ADC with measure MOSFET control

  1. ADC Ctrl LOW (0V):

    • Q8 is OFF (no base current).
    • The gate of Q7 is pulled up to VBAT via R30.
    • Q7 (P-MOSFET) is OFF (Vgs ≈ 0V).
    • No voltage is present at BAT_ADC; the voltage divider is disconnected from VBAT.
    • ADC input is isolated (saves power, prevents leakage).
  2. ADC Ctrl HIGH (e.g., 3.3V or 5V):

    • Q8 is ON (base current flows via R9/R25).
    • Q8 pulls the gate of Q7 towards GND through R31.
    • Vgs of Q7 becomes negative (gate lower than source), turning Q7 ON.
    • VBAT is now connected to the voltage divider (R32/R33).
    • The divided voltage appears at BAT_ADC for ADC measurement.

Purpose

  • Power Saving: Only connects the voltage divider to the battery when ADC measurement is needed, reducing continuous current drain.
  • Control: Allows the microcontroller to enable/disable battery voltage sensing.

Summary Table

ADC Ctrl Q8 (NPN) Q7 (P-MOSFET) BAT_ADC Output
LOW OFF OFF Disconnected (0V)
HIGH ON ON Battery voltage via divider

In summary:
ADC Ctrl enables or disables the battery voltage divider connection to the ADC
