Xicor XK3100
The XK3100 board provides the external devices needed to control the battery pack and adds a microcontroller. This microcontroller talks to the PC through a 2-wire interface. The microcontroller provides a mechanism for interrogating the X3100 status, monitoring the pack voltages and current and controlling protection settings.| Part No. | XK3100 |

DESCRIPTION
The XK3100 is a development board that features the Xicor X3100 Lithium Ion battery protection and monitor IC. For use in battery packs consisting of 3 or 4 LithiumIon battery cells, the X3100 provides:● internal over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protection circuitry
● internal EEPROM memory
● circuits for externally monitoring cell voltages and pack current, including a current sense amplifier for higher resolution current measurements,
● an internal voltage regulator, and
● internal drive circuitry for switching external FET devices used to control cell charge, discharge, and cell voltage balancing. Included in the XK3100
● Fully assembled and tested board, complete with microcontroller, FETs, sense resistor and regulator circuits.
● Win95/98 compatible executable program providing the user interface to the hardware.
● Cable from the PC parallel port to the XK3100
● Two samples of the X3100
● Users Manual
● X3100 Data Sheet
● Board schematics and layout information
● Two application notes. ©Xicor, Inc.
