DS21768A-page 1 PS4200 The PS4200 module is a complete smart battery controller subsystem based on the Microchip PS402 battery manager with patented Accuron technology. The module is designed to operate in a battery pack consisting of six 6 to ten 10 series connected Ni-based cells. The module consists of the Microchip PS402 battery manager IC with a four LED SOC display and an optional connection for an external thermistor. Quick Start - Pack Assembly Follow these directions to assemble a pack with the PS4200 module. • Use standard precautions when handling static sensitive devices. • Modules should be connected to battery cells in the order indicated below to insure proper start-up and operation. Wires should be attached to the modules first and then connected to the battery cells as instructed. • The connection sequence is critical to successful use of the PS402 family of CMOS ASICs. The pack positive should be securely connected to the module first, followed by pack negative. Step 1 Configure the module for optional external thermistor use. PS4200 modules are shipped configured to use the internal temperature sensor only. To add an external thermistor to the board, remove resistor R16 and connect the thermistor across vias TN and TR. Step 2 Connect wires to module. Use large diameter wire 18 AWG-20 AWG for current carrying lines from VR and V1. All others are signal only lines 24 to 22 AWG . Step 3 Connect V1 to the most positive point on the battery cell stack. Step 4 Connect VR to the most negative point on the battery cell stack. Step 5 Connect external connector to BN, T, C, D and BP. Step 6 Program the assembled pack using Microchip's PowerTool software and PowerCal board or PowerInfo board hardware. The EEPROM parameters can be changed at will using the utilities on the P4 EE page in the PowerTool software. The OTP EPROM parameters can be changed a limited number of times using utilities on the P4 OTP page. To write to the OTP EPROM, an additional voltage VPP must be applied to the PS402. This programming voltage can be obtained from the PowerInfo board and applied to the PS4200 at connection VP small thru-hole located on the small edge of the board opposite the connector edge. Step 7 Calibrate the pack using the PowerTool software and PowerCal board hardware. The pack is now ready for use.

The State-ofCharge calculations are compensated for cell self discharge and charge acceptance. The remaining time calculation is compensated for temperature and discharge rate. The parameters for determining battery status flags and alarm thresholds are all programmable as is the battery design capacity and the battery performance model data.
