Charger 26 click

Charger 26 Click is a compact add-on board that provides a single-cell charging solution. This board features the MAX1811, a USB-powered Li+ charger from Analog Devices. The charger uses an internal FET to deliver the battery up to 500mA charging current. It has pre-conditioning that soft-starts a near-dead battery cell before charging.

  • Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Charger 26 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 from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for Charger 26 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of Charger 26 click board by enabling the device

and then reading and displaying the charger status.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and enables the device, sets the output

voltage to 4.2 V and charging current to 100 mA.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
charger26_cfg_t charger26_cfg;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
charger26_cfg_setup( &charger26_cfg );
CHARGER26_MAP_MIKROBUS( charger26_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( DIGITAL_OUT_UNSUPPORTED_PIN == charger26_init( &charger26, &charger26_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
charger26_default_cfg ( &charger26 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, " Connect input power and battery. \r\n" );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
log_printf( &logger, " Enableing output. \r\n" );
{
log_printf( &logger, " Check connection. \r\n" );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Tracking charging status, as soon as charging stops, device output is disabled.

void application_task ( void )
{
{
log_printf( &logger, " Battery is charging. \r\n" );
}
else
{
log_printf( &logger, " Battery isn't charging, disabling output. \r\n" );
for ( ; ; );
}
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

  • MikroSDK.Board
  • MikroSDK.Log
  • Click.Charger26

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
