Internal Protection Diodes
Each pin of the LTC6803 has protection diodes to help
prevent damage to the internal device structures caused
by external application of voltages beyond the supply rails
as shown in Figure 13. The diodes shown are conventional
silicon diodes with a forward breakdown voltage of 0.5V.
The unlabeled Zener diode structures have a reverse
breakdown characteristic which initially breaks down at
12V then snaps back to a 7V clamping potential. The Zener
diodes labeled Z
initial reverse breakdown of 30V snapping back to 25V.
The forward voltage drop of all Zeners is 0.5V. Refer to
this diagram in the event of unpredictable voltage clamp-
ing or current flow. Limiting the current flow at any pin to
±10mA will prevent damage to the IC.
READING EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE PROBES
The LTC6803 includes two channels of ADC input, V
and V
(tempco about –4%/°C generally) or diodes (–2.2mV/°C
typical) located within the cell array. Sensors can be
powered directly from V
60µA total).

DESIGN MITIGATION
Clamp diodes at each pin to V
alternate power path
Zener diodes across each cell voltage input pair (within IC) limits
stress
Separate power may be provided by a local supply
The device will enter standby mode within 2 seconds of
disconnect. Discharge switches are disabled in standby mode
Use digital isolators to isolate the LTC6803-2/LTC6803-4 serial
port from other LTC6803-2/LTC6803-4 serial ports
Add parallel Schottky diodes across each cell for load-path
redundancy. Diode and connections must handle full operating
current of stack, will limit stress on IC
Add SCR across each cell for charge-path redundancy. SCR and
connections must handle full charging current of stack, will limit
stress on IC by selection of trigger Zener
, that are intended to monitor thermistors
