GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADBMS68211 (single) and ADBMS68221 (dual) provide bidir-
ectional isolated serial port interface (isoSPI ) communications
►
32-lead, side solderable LFCSP
™
► AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications
between two isolated devices through a single twisted pair connec-
tion for each data link. Each transceiver encodes logic states into
signals that are transmitted across an isolation barrier to another
transceiver. The receiving device decodes the transmission and
drives the slave bus to the appropriate logic states. The isolation
barrier can be bridged by capacitors or by a pulse transformer to
achieve hundreds of volts of isolation.
APPLICATIONS
► Electric and hybrid electric vehicles
► Backup battery systems
► Industrial networking
► Remote sensors
The ADBMS6821/ADBMS6822 transceivers drive differential sig-
nals using matched source and sink currents, eliminating the re-
quirement for a transformer center tap and reducing electromagnet-
ic interference (EMI). Precision window comparators in the receiver
detect the differential signals.
The transceivers can be paired with advanced Analog Devices,
Inc., battery stack monitors to enable cell voltage and sensor moni-
toring even while the system controller is powered down (low power
cell monitoring, or LPCM). The transceivers provide a timeout
function that wake up or alert the system when a pass heartbeat
message has not been received in the programmed time period.
Throughout this data sheet, all pin names refer to both transceivers
on the ADBMS6822. For example, VDD refers to both VDD and
VDD2.
