Overview
In many applications, lithium batteries are used as our power solutions.
In this kind of application, the most two important things are the power boost and battery charger. These two points are a prerequisite for the system.
The traditional power boost and battery charge circuit are usually divided into two separate parts, the circuit will be relatively cumbersome to build.
The Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP2636 is highly-integrated, flexible switch-mode battery charger with system power path management, designed for single-cell Liion or Li-Polymer batteries used in a wide range of portable applications.
It is really simple to use, once you plug a lipo battery, it will work like a power bank.
When there is an external power supply from VIN, it will charge the battery automatically, and the CHG led will light up; when there is no external power, only battery on battery port, the Boost will be ON.

Everyone in the world of smart and digital automation is getting ready to meet at SPS in Nuremberg. It’s the place to be if you want to see the future come to life – and of course a great opportunity to get to know Arduino better, with live demos and the chance to talk directly to our experts. Come visit booth 5-338 to discover our growing ecosystem of solutions and see it in action! “Since the 2022 edition of SPS, we’ve launched dozens of components, released software upgrades and added new services. But that’s only half the story. What we strive to achieve is to enable millions of Arduino users to imagine, implement and truly innovate. Our mission is to make technology accessible to all, to see people achieve the impossible. The maker philosophy may have started with tinkering in a messy garage, but has evolved into a distinct professional approach that allows everyone to seize the opportunities that come with the most disruptive phenomena of the present.”– Adriano Chinello, Pro Business Unit Leader at Arduino Without doubt, automation is one of the strongest trends we see today, with huge potential for future development. That’s why the applications we’ll showcase at SPS run the gamut from super-powerful edge computing to energy monitoring systems. For example, in Nuremberg you can check out how the Portenta X8 combines with the Portenta Max Carrier to deploy a secure, industrial-grade Linux computer – ready to interact with equipment in the factory or integrate with existing smart kiosks by creating a multi-protocol gateway that collects data from various onsite controllers, processes them and sends them to the Cloud via Wi-Fi, LoRa®, NB/IoT or LTE Cat.M1. Or you can find out how the Portenta Machine Control can be integrated in an electric panel to monitor consumption and other energy-related parameters... or team up with a Nicla Vision to control a robotic arm that automatically picks items from a conveyor belt and places
