Product details
Overview
LTC6801HG#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-temperature automotive-grade multicell battery stack fault monitor IC designed for standalone overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature detection in Li-ion battery systems. It monitors up to 12 series-connected cells (60V max), delivers ±1% OV/UV detection level error, supports daisy-chained stackable architecture for >1000V systems, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It enables microcontroller-free monitoring in hybrid electric vehicles and redundant battery backup systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6801HG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6801HG#TRPBF pinout, LTC6801HG#TRPBF application, or LTC6801HG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 36-lead SSOP package, differential clocking for noise immunity, pin-strapped configuration (OV0/OV1/UV0/UV1/HYST/CC0/CC1), 15.5ms full-cell measurement cycle, and dual temperature input support with VREF/2 threshold.
Technical Context
The LTC6801HG#TRPBF integrates a 12-bit ADC, precision voltage reference (3.058V typ), sampled comparator, and high-voltage multiplexer to perform simultaneous cell voltage and temperature monitoring without host intervention. Its self-test logic guarantees accuracy, and differential EIN/EIN enable inputs ensure robust operation in noisy high-voltage environments.
It uses three-level digital inputs (OV0/OV1/UV0/UV1/HYST/DC/CC0/CC1) tied to VREG/VREF/V– to configure thresholds, hysteresis, cell count (4–12), and duty cycle (15.5ms/130ms/500ms). Status output SOUT/SOUT toggles only when all monitored parameters are within limits - a dynamic "OK" signal that cannot freeze in fault conditions.

Pinout & Package
Package: 36-lead plastic SSOP (G package), 0.025" pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, θJA = 70°C/W, TJMAX = 150°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (1) | High-side supply rail | Connected to top of monitored battery stack (e.g., C12 node); supports up to 60V total stack voltage. |
| C12–C1 (2–13) | Cell voltage inputs | Differential inputs for 12-series cell monitoring; internal clamping protects against reverse bias and overvoltage transients. |
| V– (14) | Low-side reference | Connected to bottom of monitored stack (cell negative); serves as common-mode reference for all Cn and temperature inputs. |
| VTEMP1/VTEMP2 (15–16) | Temperature sensor inputs | Measure thermistor divider voltage relative to V–; fixed UV threshold at VREF/2 enables simple thermal fault detection. |
| VREF (17) | Precision reference output | 3.058V ±10mV source for ADC and temperature sensing; requires 1µF bypass to V–; high-impedance in idle mode. |
| VREG (18) | Regulated 5V output | Stable 5V supply for external logic; delivers up to 1mA; remains active continuously if V+ is 10–50V. |
| EIN/EIN (19–20) | Differential enable input | Accepts 2–40kHz square wave; enables monitoring only when valid differential clock is present - prevents false "OK" status. |
| SOUT/SOUT (21–22) | Differential status output | Toggles at EIN frequency only when all cells and temps are within thresholds; fails-safe design asserts low/high on fault. |
| SIN/SIN (23–24) | Differential status input | Receives SOUT/SOUT from upstream device in stacked configuration; enables daisy-chained fault propagation without isolators. |
| EOUT/EOUT (25–26) | Buffered enable output | Capacitively couples EIN/EIN signal to next higher-voltage LTC6801; supports >1000V stack scalability. |
| DC (27) | Duty cycle select | Three-level input (VREG/VREF/V–) sets measurement interval: 15.5ms / ~130ms / ~500ms - optimizes power vs. responsiveness. |
| SLTOK (28) | Self-test logic output | Open-drain output pulled high on successful self-test; goes low on failure - provides hardware-verified functional integrity. |
| SLT (29) | Self-test trigger | Open-collector input/output; pulling low initiates self-test; internal pull-up to VREG enables autonomous 1024-cycle self-test. |
| CC0/CC1 (30–31) | Cell count select | Three-level inputs set monitored cell count (4–12); avoids unused channel noise and reduces measurement overhead. |
| HYST (32) | Hysteresis select | Three-level input configures UV/OV hysteresis (0/250mV/500mV UV, 0/100mV/200mV OV) to prevent chatter near thresholds. |
| UV0/UV1 (33–34) | Undervoltage threshold | Three-level inputs select 9 UV thresholds (0.766V–2.871V); supports diverse Li-ion chemistries and aging compensation. |
| OV0/OV1 (35–36) | Overvoltage threshold | Three-level inputs select 9 OV thresholds (3.733V–4.498V); enables precise cell balancing trigger points. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum battery stack voltage supported by the LTC6801HG#TRPBF?
The LTC6801HG#TRPBF supports a total supply voltage (V+ to V–) of up to 60V per device. When multiple LTC6801HG#TRPBF units are daisy-chained in stacked configuration using differential SIN/SOUT and EIN/EOUT signaling, the system can monitor battery strings exceeding 1000V - limited only by isolation and layout constraints, not by the IC itself.
How does the LTC6801HG#TRPBF indicate a fault condition?
The LTC6801HG#TRPBF indicates a fault by halting the differential clock output: SOUT is driven low and SOUT is driven high. This occurs immediately upon detection of any out-of-threshold condition - including overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature (VTEMP1/VTEMP2 < VREF/2), or invalid enable signal - ensuring no "stuck-at-good" failure mode.
Can the LTC6801HG#TRPBF operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes, the LTC6801HG#TRPBF is explicitly designed for microcontroller-free operation. All configuration (OV/UV thresholds, hysteresis, cell count, duty cycle) is performed via pin strapping (OV0/OV1/UV0/UV1/HYST/DC/CC0/CC1), and status is conveyed solely through the differential SOUT/SOUT clock output - eliminating firmware dependencies.
What is the purpose of the SLT and SLTOK pins on the LTC6801HG#TRPBF?
The SLT (Self-Test) pin is an open-collector input/output that initiates a hardware self-test cycle when pulled low; SLTOK (Self-Test OK) is an open-drain output that remains high only after successful completion of that self-test. Together, they provide verifiable functional integrity - a critical requirement for ISO 26262-compliant battery monitoring.
Does the LTC6801HG#TRPBF support temperature monitoring, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC6801HG#TRPBF supports two independent temperature inputs (VTEMP1 and VTEMP2), each compared to a fixed threshold of VREF/2 (~1.53V). When either input falls below this level, it triggers an undervoltage flag - enabling simple, resistor-thermistor networks for hotspot detection without additional ADC resources.
