[iot_umbrella] #10 power supply – description

For umbrella project I build my own power supply system.

 

- solar panel (3V, 80mA)

- storage/battery element (LiPo rechargeable battery from Fuel Tank BoosterPack)

- my own universal solar charger device (based on TI bq255040 )

- TI TLV70433 LDO (3,3V, 150mA)

Designed by my universal solar charger is based on TI bq25504

Solar charger parameters are configured by resistors.

-          battery over voltage protection value (ROV1, ROV2)

-          battery under voltage protection value (RUV1, RUV2)

-          battery ok value and battery ok hysteresis value (ROK1, ROK2, ROK3)

Maximum power point tracking value is set on 80%.

Battery thermal shutdown protection value is set on 65”C.

 

In my solution I configured values:

-          over voltage: 4,2V (ROV1=4,5 M ROV2=5,5 M)

-          under voltate: 2,8V (RUV1=4,5 M, RUV2= 5,5 M)

-          battery ok.: 3,3 V battery ok hysteresis 3,7V (ROK1= 3,4 M, ROK2= 5,5 M, ROK3= 1,1 M)

  Bq25504 working like on shematic below:

During choosing rezistors paremeters very  helpfull is TI spreadsheet:  bq25504_Design_Help_V1_2.ods I used it in my work.

In attachment I share

Bq25504 datasheet, bq25504_Design_Help_V1_2.ods spreadsheet, and TLV ldo datasheet

    Hi Lukasz, Very useful info! I've been reading up on this device and the bq25505 recently. The information above will be extremely useful for the 'In The Air' challenge too, so I think lots of people will…

    at the begin I was thinking about using trimpots too, but finally I resigned from this idea,,, why ? few reasons 1. trimpots are expensive 2. it is hard to buy trimpost with resistance 10M / 5M 3. trimpots…

    Nice work.

    The booster certainly makes small solar cells useful.

    I have a few projects and was trying to deal with lower voltage storage then boosting it for the load, but this makes more sense.

     

    Thanks for sharing it.

    Lukasz Krysiewicz,

    test results and anomalies? I was thinking of add the ROV and RUVs on the board using trimpots jumpers and fixed values. That will work?

    Nice post on the TI charging chips.

     

    I had looked at these earlier when TI brought out the battery booster pack and they looked very impressive.

     

    It is good to see how easily you could use them in your own board.  Good board work by the way.
