Project

This module is a single-cell Li-ion battery charger based on the Microchip MCP73831. It takes a DC input at VIN, regulates charge current via a programming resistor, provides status indication with an LED, and outputs to the battery at VBAT. Key functions and components:

Input power connector: VIN
Charger IC: IC1
Charge-current programming resistor: Rprog
- Sets charge current (up to 500 mA) according to the MCP73831 datasheet formula
Decoupling capacitors:
- C1 (80 nF–1 µF on VIN)
- C2 (input decoupling)
- C3 (output decoupling on VBAT)
Charge-status indicator LED: STAT
Battery output connector: VBAT
Common reference (0 V): GND

Workflow: apply a DC source (e.g., 5 V) to [VIN], the MCP73831 regulates and limits charge current according to [Rprog], decoupling capacitors stabilize the rails, and [STAT] indicates charge status (on/fast-charge vs. off/charge-done). The battery attaches at [VBAT].

Based on the provided project details, we have the following IC and its associated decoupling capacitors. Since the texts did not provide specific voltage levels for the power nets or voltage ratings for the capacitors, certain assumptions will be made. Typically, in lithium-ion battery charging applications, the input voltage (VIN) might range from 4.5V to 6V, assuming a common USB power source or similar. The MCP73831T operates safely within this range as its operating voltage range typically allows for this. Without explicit capacitor voltage ratings, we'll assume a standard rating that exceeds the application's needs.

ICs and Decoupling Capacitors:

Table

IC Designator	Decoupling Capacitor(s)	Power Net	Voltage of Net (Assumed)	Capacitor Value	Voltage Rating (Assumed)	Status
IC1 (MCP73831T-2ACI/OT)	C1, C3	VIN, VBAT	5V for VIN (Assumed), 4.2V for VBAT (Assumed)	C1: 4.7u, C3: 4.7u	10V (Assumed)	$OK$

Assumptions:

The voltage of the VIN and VBAT nets are assumed based on typical values for lithium-ion battery charging circuits.
The voltage ratings of the decoupling capacitors (C1 and C3) are assumed to be 10V, which is a common value for applications operating within the voltage ranges mentioned. This assumption is made in the absence of specific data.
Since both C1 and C3 are connected to IC1 and meet the general recommendation for having decoupling capacitors, and the assumed voltage rating of the capacitors is well above the assumed net voltages, their status is marked as $OK$ .

Note: The presence of "

WARNING

" signals could not be determined without the actual voltage ratings of the capacitors and the precise voltage levels of the nets. Users should verify these values against the capacitors' datasheets and the requirements of their specific application to ensure proper operation.

Circuit Connections

Power Input (VIN):
- Connect VIN:(P1) to IC1:(VDD) for power supply to the IC.
- Connect C1:(P1) also to VIN to serve as a decoupling capacitor for the power input. Connect C1:(P2) to GND.
- Install another decoupling capacitor C2 connected from VIN to GND to stabilize the input power further. Specifically, connect C2:(P2) to VIN and C2:(P1) to GND.
Ground Connections (GND):
- Connect GND to IC1:(VSS), providing a common ground reference for the IC.
- The ground side of C1, C2, and C3 (C1:(P2), C2:(P1), C3:(P2)) should be connected together and to GND.
Battery Connection (VBAT):
- VBAT:(P1) goes to IC1:(VBAT) for the battery connection.
- Connect C3:(P1) to VBAT to serve as a decoupling capacitor for the battery. C3:(P2) connects to GND.
Programming Resistor (Rprog):
- Connect Rprog:(P1) to IC1:(PROG) to set the charging current. According to the datasheet information, a 2k resistor can be used here.
- Rprog:(P2) goes to GND.
Charge Status LED (STAT):
- Connect STAT:(A) to IC1:(STAT) to receive charge status signals.
- Connect STAT:(K) through R1:(P1) to GND for the status LED. R1 limits the current through the LED. Here, R1 is specified as 1k.

This textual schematic provides a comprehensive guide for connecting the components of your Lithium-ion battery charger project using the MCP73831. For lay-outing these connections in Flux, follow the pin-to-pin connections accurately, and place components to minimize noise and potential interferences, especially keeping decoupling capacitors close to their corresponding IC pins.
