CHARGER 12 click

Charger 12 Click is a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell or three-cell NiMH/NiCd battery charger. This click can be used for Low-Cost Li-Ion battery chargers, or Power Tools, toys, backup energy storage solutions, etc. Charger 12 click is based on MAX1501 controller which has some extra features enabling charging without too much hassle.

Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the Charger12 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for Charger12 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Examples Description

This application charges the batery.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Iniztializes SPI driver.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
// Logger initialization.
log_cfg.level = LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
// Click initialization.
CHARGER12_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
charger12_init( &charger12, &cfg );
Delay_ms(100);
Delay_ms(100);
log_printf( &logger, "> App init done" );
}

Application Task

Executes additional functions based on user input.

void application_task ( void )
{
Delay_ms( 1 );
Delay_ms( 1 );
Delay_ms( 1 );
Delay_ms( 1 );
Delay_ms( 1 );
Delay_ms( 1 );
}

Note

Additional Functions :

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
