- S1 (U3:S1) and S2 (U3:S2):
- These should be connected to the common ground. In a typical battery protection circuit using FS8205A, S1 and S2 act as the source terminals for the N-channel MOSFETs, and they should be tied to the ground.
- For the battery negative connection, you should ensure that the common ground net includes the battery negative terminal. This ensures that current can safely return to the battery.
Connections for D1 and D2- D1/D2 (U3:D1/D2):
- These serve as the drain terminals of the MOSFETs.
- Connect D1/D2 to the positive terminal of the battery. This allows the MOSFETs to control the flow of current to and from the battery. The connection manages both charging and discharging paths, ensuring the protection mechanisms function properly.
Typical Setupmekicaman

- D1/D2 (U3:D1/D2): Should connect to the battery positive, ensuring integral charge/discharge pathways. Currently part of Net 4, which is correct.
Potential Issues or Recommendations:- Observe the Battery Monitoring (VM): Ensure proper connection to the positive terminal for effective operation. Currently, it's part of a ground net, which may require repositioning.
- Ensure Net Integrity: Verify that all critical nets do not have unintended crossovers or disconnections using the view or inspection system available in your CAD tool.
Summary:mekicaman
copilot
- VM (U2:VM): It is currently connected to R5:P1 in the GND net.
Recommended Correction:- VM is used for voltage monitoring and should typically be connected to the positive terminal of the battery, not directly to ground. This ensures it can properly sense the battery voltage to control over-discharge protection.
Action Required:mekicaman
copilot
- In your current configuration, U2:VM is connected to R5:P2. It is part of Net 15, which currently might not be properly configured for voltage sensing.
Recommended Configuration for VM:- VM should be connected to the battery positive terminal to monitor the battery's voltage. This way, it can effectively control the over-discharge protection feature by the DW01A. Ensure that VM is connected to Net 4, as it contains the positive connections related to the battery.
Regarding R4 Before VCC on U2:- R4 is not typically required before VCC on U2 (DW01A) in a standard Li-Po protection circuit setup.
- The DW01A typically connects directly to the positive terminal via VDD without a need for an inline resistor at VCC.
- Ensure that U2:VDD is connected directly to the battery positive or your circuit's VCC that corresponds to uninterrupted voltage levels.
Recommendations:mekicaman
copilot
- Connection Requirement: Directly connect to the battery positive terminal. This pin powers the DW01A, and a direct connection is standard for providing accurate battery voltage to the IC.
- No Resistor Required: Use a direct connection to ensure full voltage for proper monitoring and control.
