Das eFuse 2 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die ein integriertes FET-Hot-Swap-Gerät enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den TPS259631, eine hochintegrierte Schaltungsschutz- und Energieverwaltungslösung von Texas Instruments. Es bietet mehrere Schutzmodi gegen Überlastungen, Kurzschlüsse, Spannungsspitzen und übermäßigen Einschaltstrom. Außerdem ist es möglich, den Ausgangslaststrom genau zu erfassen, indem der Spannungsabfall über dem digitalen Rheostat gemessen wird, mit dem der Ausgangsstrombegrenzungspegel eingestellt werden kann. Das Gerät verwendet außerdem einen integrierten thermischen Abschaltmechanismus, um sich während dieser Fehlerereignisse zu schützen. Dieses Click Board™ wird typischerweise für Hot-Swap- und Stromschienenschutzanwendungen verwendet.
Das eFuse 2 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The eFuse 2 Click Board™ Work?
The eFuse 2 Click Board™ is based on the TPS259631, an integrated eFuse device that is used to manage load voltage and load current from Texas Instruments. The TPS259631 provides various factory-programmed settings and user manageable settings, which allow device configuration for handling different transient and steady-state supply and load fault conditions, thereby protecting the input supply and the downstream circuits connected to the device. The device also uses an in-built thermal shutdown mechanism to shield itself during these fault events.
The eFuse 2 Click Board™ provides a simple solution for current limiting, inrush current control, and supervision of power rails for a wide range of applications operating from 2.7 V to 19 V external power supply and delivering up to 2A. Besides, the eFuse 2 Click board™ monitors the input supply the entire time and comes up with a user-adjustable UVLO and OVLO ... mechanism through an I2C compatible digital potentiometer, the AD5241 from Analog Devices, to ensure that the load is powered up only when the voltage is at a sufficient level.
It is also possible to get an accurate sense of the output load current by measuring the voltage drop across the current limit resistor. By replacing the resistor with a digital rheostat, you can easily program the current limit as performed on this Click board™. For this purpose, the AD5175 single-channel 1024-position digital rheostat from Analog Devices that communicate with the MCU through the I2C serial interface is used to program the current limit. The TPS259631 regulates the current to the set current limit value within the nominal overcurrent response time and exits current limiting when the load current falls below the current limit value.
The eFuse 2 Click Board™ allows the choice of the least significant bit (LSB) of the I2C slave addresses for both AD5241 and AD5175. This can be performed by positioning the SMD jumper labelled as ADDR SEL to its appropriate position. Additional functionality such as hardware reset for AD5175 and fault indication interrupt is provided and routed at RST and INT pins of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as RST and FLT. This open-drain fault output is associated with a red color LED indicator, marked as the FLT that will be pulled low when a fault is detected.
The eFuse 2 Click Board™ is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the eFuse 2 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
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the eFuse 2 Click Board™. Library performs a standard I2C interface communication.
Key Functions
float *min_voltage, float *max_voltage )- Set operating voltage function.void efuse2_set_operating_current ( float current )- Set operating current function.void efuse2_operating_mode ( uint8_t mode )- Set operating mode function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes I2C, set RST pin as an output, set INT pin as input and start to write log.
- Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - I2C, AD5175: enable write, set the normal operating mode and operating current to the 1,2 A; AD5241: set operating voltage to the 12,0 V; display diagnostic states and temperature.
- Application Task - (code snippet) This is an example that demonstrate the use of the eFuse 2 Click Board™. The eFuse 2 Click Board™ uses USB UART log to display operating voltage, OVLO, UVLO and current limit condition. This firmware provides the functions to set the operating voltage and current limiting conditions in order to provide the threshold of the fault conditions. When one of the fault conditions is met, the microcontroller is notified via INT pin which is checked by the app to initiate a shutdown mode. All data logs write on USB UART changes every 2000 milliseconds.
