Is the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF pin-compatible with the QFN-packaged LTC3300IUK-1#PBF?
No, the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF (48-lead eLQFP) is not pin-compatible with the LTC3300IUK-1#PBF (48-lead QFN). Although both have 48 leads and share identical pin functions, their physical pinouts differ - the LQFP layout places pins in a perimeter arrangement with different numbering and spacing than the QFN's bottom-exposed pad configuration. PCB redesign is required for package substitution.
What fault protection mechanisms are integrated into the LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF?
The LTC3300ILXE-1#PBF integrates multiple hardware-level fault protections: overvoltage shutdown (VCELL|MAX = 5.0V), thermal shutdown (155°C), CRC error detection on serial commands, readback verification of register writes, volt-second clamping on gate drivers, and programmable maximum on-time (tONP|MAX/tONS|MAX) to prevent current runaway during current-sense resistor faults - all specified in the Rev. C datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
