Precision analogue front end and controller monitors battery cells
Internal laser trimmed resistor networks set the gains for the IA and the DA, optimising the performance of the AD8451 over the rated temperature range. The IA gain is 26 and the DA gain is 0.8. Voltages at the ISET and VSET inputs set the desired constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) values. CC to CV switching is automatic and transparent to the system.
A TTL logic level input, MODE, selects the charge or discharge mode (high for charge, low for discharge). An analog output, VCTRL, interfaces directly with Analog Devices’ ADP1972 PWM controller.
The AD8451 simplifies designs by providing accuracy, performance over temperature, flexibility with functionality, and overall reliability in a space-saving package. It comes in an 80-lead, 14 × 14 × 1 mm LQFP package and is rated for an operating temperature of −40°C to +85°C.
