Click library

• Author : MikroE Team
• Date : Dec 2019.
• Type : GPIO type

Software Support

We provide a library for the Ups 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 Ups Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• Config Object Initialization function.

  void ups_cfg_setup ( ups_cfg_t *cfg );

• Initialization function.

  UPS_RETVAL ups_init ( ups_t ctx, ups_cfg_t cfg );

Example key functions :

• Functions for settings chip mode

  void usp_set_mode ( ups_t *ctx, uint8_t mode );

• Functions for reading PGD state

  uint8_t ups_get_power_good ( ups_t *ctx );

Examples Description

This application is charger, that provides continuous power for a load connected to the output terminals.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes Driver init and setting chip mode as ACTIVE

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;
    ups_cfg_t cfg;

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info(&logger, "---- Application Init ----");

    //  Click initialization.

    ups_cfg_setup( &cfg );
    UPS_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    ups_init( &ups, &cfg );

    usp_set_mode( &ups, UPS_MODE_ACTIVE );
}

Application Task

Checks the state of PGD (Power Good), PGD goes high when Vout is within 6% of target value (4.98V)

void application_task ( )
{
    uint8_t pgd_state;

    pgd_state = ups_get_power_good( &ups );

    if ( pgd_state != 0 )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, "---> Power Good \r\n" );
    }
    Delay_1sec( );
} 

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.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.Ups

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.
