Vin6 to
Vin0
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 6. Analog input 0 should be connected to the base of the series connected
battery cells. Analog Input 1 should be connected to the top of cell 1, Analog Input 2 should be connected to
the top of cell 2, etc. The Analog Inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold allowing the potential
across each cell to be measured.

CB6 to CB1 Cell Balance Outputs. These provide a voltage output which can be used to supply the gate drives of a cell
balancing transistor network. Each CB(n) output provides a 5V voltage output referenced to the absolute
voltage of Cell(n-1).
14
MASTER
Voltage Input. In an application with 2 or more AD7280s Daisy Chained the MASTER pin of the AD7280
connected directly to the DSP or uP should be connected to the VDD supply pin through a 10kOhm resistor. The
MASTER pin on the remaining AD7280s in the application should be tied to their respective VSS supply pins
through 10kOhm resistors.
15
16
PD
Power down Input. This input is used to power down the AD7280. When acting as master the PD input is
supplied from the DSP/uP. When acting as a slave on the Daisy Chain the PD input should be connected to the
PDhi output of the AD7280 immediately below it in potential in the Daisy Chain.
VDD
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the high voltage analog input structure
AD7280. The supply must be greater than a minimum voltage of 7.5 V. In an application monitoring the cell
voltages of up to 6 series connected battery cells the supply voltage may be supplied directly from the cell with
the highest potential. The maximum voltage which can be applied between VDD and VSS is 30V. Place 10 µF and
100 nF decoupling capacitors on the VDD pin.
17
18
VSS
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the high voltage analog input structure
of the AD7280. This input should be at the same potential as the AGND voltage.
Analog Voltage output, 5V. The internally generated VREG voltage, which provides the supply voltage for the
ADC core, is available on this pin for use external to the AD7280. Place 10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors
on the VREG pin.

DVCC
Digital Supply Voltage, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The DVCC and AVCC voltages should ideally be at the same potential.
For best performance, it is recommended that the DVCC and AVCC pins be shorted together, to ensure that the
voltage difference between them never exceeds 0.3 V even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled
to DGND. Place 100 nF decoupling capacitors on the DVCC pin. The DVCC supply pin should be connected to the
V
REG output
DGND
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7280. The DGND and AGND voltages
should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.
