Battery Regulator Module

Custom lithium-polymer battery voltage monitor and regulator module.

Overview

This custom module is designed as a drop-in for small-scale electronics projects providing 3.3V linear regulated voltage output from a raw lithium polymer cell input. The battery input voltage is monitored by the MIC2779 whose output enables or disables the regulated output supply. It is configured with hysteresis to cutoff output when the battery voltage reaches 3.1V and to then hold in reset until the battery voltage exceeds 3.6V.

Battery Regulator Module 3d Render

The module supports the 1.5A maximum current limitations of the regulator chip AP7362 used.

This module may be combined with a Lipo charger module such as the TP4056 (along with any in-circuit charging mods as required) for a complete custom battery charging/monitoring/regulation for small-scale electronics projects.

The zipped gerber files provided may be uploaded to a PCB manufacturer for fabrication. Below is the automatic rendering of the uploaded gerbers by OSHPark.

Questions

How big is the Battery reg module PCB?

It measures 15.2 × 12.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Battery reg module use?

10 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Battery reg module KiCad files?

From the johnmgreenwell/battery-reg-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is battery-reg-module.kicad_pcb and its schematic battery-reg-module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Battery reg module design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
