Overview

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 3036A features the LTC6812-1, a 15-channel battery-stack monitor. Multiple boards can be linked through a 2-wire isolated serial interface (isoSPI) to monitor a long series of cells in a stack. The DC3036A demo board also features reversible isoSPI enabling a redundant communication path. The PCB, components, and DuraClik connectors are optimized for Low EMI Susceptibility and Emissions.

The DC3036A can communicate to a PC by connecting a DC2792B dual master isoSPI together with DC2026 Linduino® One. The DC2026 must be loaded with the appropriate program (called a sketch) to control the battery stack monitor IC and receive data through a USB serial port. The DC2026C provides a standard SPI inter-face which can be translated to isoSPI and then connected to a DC3036A isoSPI port (J4 or J5 connector). The DC2792B companion board provides two SPI-isoSPI channels for reversible operation.
