Overview

Reverse battery protection is an open-source printed circuit board by voltlog, from the voltlog/reverse-battery-protection repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 40 × 29 mm with 19 parts on 29 nets, routed with 124 tracks and 14 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY48-MMU and DMG1012T-7. Its parts include 3 resistors, 1 capacitor, 1 IC, 1 diode and 1 transistor. It belongs with the power boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Reverse Battery Protection Using N-ch Mosfet

I designed this circuit to show a simple circuit to achieve reverse battery protection in low power devices. Everyone knows the classic solution of using an in-line diode but that has one major drawback: the voltage drop on the diode. If your circuit is powered by a CR2032 you can’t afford losing 0.5V on the diode. The circuit I’m showing uses a mosfet to achieve the protection feature but minimises the voltage drop and the losses because a mosfet will have a very low internal resistance when conducting.

Questions

How big is the Reverse battery protection PCB?

It measures 40 × 29 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Reverse battery protection use?

19 parts, built around the ATTINY48-MMU and DMG1012T-7. 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 Reverse battery protection KiCad files?

From the voltlog/reverse-battery-protection repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is reverse.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Reverse battery protection design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
