Das Balancer 5 Click Board™ ist ein intelligentes 2-Zellen-Li-Ionen-Akkuladegerät, ein System-Energiemanager und ein Click Board™ mit Akku-Ladezustandsanzeige.
Das Balancer 5 Click Board™ basiert auf einem BQ25887-Controller, der über einige zusätzliche Funktionen verfügt, die ein Aufladen ohne allzu großen Aufwand ermöglichen. Als Systemstromverteiler kann es eine angeschlossene Batterie mit bis zu 3,3 A versorgen. Durch die Verwendung eines extern angeschlossenen USB-Netzteils kann es eine 2-Zellen-Li-Ion-Batterie aufladen. Ein dedizierter Energieverwaltungs-IC mit optimierter intelligenter Energiesteuerung ermöglicht eine sehr effiziente Verwaltung der verfügbaren Energie.
How Does The Balancer 5 Click Board™ Work?
The Balancer 5 Click Board™ is based on the BQ25887 form Texas Instruments- fully integrated 2-cell Li-ion battery charger IC ideal for portable applications with cell balancing. The BQ25887 optimizes the charging two battery with balancing. The input voltage range from USB connector can be as high as 5.5V, battery can be charge with up to 3.3A. When the input voltage exceeds the OVP (Over Voltage Protection) threshold, it will turn off the charging MOSFET to avoid overheating of the chip. Along with its small physical size, the low number of external components makes this IC ideally suitable for various applications.

As a Lithium Ion batteries require a very accurate current and voltage for charging, the Balancer 5 Click Board™ can be a perfect solution for such a task. The Balancer 5 Click Board™ is equipped with a highly integrated Li-Ion battery charger, supporting intelligent, constant-current, constant voltage (CCCV), temperature-regulated battery charger charges a 2-cell lithium-ion (Li+) cell batteries. This click has a charging current control IC over I2C interface which ensures perfect and efficient charging. Balancer 5 click can be used as a part of the power supply and distribution system in many applications: different kinds of handheld appliances, portable media players, portable audio players, and other general-purpose battery-operated electronic devices.
On the left side of the click board is an input USB connector, where the external voltage as high as 5.5V can be applied. Two connectors on the right side is reserved for a Li-Ion batteries with corresponding markings, right connector is for first batteries and left connectr is for secound batteries. When connected to power source, the green CHARGE LED will indicate it, LOW indicates charge in progress. HIGH indicates charge complete or charge disabled. When any fault occurs, the STAT pin blinks at 1Hz. The STAT function can be disabled when the STAT_DIS bit is set.
On right side is 1x2 male header for connect a NTC (Negative temperature Coefficient) resistor. Connect a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. Program temperature window with a resistor divider from REGN to TS to GND. Charge suspends when TS pin is out of range. Recommend 103AT-2 thermistor.
The voltage range which can be used to power up the Balancer 5 click, allows for it to work with 5V capable MCUs.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Balancer 5 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
Library provides functions for controling pin state and reading it from device, and reading and writing data to device.
Key Functions
void balancer5_charge ( uint8_t state )- Control device charging sateuint8_t balancer5_read_data ( uint8_t reg_addr )- Reads and returns one Byte of data from registarvoid balancer5_write_data ( uint8_t reg_addr, uint8_t write_data )- Writes one Byte of data to registar
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initialization of I2C module and setting pins to output
- Application Initialization - Checks ID, starts charging, reads charge status registers and configures ADC
- Application Task - Reads ADC values from registers and logs it

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a 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.
MIKROSDK
The Balancer 5 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
