BD3818KS FAQs

Hello everyone, my name is AnWen, and today we will share with you the solar charging control PCB design.

In the future, I will share with you DFM manufacturability analysis, PCB design, DFM tools, circuit design and other related knowledge here. Please give me your advice.

What I want to share with you today is: PCB project – MPPT solar charge controller using LT3652. (Attached with project schematic diagram + project information (Gerber) file, please remember to send me a private message to receive it)

Almost every solar-based system has a battery associated with it that must be charged from the sun, and the energy from the battery is used to drive the load. But to use solar panels to charge batteries, a better option is MPPT or maximum power point tracker topology, which has better accuracy than PWM controlled charger.

Working principle of MPPT solar charge controller

MPPT is an algorithm commonly used in solar chargers. The charge controller measures the output voltage of the panel and the battery voltage. By taking these two data, comparing them to determine the optimal power that the panel can provide to charge the battery. .

In any case, whether the sunlight conditions are good or poor, the MPPT charge controller uses this maximum power output factor and converts it into the optimal charging voltage and current for the battery. Whenever the power output of the solar panel decreases, the battery charging current also decreases.

Therefore, in low sunlight conditions, the battery is continuously charged based on the output of the solar panel. This doesn’t usually happen with regular solar chargers. Because every solar panel comes with a maximum output current rating and a short circuit rating.

MPPT is approximately 90%-95% efficient in conversion. Efficiency then also depends on solar driver temperature, battery temperature, solar panel mass and conversion efficiency.

In this project, build a solar MPPT charger for lithium batteries.

MPPT solar charger circuit diagram

The complete solar charge controller circuit is shown below:

This circuit uses the LT3652, a complete monolithic step-down battery charger that operates from an input voltage range of 4.95V to 32V. Therefore, the maximum input range for solar and adapter is 4.95V to 32V.

The LT3652 provides a constant current/constant voltage charging feature that can be programmed through a current sense resistor for a maximum charge current of 2A.

Output Section: The charger uses a 3.3V float voltage feedback reference so any desired battery float voltage up to 14.4V can be programmed using a resistor divider.

The LT3652 also contains a programmable safety timer using a simple capacitor, which is used to terminate charging after a desired time, useful for detecting battery failure.

The LT3652 requires MPPT setting, and one of the potentiometers can be used to set the MPPT point. When the LT3652 is powered by a solar panel, the input regulation loop is used to maintain the panel at peak output power. How to maintain regulation depends on the MPPT setting potentiometer.

MPPT solar charger value setting

1. Battery voltage setting
   VR1 is used to set the MPPT point, R2, R3, and R4 are used to set the 2S battery charging voltage (8.4V). The formula for setting the battery voltage is as follows:

RFB1 = (VBAT(FLT) • 2.5 • 10 5 )/3.3

RFB2 = (RFB1 • (2.5 • 10 5 ))/(RFB1 – (2.5 • 10 5 )) (set battery voltage formula)

2. Timer settings
   Capacitor C2 is used to set the charging timer, which can be set using the following formula:

tEOC = CTIMER • 4.4 • 10 6 (in hours) (set timer)

D3 and C3 are the boost diode and boost capacitor that drive the internal switch and promote saturation of the switching transistor. The boost pin operates from 0V to 8.5V.

3. Charging current setting
   R5 and R6 are parallel current sensing resistors, and the charging current can be calculated using the following formula:

RSENSE = 0.1/ICHG(MAX) (set charging current)

The current sense resistors in the schematic are chosen to be 0.5 Ω and 0.22 Ω, which are combined in parallel to produce 0.15 Ω. Using the above formula it will produce a charging current of almost 0.66A, C4, C5 and C6 are the output filter capacitors.

How the DC barrel jack is connected: If you plug the adapter jack into the adapter socket, the solar panel will disconnect. D1 will protect the solar panel or adapter from reverse current flow during no charging conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

A triode is an electronic component made on a semiconductor substrate. It consists of two PN junctions that are very close to each other.

These three parts divide the entire semiconductor into three parts: base area, emitter area and collector area.

Depending on the arrangement of the semiconductor materials, there are two types of transistors: PNP and NPN.

The pin design of the triode means that the triode has three pins, which are the base (Base, referred to as B), the collector (Collector, referred to as C) and the emitter (Emitter, referred to as E).

Transistor pin design core

These three pins correspond to the three areas inside the triode, and each pin has its specific function and role.

Base (B):

The base is the control electrode of the triode. It controls the amplification of the triode by controlling the input of current. Small changes in the base current will cause large changes in the collector current, thereby achieving current amplification.

Collector (C):

The collector is the main output terminal of the triode. It is responsible for collecting and outputting the amplified current. When the triode is working, a certain voltage needs to be applied between the collector and the emitter to maintain the normal operation of the triode.

Emitter (E):

The emitter is another important output terminal of the triode. It forms a PN junction together with the base and collector to achieve current amplification. The current change of the emitter is controlled by the base current. When the base current increases, the emitter current will also increase accordingly.

In the actual application of triodes, the pin design allows the triode to be easily connected and combined with other electronic components to achieve various complex circuit functions.

For example, in the microcontroller application circuit, the triode mainly plays the role of a switch, controlling the on-off of the entire circuit by controlling the on-off of the base current. In addition, triodes can also be used for circuit functions such as signal amplification and modulation.

Why do we need to design the pins of the triode?

The pins of the transistor are designed for efficient connection and utilization. First of all, through reasonable pin design, reliable connection between the triode and other electronic components can be achieved to ensure the stability and reliability of the circuit. Secondly, the pin design can optimize the input and output of current and signals, thereby optimizing the working efficiency and performance of the triode. In addition, reasonable pin design can also facilitate the detection, repair and replacement of triodes, improving the maintainability and reliability of electronic equipment. In short, the pins of the triode are designed to meet various needs in practical applications and to achieve efficient, stable and reliable operation of electronic equipment.

How are the pins of the triode designed?

The transistor is a common electronic component with three electrodes, namely base b, collector c and emitter e.

In terms of pin design of transistors, certain standards are generally followed to ensure compatibility with other components and circuits.

Here are some key points about transistor pin design:

1. Pin arrangement: The pin arrangement sequence of triodes is usually determined according to international standards. Normally, the three pins of a triode are arranged in a certain order, usually in the order of base, collector and emitter. In circuit diagrams, they are also labeled and annotated in this order.
2. Pin function: The function of each pin is specific. The base is the control electrode, the collector is the input electrode, and the emitter is the output electrode. In the circuit, by controlling the size of the base current, the current flow between the collector and the emitter can be controlled, thereby achieving functions such as signal amplification and switching control.
3. Package type: There are many package types of transistors, and each package type has different pin arrangements and sizes. For example, TO-92 packaging, TO-220 packaging, SOT-23 packaging, etc. When designing these package types, factors such as pin arrangement, pin spacing, and pin length need to be considered to ensure that the components can be successfully installed on the circuit board.
4. Pin spacing: Pin spacing refers to the distance between two adjacent pins. The size of this distance has a certain impact on the installation of components and the layout of the circuit board. Generally speaking, the larger the pin spacing, the easier it is to install and solder components, and it will also help improve the anti-interference performance of the circuit board.
5. Lead length: Lead length is the length from the bottom of the component to the top of the lead. When selecting the pin length, two factors need to be considered: one is the convenience during soldering, and the other is the space for the circuit board layout. If the pin length is too long, it may cause problems such as instability during soldering or short circuits with other components; if the pin length is too short, it may affect the layout and routing of the circuit board.

When designing the transistor pins, you also need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Consider package type and size: Different package types have different sizes and pin arrangements. You need to choose the appropriate package type and size according to actual needs.
2. Consider circuit board layout and wiring: When selecting pin length and spacing, you need to consider the needs of circuit board layout and wiring to ensure the stability of component installation and the reliability of circuit performance.
3. Follow standards: When designing pins, international standards and industry specifications should be followed to ensure that the designed transistor is compatible with other components and circuits.
4. Conduct simulation and testing: During the design process, simulation and testing can be performed to verify the feasibility and reliability of the design. This helps reduce errors and defects in the design and improves the success rate of the design.

In short, transistor pin design is a process that requires consideration of multiple factors. In the design, multiple aspects such as package type, functional requirements, circuit board layout, and standard specifications should be comprehensively considered.

Through reasonable design, the stability and reliability of the triode in the circuit can be ensured, thereby improving the performance and quality of the entire circuit.

International standards

There is no unified international standard for transistor pin design, because different manufacturers and different application scenarios may use different pin arrangement sequences. However, there are some common pin ordering and labeling methods to facilitate user understanding and use.

A common pin arrangement is the TO-92 packaged triode, whose pin arrangement is base, collector, and emitter. On the pins of the TO-92 package, the numbers 1, 2, and 3 are usually marked, corresponding to the base, collector, and emitter respectively. In addition, the letters B, C, and E are also marked on the pins of some triodes, which represent the base, collector, and emitter respectively.

Another common pin arrangement is the SOT-23 packaged transistor, whose pin arrangement is emitter, base, collector. On the pins of the SOT-23 package, the numbers 1, 2, and 3 are usually marked, corresponding to the emitter, base, and collector respectively. In addition, the letters E, B, and C are also marked on the pins of some triodes, which represent the emitter, base, and collector respectively.

In addition to the common pin arrangement order and labeling methods, there are also some special transistors that may use non-standard pin arrangement order and labeling methods. Therefore, when selecting and using a triode, users need to carefully check the triode’s specification sheet or circuit diagram to ensure correct connection and use.

It should be noted that the pin arrangement of transistors from different manufacturers may be different. Therefore, in actual use, it is necessary to carefully check the pin arrangement and labeling of the transistors to avoid connection errors that may cause abnormal circuit operation. At the same time, for some special application scenarios and specially packaged transistors, users need to select and use them according to specific requirements.

The high-frequency AC signal matched by the ultrasonic generator and the ultrasonic transducer is used to drive the ultrasonic transducer to work.

What is the function of ultrasonic generator

The function of the ultrasonic generator is to convert the mains power into a high-frequency AC signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer and drive the ultrasonic transducer to operate.

High-power ultrasonic power supplies generally use switching power supply circuits in terms of conversion power.

Ultrasonic power supplies are divided into self-excited and other-excited power supplies. The self-excited power supply is called ultrasonic simulation power supply, and the other-excited power supply is called ultrasonic generator.

Working principle of ultrasonic generator

An ultrasonic generator, also known as an ultrasonic power supply or ultrasonic transducer, is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It uses the principle of the piezoelectric effect to drive the piezoelectric ceramic material by applying high-frequency AC voltage, causing it to produce mechanical vibrations of the same frequency.

The working principle of the ultrasonic generator can be summarized as follows:

1. AC voltage: Ultrasonic generators usually use 220V or 380V AC voltage as input, and convert it into DC voltage through rectification and filtering.
2. Oscillator: The oscillator is the core part of the ultrasonic generator. It can be a self-excited oscillator or a self-excited oscillator. The self-excited oscillator generates oscillation through a positive feedback circuit, while the self-excited oscillator requires an external signal source to provide an excitation signal.
3. Piezoelectric ceramics: Ultrasonic generators use the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric ceramics to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. When piezoelectric ceramics are acted upon by an external electric field, they deform and produce mechanical vibrations.
4. Resonance unit: In order for the ultrasonic generator to work properly, it needs to match the impedance and frequency of the ultrasonic resonance unit. The resonant unit usually consists of an adjustable capacitor and a fixed impedance resistor to adjust the resonant frequency and impedance matching.
5. Amplifier: Since the amplitude of the transducer output is low, usually only a dozen microns, an amplifier is needed to amplify the amplitude. The amplifier amplifies the mechanical vibration signal output by the transducer so that it has sufficient energy for various applications.

In short, an ultrasonic generator is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Its working principle is to drive the piezoelectric ceramic material by applying high-frequency AC voltage to produce mechanical vibration at the same frequency, and adjust the parameters of the output signal through the resonant unit and amplifier.

What are the types of ultrasonic generators?

There are many types of ultrasonic generators, which can be divided into the following types according to different classification methods:

1. According to the working frequency, it can be divided into low frequency (100hz) and medium frequency (100~10mhz) ultrasonic generators.
2. According to the energy conversion mode, it can be divided into electromagnetic, piezoelectric ceramic and semiconductor ultrasonic generators.
3. According to the output waveform, it can be divided into continuous wave and pulse wave ultrasonic generators.
4. According to power, it can be divided into small power, medium power and high power ultrasonic generator.
5. According to the circuit structure, it can be divided into self-excited and separately excited ultrasonic generators.

In addition, there are some specific classifications, such as frequency-adjustable ultrasonic generators, 100W/300W ultrasonic generators, low-power ultrasonic generators, high-frequency ultrasonic generators, large-function ultrasonic generators, and digital display ultrasonic generators according to function. Generator etc.

How to judge the quality of ultrasonic generator

The quality of ultrasonic generators is generally judged from the following two points:

1. Check whether the output power is constant. We know that when the voltage of the ultrasonic power supply changes. The output power of the ultrasonic power supply will also change. At this time, the mechanical vibration reflected on the ultrasonic transducer will become larger and smaller, causing the cleaning effect to be unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to stabilize the output power and adjust the power amplifier accordingly through the power feedback signal to make the power amplification stable.
2. Check whether frequency tracking is efficient. When the ultrasonic transducer works at the resonant frequency point, it has the highest efficiency and the most stable operation. However, the resonant frequency point of the ultrasonic transducer will change due to assembly reasons and aging of the work. Of course, this change is only a frequency drift and does not change. It will be huge. Frequency tracking can control the frequency of the ultrasonic generator to follow the resonant frequency point of the ultrasonic transducer within a certain range. Let the generator always work at its best.

Matching problem between ultrasonic generator and transducer

Among ultrasonic cleaning machines of the same model, if the ultrasonic generator and transducer are well matched and debugged, the cleaning effect will be better; if the ultrasonic generator and transducer are poorly matched and debugged, the cleaning effect will be poor.

For the same ultrasonic system, if the cleaning effect deteriorates after working for a period of time, or the vibration box is replaced, the impedance matching circuit needs to be re-adjusted.

Different from the matching of general electronic equipment, the impedance matching of ultrasonic generators not only solves the problem of rheostat, but also solves the problem of tuning.

At present, most companies conduct matching and debugging based on the personal experience of ultrasonic engineers, and the matching effect also depends on people. different.

In actual application scenarios, some manufacturers found that the ultrasonic wave debugged in the factory was not effective at the customer’s end.

There are also customers asking why their cleaning equipment is running normally, but the cleaning quality of the products is unstable. There are many factors involved, and the failure of the ultrasonic system to match well is one of the important factors.

The matching and debugging of the ultrasonic system is crucial for ultrasonic cleaning equipment, but the current manual matching and debugging method greatly restricts the manufacturing efficiency of the ultrasonic system and the stability of the cleaning equipment.

FAQs

The working principle of P-channel Mosfet is to control the on-off of the channel through the gate voltage, thereby controlling the current between the drain and source.

When the gate voltage is positive, the holes in the P-type semiconductor will be repelled, resulting in a reduction in the number of holes in the channel, so that current cannot flow from the source to the drain, and the MOSFET is in a cut-off state.

When the gate voltage is zero or negative, the number of holes in the channel increases, forming a P-type channel, allowing current to flow from source to drain through the MOSFET, and the MOSFET is in a conductive state.

What is P-type channel MOSFET

P-channel MOSFET is an electronic device whose structure and working principle are similar to N-channel MOSFET, but the charge carriers are holes instead of electrons. In a P-channel MOSFET, holes are the main charge carriers and they flow between the source and drain, controlled by the gate.

The advantages of P-channel MOSFET include high switching speed, low on-resistance and high driving voltage, making it suitable for high-speed digital signal processing systems, communication systems, power electronics and power semiconductors.

P-channel MOSFET is a new generation of high-performance semiconductor devices in recent years, which combines MOSFET and p-channel technology. It has the advantages of MOSFET, such as high control accuracy, small size, low power consumption, high voltage resistance, and low thermal effect.
