Das BATT-MON Click Board™ ist ein sehr vielseitiges, hochpräzises Batteriemessgerät mit mehreren chemischen Eigenschaften für Anwendungen mit Einzelzellenbatterien. Es kann für verschiedene Anwendungen verwendet werden, von Smartphones, Notebooks/Laptops, Elektrowerkzeugen, Staubsaugern bis hin zu Energiespeichersystemen (ESS), und liefert gleichzeitig die Ausgangsspannung. Das Interessante an diesem Gerät ist, dass es der angeschlossenen Last zusätzlichen Strom liefern kann, wenn der von der mikroBUS™-Buchse gelieferte Strom nicht ausreicht. Dies ist möglich, indem die angeschlossene Batterie verwendet und intelligente Stromführungsalgorithmen des BATT-MON Click Board™ eingesetzt werden.
Features like the OptimGaugeTM algorithm, 0.25% accuracy battery voltage monitoring, Coulomb counter, and voltage-mode gas gauge operations make the BATT-MON click specialized battery gauge IC, used to provide battery depletion data via the I2C interface, the BATT-MON Click Board™ can be used to charge and monitorLiPo/Li-Ion batteries for a wide range of applications that can benefit from reliable and efficient LiPo/Li-Ion battery charger, like the mobile phones, multimedia players, digital cameras, portable medical equipment, and many more.
How Does The BATT-MON Click Board™ Work?
The core component of the BATT-MON Click Board™ is the STC3115, a high-precision battery gas gauge IC with alarm output for handheld applications, from STMicroelectronics. It includes all necessary components for the STC3115 to ensure the proper functionality of the Click board™ and maintain the monitoring precision.
The monitoring functions include the measurement of battery voltage, current, and temperature. A Coulomb counter is available to track the SOC when the battery is charging or discharging at a high rate. A sigma-delta A/D converter is used to measure the voltage, current, and temperature. The STC3115 can operate in two different modes with different power consumption. Mode selection is made by the VMODE bit in register 0. For more information about registers and operating modes, refer to modes STC3115 datasheet.
Battery voltage is measured by using one conversion cycle of the A/D converter every 4 s. The conversion cycle takes 8192 clock cycles, which means that when the the internal 32768 Hz clock is used, the conversion cycle time is 250 ms. The voltage range is 0 to 4.5 V and resolution is 2.20 mV. Accuracy of the voltage measurement is ±0.5% over the temperature range. This allows accurate SOC information from the battery open-circuit voltage
For current sensing, the voltage drop across the sense resistor (R9) is measured with the internal 14-bit sigma-delta A/D converter. Using the 32768 Hz internal clock, the conversion cycle time is 500 ms for a 14-bit resolution. The LSB value is 5.88 μV. The A/D converter output is in two's complement format. When a conversion cycle is completed, the result is added to the Coulomb counter accumulator and the number of conversions is incremented in a 16-bit counter. The current register is updated only after the conversion closest to the voltage conversion (that is: once per 4-s measurement cycle). The result is stored in the REG_CURRENT register (see Table 12).
The voltage range which can be used to power up the BATT-MON Click Board™, allows for it to work with both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs. It can be selected by soldering a small SMD jumper, labeled as VCC SEL to the correct position.

Software Support
We provide a library for the BATT-MON 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
This library allows user to perform a battery monitoring. User can get battery voltage, battery current, temperature, SOC, OCV value from the device. This library offers a choice to set SOC and voltage alarm value and to check alarm interrupt status. For more details check documentation.
Key Functions
T_BATTMON_RETVAL battmon_readBytes( uint8_t regAddr, uint8_t *dataOut, uint8_t nBytes )- This function reads the desired number of bytes starting from the selected register.T_BATTMON_RETVAL battmon_writeByte( uint8_t regAddr, uint8_t dataIn )- This function writes one byte data to the selected register.float battmon_getData( uint8_t data_addr )- This function allows user to get the desired data calculated to the properly unit.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes peripherals and pins.
- Application Initialization - Initializes I2C serial interface, reads the part ID and performs a device configuration and alarm setting.
- Application Task - (code snippet) - Checks the conversion counter value and when conversion was done reads data calculated to the properly unit and checks the alarm status. All results will be sent to the uart terminal. Note: Voltage and current conversion will be done after 4 seconds. Temperature conversion will be done after 16 seconds. After temperature reading the conversion counter will be cleared. Clearing the alarm while the corresponding low-voltage or low-SOC condition is still in progress does not generate another interrupt. This condition must disappear first and must be detected again before another interrupt (ALM pin driven low or alarm interrupt bits are set high) is generated for this alarm. Another alarm condition, if not yet triggered, can still generate an interrupt. Input voltage must be in the range from 2.7V to 4.5V. Maximal battery current is 5A.
