Dear TI E2E Team,
I am looking to integrate Mains Supply with MPPT to charge battery with Solar Panel as well as Mains Supply. My requirements and queries are as below :
1) Photovoltaic Full Bridge Driver – SM72295 – It is used to sense 2 Currents, Panel Current & Battery Current and can drive 4 MOSFETS. My Requirement – To sense 3 Currents and to drive 6 MOSFETS.
2) Controller’s VDD is controlled by Panel’s Voltage P+. In case when Panel is cut off will my controller and other IC’s turn off?
3) Does this design support Trigger / Trickle Charging?
4) Can you provide me with its Design Document or Technical Document along with Calculations and its Technical Working, just to get a clear idea of this design?
5) In this design we are using Interleaved Buck Controller to charge battery. If Panel’s Voltage drops to less than Battery’s Voltage, still having enough power to charge it, but battery won’t get charge in that case as there is no Boost Circuit. Is that so?
6) Do we have Temperature Sensing of Battery in this design?
7) Microcontroller – MSP430F5132 – Doesn’t support LCD Driver. My Requirement – Should support LCD Drivers. Have to display all my voltages and currents along with some warnings on LCD.
8) Microcontroller – MSP430F5132 – Senses Panel & Battery Currents and Voltages. My Requirements – To measure these along with Mains AC Voltage, Mains O/P DC Voltage and O/P DC Current.
9) Microcontroller – MSP430F5132 – Pin No 16, 17 19, 20 : These pins are used as PWM? If yes can any other controller which supports LCD will have this functionality?
10) Microcontroller - MSP430F5132 – Can this support 4 Comms Interfaces – Like if I want to integrate RF, Optical, RS232 / RS485 or WiFi?
11) Can I use MSP430F6779 Controller? If I do use it, do you think all my specified requirements will be met?
