Product details
Overview
MAX11080GUU+ from Maxim Integrated is a 12-channel, high-voltage lithium-ion battery-pack fault monitor IC designed for series-stacked multicell battery systems. It provides overvoltage and undervoltage fault detection with ±25mV OV accuracy and ±100mV UV accuracy across –40°C to +105°C, programmable delay (3.0ms–3.32s), and daisy-chain capability supporting up to 31 devices. It is used in electric vehicle battery management systems to prevent cell damage during charge/discharge cycles.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11080GUU+ datasheet, MAX11080GUU+ pinout, MAX11080GUU+ application, or MAX11080GUU+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 38-pin TSSOP package, 6V–72V operating input range, 300mV comparator hysteresis, ultra-low 80µA operating current, and AEC-Q100 Type 2 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX11080GUU+ implements differential cell voltage monitoring with internal 4× attenuation and AGND-referenced comparators. Its OV/UV thresholds are set via dedicated pin-strapped inputs (OVSEL0–3, UVSEL0–2), with configuration latched at power-up to prevent runtime glitches.
It integrates a 3.3V linear regulator powered from DCIN (6V–72V), a charge pump generating level-shifted VDDU/GNDU for daisy-chain communication, and a CD pin-based RC-programmable alarm delay circuit with 6.1µA current source and 1.23V internal trip threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Channels | 12 independent Li+ cell inputs (C0–C12), enabling full-stack monitoring of 12-series battery packs. |
| OV Threshold Range | +3.3V to +4.8V in 100mV steps; ±25mV accuracy ensures precise overcharge protection across temperature. |
| UV Threshold Range | +1.6V to +2.8V in 200mV steps; ±100mV accuracy supports reliable deep-discharge prevention. |
| Alarm Delay Range | 3.0ms to 3.32s via external CD capacitor (15nF–16.5µF); enables configurable fault persistence filtering. |
| Operating Voltage | DCIN = 6.0V to 72V; supports wide-range battery stacks from 2S to >20S Li+ configurations. |
| Current Consumption | 80µA in operating mode; 2µA in shutdown - critical for low-quiescent BMS standby operation. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C, AEC-Q100 Type 2 qualified - suitable for under-hood and traction battery environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX11080GUU+ is housed in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 38-pin TSSOP package (9.7mm × 4.4mm, 0.5mm pitch) optimized for high-density battery module PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DCIN | Main power input | Supplies internal 3.3V regulator; accepts 6V–72V - eliminates need for external bias supply in high-voltage stacks. |
| C0–C12 | Differential cell voltage inputs | Monitor cell voltages across 12-series stack; C0 connects to AGND (cell 1 negative), C12 to top of stack (cell 12 positive). |
| OVSEL0–3 / UVSEL0–2 | Threshold configuration inputs | Pin-strapped binary inputs selecting OV/UV thresholds; latched at power-up to prevent spurious reconfiguration. |
| CD | Programmable delay timing node | Connects to external capacitor; charges at 6.1µA to 1.23V threshold - sets alarm hold time before ALRML assertion. |
| ALRML / ALRMU | Daisy-chain alarm interface | ALRML outputs heartbeat (4.096kHz) or level alarm; ALRMU receives upstream alarm signal - enables cascaded fault propagation without isolators. |
| TOPSEL | Stack position identifier | Drives VAA to indicate topmost device in daisy chain; enables automatic hierarchical fault reporting in multi-module systems. |
| SHDN | Global shutdown control | Active-low input disabling regulators, oscillators, and comparators - reduces current to 2µA for system-level power gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12-cell differential monitoring | Simultaneous real-time tracking of all cell voltages in series stacks - enables per-cell fault isolation without multiplexing overhead. |
| Daisy-chain scalability | Up to 31 devices connected serially using ALRML/ALRMU; eliminates isolated digital interfaces and reduces BOM cost per module. |
| Comparator hysteresis | 300mV (MAX11080-specific) prevents false triggering near OV/UV thresholds due to noise or transient ripple. |
| Integrated linear regulator | Generates stable 3.3V VAA from 6V–72V DCIN - removes dependency on external LDO and simplifies power architecture. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Type 2 rating (–40°C to +105°C) confirms suitability for automotive traction battery applications with stringent reliability requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery fault-monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11081GUU+ | Hysteresis reduced to 37.5mV; otherwise identical pinout, thresholds, and daisy-chain functionality. | Better suited for high-precision cell balancing where tighter OV/UV window detection is required. | Select MAX11081GUU+ when lower hysteresis improves response to marginal overvoltage events without increasing false alarms. |
| BQ7695203RGER | Integrated ADC, coulomb counter, and host interface (I²C); higher integration but no daisy-chain alarm bus. | Requires isolated communication per module; lacks native ALRML/ALRMU cascade for large stacks. | Choose BQ7695203RGER when system needs telemetry and host-controlled diagnostics instead of autonomous fault propagation. |
Compared with MAX11080GUU+, MAX11081GUU+ offers finer hysteresis resolution for sensitive fault detection, while BQ7695203RGER trades daisy-chain simplicity for richer telemetry - making MAX11080GUU+ optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability stacked-battery safety layers.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of MAX11080GUU+ devices that can be daisy-chained?
The MAX11080GUU+ supports up to 31 devices in a daisy-chain configuration using its ALRML and ALRMU pins. This architecture eliminates the need for optocouplers or digital isolators between modules, reducing system cost and board space while maintaining robust fault propagation across high-voltage battery stacks. Each MAX11080GUU+ passes or blocks the heartbeat signal based on local cell status, enabling hierarchical alarm reporting.
How does the MAX11080GUU+ achieve ±25mV overvoltage detection accuracy over temperature?
The MAX11080GUU+ achieves ±25mV overvoltage detection accuracy from –40°C to +105°C through trimmed bandgap references, matched comparator input stages, and factory calibration of threshold-setting circuitry. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range - not just at +25°C - ensuring consistent overcharge protection in automotive under-hood or outdoor energy storage environments where thermal stress is severe.
Can the undervoltage detection function be disabled on the MAX11080GUU+?
Yes, undervoltage detection on the MAX11080GUU+ can be fully disabled by setting UVSEL0, UVSEL1, and UVSEL2 to logic low (000). This configuration disables the undervoltage comparator path while preserving overvoltage monitoring and daisy-chain functionality. The setting is latched at power-up, preventing accidental re-enablement during operation - a critical feature for applications where UV faults are managed externally or not required.
What is the purpose of the CD pin on the MAX11080GUU+ and how is it configured?
The CD pin on the MAX11080GUU+ controls the programmable alarm delay time via an external capacitor (15nF–16.5µF). An internal 6.1µA current source charges the capacitor until it reaches a 1.23V threshold, triggering the ALRML alarm output. This RC-based timing allows precise, adjustable fault persistence filtering - for example, a 100nF capacitor yields ~20ms delay - ensuring transient spikes do not falsely activate safety shutdowns in noisy battery environments.
Is the MAX11080GUU+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX11080GUU+ is AEC-Q100 qualified to Type 2 standards (–40°C to +105°C), confirming its reliability for automotive use cases including electric vehicle traction batteries and hybrid powertrain energy storage. Its 38-pin TSSOP package, 72V absolute maximum DCIN rating, and integrated charge pump for level-shifted daisy-chain signaling meet stringent automotive EMC, thermal, and functional safety requirements - making it suitable for ASIL-B–capable BMS designs.
