Dude your awesome. I just got a similar chip and now thanks to you,I can have fun with it
Hi, I've been working on my own load for testing Li-Ion/Li-Po battery packs for a while now and your project caught my eye. I would like to use some of the solutions but I am very curious why the LM4140 reference voltage circuit is used? Basically it only supplies the DAC, but there is a huge voltage divider at the output: 10k/560R. So the voltage range going into the amplifier is only 0-217mV? Am I understanding this correctly? I wonder what the point of this is, as the voltage in the amplifier is boosted back up to a maximum of 5V
@dominikworkshop60076 ай бұрын
Hello! The LM4140 was chosen for its outstanding stability, particularly due to its low temperature coefficient. Since the DAC's output depends on the supply voltage, ensuring a very stable reference voltage is crucial for consistent performance. The DAC needs to operate within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, which necessitates using a voltage divider to limit the output voltage range, as you correctly observed. The reason for setting the output voltage range to 0-217mV is that this reference voltage is compared with the voltage across the 0.1 ohm shunt resistor. When the reference voltage on the non-inverting input of the U1 amplifier reaches 217mV, the corresponding current through the shunt resistor would be 2.17A (for one power stage, there are 4 of these in parralel). Hope it clears things up, and that I understood your question correctly.

So the 5 V regultors are for voltage reference for opamps right? What about stability of the outpout with a big load? How much your outpout voltage drop let's say at 2 amps current for example?
@dominikworkshop60076 ай бұрын
Yes, the 5V regulators are currently used as voltage references for the op-amps. However, this is not the most optimal design choice. Using a dedicated voltage reference like the TL431 could provide better precision and stability. After replacing the P-MOSFET with a BJT, the output has shown stability even under heavy loads. More details on this change can be found in the README file on the GitHub repository. While I haven't precisely measured the output voltage drop at a 2A load, I estimate it to be less than 10mV. As demonstrated in the video at the 5:39 mark, there's no noticeable drop in output voltage even at a 3A load.
@grzesiek1x6 ай бұрын
10 mV is very good as with common l317 and simple design it can drift (at least in my case) about 180 mV or something in both ways which is quite annoying while charging LiPo batteries 🙄 I have to monitor the current all the time...

Można zrobić wielokanałowy z możliwością łączenia szeregowo, ale tak jak piszesz, controll board by to zwierał.

Hello Dominik, great work🎉. I do have a question for you. There is a labeled pin as “OFF” in the schematics. Since this pin is same in every mosfet and controlled by 1 output pin so how do you calibrate each mosfet seperately? Thanks!
@dominikworkshop600710 ай бұрын
Thank you!!! I don't have to calibrate each mosfet seperately. The op-amps ensure that the current is very evenly distributed. I used 4 resistors to sum the voltage on shunts, but it turned out unnecesary (maybe except for when there could be some hardware failure), because the op-amps are so precise, that the voltage on shunts is pretty much identical. Hope I managed to clear this out.

Yes, they can be replaced with 0,5 ohm resistors, but that would mean more power loss on these resistors, unless the maximum current is reduced. They can certainly be replaced with other types of resistor, but I suggest ensuring that they have low thermal coefficient.

Did you use an input trigger? I mean define in defines.hh is wrong. It corresponds to ENCODER_BUTTON and the signal input trigger is connected to pin A7 on the PCB. It's just an analog input. Has it ever been tried? Miroslav
@dominikworkshop6007 Жыл бұрын
You are right, thank you for pointing it out. I haven't used the input trigger yet, and there is an error in defines.hh, where I defined this pin to pin 3, instead of A7. The two pins I know can work as external interrupts were used for the ENCODER_A and ENCODER_BUTTON signals. I'm not sure if I will be able to configure the A7 input as external interrupt, but in that situation I planned to just check the state of this pin frequently, and act accordingly. I know it's not perfect, but the uC used in this load has some limitations. If I were to make a V2 of this project, I would probably base it on some STM32 uC.

I love these DIY PS. Nice done 👍. A long time ago... 30 years or so... I also made a DIY power supply. I used a motor-controlled variac as the input voltage, to minimise the dissipated power. The voltage across the control transistors is constant (automatically controlled via the motor) so also the dissipated power of the transistors is constant regardless of the output voltage. So in addition, I also had a 4A 0-280VAC, 40A 0-25VAC, 20A 0-50VAC and stabilised 40A 0-25VDC or 20A 0-50 VDC. Made my own current measuring resistor (hand wound resistor) for the sake of the 40A. DC was with adjustable current limit. Now it's in the basement and is nothing more than an anchor... (Oh how heavy that thing is 😂)
@dominikworkshop6007 Жыл бұрын
Thank you! That sounds like a great solution (ignoring the immense weight I can only imagine it had xD)! I wander how it reacted when the output voltage changed rapidly, especially when it goes up. I guess that the motor-controlled variac didn't adjust very fast (or did it?). I see that this problem would be ocurring especially in the constant current mode, when the load rapidly decreases. Or maybe it's not a big deal and the power supply handled it well?
