BATT-MAN 2 Click

BATT-MAN 2 Click is a compact add-on board representing an advanced battery and power management solution. This board features the MAX77654, a single inductor, multiple-output (SIMO) power management IC (PMIC) from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This I2C programmable board features a buck-boost regulator that provides three independently programmable power rails from a single inductor. Also, it has one 100mA LDO output with ripple rejection for audio and other noise-sensitive applications and a highly-configurable linear charger that supports a wide range of Li+ battery capacities featuring battery temperature monitoring for additional safety (JEITA).

Software Support

We provide a library for the BATTMAN2 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 BATTMAN2 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• battman2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void battman2_cfg_setup ( battman2_cfg_t *cfg );

• battman2_init Initialization function.

  err_t battman2_init ( battman2_t *ctx, battman2_cfg_t *cfg );

• battman2_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

  err_t battman2_default_cfg ( battman2_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

• battman2_set_charger_enable BATT-MAN 2 set charger enable function.

  err_t battman2_set_charger_enable ( battman2_t *ctx, uint8_t en_chg );

• battman2_set_charger_cfg BATT-MAN 2 set charger configuration function.

  err_t battman2_set_charger_cfg ( battman2_t *ctx, battman2_chg_cnfg_t chg_cnfg );

• battman2_get_charger_cfg BATT-MAN 2 get charger configuration function.

  err_t battman2_get_charger_cfg ( battman2_t *ctx, battman2_chg_cnfg_t *chg_cnfg );

Example Description

This library contains API for BATT-MAN 2 Click driver. The library initializes and defines the I2C bus drivers to write and read data from registers. The library also includes a function for configuring appropriate charge current, charge voltage, prequalification voltage, Buck, Buck-Boost and Linear regulator configuration, etc.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

The initialization of the I2C module, log UART, and additional pins. After the driver inits and executes a default configuration, the app disables charging, sets charger configuration, enables charging, displays charger configuration, or sets Buck-Boost configuration.

     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will

Application Task

This is an example that shows the use of a BATT-MAN 2 Click board™. The choice of example profile tasks depends on uncommented code. Examples profile: CHARGER and BUCK-BOOST. In the CHARGER profile, while on the BATT-MAN 2 Click board™ the blue LED is the battery charging indicator, while the red LED indicates the cessation of battery charging. The yellow LED is an indicator of the BUCK-BOOST profile. Results are being sent to the USART terminal where the user can track their changes.

void application_task ( void ) 
{   
    #ifdef CHARGER
        battman2_get_chg_status( &battman2, &chg_stat );
        Delay_ms ( 10 );

        display_charger_status( );
        Delay_ms ( 1000 );

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.
