Product details
Overview
LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-temperature, 12-cell battery monitor IC with integrated delta-sigma ADC, precision 3.065V reference, passive cell balancing MOSFETs, and individually addressable SPI interface. It supports up to 16 daisy-chained devices, achieves ±2.8 mV total measurement error at 3.6V, operates from –40°C to 125°C, and delivers 13 ms full-stack conversion - used in electric vehicle battery management systems requiring ISO 26262 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF pinout, LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF application, or LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its Kelvin-connected C0 input for improved Cell 1 accuracy, 20 Ω internal discharge FET on-resistance, 12 µA standby current, 44-lead SSOP package, and support for supercapacitor/fuel cell stacks with negative voltage tolerance.
Technical Context
The LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF implements a 12-bit delta-sigma ADC with built-in noise filtering and 8 ppm/°C reference drift, enabling 0.25% maximum total measurement error across –40°C to 125°C. Its multiplexer architecture sequentially samples C0–C12 with programmable conversion duty cycle (CDC = 1–7), supporting continuous or periodic measurement modes.
It features isolated serial communication via SPI-compatible SDO/SDI/SCKI/CSBI pins, 4-bit hardware address (A0–A3), open-drain WDTB output with 1–2.5 s timeout, and dual thermistor inputs (VTEMP1/VTEMP2) referenced to VREF. The C0–V– Kelvin separation eliminates PCB trace IR drop impact on bottom-cell measurement.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF and LTC6803HG-2#TRPBF?
The LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF features a dedicated C0 pin for Kelvin connection to the bottom cell's negative terminal, separating it from the V– supply reference. In contrast, the LTC6803HG-2#TRPBF internally connects C0 to V–. This architectural difference improves Cell 1 measurement accuracy by eliminating PCB trace resistance error and enhances noise immunity in high-EMI environments - critical for precision BMS applications.
Does LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF support supercapacitor monitoring?
Yes, LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF supports supercapacitor monitoring. Its C0 input accepts voltages down to –0.3 V relative to V–, enabling accurate measurement of supercapacitor cells that may exhibit near-zero or slightly negative voltages during deep discharge. Combined with its 0–5 V input range for C0/C1 and 1.8–5×n V range for upper cells, it accommodates wide-voltage-range energy storage devices without external signal conditioning.
What is the maximum number of LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF devices that can be daisy-chained on a single SPI bus?
Up to 16 LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF devices can be connected to a single SPI bus using individual addressing via the A0–A3 pins. Each device is assigned a unique 4-bit hardware address (0–15), allowing independent read/write access without daisy-chain timing constraints or opto-isolator latency - unlike legacy daisy-chain-only architectures.
How does the open-wire detection feature work in LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF performs open-wire detection by sourcing 110 µA from each cell input (Cn) into the adjacent input (Cn–1) during initialization. It measures the resulting voltage drop across the interconnect; a missing or high-resistance connection yields a deviation beyond threshold, flagging the fault in the status register. This occurs automatically before cell voltage conversion begins.
Can LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF operate without an external microcontroller?
No, LTC6803HG-4#TRPBF cannot operate autonomously. It requires an external host processor to configure registers, initiate conversions, read results, and control balancing FETs via SPI commands. While it includes a watchdog timer and built-in self-tests, all decision-making - including overvoltage/undervoltage response and balancing activation - resides in the host firmware.
