GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8280 is a hardware-only safety monitor for lithium ion
battery stacks. The part has inputs to monitor six battery cells
and two temperature sensors (either NTC or PTC thermistors).
The part is designed to be daisy-chained with other AD8280
devices to monitor a stack of significantly more than six cells
without the need for numerous isolators. Its output can be con-
figured for an independent or shared alarm state.
The AD8280 functions independently from a primary monitor
and contains its own reference and LDO, both of which are
powered completely from the battery cell stack. The reference, in
conjunction with external resistor dividers, is used to establish
trip points for the overvoltages and undervoltages. Each cell
channel contains programmable deglitching circuitry to prevent
alarms from transient input levels.
The AD8280 also has two digital pins that can be used to select
various combinations of inputs in the case where fewer than six
cells are to be monitored. Most important, it has a self-test feature,
making it suitable for high reliability applications, such as auto-
motive hybrid electric vehicles or higher voltage industrial usage,
such as uninterruptible power supplies. The AD8280 can function
over a temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
