Description
The Aeroflex 8637-08 is a Lithium-Ion cell
balancing system. It controls the balancing
of one or two batteries, each consisting of
a series stack of Lithium-Ion cells to ensure
that each cell is precisely charged to its
proper level of energy and to monitor each
cell's operational voltage.
The cell balancing circuitry uses a set of
bilateral DC-DC converters which tie each
cell of a battery to a common share bus.
Cell charge is distributed among the
multiple cells so that the charge of each
cell is automatically matched to the
average charge of the other cells.

Safety
The safety of Lithium-Ion battery
technology requires that extreme care be
taken in the provisions made for cell
charging and cell monitoring.
Precision measurements of each of the
individual cell voltages in the battery stack
and precise charge balancing to each
individual cell are critical.
The Aeroflex 8637-08 provides the
necessary precision of control and
monitoring to ensure that safety.
Discrete logic outputs are provided for
critical signaling, enabling the user to
initiate load shedding and/or to halt
charging.
Low operating losses enable continuous
operation. Continuous balancing provides
maximum protection against any one cell
becoming overcharged.

8637-08 Operating Details
Battery Cell Balancing
Provides 8 individual continuous balancing circuits per stack.
Battery Cell Overvoltage Latch Output
The status of the OVP latch is provided by telemetry as
specified in Tables II, III & IV and also as a discrete output.
Maximum Cell Balancing Current Limit
Each cell is provided with a 1Amp fuse for overload interrupt
in the event of a shorted cell to protect the remaining cell
balance functionality.
Recovery from Cell Overvoltage Indication
The OVP latch is reset by a 1553B reset command or by
recycling the input power.
Cell Balancing Accuracy
When connected to a battery, the 8637-08 provides
balancing currents into each of the battery's cells. The
directions and the magnitudes of the individual currents are
proportional to the deviations of the cell voltages from the
average cell voltage. The transfer ratio of voltage to current is
1.0 Ohm nominal and is satisfied for cell voltages of up to
4.2V.
Highest Battery Cell Voltage Telemetry
Provides highest battery cell voltage telemetry as specified in
Tables I & IV.
Lowest Battery Cell Voltage Telemetry
Provides lowest battery cell voltage telemetry as specified in
Tables I & IV.
Test Points
Provides test points for total battery voltage, low cell
indicator and high cell indicator. Access to the total battery
voltage is provided to permit pre-charging before connection
to the battery.
Battery Cell Current Drawn in Off State
In the off state, the differential mode battery cell current
drawn by each cell balancing circuit is less than 50μA.
Battery Cell Voltage Monitoring
Measures cell voltages for up to two 8-cell batteries.
4V and 0V References for Calibration
Provides 4V and 0V references for cell voltage telemetry
calibration.
Battery and Cell Protection
Incorporates overvoltage protection (OVP) circuits. These
circuits monitor all of the battery cell voltages and only
register the highest of all cell voltages monitored. When a
cell voltage threshold of 4.40V is reached, the protection
circuit output changes state and latches within 50mS.

MIL-STD-1553B Telemetry & Commands (Each 8-cell battery)
Analog or bi-level telemetry can be requested from either
the primary or the redundant controller and reported over
the dual redundant 1553B interface with the RT addresses
configurable at the J1 and J4 connectors.
Bi-Level Telemetry
Bi-level telemetry can be requested on sub-addresses 18, 19
or 22.
First a 1553B receive command with one data word as
defined in Table II, which specifies the telemetry item being
requested, must be issued. After a minimum delay of 1.2ms,
the data can be retrieved by sending a 1553B transmit
command for one data word on the same sub-address on
which the request was initiated.
Analog Telemetry
Each analog telemetry item can be requested individually on
sub-addresses 18, 19 or 22.
First a 1553B receive command with one data word as
defined in Table I, which specifies the telemetry item being
requested, must be issued. After a minimum delay of 1.2ms,
the data can be retrieved by sending a 1553B transmit
command for one data word on the same sub-address on
which the request was initiated.

The 12-bit data reply is left justified in the 16-bit 1553B data
