Adafruit LC709203F LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
Adafruit LC709203F LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor — Adafruit — 4712
STEP source
Adafruit, MIT

Low cost Lithium Polymer batteries have revolutionized electronics - they're thin, they're light, they can be regulated down to 3.3V and they're easy to charge.

Pinout

  • VIN

    Logic-level supply pin. Adafruit Learn states the chip can safely run from 3-5VDC and VIN should match the microcontroller logic level.

    Type · powerVoltage · 3-5VDC logic supply
  • GND

    Common ground for power and logic.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0V
  • SCL

    I2C clock line. Adafruit Learn notes a 10K pull-up on this pin.

    Type · i2c
  • SDA / SDI

    I2C data line. The Learn page labels this board pin SDI and says it is SDA, with a 10K pull-up.

    Type · i2c
  • STEMMA QT

    STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector carrying the board I2C connection to compatible boards and accessories.

  • INT

    Interrupt output. Adafruit Learn says it can pull low when voltage or percentage drops below a threshold and is pulled up to VIN with a 10K resistor.

    Type · digital
  • THERM

    Thermistor input. Adafruit Learn says connect a 10K thermistor to THERM and the other thermistor side to ground to read battery-pack temperature.

    Type · analogue
  • LED trace

    Back-side LED trace pads. The Learn page says cutting the LED trace disables the breakout LED to conserve battery power.
