Description
The ISL78600 is a Li-ion battery manager IC that supervises up to 12 series connected cells. The part performs accurate monitoring, cell balancing and extensive system diagnostics functions. Three cell balancing modes are provided: Manual Balance mode, Timed Balance mode, and Auto Balance mode, which terminates balancing functions when a (host microcontroller specified) charge transfer value has been met.
The ISL78600 communicates to a host microcontroller via an SPI interface and to other ISL78600 devices using a robust, proprietary, two-wire Daisy Chain system.
The ISL78600 is offered in a 64 Ld TQFP package and is specified for operation at a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
Applications
- Hybrid vehicle battery packs
