Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3049 LiPo/Li-Ion Battery Charger with Monitoring IC, STBC08, STC3100, I2C In

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3049):

Charger 2 click is a LiPo/Li-Ion battery charger with an additional monitoring IC onboard. This Click board™ offers an unparalleled battery charging and monitoring solution for 3.7V LiPo/Li-Ion batteries, with capacity measurement/gas gauge function, for up to 7000 mAh. It provides measurement data via the I2C interface and two signaling LEDs on the Click board™ itself. It features two dedicated ICs – one for charging the battery and one for monitoring its status. The charging function is performed by the STBC08, a standalone linear battery charger IC, while the monitoring of critical battery parameters is done by the STC3100, a battery monitor IC with Coulomb counter/gas gauge. Type: Battery charger. Applications: It can be used for applications that require optimal and reliable charging of 3.7 V Li-Po batteries. On-board modules: STBC08, an 800 mA standalone linear Li-Ion battery charger with thermal regulation; STC3100, a battery monitor IC with Coulomb counter/gas gauge, both from STMicroelectronics. Key Features: A wide range of different monitoring and charging features, which provide optimal charging characteristics, gas gauge measurement of the remaining battery capacity, manual regulation of the charging current limit. Interface: I2C. Input Voltage: 3.3V, 5V. Click board size: M (42.9 x 25.4 mm).
