Based on your block diagram, I can suggest a few ICs that could be suitable for implementing your design in Flux. Please keep in mind that you'll need to check these suggestions against your specific requirements such as current ratings, voltage levels, and other specifications. Here are some starting points:
  1. MCU (Microcontroller Unit):
    • Atmel ATmega328P (used in Arduino Uno) for simple applications.
    • STM32 series (e.g., STM32F103C8T6) for more complex applications with higher performance requirements.
  2. LoRa Module:
    • HopeRF RFM95W for basic LoRa connectivity.
    • Semtech SX1276/77/78/79 for a module requiring more customization.
  3. Boost Converter:
    • Texas Instruments TPS61022 for low to medium current applications.
  4. Switch:
    • Fairchild Semiconductor FDS9945 for a basic MOSFET switch solution.
  5. Voltage Regulator Circuit:
    • Linear: Texas Instruments LM7805 for a simple 5V output.
    • Switching: Texas Instruments LM2675 for efficient regulation with higher current capability.
  6. Battery Protection IC:
    • Seiko Instruments S-8261 for overcharge and overdischarge protection.
  7. Battery Charging IC:
    • Microchip MCP73831 for single-cell LiPo batteries.
  8. ESD Protection:
    • Texas Instruments TPD2E001 for low-capacitance ESD protection, suitable for I2C, UART, or other high-speed interfaces.
  9. MAX3485 (for RS485 communications):
    • Maxim Integrated MAX3485 for RS485/RS422 full-duplex communication.
  10. USB Interface:
  • Microchip USB251xB for a USB 2.0 hub controller if multiple USB devices are required.
  • FTDI FT232RL for USB to serial UART interface.
Remember to check the datasheets carefully to ensure compatibility with your application's voltage and current requirements and consider the operating temperature range, package type, and availability before finalizing any decisions.
To implement this in Flux, you can search for these components in the Flux library, or if they are not available, you can create custom components by specifying their footprints and pinouts. Once the components are placed, you can interconnect them as per your block diagram, paying meticulous attention to the proper routing of power, ground, and signal lines for optimal performance and reliability.

You recommended a few ICs for microprocessors and LoRa connectivity, do those microprocessors have the right communication busses to talk to the LoRa modules?
1y
To interface with a LoRa module, a microcontroller typically needs to have one or more of the following communication interfaces: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit). Most LoRa modules primarily use SPI for communication as it allows for high-speed data transfer which is suitable for the configuration and operation of the LoRa transceiver.
Here's a brief evaluation of the microcontrollers I suggested:
  • Atmel ATmega328P: Found in the Arduino Uno, it has SPI, UART, and I2C (referred to as TWI - Two Wire Interface in Atmel documentation). It is fully capable of interfacing with LoRa modules such as the HopeRF RFM95W, which commonly use SPI.
  • STM32 Series: These microcontrollers have a robust peripheral set, including multiple SPI, UART, and I2C interfaces. For example, the STM32F103C8T6 has at least two SPI buses, three USARTs, and two I2C interfaces, making it not only capable of interfacing with a LoRa module but also providing flexibility to handle multiple communication protocols simultaneously.
Given the typical requirements for interfacing with a LoRa module, both microcontrollers are appropriate choices. For instance, the Semtech SX127x family of LoRa transceivers, which are very commonly used in LoRa modules, can be interfaced with using SPI for setting up the LoRa parameters and sending/receiving data.
When implementing the microcontroller in your project, ensure that you connect the correct pins from the MCU to the corresponding SPI pins on the LoRa module, which usually include:
  • SCK (Serial Clock)
  • MISO (Master In Slave Out)
  • MOSI (Master Out Slave In)
  • NSS (Chip Select, sometimes called CS)
The exact pinout will depend on the LoRa module you choose. It's also a good idea to consult the datasheets of both the MCU and the LoRa module to confirm compatibility and to understand the correct initialization and communication protocols.
