Adafruit LC709203F LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor

Adafruit LC709203F LiPoly / LiIon Fuel Gauge and Battery Monitor — Adafruit — 4712

I2C fuel-gauge breakout based on the LC709203F. Reports LiPoly/LiIon cell voltage and percentage state-of-charge without the non-linear decoding math.

  • 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
  • SDASDI

    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.

    Type · Unknown
  • JST battery ports

    Two equivalent JST battery/load ports. Adafruit Learn says either port can connect the battery and the other can connect the charger or load; watch battery polarity if not using an Adafruit battery.

    Type · PowerVoltage · LiPoly / LiIon battery connection
  • 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 · GPIO
  • 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 · Analog
  • LED trace

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