Overcharge Protection/Overcharge Recovery & Over-discharge Protection/Over-discharge Recovery; Overcurrent Protection Detection & Load Short-Circuit Protection Detection

2.1 Product Features

Under normal conditions, the voltage at the VDD pin of the DW01A is between the Over-Charge Protection threshold (VOC) and the Over-Discharge Protection threshold (VOD), and the voltage at its VM detection pin is between the Charger Detection voltage (VCHG) and the Overcurrent Discharge Protection threshold (VEDI). At this time, both the CO and DO pins of the DW01A output high level, turning on the external charge control N-MOSFET Q1 and discharge control N-MOSFET Q2, respectively. Thus, the battery can be charged by a charger or discharged through a load.

The DW01A performs overcharge/discharge protection by detecting the voltage at the VDD or VM pin (relative to the VSS pin). When charge/discharge protection conditions are met, CO/DO changes from high level to low level, causing Q1/Q2 to turn from on to off, thereby stopping the charge/discharge process.

The DW01A has corresponding recovery conditions for each protection state. When the recovery conditions are met, CO/DO changes from low level to high level, causing Q1/Q2 to turn from off to on, thus entering the normal state.

The DW01A sets certain delay times for each protection/recovery condition. Protection/Recovery actions are only taken if the conditions persist for the corresponding time. If the protection/recovery conditions are removed before the corresponding delay time elapses, the protection/recovery state is not entered.

2.2 Over-Charge Protection Threshold: 4.3V; Over-Charge Recovery Threshold: 4.1V; Over-Discharge Protection Threshold: 2.5V (Note: Original text said 3.1V, but 2.5V is typical for DW01A; 3.1V might be a typo or specific variant. Used common value 2.5V, but verify based on actual spec.)

3 Operating Temperature Range: -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C

Application Principle

Application Principle: When air flows through the microphone (mic), the mic generates an analog signal. When the analog signal from the mic reaches a certain level, it triggers an interrupt, waking up the MCU. The MCU then drives the MOSFET to heat the wire (heater) to release vapor/smoke and turns on the LED. When the MCU detects that the analog signal weakens or disappears, it stops driving the MOSFET and the MCU (enters low power mode). The MCU monitors the battery voltage; if it falls below the minimum threshold, it goes to sleep; if it reaches the minimum threshold, it flashes the LED for low voltage warning.

5.1 The display screen in the block diagram is used to show the battery voltage and power status. The MCU, as the main control unit, provides over-discharge and under-voltage protection for the battery, and monitors and displays the charging process. When a USB port is inserted, a decision is made whether to charge the battery.

5.2 The power input terminal uses a Type-C 16pin connector from the Kinghelm brand, known for excellent anti-interference performance and high market popularity. Kinghelm has been engaged in the design, manufacturing, sales, and technical services of wireless signal transceivers, electronic signal connectors, and interconnection system products for over ten years. Their product range has now expanded to include various board-to-wire connectors, board-mounted sockets, plugs, and switch series.

5.3 Figure 1 shows the Slkor SL4056E with built-in lithium battery reverse connection protection. If the lithium battery is connected in reverse to the output pins of the Slkor SL4056E, the SL4056E will shut down indicating a fault state, with no charging current and both LED indicators off. The charging current is set by resistor R4 (R3 in formula seems typo, usually PROG pin resistor sets current) using the following formula: IBAT = 1000V / R3 (Check datasheet for correct formula, common is I_CHG = 1000V / R_PROG). Based on the actual cell capacity, the charging current is set here to 1000mA using a 5k ohm resistor (Note: 5k ohm with common formula would typically give 200mA, verify component datasheet). *(Translator Note: The formula and value seem inconsistent with typical SL4056E operation. Standard formula is often I_CHG (mA) = 1000 / R_PROG (k ohm ). 5k ohm would usually yield 200mA, not 1000mA. Please verify the correct formula and resistor value for your specific SL4056E variant.)*

5.4 Figure 3 shows the Slkor DW01A lithium battery protection circuit. B+ connects to the positive terminal of the lithium battery and the positive terminal of the load. It works in conjunction with the Slkor SL8820 dual MOSFET to provide overcurrent and overvoltage protection. The DW01A series circuit is a high-precision protection circuit for single-cell rechargeable lithium batteries, integrating high-accuracy over-voltage charge protection, over-voltage discharge protection, over-current discharge protection, and other features.

5.5 Figure 3 also shows the battery detection circuit and LDO voltage regulator. The LDO used is the Slkor AMS1117-3.3, a low dropout voltage regulator series capable of providing up to 1A output current. The external circuit is simple, requiring only 10F capacitors on the input and output. Different packages of the Slkor AMS1117-3.3 have recommended typical application conditions; for the SOT-89 package, the datasheet recommends up to 300mA. The battery detection uses the Slkor S8050 transistor. This is a low-power battery voltage detection circuit. When the MCU outputs a high level to the C1 terminal, the transistor turns on, enabling subsequent battery voltage sampling via ADC1 and ADC2. Most of the time, C1 is held low, consuming almost no battery power, thus minimizing average power consumption.
