The ISL78600 Li-ion battery manager IC supervises up to
12 series-connected cells. The part provides accurate
monitoring, cell balancing, and extensive system diagnostics
functions. Three cell balancing modes are incorporated:
Manual Balance mode, Timed Balance mode, and Auto
Balance mode. The Auto Balance mode terminates balancing
functions when a charge transfer value specified by the host
microcontroller has been met.
Features
• Up to 12-cell voltage monitors with support forLi-ion CoO ,
2
Li-ion Mn O , and Li-ion FePO4 chemistries

• Board level cell voltage measurement accuracy ±1.5mV
• 13-bit cell voltage measurement
• Pack voltage measurement accuracy ±100mV
• 14-bit pack voltage and temperature measurements
The ISL78600 communicates to a host microcontroller
through an SPI interface and to other ISL78600 devices using
a robust, proprietary, two-wire daisy chain system.
• Cell voltage scan rate of 19.5µs per cell (234µs to scan
12 cells)
• Internal and external temperature monitoring
• Up to four external temperature inputs
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.
• Robust daisy chain communications system
• Integrated system diagnostics for all key internal functions
• Hardwired and communications based fault notification
Applications
• Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
(PHEV), and Electric Vehicle (EV) battery packs
• Integrated watchdog shuts down device if communication is
lost
• Electric motorcycle battery packs
• Backup battery and energy storage systems requiring high
accuracy management and monitoring
• 2Mbps SPI
• AEC-Q100 qualified
• Portable and semiportable equipment
