... Low-power modes • Internal temperature sensor 1 Introduction This document describes the ATAVRSB100 (SB100) smart battery development board. The SB100 is designed for evaluation of the Atmel AVR ATmega406, which is designed for smart battery applications. The ATmega406 is designed for battery packs with Li-Ion cells in series. ...

... To use the SB100 it needs to be connected to an SMBus host/charger, a battery pack (or a simulated battery pack) and a number of jumpers need to be configured correctly. Further, for programming and debugging it is required to hook up an Atmel JTAGICE mkII. Note that ATmega406 does not support in-system serial programming ...

... HDR2 provides access to the JTAG interface of the ATmega406, which is used for programming and debugging using the JTAGICE mkII. The use of JTAGICE mkII is described in the AVR Studio® online Users Guide and on the Atmel web. Note that the older JTAGICE does not work with this board. ...

... The PI and NI pins are the input to the Coulomb Counter ADC. Since this is a very high sensitivity input, care has been taken in the layout to ensure that leakage from other voltage sources is minimized. The layout of the ATAVRSB100 board includes GND traces, which act as leakage absorbers highly recommended to not use No-Clean flux when manufacturing production boards, as such leaves a residue that may be conductive ...

... VR5 can now be used to adjust the voltage on all cells simultaneously. To configure the ATAVRSB100 for cell voltage simulation, all five jumpers of J3 must be installed. This ties the outputs of the buffered voltage divider stages to the cell inputs. Additionally an external power supply must be connected to CONN2 pin 1 (GND) and CONN2 pin 2 (positive) ...

... This is jumpable directly on JB2 pins 3 and 4. Any other line that supports the Pin-Change functionality could also be used. As supplied from the factory, the ATAVRSB100 Development Kit is set up for simulation of both cell voltages and pack current. The jumpers come configured as shown in Table 2-7. ...

... Output JB2 provides access to several I/O signals as well as extra signals used in the software implementation provided by Atmel (specifically the SMBCLK signal and the SPARE pushbutton). Additionally, power for the LEDs can be selected here to come either directly from 3.3V or from PB6 (OC0A PWM output). ...
