FeaTures DescripTion
2.5A Monolithic Active Cell
Balancer with Telemetry Interface
The LT
®
8584 is a monolithic flyback DC/DC converter de-
signed to actively
balance high voltage stacks of batteries.
The high efficiency of a switching regulator significantly
increases the achievable balancing current while reducing
heat generation. Active balancing also allows for capacity re
-
covery in stacks
of mismatched batteries, a feat unattainable
with passive balance systems. In a typical system, greater
than 99% of the total battery capacity can be recovered.
The LT8584 includes an integrated 6A, 50V power switch,
reducing the design complexity of the application circuit.
The part runs completely off of the cell which it is discharg
-
ing, removing the need for complicated biasing schemes
commonly required for external power switches. The enable
pin (D
IN
) of the part is designed to work seamlessly with
the LTC680x family of battery stack voltage monitoring
ICs. The LT8584 also provides system telemetry including
current and temperature monitoring when used with the
LTC680x family of parts. When the LT8584 is disabled, less
than 20nA of total quiescent current is typically consumed
from the battery.
