@copilot I want to create a circuit that take a diferential voltage between two consecutive lifepo cell wth voltage excursion from 3.7 to 2 volts, and rescales that to a signal from 0 to 3.3
To achieve this, you'll need to use a differential amplifier to measure the voltage difference between the two LiFePO4 cells and scale the output to match a 0 to 3.3V range. Here’s a general approach:
Differential Amplifier:
Use an operational amplifier (op-amp) configured as a differential amplifier to measure the voltage difference between the two cells.
The difference you'll be measuring will range from 3.7V to 2.0V.
Resistor Network for Scaling:
Choose resistors to set the gain in your differential amplifier so that a 1.7V input difference (3.7V - 2.0V) is scaled to a 3.3V output.
Assuming ideal op-amp conditions, the gain $A$ you need is:
A=Vin, maxVout=1.7V3.3V≈1.94
Op-Amp Selection:
Select an op-amp with rail-to-rail output to ensure it can produce the target output range of 0 to 3.3V.
Make sure the op-amp can operate with an appropriate supply voltage, like 3.3V or higher.
Power Supply for the Op-Amp:
Ensure that the op-amp is powered by a suitable voltage for your application; a 5V supply could work well depending on the op-amp chosen.
Calibration and Testing:
Once the circuit is built, test it with known voltages to ensure it performs as expected.
Let me know if you'd like specifics on the schematic or part recommendations! Would you also like tips on simulating the circuit in Flux?
Resistors: Four precision resistors for the differential amplifier configuration. Choose values to set the gain to approximately 1.94.
Circuit Connections:
Differential Amplifier Setup:
Use the LM9032 as a differential amplifier by selecting appropriate resistor values.
Resistor Network:
Let’s designate the resistors as R1, R2, R3, and R4. The basic configuration follows these equations for a differential amplifier:
Vout=(R1R2)R3R4×(V+−V−)
Assuming equal resistor values for R3 and R4, and setting $R2/R1 = A = 1.94$, you can choose values like:
Building a schematic in Flux is a straightforward process due to its user-friendly interface and integrated tools. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Open the Schematic Editor:
In Flux, go to your project and access the schematic editor, where you can create and modify your circuit schematics[1].
Add Components:
Use the library panel on the left to search for components. You can drag components from the library onto the canvas and place them where you'd like [1].
Connect Components:
Once your components are in place, you'll need to connect them. Simply draw wires between component pins or use the assistance of Flux Copilot to automate the connections[2].
Inspect Properties:
Use the inspector on the right to see and modify properties of selected components. This can include parameters like resistance, capacitance, etc.[1].
Simulate your Circuit:
Flux provides a built-in simulator, allowing you to test your design in real-time without leaving the platform[3].
Collaborate in Real-Time:
You can invite collaborators to view or edit your schematic in real-time, ensuring feedback and changes are immediate[4].
Remember, Flux keeps everything updated and synchronized in the cloud. This means you won't have to worry about version control manually[5].
