SolidSwitch 6 Click

SolidSwitch 6 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

Click Library

• Author : Nenad Filipovic
• Date : Feb 2024.
• Type : SPI type

Software Support

Example Description

This library contains API for the SolidSwitch 6 Click driver and demonstrate uses of the high-side switch controller with intelligent fuse protection.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.SolidSwitch6

Example Key Functions

• solidswitch6_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void solidswitch6_cfg_setup ( solidswitch6_cfg_t *cfg );

• solidswitch6_init Initialization function.

err_t solidswitch6_init ( solidswitch6_t *ctx, solidswitch6_cfg_t *cfg );

• solidswitch6_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

err_t solidswitch6_default_cfg ( solidswitch6_t *ctx );

• solidswitch6_get_vout This function reads the raw ADC value and converts it to a proportional voltage level using the SPI serial interface.

err_t solidswitch6_get_vout ( solidswitch6_t *ctx, float *vout );

• solidswitch6_set_control This function writes control registers to configure the switch controller using the SPI serial interface.

err_t solidswitch6_set_control ( solidswitch6_t *ctx, solidswitch6_ctrl_t ctrl );

• solidswitch6_get_device_temp This function reads the raw ADC value and converts it to device temperature in degrees Celsius using the SPI serial interface.

err_t solidswitch6_get_device_temp ( solidswitch6_t *ctx, float *tj );

Application Init

The initialization of the SPI module and log UART. After driver initialization, the app sets the default configuration.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    solidswitch6_cfg_t solidswitch6_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */
    
    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    solidswitch6_cfg_setup( &solidswitch6_cfg );
    SOLIDSWITCH6_MAP_MIKROBUS( solidswitch6_cfg, MIKROBUS_POSITION_SOLIDSWITCH6 );
    if ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == solidswitch6_init( &solidswitch6, &solidswitch6_cfg ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    if ( SOLIDSWITCH6_ERROR == solidswitch6_default_cfg ( &solidswitch6 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    log_printf( &logger, " ______________________\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Application Task

The demo application reads and displays the device temperature and voltage level of the current sense amplifier, NTC, and output voltage measurement. Results are being sent to the UART Terminal, where you can track their changes.

void application_task ( void )
{
    float app_buf = 0;
    if ( SOLIDSWITCH6_OK == solidswitch6_get_device_temp( &solidswitch6, &app_buf ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Temperature: %.2f [degC]\r\n", app_buf );
        Delay_ms ( 100 );
    }

    if ( SOLIDSWITCH6_OK == solidswitch6_get_vntc( &solidswitch6, &app_buf ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " NTC: %.2f V\r\n", app_buf );
        Delay_ms ( 100 );
    }

    if ( SOLIDSWITCH6_OK == solidswitch6_get_vout( &solidswitch6, &app_buf ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " Vout: %.2f V\r\n", app_buf );
        Delay_ms ( 100 );
    }

    if ( SOLIDSWITCH6_OK == solidswitch6_get_vds( &solidswitch6, &app_buf ) )
    {
        log_printf( &logger, " VDS: %.2f V\r\n", app_buf );
        Delay_ms ( 100 );
    }

    log_printf( &logger, " ______________________\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
