 | Kit Overview
The Atmel's ATAVRSB201ATAVRSB201 development kit for the Atmel ATmega16HVAATmega16HVA for battery packs with either one or two cells in series. The kit features autonomous battery protection, as well as very accurate voltage, current and temperature monitoring capabilities to protect the battery pack and surroundings from hazardous conditions and derive the most energy from the battery cells.This kit includes both the SB201-1 and the SB201-2 hardware.
The ATAVRSB201ATAVRSB201-1/SB201-2 kits are evaluation and development kits for the new Atmel AVR
The SB201-1 targets single cell smart batteries, while the SB201-2 targets dual cell smart batteries. The two products are based on the same firmware source code, compiled differently for each target-hardware. SB201 hardware for evaluation of the ATmega8HVA/16HVA device and the SB201 firmware are available as ATAVRSB201ATAVRSB201.
The SB201-1 and SB201-2 have a common PCB and only differ in which components are mounted and the silk screen. They will be commonly referred to as SB201.The SB201 consist of three parts, the edge connector, the main area and the connector and support area. The main area contains all the circuitry needed in a battery pack design.The main area contain the ATmega16HVAATmega16HVA device, charge and discharge N-FETs, 10mΩ sense resistor, decoupling capacitors, filter capacitors/resistors for the voltage and current ADCs and ESD protection.
Key Applications: Single Series Li-Ion Cell applications, 2 Series Li-Ion Cell applications. | |||||||||||
