Re: dewalt battery powered radio - no power at board
Hah, I think it'll be getting a bluetooth board stuck in it now, its got an aux input I can commandeer - if I can find a 5v rail on the board I'll stash it inside somewhere ...
Re: dewalt battery powered radio - no power at board
From what I can tell >
If it is that particular voltage detector and not something else …
There is a voltage detect value in this case defined at 3v with upper and lower hysteresis values to prevent oscillation. Vdet being 3v with min -Vdet and max +Vdet
If vdd is below operating voltage the output is undefined
Otherwise output follows Vdd or Vss depending if Vdd is above or below Vdet - switching on the upper and lower bounds of +-Vdet values...
Re: dewalt battery powered radio - no power at board
ahh interesting
if thats correct it would make sense that it uses the differential between battery + and pin c3 on battery to detect single cell voltage and cut off if below 3v?
on a fully charged battery I have >
pin 1 - 18.67v
pin 2 - 20.5v
pin 3 - 16.42v
Vdet is essentially 4.1v in this case referenced to battery pin c3 rather than battery negative - and I'd expect VOut to follow Vdet which it isn't?
Looks like battery voltage comes in and runs through a battery discharge protection circuit triggering a P-Channel Mosfet NCE40P13S for output to main board.
Uses C3 pin on battery which I think is one of the cell voltages
Input from battery is 20V fully charged
Seems like there is full battery voltage at the gate of the mosfet, nothing on the drain and full battery again on the source which doesn't seem right....
