OpenUPS

The OPEN-UPS was designed to provide user-specified regulated power output across a wide input-voltage range, with battery backup, multi-chemistry charging and cell balancing on a single PCBA. The unit automatically switches the power path between the battery and the main DC input and provides buck/boost output regulation.

OpenUPS offers strong Windows / Linux support and an API that allows developers to integrate it with custom applications.

Open-UPS provides the following features:

- Intelligent UPS, USB interface, SMBUS slave and I2C master. Communication can be performed over USB, and the device also provides SMBUS reporting capability. Windows detects OpenUPS as a battery and automatically displays the battery status in the system tray.

- Input 6-30V, programmable output 5-24V. The input can be supplied by a regulated or unregulated DC source, and the output can be programmed to any value from 5-24V, with a resolution of 0.25V or better. The output is tightly regulated by a high-efficiency synchronous buck/boost converter capable of delivering 6A (10A peak).
NOTE: The default setting supplied with openUPS is 12V.

- Li-Ion, Li-Po, LIFEPO4, lead-acid. A truly multi-chemistry battery-charging and regulation solution. If a particular battery chemistry is not supported by default, new battery profiles can be created easily. The charge current, float voltage and bulk-charging parameters can be configured through the USB interface and stored in the OPEN-UPS non-volatile flash memory.

- Fuel gauge. Open-UPS provides accurate fuel-gauge capabilities by precisely measuring input and output current flow. In low-battery situations, the system can send an ON/OFF pulse to a motherboard, or report the remaining battery capacity via USB, to allow the system to shut down gracefully.
