XK3100

www.DataSheet4U.com XK3100 3 or 4 Cell Li-Ion Battery System Development Kit FEATURE Self contained Development Board (batteries not included) X3100 and microcontroller control BENEFIT Speed system development Maximum flexibility to explore alternative implementations. Evaluate algorithmic trade-offs for Gas Gauging and Cell Balancing functions Minimize battery pack development issues Simple interface to special X3100 functions Speeds development of industry standard Smart Battery interface The XK3100 board provides the external devices needed to control the battery pack and adds a microcontroller. This microcontroller talks to the PC through a 2-wire interface. The microcontroller provides a mechanism for interrogating the X3100 status, monitoring the pack voltages and current and controlling protection settings. The board provides an interface for attaching microcontroller development tools. This will facilitate the development of more complete battery pack software. Future revisions of the software and microcontroller firmware, may include: full SMBus support, battery gas gauging, cell balancing, and history tracking. The XK3100 user interface consists of a Graphical User Interface program running on Windows 95/98. This software provides a menu driven method of setting the programmable elements of the X3100, monitoring the status of the batteries and reading the on-chip EEPROM. The XK3100 board and software will monitor and control all features of the X3100 ...
