2.1 Overall System Description

Figure 2 shows the wide-Vin battery charger system block diagram.

system_bd_laa476.gifFigure 2. System Block Diagram

This particular system can monitor and charge two smart batteries at the same time. The system primarily comprises two subsystems (boards):

  • MSP430F5510 daughterboard subsystem
  • Power-stage board with the DC/DC converter subsystem

The MSP430F5510 board contains all of the digital logic and components of the system, while the power-stage board has all of the analog and power components. The MSP430F5510 board docks to the power-stage board through a 10-pin header. The following sections describe each of the subsystems.
