Lithium Ion Battery Monitoring  
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Monitoring  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The AD72801 contains all the functions required for general  
purpose monitoring of stacked Lithium Ion batteries as used in  
Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The part has multiplexed analog input  
and temperature measurement channels for up to six cells of  
battery management. An internal 3-ppm reference is provided  
to drive the ADC. The ADC resolution is 12 bits with a 1 Msps  
throughput rate offering a 1µs conversion time.  
The AD7280 also includes an Alert function which generates an  
interrupt output signal if the cell voltages exceed an upper or  
lower limit defined by the user. The AD7280 has balancing  
interface outputs designed to control external FET transistors to  
allow discharging of individual cells.  
The AD7280 includes a Built In Self Test feature which  
internally applies a known voltage to the ADC inputs.  
The AD7280 operates from just one VDD supply which has a  
range of 7.5V to 30V (with an absolute max rating of 33V). The  
part provides 6 pseudo differential analog input channels to  
accommodate large common mode signals across the full VDD  
range. Each channel allows an input signal range, Vin(+) --  
Vin(-), of 0V to 5V. The input pins assume a series stack of 6  
cells. In addition the part can accommodate 6 external sensors  
for temperature measurement.  
There is a daisy chain interface which allows up to 50 parts to  
be stacked without the need for individual device isolation.  
The AD7280 requires only one supply pin which takes 7mA  
under normal operation, while converting at 1 Msps.  
All this functionality is provided in a 48 pin LQFP or 48 pin  
LFCSP package operating over a temperature range of −40°C to  
+105°C.  
The AD7280 includes on chip registers which allow a sequence  
of channel measurements to be programmed to suit the  
applications requirements.

Vin6 to  
Vin0  
Analog Input 0 to Analog Input 6. Analog input 0 should be connected to the base of the series connected  
battery cells. Analog Input 1 should be connected to the top of cell 1, Analog Input 2 should be connected to  
the top of cell 2, etc. The Analog Inputs are multiplexed into the on-chip track-and-hold allowing the potential  
across each cell to be measured.  
2, 4, 6, 8,  
10, 12  
CB6 to CB1 Cell Balance Outputs. These provide a voltage output which can be used to supply the gate drives of a cell  
balancing transistor network. Each CB(n) output provides a 5V voltage output referenced to the absolute  
voltage of Cell(n-1).  
14  
MASTER  
Voltage Input. In an application with 2 or more AD7280s Daisy Chained the MASTER pin of the AD7280  
connected directly to the DSP or uP should be connected to the VDD supply pin through a 10kOhm resistor. The  
MASTER pin on the remaining AD7280s in the application should be tied to their respective VSS supply pins  
through 10kOhm resistors.  
15  
PD  
Power down Input. This input is used to power down the AD7280. When acting as master the PD input is  
supplied from the DSP/uP. When acting as a slave on the Daisy Chain the PD input should be connected to the  
PDhi output of the AD7280 immediately below it in potential in the Daisy Chain. This input can also be tied to  
V
CC and the power down initiated through the serial interface.  
16  
VDD  
Positive Power Supply Voltage. This is the positive supply voltage for the high voltage analog input structure  
AD7280. The supply must be greater than a minimum voltage of 7.5 V. In an application monitoring the cell  
voltages of up to 6 series connected battery cells the supply voltage may be supplied directly from the cell with  
the highest potential. The maximum voltage which can be applied between VDD and VSS is 30V. Place 10 µF and  
100 nF decoupling capacitors on the VDD pin.  
17  
18  
VSS  
Negative Power Supply Voltage. This is the negative supply voltage for the high voltage analog input structure  
of the AD7280. This input should be at the same potential as the AGND voltage.  
Analog Voltage output, 5V. The internally generated VREG voltage, which provides the supply voltage for the  
ADC core, is available on this pin for use external to the AD7280. Place 10 µF and 100 nF decoupling capacitors  
on the VREG pin.  
VREG  
19  
DVCC  
Digital Supply Voltage, 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The DVCC and AVCC voltages should ideally be at the same potential.  
For best performance, it is recommended that the DVCC and AVCC pins be shorted together, to ensure that the  
voltage difference between them never exceeds 0.3 V even on a transient basis. This supply should be decoupled  
to DGND. Place 100 nF decoupling capacitors on the DVCC pin. The DVCC supply pin should be connected to the  
V
REG output

21  
DGND  
CS  
Digital Ground. Ground reference point for all digital circuitry on the AD7280. The DGND and AGND voltages  
should ideally be at the same potential and must not be more than 0.3 V apart, even on a transient basis.  
Chip select Input. When acting as a master, that is the Master pin of the AD7280 is connected to VDD, the CS  
input is used to frame the input and output data on the SPI. The CS input also frames the input and output data  
on the Daisy Chain Interface when the MASTER input of the AD7280 is connected to VSS.  
22  
23  
SCLK  
SDI  
Serial Clock Input. When acting as master the SCLK input is supplied from the DSP/uP. When acting as a slave on  
the Daisy Chain this input should be connected to the SCLKhi output of the AD7280 immediately below it in  
potential in the Daisy Chain.  
Serial Data Input. Data to be written to the on-chip registers is provided on this input and is clocked into the  
AD7280 on the falling edge of SCLK. When acting as master this is the data input of the SPI interface. When  
acting as a slave on the Daisy Chain this input acepts data from the SDOhi output of the AD7280 immediately  
below it in potential in the Daisy Chain.  
24  
CNVST  
Convert Start Input. The conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CONVST. When acting as master the  
CNVST pulse is supplied from the DSP/uP. When acting as a slave on the Daisy Chain this input should be  
connected to the CNVSThi output of the AD7280 immediately below it in potential in the Daisy Chain. This  
input can also be tied to VCC and the conversion initiated through the serial interface.  
25  
26  
SDOlo  
SDO  
Serial Data Output in Daisy Chain mode. This output should be connected to the SDIhi input of the AD7280  
immediately below it in potential on the Daisy Chain. The data from each AD7280 in the Daisy Chain will be  
passed through the SDOlo outputs and SDIhi inputs of each AD7280 in the chain and supplied to the uP/DSP  
through the SDO output of the master AD7280.  
Serial Data Output. The conversion output data or the register output data is supplied to this pin as a serial data  
stream. The bits are clocked out on the falling edge of the SCLK input, and 24 SCLKs are required to access the  
data. The data is provided MSB first. In a Daisy Chain application the SDO output of the master AD7280 should  
be connected to the uP/DSP. The SDO outputs of the remaining AD7280s in the chain should be terminated to  
V
SS through a 1kresistor. The data from each AD7280 in the Daisy Chain will be passed through the SDOlo  
outputs and SDIhi inputs of each AD7280 in the chain and supplied to the uP/DSP through the SDO output of  
the master AD7280. 24 SCLKs are required for each AD7280 in the chain to access the data.  
27  
28  
ALERT  
Digital Output. Flag to indicate over voltage, under voltage, over temperature or under temperature. The ALERT  
output of the master AD7280 should be connected to the uP/DSP. The ALERT outputs of the remaining

Power Supply Rejection Ration (PSRR)  
This is the maximum deviation from a straight line passing

endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale (a point 1 LSB

the last code transition).  
Variations in power supply affect the full-scale transition but  
not the converters linearity. PSRR is the maximum change in  
the full-scale transition point due to a change in power supply

to the internal registers.  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The AD7280 provides 6 analog output voltages which can be  
used to control external transistors as part of a cell balancing  
circuit. Each Cell Balance output provides a 0V or 5V voltage,  
with respect to the potential on base of each individual cell,  
which can be applied to the gate of the external cell balancing  
transistors.  
CIRCUIT INFORMATION  
The AD7280 is a Lithium Ion battery monitoring chip with the  
ability to monitor the voltage and temperature of 6 series  
connected battery cells. The AD7280 also provides an interface  
which can be used to control transistors for cell balancing.  
The VDD and VSS supplies required by the AD7280 can be taken  
from the upper and lower voltages of the series connected  
battery cells. An internal VREG rail is generated from the supply  
voltage which provides power for the ADC and the internal  
interface circuitry. This VREG voltage is available on an output  
pin for use external to the AD7280.  
The AD7280 features a daisy chain interface. Individual  
AD7280s can monitor the cell voltages and temperatures of 6  
cells, a chain of AD7280s can be used to monitor the cell  
voltages and temperatures of a larger number of cells. The  
conversion data from each AD7280 in the chain passes to the  
system controller via a single standard serial interface. Control  
data can similarly be passed via the standard serial interface up  
the chain to each individual AD7280s  
The AD7280 consists of a high voltage input multiplexer, a low  
voltage input multiplexer and a 12 bit ADC. The high voltage  
multiplexer allows up to 6 series connected Lithium Ion battery  
cells to be measured. The low voltage multiplexer allows the

The high voltage multiplexer selects which pair of analog  
inputs, Vin0 to Vin6, are to be converted. The voltage of each  
individual cell is measured by converting the difference  
between adjacent analog inputs, that is, Vin1 – Vin0, Vin2 –  
Vin1, etc. This is illustrated in Figure 4 and Figure 5. The  
conversion results for each cell may be accessed after the  
programmed conversion sequence is complete.

start, is all 6 voltage channels followed by all 6 temperature  
channels. Two further conversion sequences may be selected by  
the user, 6 voltage channels followed by 3 temperature channels  
or just 6 voltage channels. The conversion sequence may be  
selected by writing to the CONTROL register.  
The second multiplexer selects which voltage temperature  
input, VT1 to VT6, is to be converted. The conversion results for  
each cell may be accessed after the programmed conversion  
sequence is complete.  
Each voltage and temperature measurement requires a  
minimum of 1us to acquire and complete a conversion.  
Depending on the external components connected to the  
analog inputs of the AD7280 additional acquisition time may be  
required. A higher acquisition time may be selected through the  
CONTROL register. The user may also select the averaging  
option through the CONTROL register. This option allows the  
user to complete 2, 4 or 8 averages on each cell voltage and cell  
temperature measurement. The averaged conversion results are  
stored in the results registers. On power-up the default  
combined acquisition and conversion time will be 1us, with the  
averaging register set to zero, that is a single conversion per  
channel.

structure of the AD7280. The two diodes provide ESD

hold switch. The value of these resistors is typically about 300Ω.  
Capacitor C1 can primarily be attributed to pin capacitance  
while Capacitor C2 is the sampling capacitor of the ADC. The  
total lumped capacitance of C1 and C2 is approximately 13 pF.

TRANSFER FUNCTION

DAC  
The output coding of the AD7280 is straight binary. The  
designed code transitions occur at successive integer LSB values  
(that is, 1 LSB, 2 LSB, and so on). The LSB size is dependent on  
whether the voltage or temperature inputs are being measured.  
The analog input range of the voltage inputs is 1V to 5V, the  
analog input range of the temperature inputs is 0V to 5V. The  
ideal transfer characteristic is shown in Figure 9.  
Figure 6. ADC Configuration During Acquisition Phase  
When the ADC starts a conversion (Figure 7), SW3 opens and  
SW1 and SW2 move to position B, causing the comparator to  
become unbalanced. The control logic and capacitive DACs are  
used to add and subtract fixed amounts of charge to bring the  
comparator back into a balanced condition. When the  
comparator is rebalanced, the conversion is complete. The  
control logic generates the ADC output code. This output code  
is then stored in the appropriate register for the input that has  
been converted.

Figure 10. AD7280 Configuration Diagram for 6 Battery Cells  
application.  
Lithium Ion Battery applications require a significant number  
of individual cells to provide the required output voltage.  
Individual AD7280s can monitor the cell voltages and  
temperatures of 6 series connected cells. The Daisy Chain  
Interface of the AD7280 allows each individual AD7280 to  
communicate with another AD7280 immediately above or  
below it. The daisy chain interface allows the AD7280s to be  
electrically connected to the battery management chip, as  
shown in Figure 11 without the need for individual isolation  
between each AD7280.  
When using a chain of AD7280s it is also recommended that a  
100kOhm series resistor be placed on the PD input. This is  
recommended to limit current into the PD pin in the event that  
the uP/DSP or isolators are connected before the supplies of the  
master AD7280.  
Please refer to the Daisy Chain Interface Section for a more  
detailed description of the Daisy Chain Interface.  
In an application which includes a safety mechanism, designed  
to open circuit the Battery Stack, additional isolation will be  
required between the AD7280 above the break point and the  
battery management chip.  
Daisy Chain Connection Diagram  
As shown in Figure 11 external diodes have been included on  
the VDD supply to each AD7280 and on each Daisy Chain signal  
between adjacent AD7280’s. These diodes, in combination with  
the 10kseries resistors on the analog inputs, are  
recommended to prevent damage to the AD7280 in the event of  
an open circuit in the battery stack.  
EMC Considerations  
In addition to the standard decoupling capacitors, C2n and C3n,  
as shown in Figure 11, it is also recommended that an option for  
additional capacitors, C1n and C4n, be included in the circuit to  
increase immunity to Electomagnetic Interference. These  
capacitors, placed on either side of the VDD protection diode,  
would be used to decouple the VDD supply of each AD7280 with  
respect to system ground., that is the ground of the master  
AD7280 in the daisychain.  
It is also recommended that a zener diode be placed across the  
supplies of each AD7280 as shown in Figure 11. This will  
prevent an over voltage across the supplies of each AD7280  
during the initial connection of the daisychain of AD7280s to  
the battery stack. A voltage rating of 33V is suggested for this  
zener diode but lower values may also be used to suit the

The internal reference is temperature compensated to 2.5 V ± 5  
mV. The reference is trimmed to provide a typical drift of  
3 ppm/°C . The internal reference circuitry consists of a 1.2 V  
band gap reference and a reference buffer. The AD7280 internal  
reference is available at the VREF pin. The VREF pin should be  
decoupled to AGND using a 10 µF, or greater, ceramic  
capacitor. The CREF pin should be decoupled to AGND using a  
0.1 µF, or greater, ceramic capacitor. The internal reference is  
capable of driving an external load of up to 10kOhms.

selected measurements. If no temperature conversions are  
required then Bits D15 and D14 would be set to 10. In this case  
the conversion request will trigger a series of 6 conversions,  
requiring a minimum of 6µs.

ADC to accurately convert an input sine wave of full-scale

Following a completed conversion the AD7280 enters its  
tracking mode. The time required to acquire an input signal  
depends on how quickly the sampling capacitor is charged. This  
in turn will depend on the input impedance and any external  
components placed on the analog inputs. The default acquisition  
time of the AD7280 on initial power up is 400 ns. This can be  
increased in steps of 400ns to 1.6 us to provide flexibility in  
selecting external components on the analog inputs. The

The self-test conversion may also be used to verify the

CONVERSION AVERAGING  
Figure 17. Typical connections for a 4 cell application  
The AD7280 includes an option where the ADC conversions  
completed on each cell input may be repeated with an averaged  
conversion result being stored in the individual register. The  
averaged conversion result may then be read back through the  
SPI interface in the same manner as a standard conversion  
result. The AD7280 may be programmed, through bits D10 and  
D9 of the CONTROL register, to complete 1, 2, 4 or 8  
CELL TEMPERATURE INPUTS  
The AD7280 provides 6 single ended analog inputs, VT1 to  
VT6, to the ADC which may be used to convert the voltage  
output of a thermistor temperature measurement circuit. In the  
event that no temperature measurements are required, or that  
individual cell temperature measurements are not required the  
VT inputs may be used to convert any other 0 V to 5 V input  
signal.  
conversions. The default on power up is a single conversion.  
CONVERSION OF LESS THEN 6 VOLTAGE CELLS  
The AD7280 may be programmed to complete conversions on  
all 6 temperature channels, on 3 temperature channels (VT1,  
VT3 & VT5) or on none of the temperature input channels. The  
number of conversions is programmed through bits D15 and  
D14 of the CONTROL register. The number of conversions  
results supplied by the AD7280 for read back by the DSP/uP is  
programmed through bits D13 and D12 of the CONTROL  
register. In an application where the ALERT function is being  
used but only one or two temperature inputs are required the  
AD7280 should first be programmed to complete and readback  
only 3 temperature conversions, by setting bits D15 and D13 of  
the CONTROL register to 0, and bits D14 and D12 to 1. VT  
Channels VT5 and VT3 may be removed from the Alert  
detection by writing to bits D1 and D0 of the ALERT register.  
Please refer to ALERT Output section.  
The AD7280 provides 6 input channels for Battery Cell voltage  
measurement. The AD7280 may also be used in applications  
which require less then 6 voltage measurements. In these  
applications care should be taken to ensure that the sum of the  
individual cell voltages will still exceed the minimum VDD  
supply voltage. For this reason it is recommended that the  
minimum number of battery cells connected to each AD7280 is  
4. Care should also be taken to ensure that the voltage on the  
Vin6 inputs is always greater than or equal to the voltage on the  
VDD supply pin. This design requirement is in place to allow the  
use of a diode on the VDD supply pin of the AD7280 which  
provides protection in the event of an open circuit in the battery  
stack. Even if a protection diode is not being used in the  
application the Vin6 input voltage must be greater than or equal  
to the VDD supply voltage. An example of the battery  
Thermistor Termination Input  
connections to the AD7280 in a 4 cell battery monitoring  
application is shown in Figure 17.  
In the event that thermistors circuits are being used to measure  
each individual cell temperature the Thermistors Termination  
pin, VTTERM, may be used to the terminate the thermistor inputs  
for each cell temperature measurement. This reduces the  
termination resistor requirement from 6 resistors to 1. Bit D3  
in the CONTROL register should be set to 1 when using the  
VTTERM input.  
Regardless of how many cell measurements are required in the  
user application the AD7280 will acquire and convert the  
voltages on all 6 voltage input channels. The conversion data on  
all 6 channels will be supplied to the DSP/uP using the SPI  
/Daisy Chain interfaces. The user should then ignore the  
conversion data which is not required in their application. If  
using the Alert function the user should program the Alert  
register to ensure that the shorted out channels do not  
incorrectly trigger an Alert output. Please refer to ALERT  
Output section.  
It should be noted that, due to settling time requirements, the  
thermistor termination resistor option should only be used  
when the acquisition time of the AD7280 is set to its highest  
value, that is 1.6µs. The acquisition time is configured by setting  
bits D6 and D5 of the CONTROL register as outlined in Table  
7.

VT1  
VT2  
VT3  
VT4  
VT5  
VT6  
Full, or Hardware, Powerdown

The AD7280 may be placed into full powerdown mode, which  
requires only 4uA max current, by taking the pin low. The  
PD  
pin will power down all analog and

falling edge of the  
digital circuitry.  
PD  
The AD7280 may be placed into Software Power down mode,  
which requires only 1mA of current by setting bit D8 in the  
CONTROL register through the serial interface. When the  
AD7280 is powered down through the serial interface the  
regulator and the daisy chain circuitry stay powered up but the  
remaining analog and digital circuitry is powered down. This is  
necessary to ensure that the signal to power on the part, or  
series of parts, is correctly received.  
Figure 18. Typical Circuit using the Thermistor Termination Resistor  
In the example shown the termination resistor is placed  
between the source voltage and the thermistor in the thermistor  
circuit. The VTTERM input may be used to terminate the  
thermistor inputs to either high or low voltage of the  
Thermistor circuit.  
POWER REQUIREMENTS  
The current consumed by the AD7280 in normal operation, that  
is when not in powerdown mode, is dependant on the mode in  
which the part is being operated. In a typical Lithium Ion  
battery monitoring application there are 3 distinct modes of  
operation. These can be described as follows:  
The AD7280 offers a PD TIMER register which allows the user  
to program a set time after which the AD7280 will go into  
power down. This will act as a time delay between the falling  
edge of the  
input, or the setting of bit D8 in the CONTROL  
PD  
register, and the AD7280 powering down. The PD Timer can be  
set to a value between 0 and 31 minutes, with a resolution of 1  
minute. The user should first write to the PD TIMER register,  
to define the desired delay. Any subsequent falling edge on the  
Voltage and Temperature Conversion  
AD7280 Configuration & Data Readback  
Cell Balancing  
input or setting of bit D8 the CONTROL register, will start  
PD  
the PD timer and after the programmed time will place the  
AD7280 into powerdown. The default value of the PD TIMER  
register on power up is 0h.  
The AD7280 consumes its highest level of current while  
converting voltage and/or temperature inputs to digital outputs.  
Depending on the configuration of the AD7280 the conversion  
time can be as little as 6us. As outlined in Table 1 the typical  
current required by the AD7280 during conversion is 7mA.  
POWER UP TIME  
As outlined in the Power Down section a full power down of  
the AD7280, that is an active low on the  
input will power  
PD  
down all analog and digital circuitry. The recommended power  
up time for the internal reference, when decoupled with a 10µF  
capacitor, is 5ms. It is recommended that no conversions be  
completed until the 5ms power up time has elapsed as it may  
result in inaccurate data.  
When configuring the chain of AD7280s or when reading back  
the voltage and/or temperature conversion results from a chain  
of AD7280s the current required for each AD7280 is typically  
4mA, as outlined in Table 1. The time required to read back the  
voltage conversions results from 96 Lithium Ion cells will  
depend on the speed of the interface clock used, that is SCLK,  
but it can be as low as 2.5ms.  
CELL BALANCING OUTPUTS  
The AD7280 provides 6 CB outputs which can be used to drive  
the gate of external transistors as part of a cell balancing circuit.  
Each CB output may be set to provide either a 0V or 5V output  
with respect to the absolute amplitude of the negative terminal  
of the battery cell which is being balanced. For example, the  
CB6 output will provide a 0V or 5V output with respect to the  
voltage on the Vin5 analog input. The CB outputs are set by  
writing to the CELL BALANCE register. The default value of  
the CELL BALANCE register on power up is 0h.  
The typical current consumed by the AD7280 when the cell  
balancing outputs are switched on is 1mA. The duration of the  
Cell Balance outputs on time is defined by the user.  
When the AD7280 is not being used in any of the above modes  
of operation it is recommended that the AD7280 be powered  
down, as outlined below. This will significantly reduce the  
current draw by each AD7280 on the chain which will avoid  
unnecessary draining of the Lithium Ion cells.  
In an application which daisychains a number of AD7280s  
Rev. PrD | Page 18 of 33  
Preliminary Technical Data  
AD7280  
together it is recommended that series resistors be placed  
between the CB outputs of the AD7280 and the gates of the  
external Cell Balancing transistors. These are recommended to  
protect the AD7280s in the event that the external cell balancing  
transistors are damaged during the initial connection of the  
monitoring circuitry to the battery stack.  
before powering down the AD7280. If no power down timer has  
been set, that is if the PD TIMER register is at its default value  
of 0h, then a falling edge on the PD pin, or the setting of bit D8  
in the CONTROL register to 1, will switch off the CB outputs  
and power down the AD7280. If a power down time has been  
set the CB outputs will be powered down when the  
programmed power down timer has elapsed and the AD7280 is  
powered down.  
An example of how this could occur would be a connection  
sequence which first provides the system ground, that is the  
ground supply to the master AD7280 on the daisychain,  
followed by a connection from any of the battery cells at a  
potential high enough to exceed the VGS of the cell balancing  
transistor, for example 40V. If these two connections are the  
only battery connections made in the system then this will  
result in 40V being applied to one of the Vin pins of the  
AD7280, which is also connected to the source input of one of  
the cell balancing transistors. However, because no power has  
been supplied to the VDD pin of the AD7280 all the CB outputs  
will be 0V. This will result in a reverse voltage of 40V across the  
VGS of the external transistor which may damage the device.  
ALERT OUTPUT  
The Alert output on the AD7280 may be used to indicate if any  
of the following faults have occurred:  
Over-Voltage  
Under-Voltage  
Over-Temperature  
Under-Temperature  
In the event that the external transistor is damaged, the AD7280  
may be protected by the use of 10kOhm series resistors on each  
of the CB output pins. Consideration should also be given to  
the protection of these external transistors during the initial  
connection of the monitoring circuitry to the battery stack.  
Following each completed conversion the cell voltage and  
temperature measurement results are compared to the fault  
thresholds. The fault thresholds can be set by writing to the  
OVER VOLTAGE. UNDER VOLTAGE, OVER TEMP and  
UNDER TEMP registers. An ALERT output is generated if the  
cell voltage or temperature results are outside the programmed  
fault thresholds.  
Vin6  
10k  
CB6  
The Alert output can be defined as a static or a dynamic output,  
this is set by writing to the ALERT register. The static Alert  
output is a high signal which is pulled low in the event of a over  
or under voltage or temperature. The dynamic Alert is a square  
wave which can be programmed to a frequency of 100Hz or  
1kHz. The Alert output may be used as part of a daisy chain in  
which case the AD7280 at the top of the chain, that is furthest  
away from the DSP/µP should be programmed to generate the  
initial Alert output and each AD7280 in the chain will either  
pass that output through or pull the Alert signal low to indicate  
that there is a fault with that particular device. At the end of the  
daisy chain the master AD7280, that is the AD7280 which is  
connected to the DSP/µP will take the Alert signal from the  
chain and pass it, in standard digital voltage format to the  
DSP/µP. The functionality of the fault detection circuit, which  
generates the Alert output may be programmed through bits D7  
to D4 of the ALERT register.

Figure 19. Cell Balancing Configuration  
The AD7280 offers 6 Cell Balance timer registers which allow  
the on-time of each CB output to be programmed. These are  
referred to as the CB TIMER registers. The CB timers can be  
set to a value between 0 and 30 minutes. The resolution of the  
CB Timer is 1 minute. At the end of the programmed CB Time  
the 6 CB outputs will return to their default state of 0V. The  
default value of the CB TIMER registers on power up is 0h.  
As outlined previously (See Conversion of less then 6 Voltage  
cells) some applications may require less than 6 voltage  
measurements. As shown in Figure 17 it is recommended that  
the channels which are not being used on the AD7280 be  
shorted to the channel below them. To prevent the incorrect  
triggering of the Alert output in this application the AD7280  
allows the user to select up to 2 voltage channels which may be  
taken out of the fault detection circuit. This may be

The operation of the ALERT output can be verified by initiating  
a Self-Test conversion. The self-test conversion will convert a  
known voltage, 1.2V, which will trigger an ALERT output if the  
under voltage fault threshold is higher than 1.25V. To test the  
ALERT output the self-test should be initiated on the AD7280  
furthest away from the DSP/µP. This allows the ALERT path  
through each AD7280 to be verified. The remaining AD7280s  
in the battery stack should be placed into software powerdown  
to ensure that only the part which is converting the self-test  
voltage may generate an ALERT output.

Preliminary Technical Data  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
AD7280  
The AD7280s serial interface consists of four signals; , SCLK,  
CS  
Register Data Read  
SDIN and SDOUT. The SDIN line is used for transferring data  
into the on chip registers while the SDOUT line is used for  
reading the conversion results from the ADCs. SCLK is the  
serial clock input for the device, and all data transfers, either on  
SDIN or on SDOUT, take place with respect to SCLK. Data is  
clocked into and out of the AD7280 on the SCLK falling edge.  
The data returned from a conversion result read operation  
includes the Device Address and Channel Address information  
in addition to the 12-bits of conversion data. The data returned  
from a Register Data read operation includes the Device  
Address and Register Address in addition to the 8-bits of  
register data. The AD7280 SPI Interface, in combination with  
the Daisy Chain Interface, allows the conversion results of any  
AD7280 in the 50 x AD7280 stack to be read back using an N x  
24-bit read cycle, where N is defined by the number of  
conversions completed on that part, that is 12, 9 or 6 (Please  
refer to Table 6). The user has the option of taking CS low for  
the duration of the N x 24 bit read cycle, or may pulse CS low  
for each individual 24-bit read cycle, that is N 24-bit wide CS  
frames.  
The , input is used to frame the serial data being transferred  
CS  
to or from the device. , can also be used to initiate the  
CS  
sequence of conversions.  
In a Li-Ion Battery Monitoring application up to50 AD7280s  
may be daisy chained together to allow up to 300 individual Li-  
Ion cell voltages to be monitored. Each write operation must  
therefore include Device Address and Register Address in  
addition to the data to be written. An additional identifier bit is  
also required when addressing all AD7280s in the Daisy Chain.  
The AD7280 SPI Interface, in combination with the Daisy  
Chain Interface, allows any register in the 50 x AD7280 stack to  
be updated using one 24-bit write cycle.

Cyclic Redundancy Check  
For (i = 0; I < 16; i++)  
The AD7280 SPI output includes a 2-bit Cyclic Redundancy  
Check (CRC) on the output data. This CRC may be used to  
detect any alteration in the data during transmission. The  
principle of a cyclic redundancy check is that the output data, to  
be transmitted, is divided by a fixed polynomial, the remainder  
of this mathematical operation is then attached to the output  
data and forms parts of the transmission. At the receiving end  
the user should complete the same mathematical operation on  
the data received. This will allow the user to confirm that the  
data which they have received is the same as the data which was  
originally transmitted. The 2-bit CRC, offered by the AD7280,  
will allow errors bursts of up to 2 bits to be detected. It will also  
detect up to 75% of errors bursts which are greater than 2 bits.

if (Data_D17toD2[i] == 1)

else  
The polynomial used by the AD7280 to calculate the CRC bits  
is x2 + 1. Data bits D17 to D2 of the 24-bit serial output are  
divided by this polynomial and the 2 bit remainder, following  
the division, becomes the CRC bits, D1 and D0, of the 24-bit  
serial output. On the AD7280 this division is implemented  
using the digital circuit outlined in Figure 21.

Figure 21. CRC Implementation  
Device Address : 000000  
Channel Address : 0101  
The following pseudo code may be used to calculate the CRC.  
First the following variables need to be declared:  
Conversion Data : 101001111001  
1. Data_D17toD2 – Data bits D17 to D2 of the 24-bit serial  
output. When reading a conversion result D17 to D2 includes  
the 4-bit channel address and the 12-bit conversion result. This  
data supplies one of the inputs to the XOR gate.  
Only the channel address and the conversion data are used for  
the calculation of the CRC. The data inputs to the CRC  
algorithm would be 0101101001111001. Each step of the  
calculation, from i=0 to i=15, is outlined in Table 33. Following  
the completion of the calculation the values of CRC1[D1]and  
CRC0[D0] may be read from the table as follows:  
2. xor_output – integer variable. This will be the output of the  
XOR gate  
CRC1 [D1] = Shift1 = 0  
3. shift1 – integer variable. This will be the output of the first  
shift register  
CRC0 [D0] = Xor_output = 1  
4. shift2 – integer variable. This will be the output of the second  
shift register, which is in turn one of the inputs to the XOR gate

5. i – integer variable  
Device Address : 000001  
Register Address : 001111

With the exception of variable Data_D17toD2 all variables  
should be initialised to zero. The following code will then  
implement the CRC calculation as outlined in Figure 21 above.

calculation, from i=0 to i=15, is outlined in Table 34. Following  
the completion of the calculation the values of CRC1[D1]and

the transmitted CRC. A feature of the redundancy check is that  
this operation will result in a remainder of zero if the data has  
been received correctly.  
It should be noted that on receipt of a transmission which  
includes a cyclic redundancy check the user has 2 options. The  
CRC calculation may be completed on the received portion of  
the data which was used to generate the original CRC bits. This  
will allow the user to verify that the CRC bits received in the  
transmission are the same as those calculated based on the  
received data. Another option which is offered by the Cyclic  
Redundancy Check is that the user may complete the CRC  
calculation on the entire data set i.e. the transmitted data and  
Table 35 shows a repeat of CRC Example 1 with 2 additional  
steps which allows the full transmission to be decoded. As can  
be seen this results in zero outputs on the Shift1 and Xor_output  
variables.

Preliminary Technical Data  
AD7280  
DAISY CHAIN INTERFACE  
chain of AD7280s the Device Address corresponds to the  
position of the individual AD7280 in the chain with respect to  
the device acting as Daisy Chain Master, that is the device  
connected directly to the DSP/µP. For example, in an  
application which uses 16 AD7280s to monitor 96 channels the  
device acting as Daisy Chain Master should be addressed with a  
Device Address of 00000, the 16th AD7280 in the chain should  
be addressed with a Device Address of 001111.  
In a Li-Ion Battery Monitoring application up to 50 AD7280s  
may be daisy chained together to allow up to 300 individual Li-  
Ion cell voltages to be monitored. Each AD7280 is capable of  
monitoring up to 6 Li-Ion cells and is powered from the top and  
bottom voltage of the 6 Li-Ion cells. As a result the supply  
voltages of each AD7280 are offset by up to 30V from adjacent  
AD7280s in the chain. For this reason a standard Serial  
Interface Daisy Chain method cannot be used.  
Each individual AD7280 is preset with an address of zero, that  
is, 0h. When a write operation is initiated by the DSP or  
µProcessor the Daisy Chain Master compares the Device  
Address received with its own address. If the addresses do not  
match the AD7280 will decrement the Device Address by one,  
1h, and the new Device Address will be passed to the next  
AD7280 in the chain with the remainder of the original 24-bit  
write. The second AD7280 will again compare the received  
Device Address with its own address, if the addresses do not  
match 1h will be subtracted from the Devices Address and  
again passed up the chain. This will continue until the received  
Device Address matches the preset address, 0h, and the write  
operation is completed.  
The AD7280 includes a Daisy Chain Interface separate to the  
standard SPI interface. This Daisy Chain interface allows each  
AD7280 in the chain to relay data to and from adjacent  
AD7280s. In addition to the standard wire SPI the AD7280  
serial interface include 3 optional interface pins, ALERT,  
and  
.
CNVST  
PD  
Each input and output pin on the 7 wire interface requires at  
least one additional I/O for the Daisy Chain Interface, that is to  
allow the information to passed to an AD7280 operating at a  
higher supply voltage. The SDO and ALERT outputs will also  
require a further daisy chain pin to allow the information to be

not require additional pins to pass information to a AD7280  
operating at a lower voltage as each of these input pins can  
operate as both SPI inputs or Daisy Chain inputs. Their  
functionality is defined by the state of the Master pin.  
To write to the same register on all AD7280s in the stack bit D3  
in the 24-bit write cycle should be set high. This will result in  
the 8-bit register data, bits D11-D4, are written to the same  
register address on all parts. The Device address, bits D23-D18,  
should be regarded as Don’t Care bits when writing to all parts  
in the stack. For example when initiating a conversion on all  
AD7280s in the stack bit D3 should be set high, the Register  
address should be set to Dh, to address the CONTROL register  
and bit D11 of the 24-bit write cycle should be set high. This  
The MASTER pin on the AD7280 at the base of the Daisy  
Chain should be set high, tied to VDD supply, to ensure that this  
device interfaces to the DSP or µProcessor using the standard  
Serial Interface. The MASTER pin on the remaining AD7280s  
in the Daisy Chain should each be connected to their respective  
VSS pins which disables the serial interface pins on those  
devices. This allows the , SCLK, SDI,

AD7280s in the stack.  
As explained in the Serial Interface section only one 24-bit write  
cycle is required to write to any register in the 50 x AD7280  
stack . To read back the conversion data from all channels  
monitoring the battery stack requires only a (24 x N)-bit read  
cycle where N is the number of channels in the battery stack.  
Note: this is the default read configuration on power up. If the  
settings of the Read or control registers have been changed then  
additional write cycles may be required. The recommended  
SCLK frequency to ensure correct operation of the Daisy Chain  
Interface is 1MHz. With a 1MHz SCLK it will take ~2.34 ms to  
read back the voltage conversions on 96 channels.  
Addressing the AD7280  
As explained in the previous section all write operations to the  
AD7280 must include the Device Address and Register Address  
in addition to the data to be written. In any application using a

on power up and following a reset operation.  
READING DATA FROM THE AD7280  
There are a number of read options available on the AD7280.  
The user may read back the results from all the conversions  
completed on an individual part in the chain, from all the  
conversions completed on all parts in the chain or from  
individual registers on selected parts in the chain.  
Write to the Control register on all parts. Set bits D15  
and D14 to select the required conversions. Set bits  
D13 and D12 to select the required conversion results  
for read back.  
Initiate the conversions through either the falling edge  
In each case the user is required to first write to the Read  
register on the selected parts to configure that part to supply the  
correct data on the outputs. When reading back an individual  
register result the address of that register should be written to  
the read register of the selected part. When reading back  
conversion results from any or all parts in the chain an address  
of 0h should be written to the read register of the selected parts.  
When the address written to the read register is 0h the  
conversion results selected for read back are controlled by  
setting bits D13 and D12 of the Control register. Please refer to  
Table 14. This allows the user to select 4 different read back  
options

Allow sufficient time for each conversion to be  
completed. Please refer to Converting Cell Voltages

The following section outlines ten examples of Conversion and  
/or Readback routines which would be commonly used in an  
application using a chain of AD7280s to monitor the voltage  
and/or temperature of the a stack of Lithium Ion batteries.  
Read back 12 conversion results: 6 voltage and 6  
temperature  
Read back 9 conversion results: 6 voltage and 3  
temperature  
Convert and Read all parts, all voltages and all  
temperatures  
Register address 0h should be written to the Read  
register on all parts  
Read back 6 conversion results: 6 voltage results only  
Switch off read operation on this part  
Bits D15-D12 of the CONTROL register should be set  
to 0 on all parts.  
If the user wishes to read back the conversion results from a  
single AD7280 in the daisy chain bits D13 and D12 of the  
control register on that part should be set to select the correct  
conversion results. Bits D13 and D12 on all other AD7280s in  
the daisy chain should be set to switch off the read operation on  
those parts. It should be noted that it is more efficient in terms  
of 24-bit write cycles to first switch off the read operation on all  
AD7280s in the daisy chain. This can be achieved with a single  
write cycle, using bit D3 to address all parts in the chain. The  
user may then address the individual part and set bits D13 and  
D12 to select the required conversion results.
